Jigsaw puzzle dimensions vary significantly by brand and piece count. A 1000 piece puzzle typically measures between 26" x 18" and 30" x 24" when completed. This variation matters when choosing a puzzle board—you need enough workspace for both the puzzle and sorting pieces.
Here's a quick reference for standard puzzle sizes:

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about puzzle board sizes and dimensions.
What size puzzle board do I need for a 1000 piece puzzle?
For most 1000 piece puzzles, a board with at least a 29" x 21" puzzle area works well. Our 1000pc board (28.75" x 20.75") fits standard brands like Buffalo Games, Cobble Hill, and Ceaco. For larger brands like Springbok, White Mountain, or Ravensburger, choose our 1000pc XL (30.5" x 23").
How big is a 1000 piece puzzle in inches?
A 1000 piece puzzle typically measures between 26–30 inches long and 18–24 inches wide when completed. The exact size depends on the brand. Ravensburger 1000 piece puzzles measure 27.6" x 19.7", while Springbok puzzles are larger at 30" x 24".

What's the difference between a puzzle board and a puzzle mat?
A puzzle board provides a rigid, flat surface—ideal for working at a table or moving your puzzle between rooms. A puzzle mat is flexible felt that rolls up for storage. Boards offer better stability while puzzling; mats are better for storage between sessions. Our wooden puzzle boards can be paired with a protective cover for the best of both worlds.
Can I move my puzzle while working on it?
Yes! Our puzzle boards are designed to be portable. Pick up the entire board and move it to another room, or slide it under a bed when you need the table space. Add a rotating base to spin your puzzle for easier access to all sides.
How much space do I need around the puzzle?
We recommend 2–3 inches of workspace around your puzzle for sorting edge pieces and staging sections. All our boards include this margin. If you prefer extra sorting space, consider adding storage trays that attach to the board.
