Bed Sizes in India: Inches, Feet and cm Chart

By priya rao · Updated 23 Oct 2026 · 7 min read

In short

Indian mattress sizes are named by width: Single 36″, Double 48″, Queen 60″, XL Queen 66″ and King 72″. Most beds today are 78″ (6.5 ft) long. Measure the inside of your bed frame, and buy by the number, not the name: a "Queen" at one brand can be a different size at another.

Highlighted: 78″, the length of most beds today. Every size except the Diwan also comes 75″ long (6.25 ft, 190 cm). To convert: feet × 12 = inches, and inches × 2.54 = cm.

Length: go by the tallest sleeper

You: 70″Mattress: 78″

Lying down, your toes point and the pillow takes space. A common rule from mattress makers: the mattress should be about 8″ (20 cm) longer than you.

Tallest sleeper, up to	Length
5 ft 4 in (163 cm)	72″
5 ft 7 in (170 cm)	75″
5 ft 10 in (178 cm)	78″
6 ft 4 in (193 cm)	84″

The bed frame decides too. A 72″ mattress on a 78″ bed leaves a 6″ gap at the foot. Measure the frame before you choose a length.

Width: how much room each of you gets

36″
Single. One sleeper. A child's room or a guest room.
24″
Double, each. Roomy for one adult. Tight for two.
30″
Queen, each. Enough for most couples.
33″
XL Queen, each. More room when a King won't fit the room.
36″
King, each. A whole Single's width per person.
30″
Diwan. For diwans and daybeds. Ortho Memory 4 Mattress only.

People move in their sleep. In a study of 664 adults wearing motion sensors, people spent more than half the night on their side and changed position about 1.6 times an hour: around a dozen turns a night. On their side, knees and elbows take more width than a body lying on its back.

A partner adds more. In a study of 46 couples, about one in three movements happened within the same 30 seconds for both partners. In the UK, the National Bed Federation points out that a 54″ double gives each person 27″, "less than a baby gets in a cot". An Indian Double gives 24″.

A child sleeps with you? Choose a King. Many Indian children share their parents' bed. In a Chandigarh study of 103 children, 93% of those aged 3 to 10 did, and 91% of those over 7 still did.

Will it fit the room?

24″60″24″9 ft

Leave about 24″ (61 cm) beside the bed, to walk and to make it.
Getting out on both sides? The room must be the bed's width plus 48″.
Wardrobe doors need 36″ to 48″ in front of them to open.
Measure the frame from the outside too: it is wider and longer than the mattress.

Bed	Room width, both sides free	One side on a wall
Double 48″	8 ft (244 cm)	6 ft (183 cm)
Queen 60″	9 ft (274 cm)	7 ft (213 cm)
XL Queen 66″	9.5 ft (290 cm)	7.5 ft (229 cm)
King 72″	10 ft (305 cm)	8 ft (244 cm)

The National Building Code sets the smallest habitable room at 2.4 m (about 7 ft 10 in) wide: there, a Queen fits with one side on the wall.

How to measure your bed

12

Take the old mattress off. Measure the inside of the frame, where the mattress sits: the length down the middle.
Then the width across the middle. If the two ends differ, take the smaller number.
Write it in inches, length first: 78 × 60.
Within an inch of a standard size? Take the standard size. A mattress up to an inch smaller than the frame fits well.

Custom sizes

Carpenter-made beds are often not a round number. Every Sunday mattress comes in a custom size, up to 84 × 72″.

Type your sizeOn the mattress page, choose Custom and enter the inside of the frame.
Next size up, same priceWe cut it from the next standard size, and you pay that size's price.
Same promiseStill in the 100‑night trial, still returnable.

The Sunday Mattress Protector and Topper come in standard sizes. For a custom mattress, take the size it was cut from: they fit.

Every Sunday mattress arrives never compressed, at full height: sleep on it the night it arrives. It travels flat, so when you order, tell us if it goes up stairs or in a lift, and we plan the carry.
