Standard bed sizes in India
Bed and mattress sizes in India are usually quoted in feet or inches (width x length). These are the common sizes:
| Size | Feet (W x L) | Inches (W x L) |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 3 x 6 ft | 36 x 72 in |
| Single Long | 3 x 6.5 ft | 36 x 78 in |
| Diwan (Double) | 4 x 6 ft | 48 x 72 in |
| Queen | 5 x 6 ft | 60 x 72 in |
| Queen Long | 5 x 6.5 ft | 60 x 78 in |
| King | 6 x 6 ft | 72 x 72 in |
| King Long | 6 x 6.5 ft | 72 x 78 in |
| Super King | 6.5 x 6.5 ft | 78 x 78 in |
Sizes can vary by about 1 to 2 inches between brands, so always check the exact size on the product page before you order.
King size bed vs queen size bed
A queen bed is usually 5 feet wide, while a king bed is 6 feet wide. A king bed gives two people more space to sleep, but it needs a bigger bedroom. If your room is small, a queen bed leaves more space to walk around. You can see our king size beds to compare sizes.
The bed frame is bigger than the mattress
The mattress size and the bed size are not the same thing. The frame, headboard and side panels add extra width and length. Always measure your room using the full bed size, and keep enough clear space to walk, open doors and open your wardrobe.
Do you need storage?
If your bedroom is short on cupboard space, a storage bed helps. A hydraulic storage bed lifts the mattress platform so you can use the space under it for blankets and bedding. Check the box size before you buy so your mattress and bedding fit.
How to pick the right size
- Measure your bedroom length and width first.
- Decide how many people will sleep on the bed.
- Check the mattress size you already own, or plan to buy.
- Leave a clear walking path on both sides if possible.
- Check that the bed will fit through your door and stairs.

Frequently asked questions
What is the size of a king size bed in India?
A king size bed is commonly 72 x 72 inches (6 x 6 ft) or 72 x 78 inches (6 x 6.5 ft). Sizes can vary slightly between brands.
What is the difference between a queen and a king bed?
A queen bed is usually 5 feet wide and a king bed is usually 6 feet wide. The king bed is wider and needs a larger room.
Is the bed size the same as the mattress size?
No. The bed frame is larger than the mattress because of the headboard and side panels, so check both sizes before you buy.
How to choose between bed sizes in India for your room
Always measure the room before you pick from the common bed sizes in India. Keep at least 2 feet of free walking space on each side of the bed, and leave room to open wardrobe doors and drawers. As a simple rule, a single or diwan bed suits a room of about 8 x 10 ft, a queen bed fits well in a room of about 10 x 12 ft, and a king bed needs 12 x 12 ft or more.
Remember that a side table, almirah or dressing unit also needs space. A bed that is too large makes a room feel crowded, so choose the size that gives comfortable movement.
Bed size and mattress size: match them correctly
The mattress should match the inner frame of the bed. A queen mattress of 60 x 72 inches needs a queen bed frame of the same size. Many buyers order a bed first and a mattress later, so confirm both sizes before you order. Common mattress sizes in India follow the same measurements, which makes it easy to replace a mattress later.
Box bed, storage bed and platform bed
Storage beds with a box or hydraulic lift are popular because they save space for blankets, pillows and seasonal clothes. Their frame is slightly heavier and deeper, so check the measurement before you finalise the size. A solid Sheesham wood bed is strong enough to support the extra storage weight for many years.
Why choose solid Sheesham wood for your bed
Sheesham is a hard and dense wood, so a bed made from it handles daily use and heavy mattresses well. It also takes carving, polish and brass work nicely, giving you a bed that looks good and lasts. You can read more about the wood on Wikipedia.
Quick summary of bed sizes in India
To sum up, the main bed sizes in India are single, diwan, queen and king, each with a standard and a long version. Measure your room, match the mattress, and leave space to walk around the bed. Use this list of bed sizes in India as a checklist when you compare models, and confirm the exact dimensions of the bed you like before ordering.
