"Which size do I need?" is probably the most common question we get before someone places an order. It's a fair question — unlike a lot of countries, there isn't one fixed industry standard for mattress sizes in Pakistan, so "double bed" can mean slightly different dimensions depending on who made the mattress. Here's how to get it right.
Why bedsheet sizing is confusing in Pakistan
Mattress manufacturers here don't all work to the same fixed dimensions, and size names get used loosely — what one furniture shop calls a "double bed" might be a couple of inches off from another. That's why the safest approach is always to measure your actual mattress rather than assume based on the name of your bed size.
Standard bed and bedsheet sizes
| Size | Approx. mattress size | Typical flat sheet size | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 36 × 75 in | ~90 × 108 in | Kids' rooms, hostel/single sleepers |
| Double | 54 × 75 in | ~96 × 108 in | Couples, shared rooms |
| King | 72 × 78 in | ~100 × 98 in | Master bedrooms |
These are approximate industry figures — always check the exact dimensions listed on the specific product you're buying, since they can vary slightly between sellers and even between designs.
How to measure your mattress in three steps
- Step 1: Measure the length of your mattress from head to foot, in inches.
- Step 2: Measure the width, from one side to the other.
- Step 3: Compare both numbers to the sizing table above, and round up rather than down if you're between two sizes — a slightly larger sheet tucks in properly, a slightly smaller one won't.
What if your mattress is a non-standard size?
If your mattress is deeper than average (a pillow-top or a thicker foam mattress), or slightly larger than the standard measurements above, size up rather than sticking to the exact number. A flat sheet needs a few extra inches all around to tuck in properly and stay in place through the night — a tight fit will keep coming loose.
What's usually included at each size
Bedding sets vary by size as well as by seller. Single sets are typically a flat sheet with one pillow cover. Double sets usually include a flat sheet and two pillow covers. King sets often step up further — a flat sheet, multiple pillow covers, and sometimes a comforter or duvet cover, depending on the specific set. Always check the product's "includes" section rather than assuming.
