King Size Bedsheet Dimensions in India
Shopping for a king set and not sure what size to buy? Here are the exact measurements — the king mattress, the sheet that fits it, and a full chart for every bed size in India.
The 10-second version
- An Indian king mattress is about 72×78 in (183×198 cm).
- A king bedsheet is about 108×108 in — wide enough to tuck in on all sides.
- Indian king ≠ US or UK king. Always buy to Indian measurements.
- Want drop that tucks in? Look for 10–12 in extra on each side.
The short answer
A king size bedsheet in India measures about 108×108 inches (roughly 274×274 cm). It’s made to fit a king mattress of about 72×78 inches, with enough extra fabric — the “drop” — to tuck in neatly on every side.
Full India bedsheet size chart
Mattress sizes in India are fairly standard, but sheet sizes vary a little by brand. These are the sizes we cut to at Maytrika, and they match the common Indian standard:
| Bed size | Mattress | Flat sheet | Fitted / dohar |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 36 × 75 in | 60 × 90 in | 60 × 90 in |
| Double | 48 × 75 in | 90 × 100 in | 90 × 100 in |
| Queen | 60 × 78 in | 90 × 100 in | 90 × 108 in |
| King | 72 × 78 in | 108 × 108 in | 108 × 108 in |

Why the drop matters
The mattress is only part of the story. What makes a bed look made — and keeps the sheet from pulling loose at night — is the drop: the fabric that hangs past the mattress edge. On a king, a 108×108 in sheet clears a 72×78 in mattress by roughly 15–18 inches per side before tucking, which is comfortable for most mattress heights, including thicker ones.
Indian king vs US & UK king
“King” doesn’t mean the same thing everywhere — this trips up a lot of online shoppers:
| King, by region | Mattress size |
|---|---|
| India | about 72 × 78 in |
| US / imported | about 76 × 80 in |
| UK | about 60 × 78 in |
So a sheet sold to a US or UK king spec may sit loose or short on an Indian king bed. If you’re buying in India for an Indian mattress, stick to Indian measurements — that’s what the chart above uses.
Choosing your king set
Once the size is right, the rest is feel: breathable cotton for our climate, a weave you like, and a finish that lasts wash after wash. Our king sets are cut to the 108×108 in standard in pure and ELS cotton — see the Products page, filter by King, and pick your fabric.

How much drop should a king bedsheet have?
Aim for at least 10–12 inches of drop per side so the sheet tucks in and stays put. A 108×108 in sheet gives comfortable drop on a standard Indian king mattress.
Will a US or UK king bedsheet fit an Indian king bed?
Not reliably. A US king is about 76×80 in and a UK king about 60×78 in — both different from the Indian king of about 72×78 in. Buy sheets sized to Indian standards.
