Bed Size in India: King, Queen, Double and Single Bed Dimensions
We compare furniture sold on Amazon India. You buy on Amazon at Amazon’s price; we may earn a commission.
Bed size in India is measured by the mattress the bed holds: a king is 72 x 78 inches (6 x 6.5 ft), a queen 60 x 78 inches, a double 48 x 72 inches and a single 36 x 72 inches. The bed frame adds 3 to 8 inches on each side, so the room needs more than the mattress number suggests.
The short answer
- King: 72 x 78 in (6 x 6.5 ft, 183 x 198 cm). Best for couples, rooms 11 x 12 ft and up.
- Queen: 60 x 78 in (5 x 6.5 ft, 152 x 198 cm). The most common double bed in Indian flats.
- Double: 48 x 72 in (4 x 6 ft, 122 x 183 cm). One adult with space, or a guest room.
- Single: 36 x 72 in (3 x 6 ft, 91 x 183 cm). Kids’ rooms, PGs and study rooms.

Bed size chart for India
Indian beds follow mattress sizes in inches. Most brands sell three lengths: 72, 75 and 78 inches. The 78-inch length is now the default for king and queen beds, while 72 inches is still common for single and double beds.
| Bed size | Mattress (inches) | In feet | In cm | Sleeps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single | 36 x 72 / 36 x 75 | 3 x 6 ft | 91 x 183 cm | 1 child or adult |
| Double (small double) | 48 x 72 / 48 x 75 | 4 x 6 ft | 122 x 183 cm | 1 adult, roomy |
| Queen | 60 x 72 / 60 x 75 / 60 x 78 | 5 x 6.5 ft | 152 x 198 cm | 2 adults |
| King | 72 x 72 / 72 x 75 / 72 x 78 | 6 x 6.5 ft | 183 x 198 cm | 2 adults + child |
In everyday Hindi, a “double bed” or “palang” usually means a queen or king, not the 48-inch double in the chart. When you shop, go by the inch size, not the name.
Mattress size vs bed frame size
The bed size is the mattress size; the frame is always bigger. A solid sheesham bed adds the headboard, side rails and footboard around the mattress.
- Width: add 4 to 8 inches. A king with a 72-inch mattress is usually 76 to 80 inches wide outside.
- Length: add 6 to 12 inches. Carved or cushioned headboards add the most.
- Height: storage beds are 14 to 18 inches to the top of the base; add your mattress (5 to 8 inches) for the sleeping height.
Always use the outer bed dimensions from the listing, not the mattress size, when you plan your room. Our Room Fit Checker does this sum for you.
Which bed size fits your room
Leave at least 24 inches (2 feet) of walking space on the sides you use and in front of any wardrobe door. With that rule, these are the smallest comfortable rooms:
| Bed size | Smallest room | Comfortable room |
|---|---|---|
| Single | 7 x 9 ft | 8 x 10 ft |
| Double | 8 x 10 ft | 9 x 10 ft |
| Queen | 9 x 10 ft | 10 x 11 ft |
| King | 10 x 11 ft | 11 x 12 ft and up |
In a 2 BHK, the master bedroom usually fits a king and the second bedroom a queen. If your room is tight, a queen with drawer storage often beats a king without it. Our guide to the best bed for small Indian bedrooms goes deeper.
King vs queen size bed
A king is 12 inches (1 foot) wider than a queen; the length is the same. That extra foot matters most for two adults who sleep with a child, or for anyone who sleeps restlessly.
- Choose a king if the room is 11 x 12 ft or larger, two adults share the bed, or a child often sleeps in it.
- Choose a queen if the room is under 11 ft on one side, you need space for a wardrobe or study table, or the budget is tight. Queen beds and mattresses cost less.
For the full king sizes, including the 84 x 72 inch option, see our king size bed dimensions guide.
What to check in the listing
- Mattress size supported: the listing should name it in inches, for example 72 x 78. If it only says “king”, ask the seller or skip it.
- Outer dimensions: length, width and height of the full bed, so you can check the room and the doorway.
- Mattress included or not: most wooden beds on Amazon India come without a mattress.
- Wood: “solid sheesham” for the frame is what you want. Engineered wood, MDF or HDMR means board, not solid wood.
- Storage type: box storage (lift the base) or drawers. Hydraulic storage is easier to open but adds cost.
- Assembly: check whether the seller assembles it or you do.

Common questions
What is the standard bed size in India?
There are four standard sizes: single 36 x 72 inches, double 48 x 72 inches, queen 60 x 78 inches and king 72 x 78 inches. Lengths of 72, 75 and 78 inches are all sold; 78 inches is the most common for queen and king beds today.
What is the size of a king size bed in feet?
A king size bed in India is 6 x 6.5 feet for the mattress (72 x 78 inches). The wooden frame around it is usually about 6.5 x 7 feet, so check the outer dimensions in the listing before you buy.
What is the size of a queen size bed in feet?
A queen size bed is 5 x 6.5 feet (60 x 78 inches) for the mattress. Some queen beds use a 75-inch or 72-inch length, so match the mattress length to the bed you buy.
Is a double bed the same as a queen size bed?
Not exactly. In shop language, “double bed” often means any bed for two people. By mattress size, a true double is 48 inches wide, while a queen is 60 inches wide. Two adults are usually more comfortable on a queen.
What room size do I need for a king size bed?
Plan for at least 10 x 11 feet, and 11 x 12 feet if you also want a wardrobe and side tables. Keep about 2 feet of walking space on the sides you use and in front of wardrobe doors.
