Bedding Sizing Made Simple: Choose the Right Sheets, Pillows, and Blankets

Getting the perfect fit for your bed can feel like a guessing game, but it doesn’t have to be. In this guide we break down the most common sizes for sheets, pillows, blankets and mattresses, so you can buy with confidence. No more buying a sheet that’s too short or a pillow that never feels right.

Standard Sheet Sizes You Should Know

Sheets usually come in three parts: a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and a pillowcase. The fitted sheet wraps around the mattress, so its dimensions must match the mattress width, length and depth. In India the most common mattress sizes are:

• Single – 90 cm × 190 cm (depth 20‑30 cm)
• Double – 135 cm × 190 cm (depth 20‑30 cm)
• Queen – 150 cm × 200 cm (depth 20‑30 cm)
• King – 180 cm × 200 cm (depth 20‑30 cm)

When you shop for sheets, look for the same width and length numbers. If your mattress is thicker than 30 cm, add a few centimeters to the depth figure on the label. The flat sheet should be at least 30 cm longer than the mattress on each side, which gives you a tidy look and enough fabric to tuck in.

Choosing Pillows and Blankets

Pillow sizes are easier: standard (45 cm × 70 cm), queen (50 cm × 75 cm) and king (50 cm × 90 cm). Pick a size that matches your sleeping position. If you like to hug your pillow, a larger queen or king works best. For blanket sizes, add about 20 cm to the mattress width on each side and the same to the length. A queen‑size blanket (200 cm × 220 cm) fits a queen mattress nicely, while a king blanket (240 cm × 220 cm) covers a king bed with room to spare.

Why does it matter? A properly sized blanket stays in place, looks neat and feels comfortable. An oversized blanket can slide off, while a too‑small one leaves gaps that get chilly.

Here’s a quick cheat‑sheet you can print or save on your phone:

Finally, measure your mattress before you shop. Use a tape measure, write down width, length and depth, then match those numbers to the label on the sheet or blanket. It’s a quick step that saves you money and hassle.

Now you’re ready to pick the perfect bedding without second‑guessing. Enjoy a tidy bed, a cozy night’s sleep, and the confidence that everything fits just right.
