Single Bedsheet Size India — Dimensions, Buying Guide & FAQ

Single bedsheet standard India: 60 inches × 90 inches (152 cm × 229 cm) flat sheet for a 36 × 75 inch single mattress. Ideal for a child's room, a guest bed, a hostel bunk or a day-bed.

Single bedsheet size in India — the exact numbers

"Single" means slightly different things in different brands, so here is the standard most Indian makers (Thread Kalaa included) follow:

Element Inches Centimetres
Flat sheet (top) 60 × 90 152 × 229
Fitted sheet 36 × 78 (fits 8-inch depth) 91 × 198

Single vs. Double — the common confusion

A Single sleeps one person; a Double sleeps two. Dimensions change roughly 50% in width:

Size Flat sheet (inches) Mattress Sleeps
Single 60 × 90 36 × 75 1 adult
Double 90 × 100 54 × 75 2 adults (snug)
Queen 100 × 90 72 × 60 2 adults (comfort)
King 108 × 108 78 × 72 2 adults + child

How to measure your mattress

  1. Strip the mattress bare.
  2. Measure LENGTH head-to-foot in inches.
  3. Measure WIDTH side-to-side in inches.
  4. Measure DEPTH top-to-bottom of the mattress edge.
  5. Match against the table above. If depth is >10 inches, step up a size.

Frequently asked questions

Is "Single" the same as "Twin" in India?

Yes. Indian Single = US/UK Twin = 36 × 75 inch mattress. Both terms mean the same bed.

Will a Single flat sheet fit a Double bed?

No. A Double mattress (54 × 75) needs a 90-inch-wide flat sheet. A Single (60 inches wide) will come up short on tuck.

Do Thread Kalaa single bedsheets include a pillow cover?

Yes. Every single bedsheet includes 1 standard 17 × 27 inch pillow cover in the matching print.

Can I use a single bedsheet as a day-bed cover?

Yes. 60 × 90 inches drapes nicely over a 2.5 × 6 ft day-bed with tuck on three sides.
