Double Bed Sheet Size Guide: Is a 90 x 100 Inch Bedsheet Right for Your Bed?

Ordering a bedsheet online is easy – until it arrives and does not fit your bed. Bedsheet sizes in India are not always labelled the same way, so terms like “double”, “queen” and “king” can be confusing. This double bed sheet size guide explains how to measure your mattress and check whether a 90 x 100 inch bedsheet is right for you.

90 x 100 inches in cm and feet

Every bedsheet at Echocraft India is 90 x 100 inches and comes with 2 matching pillow covers.

How to measure your mattress (3 steps)

1. Width – measure from the left edge to the right edge of the mattress.
2. Length – measure from the head end to the foot end.
3. Height (depth) – measure how thick the mattress is. Many Indian mattresses are between 5 and 8 inches thick, but yours may differ.

A simple formula to check the fit

A flat bedsheet should cover the top of the mattress, drop down both sides and still leave some fabric to tuck in. Use this formula:

Sheet width needed = mattress width + 2 × (mattress height + tuck-in)

For example, for a mattress that is 60 inches wide and 6 inches high with a 4-inch tuck on each side: 60 + 2 × (6 + 4) = 80 inches. A 90-inch wide bedsheet covers this comfortably.

Will a 90 x 100 bedsheet fit a queen or king bed?

Mattress sizes vary by brand, so always use your own measurements. As a rough guide, here is how much extra fabric a 90 x 100 inch sheet leaves on each side for some common mattress widths:

Along the length, 100 inches leaves roughly 11–12 inches extra at each end on a 75–78 inch long mattress.

Tips for a neat-looking bed

• Centre the sheet first, then tuck the foot end before the sides.
• Use “hospital corners” – fold the corner fabric at a 45° angle before tucking – for a crisp finish.
• Iron the sheet lightly, or smooth it by hand while it is slightly damp after washing.

Frequently asked questions

What is the standard double bed sheet size in India?

There is no single standard, but 90 x 100 inches is a widely used size for double bedsheets in India. Always compare it with your own mattress measurements.

Is a flat bedsheet the same as a fitted sheet?

No. A flat sheet is tucked in by hand, while a fitted sheet has elastic corners that hold it on the mattress. The size formula above is for flat bedsheets.

How many pillow covers come with the bedsheet?

Each Echocraft India set includes 2 matching pillow covers.
