THE SHAIYAA SIZE DESK · A PRACTICAL BUYING GUIDE
Quick answer: choose a bedsheet by its actual dimensions, not by the words single, queen or king alone. In Shaiyaa’s size chart, product size and usage size are shown separately, so you can compare the finished textile with the area intended to cover the bed. Measure your mattress width, length and height, then use the table below.
Buying a bedsheet should feel like choosing something lovely for the room, not solving a puzzle. Yet “double,” “queen” and “king” can mean different things from one shop to another. A quick size check prevents the familiar disappointment: corners that pull loose, a narrow strip of mattress showing, or so much spare cloth that the sheet gathers under you.
This guide makes the numbers easier to read. It brings Shaiyaa’s product and usage sizes into one place, explains what the two measurements mean, and gives you a simple measuring routine before you order. The numbers below are from the Shaiyaa size information supplied for these products; use them as the product specification, and always compare a particular listing before purchase.

| Medium bed | 70 x 100 in | 66 x 96 in |
| King bed | 90 x 108 in | 86 x 104 in |
| Queen bed | 90 x 100 in | 86 x 96 in |
| Super Double bed | 100 x 108 in | 96 x 104 in |

| Maharaja Double bed | 120 x 120 in | 116 x 116 in |
How to read this table: the first number is one side of the rectangle and the second is the other side, in inches. The product name identifies the Shaiyaa size option. The product size is the full listed textile dimension; usage size is the corresponding cover measurement supplied for use. The usage figure is four inches less in each direction in this chart. Do not treat either row as a mattress measurement.
Why “bed size” and “bedsheet size” are different
A mattress is a three-dimensional object. A bedsheet is a flat textile that has to cover its top and, depending on how you make the bed, travel over the edges. Its required size therefore depends on the mattress top, mattress depth, and the amount of overhang or tuck you prefer. A product label such as “queen bed” is a useful shopping shortcut, but it does not tell you those details by itself.
There is another complication: size names are not used consistently. One seller’s king may not have the same measurements as another seller’s king. Even “double” may refer to different bed widths in different households. That is why the product dimensions are the dependable part of a size listing. Read the numbers first, and use the name as a helpful category.
Shaiyaa’s supplied chart deliberately distinguishes product size from usage size. Those figures should be read as the stated textile measurements for the option, rather than as a promise that every mattress bearing the same name will fit in the same way. The mattress itself still needs to be measured.
How to measure your mattress before choosing a sheet
- Clear the bed. Remove pillows, blankets and any topper that will not normally stay under the bedsheet.
- Measure the sleeping surface. Run a tape across the mattress from left edge to right edge, then from head to foot. Write down width first and length second.
- Measure the mattress height. Include a mattress protector or permanent topper if it will remain on the bed. The height changes how much fabric is needed to fall over the sides.
- Decide how you make the bed. Do you tuck fabric under the mattress, let it fall freely, or use a bed with a deep frame? The preferred drop is part of fit.
- Compare with the product dimensions. Check both dimensions and units on the listing. If the product page gives a usage size too, read its explanation and compare that figure as well.
- Ask when the fit is uncertain. Share your mattress width, length and height with the seller. A clear answer before ordering is easier than trying to make an unsuitable size work.
Measure twice if the mattress is against a wall, built into a platform, or unusually thick. It is easy to mistake the visible top for the full mattress width when part of the edge is hidden. A flexible tape is useful, but a straight tape measure gives a cleaner result when another person can hold the far end.
Which size option should you start with?
Single bedsheet size
The Shaiyaa single option is 60 x 90 inches as a product, with a 56 x 86 inch usage size. It is the smallest option in this chart and is the natural starting point for a single-bed setup. Before buying, check whether the bed is a compact single or a longer mattress, and whether the mattress is deep. The word “single” alone does not include those details.
Medium bedsheet size
The medium option is 70 x 100 inches, with 66 x 96 inches as the usage size. This gives shoppers a distinct choice between single and the wider double-bed options. Measure the bed that will actually use the sheet rather than assuming that medium means a particular standard mattress dimension.
Queen bedsheet size
The queen option is 90 x 100 inches, with a usage size of 86 x 96 inches. If a product elsewhere is labelled “queen,” do not assume it uses the same specification. Compare the listing. A queen mattress can also vary in length or height, particularly where a topper is used.
King bedsheet size
In this Shaiyaa chart, king is 90 x 108 inches as a product and 86 x 104 inches for usage. Many shoppers expect a different king dimension because other brands use other naming conventions. That difference is exactly why checking the listed inches matters. If you have a wide king mattress, confirm the fit with the seller rather than relying on the name.
Super Double, Jumbo Double and Maharaja Double
These options step up in width and/or overall dimensions: Super Double is 100 x 108 inches; Jumbo Double is 108 x 108 inches; Maharaja Double is 120 x 120 inches. Their usage sizes are listed as 96 x 104, 104 x 104 and 116 x 116 inches respectively. These larger formats can be useful for beds that need more coverage, but mattress measurement still decides whether the option gives the fall and tuck you want.
Product size versus usage size: the short version
Think of product size as the dimension attached to the finished item in the catalogue. Usage size is the cover dimension Shaiyaa has supplied for using that option. In this chart, the usage size is four inches shorter in each direction. The table is helpful for comparing options, but it is not a substitute for checking the actual listing or asking what the usage figure represents for a particular textile.
When you compare another brand, look for whether it lists the textile size, mattress size, or both. A listing that says “fits a 6 x 6 bed” may be describing the bed footprint, while a listing that says “108 x 108 inches” describes the fabric. These are not interchangeable numbers. If the listing is unclear, ask for the finished bedsheet measurement in inches before placing an order.
Common bedsheet sizing mistakes
- Shopping by label only. “King” or “queen” is not a universal measurement. Check the inches.
- Using mattress dimensions as fabric dimensions. A sheet has to cover more than the mattress top when you want a drop or tuck.
- Forgetting mattress depth. A thick mattress or topper takes up more fabric along the sides.
- Mixing inches and centimetres. Look for the unit mark before comparing numbers.
- Assuming bigger always fits better. Excess fabric may bunch, drag or hide the bed frame line you want to see.
- Ignoring pillow covers. Check whether pillow covers are included, how many there are and what size they are; do not infer this from the bedsheet size.
A practical fit check using a 6 x 6 bed
“6 x 6 bed” is a helpful phrase for describing a bed’s approximate footprint, but shoppers should still check the mattress itself. Is six feet the mattress width and length, or the outer bed frame? Does a topper sit on it? Is the mattress five inches deep, or more? Those details influence the amount of fabric that hangs over the edge. Record the actual mattress measurement in inches, then compare it with the product and usage sizes above.
For a flat sheet, ask yourself how you want the finished bed to look: neatly tucked with little drop, relaxed with fabric falling on each side, or generously covered over the frame. The correct option is the one that achieves the intended look and remains practical overnight. If a size chart gives no guidance about tuck or drop, send the seller your measurements and ask before ordering.
Before you place the order
Use this quick checklist: confirm the product name; verify the fabric dimensions in inches; compare width and length with your measured mattress; account for mattress height and topper; check pillow-cover quantity and dimensions separately; and save the listing in case you need to compare later. If ordering multiple bedsheets for different rooms, label the measurements by room rather than relying on memory. It takes a minute and can prevent a wrong-size purchase.

Check the finished size of the exact range
The table above is a general catalogue reference. The four-inch difference shown there is not a universal deduction to apply to every product. Published range-specific usable dimensions include Vibrant 93 × 104 inches, Alankar 87 × 104 inches, Samridhi 104 × 106 inches and Real Rajwada 104 × 104 inches. Confirm the current product page before ordering; its finished dimensions take priority over a generic size name.
For deep mattresses, fitted pockets and a worked tuck-in calculation, read the master bedsheet sizing guide. The visual size guide shows a dotted bed outline beneath a transparent sheet so you can compare the coverage.
Frequently asked questions about bedsheet sizes
What is the standard bedsheet size in India?
There is no single universal label used by every brand. Check the actual product dimensions and compare them with your mattress. Shaiyaa’s chart lists a single at 60 x 90 inches, queen at 90 x 100 inches and king at 90 x 108 inches, among other sizes.
What size bedsheet is right for a queen bed?
Shaiyaa’s queen bedsheet product size is 90 x 100 inches and its usage size is 86 x 96 inches. Confirm your mattress width, length and height before buying, because naming conventions differ across brands.
Is a king bedsheet always 108 x 108 inches?
No. Brands use different naming systems. Shaiyaa’s king bedsheet in the supplied size chart is 90 x 108 inches; other sellers may use different dimensions. Compare the numbers, not just the label.
What is the difference between product size and usage size?
Product size is the full finished textile measurement. Usage size is the recommended usable or cover area stated in Shaiyaa’s chart. Check the guide’s notes and your bed setup before ordering.
How do I measure my mattress for a bedsheet?
Measure the mattress from edge to edge across width and length, then measure its height. If you want the sheet to fall over the sides or tuck under, account for that separately and compare with the product’s usage guidance.
Can I use a larger bedsheet on a smaller bed?
Often, but extra fabric can bunch or drag. Consider mattress height, whether you tuck the sheet, and the look you want. A larger size is not automatically a better fit.
Which size should I choose for a non-standard bed?
Measure the mattress and compare the dimensions with the product chart. If no listed size gives the cover and tuck you want, ask the seller about the finished size before purchasing.
Are bedsheet dimensions shown in inches?
The Shaiyaa sizes in this guide are inches. Always check the unit on a product listing; inches and centimetres are easy to confuse.
Size note: dimensions in this guide reproduce the Shaiyaa product-size information provided for these options. Product specifications can change; check the live product listing before ordering.
