Ordering bedsheets online is easy, until the sheet arrives and will not tuck in. Bed and bedsheet sizes in Pakistan are not always labelled the same way from shop to shop, so this guide gives you a clear size chart and a quick way to measure your own bed.
Common mattress sizes in Pakistan
| Bed type | Typical mattress size |
|---|---|
| Single | 36 × 78 in (3 × 6.5 ft) |
| Double / Queen | 60 × 78 in (5 × 6.5 ft) |
| King | 72 × 78 in (6 × 6.5 ft) |
Most Pakistani homes use a double (5 ft) or king (6 ft) bed in the main bedroom.
Bedsheet size chart
| Sheet | Typical size | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Single sheet | 60 × 90 in | Single beds, kids' rooms |
| Double sheet | 80 × 90 in | Double beds with thin mattresses |
| King sheet | 89 × 92 in to 90 × 100 in | Double beds with any mattress; king beds with standard mattresses |
A king bedsheet is the safest choice for most double and king beds, because the extra width tucks neatly under a 6 to 10 inch double mattress and covers a standard king mattress. All Khaash bedsheet sets are king size (89 × 92 in).
Pillow cover sizes
Standard pillows in Pakistan are about 18 × 28 in or 20 × 30 in. Pillow covers of 19 × 29 in fit most standard pillows snugly. If your pillows are extra-thick "hotel" pillows, a 20 × 30 in cover gives a little more room.
How to measure your bed in 2 minutes
- Width: measure across the top of the mattress from side to side.
- Length: measure from the head to the foot of the mattress.
- Depth: measure the mattress height (thickness).
- Add the sides: the sheet needs to be wider than width + (2 × depth), and ideally 8 in more so it tucks under. For a 5 ft double mattress (60 in wide, 8 in deep), that is 60 + 16 = 76 in, so an 89 in king sheet leaves about 6 in to tuck in on each side. For a 6 ft king mattress (72 in wide, 8 in deep), 72 + 16 = 88 in, so an 89 to 90 in sheet covers the sides with little to tuck; add a fitted mattress cover underneath to keep it in place.
Flat sheet or fitted sheet?
Pakistani bedsheet sets are usually flat sheets: one large rectangle that you tuck under the mattress. They fit a wide range of beds and are easy to iron and fold. Fitted sheets with elastic corners are less common and must match your mattress size exactly. If your sheet keeps slipping, a fitted mattress cover underneath gives it more grip.
Frequently asked questions
Will a king size bedsheet fit a double bed?
Yes. A king sheet (around 89 × 92 in) fits a 5 ft double bed with extra fabric to tuck in, which many people prefer for a neater look.
What size is a king bedsheet in Pakistan?
Most king bedsheets sold in Pakistan are between 89 × 92 in and 90 × 100 in. Khaash king sheets are 89 × 92 in.
How many pillow covers come with a bedsheet set?
A standard 3-piece set has 1 bedsheet and 2 pillow covers. Some 6-piece or bridal sets also include cushion covers.
What if my mattress is very thick?
For mattresses over 10 inches deep, choose the largest king sheet available, or use a fitted mattress cover under a flat sheet.
