How to Choose the Right Bed Sheet Size for Your Mattress

How many times have you bought a beautiful bed sheet, only to realize later that it doesn’t fit your mattress? Maybe it was too tight and kept pulling off the corners. Or maybe it was so large that it looked messy and wrinkled.

Choosing the right bed sheet size is just as important as selecting the design or material. A poorly sized bed sheet can disrupt your sleep, ruin the look of your room, and make daily bed-making a frustrating chore.

That’s why this guide from KhanTex is designed to help Pakistani shoppers choose the perfect bed sheet size based on mattress dimensions. Whether you have a single, queen, king, or custom-sized bed, this detailed guide will ensure your bedding fits like a glove.

Why Size Matters in Bed Sheets

Before we dive into dimensions, let’s understand why getting the right size matters:

• ✨ Better Aesthetics: A well-fitted sheet creates a neat, tailored look for your bed.

• 😴 Comfort & Sleep: Loose sheets can wrinkle and bunch up, disrupting your rest.

• ⏱️ Ease of Use: Sheets that fit properly are easier to spread, tuck, and maintain.

• 💧 Longevity: Overstretching a smaller sheet causes quicker wear and tear.

If you want your bedroom to look elegant and your bed to feel like a hotel experience, sheet size is the first step.

Standard Mattress Sizes in Pakistan

Before buying any bed sheet, you need to know your mattress size. Most Pakistani mattresses fall into the following standard categories:

📝 Pro Tip: Always measure your mattress if you're unsure. A measuring tape can save you from wasted purchases.

What Makes a Bed Sheet "Fit" Properly?

When people say “king-size bed sheet” or “queen sheet,” they often forget there are two pieces that must match properly:

1. The Fitted/Flat Sheet – this covers the mattress.

2. The Pillow Covers – typically included in a set.

3. (Optional) A bed cover or top sheet, which may be slightly larger.

You want the bed sheet to:

• Cover the mattress from edge to edge

• Have extra inches to tuck under the sides

• Remain smooth and firm when laid out

Standard KhanTex Bed Sheet Sizes

At KhanTex, we follow popular Pakistani mattress standards and offer sheet sets accordingly:

All sizes are made with tucking margins, meaning the sheets are larger than the mattress to allow easy tucking.

How to Choose the Right Size for Your Bed

Let’s go step-by-step based on the mattress you have at home:

🛏️ For Single Beds (Student Rooms, Guest Beds)

If your mattress is 3ft wide (36 inches), then the single-size bed sheet is your best pick. This usually comes with one pillow cover.

📌 Check for:

• Sheet width at least 60 inches

• Length of 90–96 inches

• Fabric that washes easily (kids use these often)

✅ Recommended KhanTex Collections:

• Printed Cotton Single Sets

• Blended Budget Single Sheets

• Kids’ Themed Bedding (if for children)

🛏️🛏️ For Queen Beds (Compact Double Beds)

Queen beds are common in Pakistani apartments, upper portions, or smaller master bedrooms. These mattresses are usually 5ft wide, and the ideal sheet size is 90” x 100” or slightly bigger.

📌 Check for:

• Minimum width of 90 inches

• Good length for tucking in all sides

• Fabric breathability, especially if two people share the bed

✅ Recommended KhanTex Options:

• 100% Cotton Queen Sheets

• Summer Printed Queen Sets

• Lightweight Queen-Size Embroidered Sets

👑 For King Beds (Master Bedrooms)

This is Pakistan’s most popular bed size in newly built homes. A typical king mattress measures 6 feet wide. You should get a bed sheet with a minimum width of 100 inches and a length of at least 108 inches.

📌 Check for:

• Extra margins to tuck in sheet on all sides

• Large pillow covers (king beds usually have larger pillows)

• Fabric strength – master beds are used every night

✅ Best KhanTex Picks:

• Premium King Size Embroidered Sets

• Cotton-Poly Blended King Size Sheets

• Festive/Wedding Bed Sheet Sets

👑🔝 For Super King or Oversized Beds

Some modern homes and high-end furniture brands offer custom or oversized beds—often larger than 6.5ft. For these, you need custom or oversized sheets like KhanTex’s Super King collection.

📌 Check for:

• Width above 106 inches

• Length over 110 inches

• Heavier, wrinkle-resistant fabric (less shifting)

✅ Luxury Picks from KhanTex:

• Royal Super King Embroidered Sheets

• Bridal Bedding with Matching Bed Covers

• Winter-Ready Khaddar Super King Sets

Bonus: Understanding Fitted vs Flat Bed Sheets

In Pakistan, most bed sheets are flat sheets (rectangular and tucked under manually). But in some urban homes or imported mattresses, you might use fitted sheets.

✅ Flat Sheet

• Easy to fold and iron

• Can fit on multiple bed sizes

• Most Pakistani homes prefer this style

✅ Fitted Sheet

• Elastic edges grip the mattress tightly

• Must match mattress depth exactly

• Rarely available in local stores (but KhanTex is working on it!)

If you want fitted sheets, measure the mattress thickness along with the width and length.

FAQs – What Customers Often Ask

❓ “What if I have a thick mattress or mattress topper?”

Add 2–4 inches extra in both length and width when buying your sheet.

❓ “Can a queen-size sheet fit a king bed?”

It will look short and messy. Avoid it unless it’s an emergency.

❓ “How do I measure my bed if I don’t know the size?”
