Bed Size Guide for Bangalore Homes: Standard Bed Sizes (cm, Feet, Inches)

Standard bed sizes in India run from a single of about 91 × 191 cm (3 × 6.25 ft) to a king of about 183 × 198 cm (6 × 6.5 ft), with double and queen in between. In a Bangalore apartment, the size on the mattress label matters less than whether the whole frame fits the room, the door, and the lift. This guide lists the sizes in cm, feet, and inches, shows how to check room fit, and explains when a bed maker can build a size that suits your space.

Key Takeaways

• Standard bed sizes in India are about 91 × 191 cm (single), 137 × 191 cm (double), 152 × 198 cm (queen), and 183 × 198 cm (king). Sizes vary by maker, so confirm the mattress size before you order.
• A queen is about 6 inches wider and 3 inches longer than a double. A king is about 12 inches (31 cm) wider than a queen, with the same length.
• Check room fit, not just the bed: leave about 60 cm on each side you use and about 45 cm at the foot, and allow for wardrobe doors and door swings.
• Check doors, lifts, corridors and staircases before you order. Room dimensions alone do not confirm that a bed will go in.
• Mattress size, outer frame size, and bed height are three different measurements. Storage (hydraulic, box, or drawer) changes the height and the space the bed needs to open.
• If standard sizes do not fit, AAF builds beds to order, typically in 4–6 weeks from design approval. Share your room dimensions, mattress size, and a reference photo.

Standard Bed Sizes in India: cm, Feet and Inches

Indian bed sizes follow market conventions rather than one legal standard, so a queen from one maker can differ from another's by a few centimetres. Use the table as a reference. Because AAF builds beds to order, these are starting points, not limits, and a bed can be made to suit your mattress and room. Confirm the exact mattress size before you order.

Two points trip buyers up. These are mattress sizes, and the frame around them is larger (see the frame section below). Imported conventions also differ: a US queen is 60 × 80 in and a US king is 76 × 80 in, so a mattress or sheet set sized for the US may not suit an Indian frame.

King Size Bed Dimensions in Feet and cm

A king size cot measures about 183 × 198 cm (72 × 78 in), which is roughly 6 × 6.5 ft. Buyers often call it a '6 by 6' bed, but the second number may be 6 or 6.5 ft depending on who is quoting. Always ask for both measurements in cm.

A king suits couples who want more room, or families where a child sometimes shares the bed. Each sleeper gets about 91 cm of width, compared with about 76 cm on a queen. The cost is floor space: the bed itself is wide, and it also needs usable room on each side.

A quick check is to subtract the bed's width from the room's width. In a room 10 ft wide, a 6 ft king leaves 4 ft in total for both sides, before bedside tables, a wardrobe door, or a window swing take their share. Frame design also changes how much extra width the bed takes, so compare wooden beds in Bangalore by their outer measurements, not only the mattress size.

Queen Size Bed Dimensions in India

The standard queen size bed dimensions in feet are about 5 × 6.5 ft (152 × 198 cm, or 60 × 78 in). Many buyers search for the 'queen cot size in feet' because 'cot' is still the everyday word for a bed in many homes. Each sleeper gets about 76 cm of width, which is comfortable for most couples.

A queen often works when the room also has to hold a wardrobe and bedside tables. As an illustration, in a 10 × 10 ft room, a queen with its head against one wall leaves about 5 ft across the width and about 3.5 ft at the foot. Whether that feels comfortable depends on the wardrobe, door, and window positions, so treat the numbers as a starting point, not a rule.

King vs Queen vs Double: What Actually Changes?

A king is about 12 inches (31 cm) wider than a queen, and a queen is about 6 inches (15 cm) wider and 3 inches (8 cm) longer than a double. In feet, a king is 6 × 6.5 and a queen is 5 × 6.5, so they share a length and differ by a foot in width.

The next size up is not always practical. If a larger bed leaves a narrow gap beside a wardrobe or blocks a door, going one size down and using the saved floor for storage or easier wardrobe access is usually the better trade. When you are ready to compare options built to your measurements, see AAF's made-to-order beds.

Single and Kids' Bed Sizes

Single bed dimensions in India are commonly about 91 × 191 cm (36 × 75 in), and the single bed mattress size in India is usually quoted the same way, though 36 × 72 in and other lengths exist. A single suits children, guest rooms and compact rooms where every foot of floor counts.

For growing children, a longer mattress gives more years of use. If you are considering a bunk bed, check the ceiling height, the ceiling fan position, and the gap above the upper mattress before you decide. Kids bunk beds in Bangalore can be made to your room height, so share the ceiling height when you enquire.

Which Bed Size Fits Your Bangalore Bedroom?

Room size rarely arrives as one number. A bed that fits on paper can still block a wardrobe door. Use the table as a starting point and then check the details below.

Walking space, wardrobes and bedside furniture

A commonly cited planning guide is about 60 cm (24 in) on each side you use and about 45 cm (18 in) at the foot. Hinged wardrobe doors need more room than sliding ones, and the bed should not block a door or a window that opens inward.

If you are checking master bedroom dimensions for a king-size bed, measure the actual floor available after the wardrobe and bedside tables, not just the wall-to-wall size. In a 2BHK where the master bedroom also carries a wardrobe, a queen can leave more usable floor. A king makes sense when both sides of the bed stay fully usable. The same logic applies to king-size bedroom dimensions in a larger home: more floor is only useful if it stays clear.

Check doors, lifts, corridors and staircases before you order

Room dimensions alone do not confirm that a bed will arrive and go in. Before you finalise a design:

• Measure the width and height of the main door, the bedroom door and any corridor turns.
• Measure the lift's interior and its door opening, and check the staircase landing if there is no lift.
• Ask whether the bed arrives in parts or assembled, and measure the longest and widest piece.
• Allow for headboard height against windows, wall lights and switches.

For a similar measuring approach on another piece of furniture, see our sofa dimensions guide.

Bed Frame Size, Mattress Size and Bed Height

Four measurements matter, and they are not the same:

• Mattress size: the mattress size.
• Inner support size: the platform that holds the mattress.
• Outer frame size: the full footprint, including side rails, headboard and footboard.
• Overall height: frame height plus mattress thickness.

The outer frame is larger than the mattress, and how much larger depends on the design. Ask for the outer size in cm before you decide on a layout.

Storage changes the picture. A hydraulic base lifts the whole platform and needs room to open. Box storage uses lift-up panels, and drawer designs need floor space to pull out. Each can add to the frame's height. See our guide to hydraulic bed vs box storage bed to compare how each opens. If you want a bed with storage in Bangalore built around your room, share your measurements.

Bed height in mm is worth asking for. It affects how easy it is to sit and stand, and whether the bed clashes with a low windowsill or wall light. There is no single standard height, so ask for the overall figure with your mattress thickness included.

When Standard Sizes Do Not Fit: Custom Bed Sizes

Standard sizes work for most rooms. A custom size is worth discussing when:

• You have a mattress that is not a standard size.
• The room has an alcove, a sloping wall or a position that suits a different footprint.
• You want a bigger sleeping surface than a king gives.
• You want the bed, storage and bedside furniture planned together.

Super king size bed dimensions are a good example. A super king is often quoted at about 78 × 80 in (198 × 203 cm), or roughly 6.5 × 6.7 ft, but the size varies between makers. Confirm where the mattress will come from, and its exact size, before the frame is built.

AAF All About Furniture makes beds to order in Bangalore, so the frame can be planned around your room and mattress. If you are looking for custom bed makers in Bangalore, here is how an enquiry usually works:

1. Measure the room.
2. Confirm your mattress dimensions.
3. Share the bed footprint and storage you want.
4. Send a reference photo if you have one.
5. Discuss feasibility and the design with AAF before confirming the order.

AAF builds custom beds in its HSR Layout workshop, so a bed can be planned around your room and mattress. Not sure which wood to choose? Compare sheesham wood vs acacia wood.

Custom beds typically take 4–6 weeks from design approval. If you are planning around a festive date or a family visit, start the conversation early and share your deadline when you enquire, so AAF can tell you whether it is realistic.

How to Measure Your Room and Bed Before Ordering

1. Measure the room's length and width.
2. Measure the area where the bed will go.
3. Check the mattress dimensions on its label or with a tape.
4. Account for the outer frame footprint, not just the mattress.
5. Mark the bed's position on the floor with tape.
6. Check door swings, wardrobes, windows, and walking routes.
7. Check access through lifts, stairs and doorways.
8. Decide on storage, then confirm the final design with the furniture maker.

Planning Your Bed Size

The right bed is the one that fits your mattress, your room, your doorways and your storage needs together. A few minutes with a tape measure now can save a long, expensive correction later.

If you want a bed built to your measurements, send AAF your room dimensions, your mattress size, the bed size you prefer, and a reference image if you have one, then explore the beds. If you have a festive deadline, enquire early.
