Mattress Sizes for Builders and Developers in India
Common Indian sizes include single, double, queen and king, with variations by brand. Fix sizes early and confirm bed frame dimensions.
Key points
- Common sizes. Single about 36 by 75 in, double about 48 by 75 in, queen about 60 by 78 in and king about 72 by 78 in; some brands differ.
- Check frames. Built-in beds need a custom size. Measure the platform.
- Size planning table. Create a table with each unit type, bed type, intended mattress size, frame inner dimensions and quantity.
- Built-in bed note. Measure the actual platform, not the drawing.
- Why sizes cause disputes. Indian brands use slightly different dimensions for the same named size.

List sizes per unit type and quantity.
Size planning table
Create a table with each unit type, bed type, intended mattress size, frame inner dimensions and quantity. Check built-in beds against the actual platform. Fixing sizes before orders prevents costly mismatches at handover.
Size schedule
| Unit type | Frame inner size | Mattress size | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | State mm | State | State |
| 1 bedroom | State mm | State | State |
| 2 bedroom | State mm | State | State |
Built-in bed note
Measure the actual platform, not the drawing. Platforms built on site often differ by a few centimetres from plans.
Why sizes cause disputes
Indian brands use slightly different dimensions for the same named size. Always give millimetre dimensions in the order. Check built-in beds on site, because platforms vary from the drawings.
Detailed guidance
Sizes differ slightly between brands, even when they share a name, so specify millimetre dimensions. Measure built-in platforms on site, because they often differ from drawings. Build a size schedule by unit type with the frame dimensions, the mattress size and the quantity, and have the site team confirm it.
Consider standardising on a few sizes to simplify procurement and replacement. For odd shapes, order templates and a pilot piece. Check that doors, lifts and stairs allow delivery of the mattress, especially if it is not compressed. Keep the size schedule with the contract, since it is the basis for any dispute about fit.
Worked example (illustrative figures)
A building has platforms that drawings show at 1500 mm wide, but several measure 1480 mm on site. A mattress made to 1500 mm would not fit. A size schedule built from site measurements gives each flat the correct width.
