You might think selecting a bedsheet would be the easiest thing on your bedroom to-do list, but if it doesn’t fit properly, it can look sloppy, feel uncomfortable and even shorten the life of the sheet. At Arjan Jodha we feel size matters as much as the print, fabric or colour. Below is your complete guide to finding the perfect size bedsheet that will fit your bed properly and complement your decor.
Why Size Matters
When you glance at our range of luxury cotton bedsheets, you’ll see choices marked “Double”, “Queen/King Size” etc.
Choose the wrong size and you might have issues like:
- The loose sheet or gatherings of the corners
- Pillow covers that are not the same size as your pillows
- If your mattress pulls on fabric and wears that out faster if stretched
The asymmetry in the appearance if the sheet does not proportionally cover your mattress
By selecting the right size from the beginning you can:
1) enjoy a snug and comfortable fit
2) experience comfortable, tranquil sleep throughout the night and
3) dress your bed in fantasy finery that is more exactly tailored to suit your comforter.
Step 1: Determine Your Size Of Mattress
Before you choose the size of your bedsheet, measure your mattress. India In India, common mattress sizes are Single, Double, Queen and King.
For instance, on Arjan Jodha you’ll find: King Size - 100 × 108 inches for one of the products.
Good to jot down: width, length, and if your mattress has a topper or extra height (which may require deeper sheet).
Then there’s a handy mattress‐size guide, but please note it’s approximate:
Single – Great for one person or children.
Fits two, small Queen Stereo.
Queen – More ample, larger spaces.
King – The biggest off-the-shelf, plenty of room.
When you know the size of your mattress, you can select a bedsheet set that is labeled for that size (or just a little larger if you want generous overhang).
Step 2: Choose the Bed Sheet Size That Fits
On the website of Arjan Jodha, they have mentioned sizes (Double Bed Sheet, Queen/King Size etc).
Here’s how to match your mattress size with sheet size:
- If you are using a Double bed: Please select “Double Bed Sheet” set (it comes with one sheet + two pillow covers).
- For Queen/King Size mattresses: Look for items that are specified “Queen/King” or “Queen/King Size” so you won’t have to return them for being too small.
- If your mattress is “extra deep” or with a thick topper: Look for dimensions (Arjan Jodha, for example has 100 × 108 inches for King size) and go up in size to get extra overhang.
- If the sheet is too big: you end up with a lot of loose fabric; too small and it may not cover fully or tuck in well.
Tip: There will be a Dimensions field under each product at Arjan Jodha, check it out (width × length for King size) when you shop.
Step 3: Factor in the Extra “Drop” or Overhang
“It’s about matching mattress top, but it’s also about drop (how far the sheet hangs over the sides),” she added.
If you prefer looking tidy and tucked in: Opt for the size that just covers, with little-to-no overhang.
For a more plush, draped look: A little bit of extra fabric makes a canopy surrounding the bed.
For beds against the wall or in a tight room: Don’t make the drop so deep that it will collect dust -or limit your ability to walk.
Because Arjan Jodha designs bedsheets with quality fabrics and heritage prints, you’ll want the size to showcase the design — not obscure it or stretch it uncomfortably.
Step 4: Pair the Sheet Size with Pillow Covers & Accessories
And when you choose a sheet set at Arjan Jodha, many items come with pillow covers.
Example : “1 Bedsheet + 2 Pillow Cover” on the Double Bed Sheet size.
Make sure you have the right (standard, king pillow size) so your bed accessories look uniform in size.
Although if you have decorative pillows or a bed runner make sure they are matched up to the size of the sheets, such as king-size pillows and wider cushion.
Step 5: Size Fit and Impact of Material & Printing
At Arjan Jodha you will see many bedsheets that are 100% cotton and hand-block printed, about 200 TC.
But why does fabric and clothing matter when it comes to sizing?
Cotton.” — Emily Cotton shrinks somewhat after initial wash — which is why sheet manufacturers intentionally oversize slightly or give care instructions.
Hand-block prints might demonstrate design better when covering fully and hanging properly — so correct size can elevate the visual impact of a design.
If the material is thick (like a heavy-weave cotton), the drop might appear shorter — so purchasing the correct size will help to keep that appearance.

Step 6: Care Tips!
After picking the right-size sheet, caring for it will keep fit, appearance and durability:
Follow instructions: eg. “Machine wash cold, do not bleach, dry in shade, warm iron” found on some Arjan Jodha items.
Wash delicately the first time this can minimize initial shrinkage and help the structure of the fabric.
Tuck sheets firmly under the mattress — this will prevent corners from being loose and stretched, or worn.
Flip the sheet every couple of weeks so wear is equally distributed over its surface.
If you see the sheet loosening around the corners, think about moving to a size one rung up (like Double to Queen) or deep pocket sheets if your mattress is quite thick.
Step 7: Visually & DecorativelyGetting It Fancy.
Remember: the size you decide on also influences how your bed ends up looking in the room.
The “drop” hanging off the sides should hang evenly and have just enough of a hump of overhanging dough to give each scone even symmetry.
Oversized sheets can get bunched up or detract from other pretty touches, like pillows or duvets.
Print size matters too—for example, a large-scale hand-block looks better when the sheet size gives it enough “canvas” for the design.
At Arjan Jodha, many of the designs are heritage block prints — a close-fitting sheet makes these patterns pop.
