Pillow Sizes in India (2026): Standard, King & Cushion Size Chart

Pillow sizes in India are not as standardised as bed sizes, so covers and pillows often come from different makers and do not match. This guide gives you the common sizes, how many pillows fit each bed, and how to make sure your pillow covers actually fit.

Common pillow sizes in India

PillowTypical size (inches)Best for
Standard bed pillow17 x 27The most common size; fits most beds and covers
King bed pillow20 x 36King beds; a long bolster-style sleeping pillow
Square cushion16 x 16 / 18 x 18Decorative cushions for beds and sofas
Bolster16 x 30 (round)Traditional side support and styling

Sizes vary by 1–2 inches between brands. Buy the pillow and its cover together where possible, or measure your existing pillow flat before ordering covers.

Match pillows to your bedsheet set

Many bedsheet sets already include matching pillow covers, so start there and buy inserts to fit. If you are unsure of your bed size in the first place, our bedsheet size guide walks through single, double, queen and king dimensions used in India.
