Every housewife pays special attention to the choice of bedding. A good night's sleep is vital, and it's most comfortable to rest under a good quality blanket when it's cool in the summer and warm in the winter. Choosing a suitable sleeping set is not difficult; you just need to take into account the wishes of your loved ones and your own preferences. The modern textile industry offers such a wide range that it is easy to get confused, but if you approach the purchase with information that is already known in advance, such as the size of bed linen, it will be much easier to decide.
How to choose a duvet cover?
Buying a duvet cover is a topic that requires attention and consideration of some nuances.
If you understand how wide the size range of double blankets is, the seller’s words “double”, “will fit” will not say anything. The choice is made, if possible, with a small supply of material for shrinkage (after washing); you need to take into account the specific dimensions of the existing blanket (especially the length). When purchasing, it is important to pay attention to the composition of the material. It’s good if it’s natural textiles with plain weave threads: their shrinkage is more uniform
Twill weave is diagonal. When the duvet cover threads shrink, the fabric may become skewed. In other words, chintz shrinks more, its structure is looser than that of satin or calico. Calico is denser, such a duvet cover is heavier, but more tensile, therefore it has a significant service life.
Synthetics are also undesirable: they have many positive qualities, but they can be allergenic, often do not absorb moisture well and do not allow air to pass through.
Peculiarities
Thanks to advances in the textile industry, there are many options for blankets. Features of bed linen include size, type of filler, and level of heat.
Size
The dimensions of single blankets vary depending on the age category. They produce blankets for children, teenagers and adults in blanket models. The size of a textile item is an important parameter on which convenience and comfort will depend.
Filler
Before the advent of synthetics, blankets were filled exclusively with natural raw materials. This had a negative impact on people who had allergies. Modern industry allows you to choose underwear based on personal needs.
There are several types of fillers.
- Down and feather. This filler retains heat and allows air to pass through well. The soft, light texture makes it pleasant to the touch. A higher percentage of down increases softness and airiness. The feather makes the filler heavier, making it more elastic. Blankets with soft filling should not be washed frequently.
- Wool. This material has high thermal insulation properties. Wool absorbs moisture while remaining dry to the touch. Some blankets with wool filling can be washed in a washing machine. Others require careful manual care.
- Polyester. Synthetic filler, similar in properties to down. Thanks to its excellent thermal insulation properties, a comfortable microclimate in the bed is maintained. Blankets with polyester filling are ideal for allergy sufferers. This material has hypoallergenic properties, and synthetic bedding can be washed frequently at a temperature of 60 degrees. After this treatment, dust mites die, which reduces the risk of an allergic reaction.
- Bamboo fiber. This material ensures rapid evaporation of moisture. Most often, bamboo is added to polyester in a 50/50 ratio.
Heat level
Some people just can’t stay warm under a thick blanket, while others feel hot under a thin one. That is why modern textiles are divided according to their heat level. This allows you to create the most comfortable sleeping conditions.
Blankets are divided into categories.
- Cool. Designed specifically for people who feel hot under a standard blanket. Lyocell fibers contained in the filler increase breathability and moisture absorption. An unusual solution in the form of wax-impregnated viscose fibers allows you to maintain the level of body heat at the same level. When the body temperature rises, these fibers “absorb” heat; when the heat level decreases, they release it.
- Lungs. This blanket has a thin layer of filling. That is why this option is perfect for people who experience discomfort under warmer textiles.
- Warm. These models have a thick layer of filler. This option will be invaluable if the room is cool.
- Very warm. The blankets are made specifically for those who are constantly cold. This option is also suitable for poorly heated rooms. The maximum layer of filler will help create comfort for a full, healthy sleep.
Standard sizes of duvet covers, table
You can see all the current sizes of duvet covers (standard), which are available in the table below:
Dimension | Length and width (cm) | |
Children's | For newborns, children up to 1 year | 90x120, 100x120 |
From 1 to 6 years | from 110x140 to 140x140 | |
Schoolchildren, teenagers | lorry fits | |
Double/single | from 140x200 to 173x215 | |
Double | from 175x210 to 180x220 | |
Euro | from 200x200 to 217x240 cm | |
Euro-maxi | from 220x240 to 240x240 | |
Family or duet – 2 duvet covers | from 140x200 to 173x215 (each) |
Children's
The quality of a child’s rest directly affects his mental and physical well-being
In order for the awakened child to joyfully greet the new day, it is important to properly arrange a place to sleep and choose the right bedding. Many sets are sold together, which makes the choice much easier for many mothers
For newborns and babies up to 1 year in a crib: 87x117, 90x120, 102x120. Depending on the individual characteristics of the child, the size of the blanket cover may vary up or down. But you need to carefully ensure that the bed linen is not too loose and the blanket does not “dangle”, otherwise the child may get tangled in the fabric. The dimensions of a children's duvet cover for a child from 1 to 6 years old are: 110x140, 110x145, 112x147. The indicators are typical for a regular rectangular blanket. But there are also square ones (for example, 140x140 cm). The market offers a wide selection of both blankets and duvet covers, so parents can find the most suitable set for their child. One-and-a-half models are suitable for schoolchildren and teenagers, for example, 140 by 200 or 145 by 210 cm. In adolescence, children grow unpredictably: some grow tall, others are in no hurry
Therefore, when buying a set of bed linen, it is important to take into account the size of the blanket, bed and the height of the child.
Single duvet cover size
Among manufacturers, the concept of “single” does not exist. This name has caught on exclusively among consumers, while a 1-bed duvet cover completely matches the parameters of a one-and-a-half duvet cover (see below), both in length and width.
Size of one-and-a-half duvet cover
There are a large number of options from 140x200 to 173x215 cm. Thanks to this, you can choose a duvet cover for any model of a 1.5-sleeping blanket. The most popular are: 140x200, 143x215, 145x210, 145x215, 147x215, 147x217, 150x200, 150x210, 150x215, 152x222, 160x200, 160x210, 160x220 , 172x205, 173x215 centimeters.
Double duvet cover
Suitable for double quilt. Length and width from 175x210 to 180x220 centimeters. A modern 2-bedroom standard assumes the following sizes: 175x210, 175x215, 175x217, 177x215, 180x200, 180x210, 180x215, 180x220 cm
Duvet cover size Euro
One of the most popular is the Euro size. Includes products from 200x220 to 217x240 centimeters. Suitable for wide family beds with Euro duvet. All sizes: 200x200, 200x215, 200x217, 200x210, 200x220, 205x215, 205x220, 215x220, 217x240 cm
Euro maxi (King size)
This option is also called royal. The dimensions of wide maxi beds exceed standard ones, which creates additional comfort for a restful sleep. The king-size duvet cover is correspondingly larger than all those presented above: 220x240, 220x245, 240x240 centimeters.
Family size, or Duet
Family models go on sale with two one-and-a-half duvet covers. This option is intended for married couples who prefer to cover themselves with different blankets. The size of each duvet cover in a family bedding set is exactly the same as that of a single bed: width from 140 to 173, length from 200 to 215 centimeters.
Reference
: The first mentions of duvet covers date back to the first half of the twentieth century. At that time, only rich people could purchase it, because they were made from expensive materials: cambric, damask, natural silk. However, now this item has become firmly established in household use and is available to people with different income levels.
Family Bedding Sizes
Have you already been interested in the range of sleeping sets, then maybe you’ve heard the term “duet”? This is the more famous family set, often called maxi (from the word maximum equipment). It is completed with the following elements:
- 2 “one and a half” duvet covers, each of which is 150x210.
- One large sheet 220x240.
- 2 or 4 pillowcases: square 50x70, rectangular 70x70.
It is intended for a bed up to 180 cm, and is considered an ideal choice for married couples, since the dimensions of the products will satisfy everyone’s desire to wrap themselves in their own blanket. The above indicators are for Russian home textiles, but as already noted, the products of foreign countries are different. So, for example, family bed linen from Turkish manufacturers is larger: duvet covers are 160x220, while Austrian ones are more compact - 150x205.
Popular models
Despite the wide variety of options, most often buyers prefer one and a half sizes. It attracts both single people and married couples, especially those in which each partner likes to sleep under a personal blanket. Special bedding sets called family sets are also available for sale. They just include two duvet covers measuring 1.5 m.
You can also think about buying a lorry and a half for children, especially if children’s sets are already becoming too small for them. Manufacturers for such buyers can offer special teenage sets that include a duvet cover of appropriate sizes. If we consider the modern assortment of bed linen, it turns out that it is the one-and-a-half models that are presented today in the largest number of options.
Not everyone knows that even the category of one-and-a-half blankets has its own classification. This allows each customer to choose the size of blanket that suits their needs. And you should not neglect this point, because the level of comfort during rest and sleep depends on it.
Children's mattress size chart
Standard sizes | Length cm. | Width cm. |
In a pram or cradle for newborns | 80-95 | 40-50 |
In a crib for newborns | 120-140 | 60-70 |
In a cot for children from 3 years old | 140-190 | 70-80 |
In a crib for teenagers | 190-200 | 80-120 |
Before purchasing, you should accurately determine its size. To do this, you need to correctly determine the internal size of the bed by measuring the length and width along the side. You should not rely on standard sizes, because they can fluctuate quite a lot, and a deviation of 5-10 cm will make the mattress unusable.
Mattress for a stroller or cradle for newborns
The smallest mattress in a person’s life is a product for a baby stroller or cradle. Its standard dimensions can range from 40x80 cm to 50x95 cm. Such models are not endowed with anatomical qualities, but perform the function of providing a newborn with a flat and hard surface.
At the same time, it becomes a buffer, smoothing out unevenness on the bottom of the stroller. Their dimensions must strictly correspond to the inner surface of the stroller or cradle, because even minor deviations will lead to noticeable discomfort for the baby.
Mattress for a crib for newborns
In most cases, parents prefer to buy a crib rather than a cradle for their newborns. Unlike a cradle, which can be used for no more than 1-1.5 years, it is already used until the child reaches 3 years of age.
If you buy a crib, you will also need to buy a mattress for it, the size of which will be 60x120–70x140 cm. It will also become a low, breathing space between the bottom of the bed and the baby’s body, while maintaining sufficient rigidity of the sleeping place.
Crib mattress for children over 3 years old
At the age of 3–4 years, the child will feel cramped in his first crib. Therefore, parents will have to purchase a larger bed. In order to save money, children can immediately purchase a large single or one-and-a-half bed.
However, for the developing skeleton, this option is not entirely correct, since the requirements for rigidity will change twice more. A better solution would be to purchase a bed and mattress ranging in size from 70x140 to 80–190 cm.
At the age of 4–5 years, children still require a certain rigidity during sleep. At the same time, they become quite active, starting to jump and run everywhere, including on the bed. Expensive orthopedic models may not be able to withstand such a load, so for children aged 5–10 years it is better to purchase high-quality spring options.
Bed mattress for teenagers
Adolescence is a time of active growth and final formation of the spine. Many teenagers manage to grow to the size of an adult, or grow at a significant rate. Changing their sleeping place will no longer be a desire, but an urgent necessity.
The size of mattresses in a bed for teenagers will be determined not only by height indicators, but also by capabilities, since a bed for them can already be purchased, either a single or a one-and-a-half-bed. The width of standard sizes will be 80–120 cm, and the length – 190–200 cm. The preferred type will be orthopedic. He will no longer suffer from children's pranks and will be able to fully perform his function.
Height of mattresses for children
Height for children's beds is also a significant criterion. It is determined both by the requirements for rigidity and the internal filling of the mattress. In some cases, the height is determined by the inner side of the bed; in order to avoid injury, it must rise above it by at least 5 cm.
In turn, there are age restrictions on height. Thus, the parameter of mattresses for children under 3 years of age should be from 6 to 10 cm, the height of spring mattresses for younger schoolchildren is 10–20 cm, the height of orthopedic mattresses for teenagers is 14–20 cm. In this case, some excess of the parameters for spring mattresses is allowed and orthopedic models. Thinner ones can be used as mattress covers or bedspreads for sofas.
How to choose the right size?
A few simple tips:
- Before you go to the store to buy a blanket, you first need to find out the size of the bed and duvet cover. It will be very disappointing if, after spending time and money on a huge blanket, it turns out to be too big for the cover. Of course, there can be no talk of any comfort in this case. A married couple should consider purchasing a family or euro set and a matching duvet cover and pillowcase.
- In the first years of this century, a special GOST was issued that regulated the sizes of bed accessories. In particular, they were classified into European, children's, single and other types, which are described in the previous sections of this article. The buyer should take note that the sizes indicated on the packaging are presented in two types: European (indicated in letters) and Russian (indicated in centimeters).
You should definitely pay attention to what exactly a blanket is filled with.
The weight of a blanket directly depends on its dimensions and what it is filled with. It doesn't matter what kind of padding a buyer might like. What's more important is that the blanket maintains the temperature of the sleeping person's body. Bamboo and eucalyptus fibers are universal fillers that can warm in cold winters and cool in hot summers.
But there are many people who, out of habit, buy two sets - for winter and summer.
Having knowledge of what size standards for blankets have, choosing the right bedding will not be difficult.
If you have any doubts about what material the blanket is made of, you should carefully study the label. There, as a rule, everything related to this model is described in detail: dimensions, composition, manufacturer, care instructions.
However, if the consumer is not sure how to properly wash this or that linen, a paid dry cleaner is always ready to provide this service. Or you should buy a synthetic blanket, which can be washed very rarely, at least once a year (preferably in a gentle mode, so as not to accidentally damage the product).
It is worth mentioning the peculiarities of choosing children's and family specimens. When purchasing a model for a crib, it is recommended to take into account that babies have a habit of throwing off the blanket. It’s worth taking a copy “with reserve” for tucking a blanket under the mattress. Samples with Velcro and laces will also work.
And if the buyer purchases a one-and-a-half blanket, he can easily add “family sets” to it. They imply the presence of a pair of duvet covers and wide sheets.
Sizes 1.5 sleeping bedding
As always, there is no definite answer, and when choosing, you will have to carefully read the information from the manufacturer on the packaging, in which he indicates the dimensions of the products. It is traditionally believed that the 1.5 bedroom set got its name due to the width of the sheet and duvet cover, which is 1.5 meters. These are still the gold standards in most modern kits. But there are other options on the market that may or may not suit your bed needs.
lorry kits are ideal if you are the owner of:
- Single bed;
- Classic standard lorry;
- Sofa with a small sleeping place;
- Beds for teenagers.
In all these cases, the size of the 1.5 set will be quite adequate to your needs and expectations. A teenage or single bed is considered to have a bed width of 80 to 90 cm, one-and-a-half – from 110 to 140 cm. The length is taken from 190 to 200 cm. Anything that goes beyond these standards is better covered with double, family or Euro-sets.
For beds of different widths, as well as blankets with different sizes, bedding sets of the following sizes, in cm, are suitable:
- Duvet cover – 143 by 215, 150 by 210, 150 by 215, 150 by 220;
- Sheet – 145 by 214, 160 by 210, 150 by 215;
- Pillowcases – 70 by 70, 60 by 60, 50 by 70.
If you sleep on a single bed, but use a wider blanket, you should give preference to other sets - euro, double, or buy bedding separately, assembling your own sets. This solution will also be appropriate if you do not use standard sheets, but universal sheets with an elastic band, which fit perfectly onto any mattress, including orthopedic mattresses, hold well and do not bunch up during sleep. Pillowcases and duvet covers are the best option in your case.

1 to 5 bedroom sets are very popular, which are suitable not only for 1 person, but also for a home couple who sleeps in the same bed.
Double and Euro
A double set differs in the increased size of the duvet cover and sheets, and such a set can include two or four pillowcases and one duvet cover.

Pillowcases in Euro maxi sets come in two standards: 70x70 and 50x70 and are traditionally supplied in the amount of 4 pieces.
Classification
The classification of bed linen by size in Russia and in Europe differs not only in numbers: European linen is marked with symbols in British language.
Double bed linen sizes
The most popular type of sleeping sets. It consists of a large sheet and duvet cover, plus 4 pillowcases, two of which (50x70 cm) have a decorative function. But they are made in a different width and length, so you will either have to buy additional rectangular pillows to decorate the soft bed, or use your imagination on how to use additional elements. Approximate calculation of a sleeping place from 140 to 150 centimeters. The standard of 2 bed linen itself is more typical for Russia and China, but abroad such a set is called “Euro standard” or “queen”.
- The domestic version is a duvet cover 180x210, sheet 210x230, pillowcase 60x60.
- European version - duvet cover 200 x 220, sheet 229 x 274, pillowcase 65 x 65.
- American version - duvet cover 193x220, sheet 206x244, pillowcase 51x76.
Double bed linen European standard 160x200. But there are collections of Italian sets designed for a mattress 2 meters wide, therefore, their sheet size is 250x290 cm, duvet cover size is 200x250 cm. When purchasing double sleep sets from foreign manufacturers, you need to check the contents, since, unlike domestic packages, they sometimes do not contain a sheet. This is what Austrian and German manufacturers are guilty of. There is no one standard type of size and configuration; everyone chooses based on their own capabilities and desires. Missing by a couple of centimeters cannot ruin high-quality, durable bed linen.
Custom size options
Non-standard sizes of bedding are those that do not fit into any generally accepted standards. These are usually blankets that are custom-made or purchased in another country. The owner of such a curiosity will have to work hard to find suitable bedding. The best option would be to take measurements of the bedding and order linen tailoring from a studio.
In many European countries (Italy, France, Germany), the ratio of 180*220 is considered the standard for blankets. There are also specific parameters characteristic of a particular country. So, in Belgium you can easily find blankets with parameters 170*210, in Italy – 210*250, in Great Britain – 300*250. They should not be perceived as a problem at all, because linen is ordered from any studio, the most important thing is the harmonious combination of the item with the furniture and interior.
European standards in numbers
To make sure you don’t make a mistake when choosing a set, you need to know exactly what size and what type you need.

Advantages of the size range
Double blankets are universal. Due to their size, they are multifunctional items. Such blankets eliminate unnatural postures of users associated with a lack of covered area.
Such a product may be:
- A cozy and spacious cocoon that envelops the user from all sides while resting or sleeping.
- A comfortable warm blanket-plaid that can be used to cover the surface of the sleeping place (as a bedspread).
- An excellent mattress cover that covers the surface of the mattress, making it smoother and softer.
- The “right” type of blanket, providing not only comfort, but also benefits with medicinal properties (models made from natural wool).
Double blankets have many advantages.
They not only differ in suitable sizes, but also:
- They have a wide range of modern raw materials of natural, synthetic or mixed origin. The raw materials are of high quality.
- They stand out noticeably against the background of more compact analogues, covering the surface of the furniture with a margin, which looks impressive and stylish.
- They are often not only functional bedding, but also bright accents in the bedroom.
- They have a wide range of models, made in open and closed types, with one or two working sides or in the form of double products - according to the “two in one” principle.
- They are distinguished by a variety of colors, which allows the buyer to choose an option based on their own preferences.
- Due to the variability of measurements, you can buy a product in a store with a limited assortment, choosing the most suitable option.
- They help out the owner of the house in the event of guests arriving, sheltering two or even three users (parents with a small child).
- Depending on the raw materials and size used in production, they have different prices, which makes it possible to decide on a purchase based on your budget and taste.
Blanket options for different beds
The bedspreads should be larger in size so that they cover the mattress and blanket. The recommended overhang length of the edges is 20-30 cm.
Calculating the correct size of a children's blanket is quite simple: add twice the thickness of the mattress with a blanket to the width of the bed, plus allowances on both sides. For furniture with one back, additionally add another height of the mattress and the amount of overhangs.
Product sizes for different types of furniture:
Bed | Mattress parameters (in cm) | Plaid (cm) |
Single | 80 (90)×200 | 120×200, 130 (150)×200 |
One and a half | 120×200 | 160×200 (220) |
Double | 140×200 | 80×200 (220) |
Euro (2 bedroom) | 160×200 | 200×200 (220) |
Euro maxi | 180 (200)×200 | 220×200 (220), 240×200 (220), 240×260 |
European standards
Standards in Europe differ significantly from Russian ones. The fact is that abroad a single bed is slightly larger than in Russia. This is why bed linen sizes are generally larger. Thus, the most common European standard is 155x215 cm. There is also a non-standard option: 195x215 cm.
Some countries have their own standards for a single duvet depending on the standards for a single bed.
- In England it is 200x250 cm, 230x250 cm, 280x250 cm, 300x250 cm;
- In Belgium - 170x210 cm and 190x230 cm;
- In Spain – 210x250 cm.
Germany, France, Italy adhere to the basic European standard. This must be taken into account when purchasing textiles from a foreign manufacturer.
Single blanket
Single options are considered a universal item used as a bedspread. They are made from a variety of materials with interesting artistic designs and colors. Such accessories are distinguished by decorative and warming characteristics. A correctly selected product design will bring aesthetic beauty to the interior, as well as create a cozy and comfortable atmosphere. The standard dimensions of a bedspread or blanket for adults are 140x200 cm. Such compact dimensions are suitable for a single bed, country picnics or travel. For small chairs, you should choose a size of 130x170 cm, and for bulky models - 150x200 cm.
The main differences between Euro blankets
The identification of a separate category “European standard” is quite arbitrary. There is no single and mandatory standard; each European country has its own patterns, and the parameters do not always coincide. As a result, this has led to the fact that in recent years, in accordance with the wishes of customers, many Russian manufacturers have expanded the size range, adding models with new, more acceptable proportions and sizes. Due to the fact that factories have begun to sew products for a new format, today you can purchase a blanket with almost any parameters, even significantly exceeding King Size blankets.
The competitive advantage of Euro size blankets is:
- the ability to expand your personal comfort zone - it is easily enough for two, tall or large people;
- a large selection of models - by type of material, design, fillers, colors, surface structure;
- suitable for most modern beds, fits into the interior of the room - allows you to beautifully make up even a huge bed, creating a visual effect of order, a feeling of coziness and comfort;
- the ability to choose a perfectly suitable set of bed linen (except for non-standard sizes), in particular a matching duvet cover.
The disadvantages include a fairly high price, which is explained by the high cost of a high-quality Euro blanket - the cost of production, raw materials, delivery and sale of finished products.
Euro blanket size
The definition of the euro parameter was invented for specific standards. But now it has expanded significantly, which is due to the improvement of furniture items in terms of dimensions and types of structures.

Single bed linen sizes
The standard formats of Russian and foreign products are very different, since each country and continent has its own standards and requirements for the manufacture of bedding and furniture. According to domestic GOST, a set for 1 double bed consists of the following indicators:
- Pillowcase 50 x 70.
- Duvet cover 135 x 200.
- Bed sheet 110 x 200.
A single set is often purchased for children or the elderly, therefore, in addition to the size, you need to pay attention to the quality of the material. Children's underwear must have high hypoallergenic properties, be an environmentally friendly product, and the hygroscopicity of the product (moisture absorption) is also important. Russian manufacturers produce sets for babies in different size grids, because children grow and, therefore, they first need a nursery size, then a teenage one. The approximate standard for baby pillowcases is 40x60, duvet covers 100x140, sheets 100x138.
The dimensions of foreign bedding differ from domestic ones, because they have different formats of beds and mattresses. Available in two directions:
- European. Adult size pillowcase – 51x76, sheets 90x190, duvet cover 145x200. Children's pillowcases 40x60, sheets 60x120, duvet covers 100x120.
- American. Adult size pillowcase – 51x76, sheets 99x191, duvet cover 170x220. Children's pillowcases 40x60, sheets 71x132, duvet covers 101x121.
Which blanket is better to choose for sleeping?
The textile industry offers its consumers a wide selection of bedding of various models and quality levels. With so many options to choose from, how do you choose a good blanket that's right for you? The article provides recommendations and advice on the correct selection.
When asked which blanket to choose for relaxing and sleeping, you can confidently answer that the main criteria are the quality characteristics of the cover and filling. Important points are also:
- correctly selected size;
- for whom is it intended - an adult or a child;
- how it will be used - for its intended purpose or as a decorative element.
Selection by season
First of all, it is worth noting that it is better to buy a quality product, even if it costs much more. This thing is guaranteed to bring you a restful, healthy sleep and will last longer. So when purchasing a product, it is first of all better to take into account not the price, but the sanitary and hygienic requirements:
- hygroscopicity;
- hypoallergenic;
- breathability;
- thermal conductivity.
For the winter
Which blanket is better to choose and buy for the winter? A good winter blanket, of course, should be light, comfortable and warm. Thus, for the cold season, purchase products that have the ability to retain heat. Therefore, the best for winter are:
- fluff;
- wool;
- padding polyester;
- holofiber;
- cotton wool
All these materials have excellent heat-retaining characteristics.
For summer
For the summer, a light blanket, such as bamboo, would be an excellent option. Which blanket to choose for hot weather to feel pleasantly cool? Silk products are the favorite in this case. They are smooth and have pleasant cooling qualities.
On cool summer nights, wool blends will be indispensable. Despite the presence of wool, they are light, thin and do not cause discomfort.
For all seasons
In an unstable economy, the question of which blanket is best to choose for all occasions becomes relevant. Textile manufacturers have taken care of this too. If it is not possible to have a separate item for each season, then you should choose a universal blanket. It is also suitable for practical people, small apartments and studios where there is no place to store things.
Such products include a double-sided model, one side of which is wool or fur, and the other is fabric. Another interesting solution for all seasons is the double model. It consists of two halves fastened together. This all-season blanket keeps you warm in the winter, and when summer comes, just unfasten the warm half and use the thinner one separately.
Euro maxi
The definition of a Euro maxi bedspread is also called a royal one, due to its enormous size. Accessories are made from all kinds of materials and can come in a variety of styles, textures and shades.
A blanket for a Euro size bed is used as:
- a cozy homemade shawl - a cocoon;
- blankets in the warm season;
- elegant furniture stole;
- bedding for a picnic or country holiday.
They are made in the classic version or with a lock. Euro maxi standards vary between: 220-280x240-280.
Determining personality and size of a one-and-a-half blanket
One-and-a-half products are used to a greater extent in families whose members prefer to sleep under a separate blanket.
Such a shelter is completely sufficient to provide comfortable sleep and rest for one person. Accordingly, linen for such products is also selected in single-and-a-half size.
Size of a one-and-a-half blanket and common parameters:
- 155x215 cm - the practical and most common size of one-and-a-half-piece products, recognizable as Euro-one and a half;
- 140x205 cm - “Soviet” standard blankets for small beds;
- 160x205 - not a very common modification, most often purchased for children;
- 160x220 cm - a very rare option for one-and-a-half blankets.
