A baby blanket is a more comfortable thing than a blanket. You can cover your baby with it, cover a crib or stroller, or take it with you on a trip or vacation. When choosing a product, it is important to pay attention not only to color and material. It is necessary to take into account the size of the blankets and select the item depending on the age of the child.

Sizes of children's blankets

The main difference between bedspreads for babies and similar things for adults is the design and size. Otherwise, their functions are the same: they are used to warm a child, decorate a stroller or crib. Available in rectangular shapes, with straight or rounded corners.

The very first accessory that parents select with special trepidation is for discharge from the maternity hospital. This product is often replaced with an envelope. It is made from soft materials in pastel shades and decorated with a lace border around the edges.

As for the sizes of blankets for newborns, they can be different. Main parameters: 70×100, 75×75, 75×90, 80×90, 80×110, 90×120 cm. You need to choose depending on the weight and height of the baby, as well as on how it will also be used - in a crib , stroller.

Advice! Square products are worth purchasing for strollers. They take up little space and fit better. Plus, they are more convenient for wrapping the baby to take him home after a walk.

In the stroller

Many parents prefer to purchase a blanket for growth. And they are faced with the fact that the thing turns out to be too bulky and uncomfortable: it hardly fits in the stroller and gets in the way of the child. Therefore, the product must be small.

You can determine the correct size of the blanket using the table:

Advice! When choosing a product for a stroller, you must take into account seasonality. The best option is to purchase a demi-season and insulated one.

For teenagers

A blanket for a schoolchild is selected according to his height and the size of his sleeping place. Products for sleep and relaxation come in the following sizes:

• 130×160 cm;
• 150×200 cm;
• 160×180 cm;

Fact! The main difference between a blanket and a blanket is the presence of a front and back side. And also the fact that you can cover yourself with a blanket without taking off your clothes. The blanket is a bedding item, has identical sides, and is used with a duvet cover.

What do we pay attention to when choosing a blanket size?

So, the decision to buy a blanket has been made. But which product to choose in size and what parameters should you rely on?

Let's look into it in detail. When choosing, you need to consider the following:

1. Dimensions of the bed. The blanket should not be too big or small. The big one will slide down at night under its own weight, and the small ones will not be able to hide completely. The product should have a small margin on three sides relative to the sleeping area, except for the headboard. And the width of the blanket should exceed the width of the bed by about 50 cm.
2. For a child, it is better to purchase a baby blanket that matches not only his age, but also his height.
3. If you want a feeling of intimacy between two people, then it is better to choose one large size product. For older couples, a set of two one-and-a-half-length blankets is recommended. The same applies to those who have their own sleep habits.

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:

How to determine the appropriate size

To determine the appropriate size, you can use a simple formula:

• The width of the bedspread is determined by adding the width and twice the height of the mattress. If the width of the mattress is 160 cm and its height is 20 cm, then the width of the bedspread should be 200 cm.
• The length of the bedspread is determined by adding the height and length of the mattress. In this example, it is 220 cm (20+200). If a bedspread is needed for a bed with a footrest, then the length will be 200 cm (that is, only the length of the mattress).

In this example, the best option would be a bedspread measuring 200x220 cm.

When choosing a bedspread for cribs, it is worth considering the size of the upper plane of the mattress. This nuance is due to the fact that it is surrounded by sides on all sides. Therefore, the cover for cribs should not be much wider than the mattress.

Choosing a blanket for travel or for a chair

A cozy, warm accessory is a necessary thing on a trip or hike. It can be used as a blanket, cape or pillow. Usually produced in smaller sizes than home textiles. Due to this, it can be folded or rolled up as compactly as possible to save space in a suitcase or backpack. When choosing, you should also pay attention to the weight of the product. It is advisable to prefer something made of light textiles: acrylic, microfiber, fleece. The standard dimensions of the travel accessory are 130×170 cm.
