Standard sizes of double blankets and duvet covers

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.

Choosing a bedding set for a single-double blanket

Find out how to choose the right double bed linen. When choosing bed linen, the focus is on the size of the blanket, so choosing a duvet cover also has its own tricks:

• Sufficient supply of fabric, usually 5cm. in length and width, so the blanket will not bunch up in one direction.
• If you have doubts about the quality of the purchased linen, take a larger size, taking into account shrinkage after washing. Expensive kits from trusted manufacturers usually already have a small allowance for this case.

A standard set of one-and-a-half bed linen is equipped with the following products:

• Pillowcases with dimensions of 50x50 cm or 50x70 cm.
• A sheet with one option of the following dimensions: 150×200 cm; 150×215 cm; 160×215 cm; 160×240 cm; 180×240 cm; 230×250 cm. When choosing a sheet, you need to focus on the size of the mattress for the bed.
• Duvet cover, dimensions: 145×210 cm; 160×210 cm; 160×220 cm.

The so-called family set, consisting of two duvet covers with slightly different sizes: 148x215 cm and 150x210 cm, can also be considered as an option if your duvet has slightly non-standard dimensions.

A solution may be to sew bedding of a non-standard size yourself (or go to a tailor). Therefore, you need to know which fabric is best for bed linen.

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.

Types of blankets by material of manufacture

Today, children's bedspreads are made from a variety of materials, differing in price and quality. Most manufacturers strive to ensure that these products are as comfortable, warm and safe as possible (that is, hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly), and also do not harm the child’s health or impair the quality of his sleep.

Down duvet

Lightweight and unusually warm models filled with bird down will appeal to lovers of natural materials.

They conduct air well and remove moisture from the body, but at the same time they have a significant disadvantage: natural and environmentally friendly down serves as an ideal habitat for dust mites, which provoke allergic reactions.

Doctors categorically do not recommend using down filling for children's bedding, since the immature immune system is not ready for such exposure.

Products made from down are very wear-resistant. Their service life is about 20 years.

However, they require quite thorough care:

1. It is undesirable to lie on the blanket itself for a long time, because this may cause it to lose its heat resistance.
2. It is necessary to fluff the blanket periodically to prevent the formation of lint clumps.
3. You should regularly ventilate the bedroom area.

Woolen

One of the highest quality of its kind, as it retains heat perfectly and is very comfortable and soft. The material used is sheep or camel wool. Woven wool products are made in the form of blankets, and quilted ones have a wool layer of insulation in a cover made of natural fabric.

Woven models are thin, fold compactly and can withstand washing well, so they are used as a travel option.

Woolen products, like down ones, can provoke allergic reactions.

They are divided into several varieties:

• 100% wool;
• half-woolen;
• from camel wool, llama wool, Kashmir goats, sheep.

The advantages of such products can be listed for a long time. First of all, they retain heat very well. They are also soft and pleasant to the touch, which makes sleep calm and comfortable. It is easy to care for such a thing, because it does not collect dust and various insects such as mites never appear on it. It is anti-allergenic.

A wool blanket can perfectly absorb moisture. This improves the so-called sleep microclimate, which is so important for children. Blankets made from camel wool will be useful for children with circulatory disorders, diseases of the musculoskeletal system, allergy sufferers and asthmatics. In addition, they can even help cope with pain in the head and teeth.

Blankets made from llama wool can also have a positive effect on a child, because their fibers are coated with natural wool wax. They have antiallergic and antibacterial effects.

Sheep wool is the finest snow-white material. It is pleasant to the touch, has excellent structure and elasticity. Items made from this type of wool usually last a very long time.

Blankets are also made from wool, which will be convenient for every parent of a small child to keep with them while walking with a stroller or, for example, on a long train or car trip.

Silk

Blanket of the highest quality. It comes from China. Now silk is becoming increasingly popular in Russia and the world due to its unusual properties and high quality. In addition to the fact that silk is a soft, light and pleasant material, it is able to maintain a uniform temperature in bed at any time of the year (although for some reason many people believe that silk blankets should only be used in the warm season).

This blanket is filled with silkworm cocoons, which retain heat well, but are unfavorable for the development of microorganisms. Despite their thinness, silk models are very warm and have thermoregulating properties. It is not hot under them in summer and warm in winter.

A significant disadvantage is the high cost of such models, which is why they are often purchased in large sizes, counting on long-term use.

Silk never creates a greenhouse effect. It is very wear-resistant and durable. It will be the best option for children who are allergic to down, feathers and other similar fillers. A special substance in the composition - siricin - helps to resist the development of ticks and other insects inside the product.

Silk is a high-quality material with many advantages. It is perfect for children of all ages.

Cotton

Natural cotton wool filling has significant advantages in the form of good thermal insulation, hygroscopicity and breathability. Such blankets are non-allergenic, affordable, but have the disadvantage of being very heavy, due to which they are very rarely used to cover newborns.

At the same time, some mothers note that restless babies sleep longer under a heavy blanket, because it acts like a loose swaddling blanket, slightly limiting mobility, and children do not wake themselves up by throwing up their arms.

Cotton filler absorbs odors and moisture very quickly. For mothers, caring for such a thing will be much more difficult. There is a high chance that small insects will live inside the blanket. This is very dangerous for a child. But worse than that is a great fire hazard. The smallest spark can ignite the filling of a blanket.

A cotton blanket has a very low price, so you should not expect high quality and long service life from it.

Moreover, you should not purchase such a product for a child, because it is dangerous and uncomfortable.

It should also be noted that cotton wool models are fragile, since when washed, the filler tends to form in clumps.

Baykovoe

A blanket made of natural cotton allows air to pass through well and absorbs excess moisture, leaving the child dry. It is perfect for the autumn-spring period. Even if you choose a large crib size, the standard thickness of about 0.5 cm makes it very compact. Therefore, it is convenient to take it with you on the road or to wrap your baby in a stroller.

A delicate and soft flannelette blanket is made for both adults and children. It is the most popular option among parents of very young newborn children.

The story has not yet lost its relevance:

1. This material and blankets made from it remain popular due to its naturalness and environmental friendliness. But they also have a lot of other advantages. First of all, it is lightness. There are babies of such small weight that blankets made from other, heavier materials will not suit them. Such problems will not arise with a bike.
2. Flannelette blankets are very soft, delicate, pleasant to the touch. There is no lint on them that could irritate the child, and such a product will not hinder the child’s movements.
3. Flannelette blankets are completely safe and harmless for the baby’s health. Bike is a 100% natural material that cannot cause allergies, rashes or breathing problems. Such a product will not allow the child to sweat, as it is able to “breathe”.

But that's not all the advantages of a flannelette blanket. It is very warm, so it is suitable even for cool weather. It is easy to care for and can easily remove any stains. The flannel blanket is durable and can be used for years.

The most important advantage of this blanket is its very low price with excellent quality (about 400-500 rubles). Any family can afford it, and buying such a product will not hurt your pocket. In addition, you can find countless designs and colors in stores.

The most common standards for a flannelette blanket are 80 x 100 cm, 90 x 100 cm, 110 x 125, 100 x 140 cm.

Fleece

A fleece blanket made from synthetic knitted polyester fabric is very warm and pleasant to the touch. Clothing is often made from this fabric, for example, sweaters, jackets, hats, scarves.

Many people believe that no synthetic fabrics can “breathe” and are therefore harmful to babies. But with fleece everything is different. Fleece “breathes” due to the fact that during the creation of this material a numerous number of pores are formed, ensuring the penetration of air into it during operation.

Advantages of a fleece blanket:

1. Fleece retains heat very well, and in the cold season the child will not freeze with it. At the same time, in summer and warm spring, fleece will create a feeling of pleasant coolness and will prevent your baby from sweating.
2. The fleece blanket is very comfortable and pleasant to the touch, as well as light and almost weightless. The child will always be very comfortable with it.
3. This fabric is very easy to care for. It is machine washable and dries quickly. No need to fight annoying mites and moths.
4. This thing has a fairly long service life.

But even such a seemingly ideal blanket has its drawbacks, and quite significant ones.

Cons of fleece:

1. This material is not safe. It is very flammable and also electrified.
2. Pellets often form on it, so it quickly loses its beautiful appearance.

The quality of fleece is directly related to the amount of fiber in the material. It is recommended to choose products in which the number of fibers is from 225 to 300 per 1 cm. A satisfactory result is from 190 to 225 per 1 cm. It is not at all recommended to purchase fleece with a fiber number of 190 and below - it is of poor quality.

Often a fleece blanket is purchased for newborn babies. The main thing is not to choose cheapness at the expense of quality and always remember about safety measures when using the item.

Bamboo

An unusual option is a bamboo blanket. It is made from bamboo yarn, which has amazing insulating properties. Such blankets are able to retain heat well, although they are most often used in the warm season.

There are many benefits to bamboo blankets. Thanks to the special fibers of the material, the products are not thick at all and are quite light, which makes them more comfortable.

The antiseptic and hypoallergenic qualities of bamboo fiber make this option preferable for allergy sufferers and children.

Bamboo fibers are highly breathable. They do not require special care, which allows mothers to reduce the number of worries. The only thing that needs to be done regularly is to fluff and air the blanket, but this does not require much effort. Washing is carried out on a delicate cycle.

The quality characteristics of bamboo products are comparable to silk ones at a more affordable price.

Synthetic

There are quite a lot of filling options here - padding polyester, holofiber, eco-fiber, artificial down. They are united by lightness and warmth, but weak hygroscopicity, due to which the sweaty baby will remain wet.

For many parents, the very word “synthetics” may seem intimidating, because natural materials are generally considered to be of the highest quality. But this is not always the case, and many synthetic blankets are no worse and in many ways even superior to those made from natural materials such as down, wool, and silk.

Three main advantages of products made from synthetic fibers:

• high hygiene;
• hypoallergenic;
• environmental friendliness.

If a child, for example, needs to find a compromise due to intolerance to natural materials, a synthetic blanket will become it. In addition, the price of synthetic products is usually not very high.

The most famous synthetic material is, of course, padding polyester. But it is by no means the best, because it does not allow air to pass through well, it deteriorates greatly from frequent washing, and children so often get their clothes and everything around them dirty.

Holofiber is much more suitable for children. The main difference from synthetic winterizer is that it practically does not absorb moisture.

It will be able to last much longer, remaining of the same quality for quite a long period. Holofiber is also much easier to care for, it can withstand washing easily and dries quite quickly.

An artificial down substitute is ecofiber, an environmentally friendly filler. It will help protect products from dangerous mites.

Ecofiber can be called orthopedic, since it retains its shape very well for many years. This is especially important for a growing organism. The material is completely safe and does not spread the combustion process, unlike fleece.

Caring for ecofiber is quite simple. This is very important when the housewife is mainly busy taking care of the child, because then washing, cleaning and everything else fades into the background. It can be washed in a machine at a temperature of about 40 degrees. After washing, you need to wring out the blanket well and dry it. The whole process will not take much time.

Standard sizes of duvet covers, table

You can see all the current sizes of duvet covers (standard), which are available in the table below:

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.

Bed linen sizes

All bedding sets, with the exception of those sewn to individual orders, can be classified into one of 5 standard types.

Table

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 bedding

When choosing bedding for babies, it is important to consider :

• Quality of materials;
• Coloring (an important parameter from the point of view of psychologists that can influence the quality of a child’s sleep);
• Bed linen size

size table

First of all, you need to purchase a mattress, based on the size of which, choose the linen itself.

Mattresses of three standards are available for children and teenagers:

• For newborns .

• younger children .

• For teenagers .

For teenagers and young children, the size of the sheet is most often not critical.

In addition to the sheet, the bedding set for babies includes a duvet cover and one pillowcase. Their size should not exceed the size of the blanket and pillow by more than 4 centimeters.

This is considered to be the optimal reserve:

• on the one hand, it leaves no room for the bedding to fidget inside,

• on the other hand, such linen, even after shrinking as a result of the first washes, will not be “tight” for a blanket and pillow.

Children's mattress size chart

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.

Why is it important

Buying the right baby blanket can make the difference between a comfortable or uncomfortable baby's sleep.

Often, young parents overlook such a factor as choosing the right size of a baby blanket. But this should not be allowed, since inappropriate parameters can cause some discomfort. What happens when the dimensions are chosen incorrectly?

• Difficulties in choosing a duvet cover. Often the size of a baby blanket is selected individually, that is, the measurements are non-standard. Subsequently, difficulties arise with selecting a cover, which leads to the fact that the blanket may become crumpled during sleep.
• Blanket slipping. A product that is too small may fall off the bed, hanging under its own weight. As a result, the baby's sleep is disrupted.
• Doesn't fit in bed. This is also a drawback, and it’s not worth taking a baby blanket “for growth.” If the product does not fit around the perimeter of the crib, it will clump and interfere with normal sleep.
• The blanket does not adequately cover the baby. This can happen when it is too small and when the baby rolls around in his sleep, he slips off it, leaving it open.

As you can see, this factor must be taken into account, otherwise the appearance of some discomfort and sleep disturbance is guaranteed. But this issue should be approached with preparation, and take into account the various factors that influence the choice.

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.

Classification of one and a half for adults

• Light summer (or summer) (0) - characterized by high hygroscopicity and good air permeability, the best solution for the heat.
• Lightweight , one of the summer varieties (00) - suitable for summer and other seasons if there is good heating.
• All-season (000) is a widespread type of universal product. Suitable for all seasons, most people are accustomed to using this particular model.
• Warm (0000) - good for cold climates in winter.
• Very warm (00000) - intended for heat-loving owners, very appropriate during periods of no heating or in case the heating system is not working well.

The individual characteristics of the body are also taken into account when purchasing; if you do not tolerate heat well, it is better to give preference to lightweight models, and for those who like to warm up, warmer blankets are suitable even in summer.

The best option would be to buy at least two sets: warm for winter, and lightweight for hot summer. There are also all season options, otherwise known as "4 seasons". Consulting a seller in a specialized store or comparing the main characteristics when purchasing on an online resource will help you better decide on the quality assortment and price category of the product.

A one-and-a-half set of bed linen is usually purchased either as a single or teenage option. Before purchasing bed linen or a suitable blanket, you should carefully study the assortment of modern stores. If you have chosen a non-standard blanket, it would be useful to provide places for possible sale of bed linen of the appropriate size. The quality of the fabric, the packaging and the cost all matter.

Tips for choosing

When choosing bed linen from both Russian and foreign manufacturers, it is necessary not only to take into account the difference in the sizes of each type, but also the configuration.

Pillowcases

For example, one-and-a-half sets are designed for one person, but they can be used by two people, so in such a set there are often two pillowcases.

Duvet cover

As for the duvet cover, it is usually selected to match the size of the existing blanket.

• The duvet cover should be 2-3 centimeters larger than the blanket.

Sheet

There are two types of sheets:

• regular classic,

• tension (with an elastic band).

The disadvantages and advantages of a regular sheet are obvious:

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.

Translation of foreign size markings

European and American manufacturers have almost the same designations. Blanket size chart:

The table displays the average parameters. In France, for example, the smallest for an adult is 130X180 cm, and in Portugal 130X190, in the UK it starts from 180X230 cm - this is actually the size of a double blanket.

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.

• At the top of the product card there may be the words “cotton”, “natural”, and already under the line “Description” it is indicated “polycotton”, “cotton ...%, polyester ...%”.

The best guarantee of a successful purchase here is live reviews with details and photographs. Read about the best materials and fabrics for bedding in a separate section.

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.

comparison table

The main Russian standard sizes are clearly presented in the table.

When purchasing such products, please note that the duvet cover should be 5 centimeters wider and longer. This difference will allow you to tuck the blanket into it without any problems and possible shrinkage of the fabric will not be an unpleasant surprise.

If you become the owner of a bed with non-standard parameters, then many studios provide services for individual tailoring of bedding.

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.

Sewing a crib set yourself

Manufacturers offer many variations of bedding for children. If desired, you can find kits for every taste. But some parents want to sew children's bedding with their own hands. They are simply confident that such a bed will provide special comfort to the child, since a piece of maternal love is invested in it.

Preparatory stage

If you decide to make a bed yourself, reconsider all the recommendations described above. This will allow you to choose the right fabric and its color palette. To make a bedding set, you will need 3 m of fabric with a width of 1.5 m. To sew a set, consider the following standard sizes of bedding for a crib for newborns (in centimeters):

• sheet – 150x100;
• duvet cover – 100x100;
• pillowcase – 50x45.

Uncover

Peculiarities. Sewing any product begins with cutting. To do this, use a large table or prepare a place on the floor. You will need a thin bar of soap or chalk.

Cutting technology

• Lay the fabric out on a flat surface.
• Measure 100 cm from the left edge of the material, draw a thin line upward with chalk - this is a blank sheet.
• Move to the right along one of the edges, set aside 100 cm - this will be the middle of the duvet cover. Another 100 cm is its end.
• Draw up three perpendiculars along the end line of the sheet, along the basting indicated above (the middle line of the duvet cover) and along the end line of the product.
• Set aside 100 cm on perpendiculars, close them by drawing an even horizontal line. You have now created a duvet cover.
• On the remaining free piece of fabric (if you did everything correctly, then you will have a free top piece of 50x200 cm), cut the pillowcase, putting 45 cm down, and 50 cm to the side (on one surface) + 50 cm (on the other side) + 20 cm (on the valve).
• Now that all the patterns are applied to the fabric, you can arm yourself with scissors and cut out the blanks.
• Remember that the middle line of the duvet cover is not cut - this is where it folds.
• When cutting out a pillowcase, do not cut the sides and flap. These are also places where the product bends.

The dependence of the weight of the blanket on the type of filler

Manufacturers offer a wide selection of fillers. They differ in a number of characteristics, for example, weight, warmth, price.

Blankets are:

• With natural filling: Down;
• Wool;
• Bamboo;
• Silk.

For a newborn

For this purpose, models with dimensions of 80 by 80 cm, 85 by 85 cm, 90 by 90 cm have been specially created.

Parents should make sure that immediately after birth the child can be in comfortable conditions.

A square shape is considered optimal. Thanks to it, the child can be easily wrapped and reliably protected from the weather. Under this, the baby will not be cold to sleep at home.

A cradle or playpen is a fairly narrow space. That is why it is recommended to make a bedspread with a width of no more than 40 cm.

Of course, there is no single standard size for children of all ages and parameters.

For the summer season

The universal size for summer is considered to be 90 by 120 cm. It can cover a baby up to 3 years old inclusive.

In summer, do not wrap your baby in a warm blanket

To create more comfortable conditions, it can also be folded on both sides.

In summer, parents can also cover the baby with a regular diaper.

However, this option is difficult to use in combination with a stroller.

For discharge from the maternity hospital

Such options are very popular. Newborns are small in size and weight, so they need to choose the right things. Most parents choose a blanket 118 by 118 or 110 by 140 cm. These options are used even in maternity wards.

For walks during winter

During the cold season, the child should be protected from negative external influences. A blanket 60 by 90 cm is ideal for this. It can also be used if the baby already knows how to roll over. For a child older than one year, it can be used for partial protection. For example, parents can cover their legs in the stroller.

For winter walks, choose a warm and comfortable product

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.

For teenagers

Adolescence is a special period. At this time, the child is actively growing, and its parameters can reach the volume of an adult. That is, a blanket purchased for a primary school student can become small in size almost in one summer. Therefore, during this period, when choosing a model, you need to especially focus on the volume and growth of the child. A blanket for teenagers in standard sizes – 140 cm x 200 cm. This option is already close to adult parameters. If the child is quite tall, you can purchase a full-fledged blanket for an adult - 150 x 200 cm or 140 x 205. Modern European sizes are 155 x 215 cm, they are now most often used. Just when choosing a duvet cover model, you need to remember that it should also be bought for an adult.

Actually, starting from adolescence, you can consider the option of buying a standard one-and-a-half blanket for an adult, since at this age children feel like boys and girls, and a single adult bed will suit them perfectly.

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.
