What size of bed linen to choose: correspondence table Euro and RF standard

Types of bed linen for adults: offers from Russian manufacturers

If we talk about underwear from a Russian manufacturer, it is very difficult to notice some inconsistencies. Although sometimes they differ by 10-15 cm from GOST standards. It is worth noting that dubious textile companies can even make a duvet cover smaller than a sheet. This all happens due to the need to focus on the variety of blankets, their structure and sewing options.

Sizes of single and one-and-a-half bed linen

Each option includes one duvet cover and one sheet. Depending on the chosen model, the number of pillowcases can vary from 1 to 2. The only difference between these sets is that one and a half pillowcases can fit an average married couple. Let's consider the sizes of bed linen "one and a half":

• Sheet - from 145x200 cm;
• Duvet cover - from 110-140 cm to 125-150 cm;
• Pillowcases - from 25x30 cm to 40x60 cm.

It is worth noting that the minimum size of a sleeping set today is one and a half standard bed linen. Often, “single beds” for adults are no longer produced. Tailoring is possible only to order. When purchasing, you need to study the components of the laundry, which are listed on the packaging:

• the designation Single or 1-bed informs the consumer that there is one pillowcase included in the set;
• There are sets that do not have a sheet;
• There are high-quality models with a main and spare duvet cover.

Sometimes sets are made too narrow, so they may not fit on the bed. Therefore, you should initially find out the parameters of the bed.

Double and family bedding sizes

Double sets have wider parameters. The family bedding set has increased sizes, it includes 3-4 pillowcases, 1 sheet, and one duvet cover. This set for one-and-a-half berths includes two duvet covers. The parameters of all components are as follows:

• pillowcases - 70x70 cm;
• duvet cover - 175x215 cm;
• sheet - 180x220 cm;
• family duvet covers - 145x215 cm.

As a rule, a family PBC always has the same dimensions and easily fits a bed of 160x180 cm. It is a universal thing.

Bed linen sizes “Euro” and “Euro-Maxi”

The sizes of bed linen “Euro” and “Family” correspond to the dimensions of the “Queen” bed. The components are usually the same, regardless of which country the set was released in. The Euro bedding set includes the components from the size chart:

• duvet cover - 200×250 cm;
• sheet - 250×290 cm;
• pillowcases 70×70 cm² or 50×70 cm.

As for Euro-Maxi bed linen, they are considered the largest size, so they are suitable for specially selected pillows and blankets. The width of the bed for such a set must be at least 180 cm. The sheet and duvet cover have some discrepancy, but their standard size is 220×240 cm. In such models you can find a designation like “50×70+5 (70×70+5)” . This suggests that the pillowcases have a decorative edging.

Types of covers by method of removal

The method for removing the protective pillowcase also differs. For the convenience of craftsmen, there is an extensive range of auxiliary accessories. The following types of covers are distinguished:

1. Pillowcase with zipper. The most convenient method for beginners, but it is better to place the zipper along the side seam line.
2. Closing flaps with button. This technique is most often used for decorative pillows that decorate the interior.
3. Cases without auxiliary fittings.

The latter option is great for sleeping pillows.

Bed linen and its sizes for adults from foreign manufacturers

An imported bed linen manufacturer prepares the most traditional models. They even fit Russian brands of sleeping places. Such kits are considered for the most part universal, but there are also options with individual parameters.

Standard sizes and markings of European bed linen

As a rule, the markings may differ significantly depending on the region in which the bedding set is manufactured. The sizes of double bed linen can be set according to an individual scheme, so their markings are not always clear. We suggest taking a closer look at the decoding.

1. Single Twin - sheet 183x284 cm, fitted sheet 90x190 cm, duvet cover 145x200 cm, pillowcases 65x65 cm² or 51x76 cm.
2. Double/Full - sheet 229x274 cm, 140x190 cm (if with elastic), duvet cover 200x220 cm, pillowcases 51x76 cm or 65x65 cm².
3. King/Queen - regular sheet 274x297 cm, fitted sheet 150x200 cm or 180x200 cm, duvet cover 260x220 cm, pillowcases 51x76 cm or 65x65 cm².

Based on the decoding, we can conclude that the pillowcases fit absolutely all pillows made in Europe, since they have the same sizes.

Standard American bedding sizes

If you still have Soviet-made beds at home, then you need to know the dimensions reliably, since not all models of bed linen from America are suitable for completing your bedroom furniture. The table below will help you understand in more detail.

Spare pillowcases

It often happens that there are not enough pillowcases in the house from a ready-made bedding set. In this case, they have to purchase additional spare pillowcases. All housewives try to choose so that the new pillowcase matches the color scheme of those that were included in the set.

But the question remains relevant. Why buy additional pillowcases? It's much simpler than you might think. Pillowcases need to be changed frequently, especially when a person is prone to sweating. They wear out faster.

Types of children's bedding "Standard" with size chart

Whatever material children's sleeping sets are made from, they must meet specific parameters. You should choose them by first measuring the dimensions of your child’s bedroom furniture.

Sets for newborns

When a child appears in the house, parents try to provide him with all the necessary supplies individually. This also applies to bed linen. For newborns, there are separate options that are suitable for cradles and cribs. The table shows the most popular sizes of sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers.

Some parts of the kit can be used for further covering of playpens, changing tables and larger beds. Usually one bedding set lasts for two to three years.

For preschoolers and teenagers

Typically, bed linen is divided according to the age of the children. It is necessary to separate preschool kits from teenage kits. After all, the baby has absolutely no need for spacious duvet covers or sheets. It is very easy to get confused in them. Therefore, more detailed dimensions of bed linen can be found in the correspondence table.

Good to know! Children's bedding should not be close to the size of the bed. For example, the wider and longer the sheet is than the mattress, the more convenient it is to tuck it inside. It will not constantly wrinkle, and the child’s sleep will remain comfortable.

Tips for choosing bed linen

The choice of bed linen determines how often it will be used, whether this set will be liked, and whether it will be of high quality. All these points, in combination with dimensions, need to be taken into account. Let's look at the important conditions that will help you make the right purchase.

How to choose pillowcases

Whatever you buy for your home, you need to choose it correctly. To do this, you must first measure the parameters of the bedding and find out its material.

Traditionally, the size of the pillowcase should correspond to the parameters of the pillow. Even one missing centimeter will make the bedding rough and uncomfortable. A set piece that is too large, on the contrary, will create voids that interfere with normal sleep.

The standard sizes of pillowcases can be seen from the previous size tables, but there are also models for decorative pillows. Such components may be included directly in the kit or you will have to purchase them separately. Here everything depends strictly on the model. Pillowcases 40×40 cm² or 47×47 cm² are considered designer, but can also be intended for sleeping if they are made of cotton, linen and other natural breathable fabrics.

How to choose a double and single duvet cover, taking into account the size

Still unsure about choosing the right duvet cover? Learn a few simple recommendations from the HomeMyHome editors.

1. In everyday life, blankets often have a rectangular shape, so the duvet cover should have a similar geometry. If your covering product is round or oval, look for or order just such underwear.
2. Decide on the size of the bed and blanket. Remember that double duvet covers will be a size too big. Therefore, be sure to correlate these parameters.
3. Traditional sizes of duvet covers: one and a half - 210x145 cm; double bed -215x275 cm; euro - 200×220 cm; Euro-maxi – 220×240 cm.
4. Having understood the existing parameters of duvet covers, all that remains is to measure your blanket, then go to a textile store and purchase the appropriate set.

On a note! Children's duvet covers are selected in a similar way. The only difference is that the size of the hole for the blanket must be larger. This will make it possible to promptly straighten the rolled-up bedding.

How to choose a simple sheet with elastic bands in size for a single and double bed

A fitted sheet is considered practical in its own way, it is convenient to wash, and it does not require maintenance. Therefore, many housewives choose this particular model. However, in order for it to fit your bed, you need to accurately determine the dimensions of the mattress along with the mattress pad (if you have one). It is absolutely not necessary to use options with a margin.

The optimal fabric for a children's bed would be 60×120×20 cm. For double furniture, you can use three different options: 140×200×25 cm, 160×200×25 cm, 180×200×25 cm. Again, taken into account parameters of a mattress or orthopedic surface.

The regular model is considered no less common. According to GOST they are divided as follows:

• single – 203×120 cm;
• one-and-a-half - 214×130 cm;
• double - 214x145 cm;
• teenage - 180×100 cm;
• children's room - 117x110 or 159x100 cm.

In fact, these are just standard parameters of underwear that have been known since the times of the USSR. Today there are many different variations in the size of bedding sheets, so it’s worth starting from the needs of the owners.

Types of pillowcases by shape and size

A standard sleeping pillowcase has dimensions of 70*70 cm. However, today in the interior you can find decorative models of pillows, floor models, orthopedic ones, and each of them requires an individual selection of a protective cover. Possible shapes of pillowcases:

• Square model.
• Rectangular option.
• The case is round in shape.
• Cylindrical shape for the case.

There are also pillowcases for decorative pillows in the shape of a heart or a star (depending on the design of the accessory). For each of the known shapes, you can find ready-made patterns to sew a pillowcase on a pillow with your own hands.
