What size is a double blanket - standards and table

Does it ever happen that you feel terribly cold at night? If you cover your head, your feet will get cold. If it's the other way around, your head freezes. The lower back reminds you of itself quite often, and do you indulge in dreams of waking up at least one day without back pain? Do you dream of sleeping with your significant other, huddled together, but the dream turns into a fight for a piece of warmth? Or maybe you have started an independent life and are thinking about purchasing a blanket? You have absolutely no idea about the assortment and don’t understand what to choose? Do not worry. Our article will tell you how to correctly find your blanket size.

There are plenty of them, and I'm alone

How to decide and what is best? How not to get confused and make the right purchase? To make it easier to figure out what’s right for you, let’s find out what subcategories and characteristics there are. The table below will help with this:

Let's carefully study the points in the table:

• Children's: 110*140 cm or 140*140 cm. For newborns it is square and differs in length;
• One and a half: 140*205 cm or in the European template 155*215 cm. You can also find other manufacturing variations, 160*205 or 160*220 cm.

The name one and a half does not mean one and a half men, as it seems at first glance, but determines the width of the product. Otherwise, it may be called “family” to simplify the purchase of kits. I bought family bedding for a blanket and am happy. As a rule, the set consists of a sheet, two duvet covers and pillowcases.

• Double: standard 175*205mm. There are also 180*210, 195*215 and 200*200 mm;
• Double euro: 200*220 mm. There is also a royal 220*240 mm. Buy it if your bed is more than 180 cm wide.

Blankets are also classified by weight:

• light - in everyday life it is called “summer”. Excellent air permeability and an ideal option for hot weather and “hot” people;
• semi-light or lightweight, if the apartment or house has heating, then opt for it;
• standard - medium density and average thermal characteristics. Many are accustomed to just this kind of performance;
• warm - ideal for winter and cold autumn;
• super warm - for those who prefer higher temperatures.

The best solution is to purchase two. Thin for the summer and warm or extremely warm for the winter. It all depends on your wishes and financial capabilities. There are also combined ones, more often they are called off-season.

From different manufacturers, the standard may vary up or down, but it would be better to choose the closest option, for example, one and a half sizes. You will save yourself from searching for a suitable bedding set. Of course, the assortment in stores is huge, but you don’t need to limit yourself and try to simplify your task.

Blanket sizes, standards, table

Manufacturers for sewing blankets use the standards that are used to classify beds and bedding. Table 1 shows the standard types of blankets that are used in Russia.

Comparative parameters of Russian parameters

Separately, it is worth considering non-standard sizes of blankets, for which a different size grid has been developed. All dimensions are shown in Table 3-4.

Interesting

A separate national standard for quilts and pillows was introduced in 2013. What does standard mean? This is a set of rules for companies producing quilts. The presence of a label on a blanket with the GOST symbol means that the product has met the dimensions and the sewing process. Interestingly, the document even indicates the process of correct cutting of the material, the required weight of the product, the parameters of stitches and seams, and the thickness of the threads. Raw materials must be non-hazardous to health and all chemical safety points must be observed.

Standards:

Standard sizes

When producing textiles for sleep, the individual preferences of consumers are taken into account, therefore the parameters are divided into standard and non-standard.

Single one-and-a-half blankets

A single blanket, which is popularly called a “one and a half” blanket, is designed to cover one person while sleeping. The product received this name because its width is one and a half meters. This option is also considered a family option, because it is chosen by spouses who do not like to sleep under the same blanket.

Single products are divided into two types:

1. Soviet. The standard size of a one-and-a-half blanket is 140 cm wide and 205 cm long. This option was put into mass production in the Soviet Union, and now such products are in great demand. The width of the product is ideal for narrow beds; choosing a duvet cover for it is not difficult.
2. Euro. The dimensions of these blankets are slightly larger: width - 155 cm, length - 215 cm. This is a convenient and practical option for a comfortable sleep.

The one-and-a-half-size option is suitable for “family” bedding sets, as it includes two medium-sized duvet covers.

Double

It is necessary to choose products based on the person’s height, the width of the bed, the number of people sleeping on it, and personal preferences.

Standard

Double models are designed for couples and are designed for two people to sleep comfortably under such a blanket. However, the physiological characteristics of each organism require a certain microclimate that is comfortable for sleep, and may not coincide with the needs of another person. Therefore, experts recommend that each family member have their own blanket.

Russian standard values ​​in cm:

• 160 x 200;
• 170 x 200; 170 x 205;
• 175 x 205;
• 180 x 200, 180 x 210, 180 x 220.

Bed linen manufacturers offer a wide selection of duvet covers that are suitable for each option.

Euro and Euro maxi

European parameters differ from Russian ones. The metric system plays a big role here: for foreign products the inch is taken as the basis, in Russia - the centimeter.

Euro size classification in cm:

• 195 x 215;
• 200 x 205, 200 x 210;
• 200 x 220;
• 220 x 240 - euro maxi or royal.

The buyer chooses a double model from two options: standard and euro. The latter is widely popular as it is more convenient and comfortable to use.

Children's

The size of the baby blanket is not of paramount importance, but it is also quite important. If you purchase a product that does not fit in size, certain problems may arise.

Types of nonconformities:

1. The wrong size product will be too small or too large. In this case, it will be uncomfortable for the baby to sleep under it. The blanket will constantly slide to the floor, and the child will be cold.
2. It is difficult to buy a duvet cover for non-standard products, so you need to immediately take care of selecting a set of linens according to size.

There are no uniform requirements for creating bedspreads for children of all ages. Each baby has individual development indicators, so you need to be prepared for the fact that bedding will have to be changed frequently.

Product classification:

1. Blanket for a newborn. The average size is 80 x 120 cm, since the dimensions of a baby crib are 60 x 120 cm. If you wish, you can purchase a product measuring 110 x 140 cm, which can be tucked under the mattress. The child will not open up at night, he will be warm and comfortable.
2. Products for discharge from the maternity hospital. There is a varied choice here. Blankets are purchased depending on the baby’s height - from 90 x 90 cm to 100 x 160 cm.
3. Models for little ones. The most popular dimensions are 90 x 120 cm and 100 x 120 cm. For children from 3 to 5 years old, choose models of size 100 x 140 cm, which can be used before school age.
4. For a teenager. Size - 150 x 200 cm, these are almost adult parameters.

When choosing a product, you need to focus on the child’s height: the product should be convenient, comfortable and completely cover the body.

Choosing clothes

Bed linen is no less important. The fabric will be in constant contact with the body and should be pleasant and hypoallergenic. Be easy to care for and wash. It’s better if it practically doesn’t wrinkle; such a bed looks neater and more well-groomed.

The duvet cover parameter is: blanket plus 5-6 cm on each side. Then you can easily tuck it in and it won’t twist or fold to the side. If minimal doubts creep in, then take a reserve of 7-8 cm. Please note that low-quality underwear will shrink and become a little smaller.

How to choose the size of a duvet cover for a blanket?

You should select a duvet cover that, in all respects, would be larger than the blanket itself, by about 5-10 cm.
The duvet cover should have some margin. At least 5 cm larger in width and length than the blanket. This will make the filling process easier and avoid the product rolling to one side.

There is no need to make a large allowance. Previously, the probability of shrinkage after washing was taken into account. Modern high-quality underwear practically does not shrink.

Which one to choose?

The choice depends on your build, height and the presence and habits of a partner.

If you are a tall and large person, then a double size duvet will be suitable for you. Married for quite a long time and want privacy at night? Then pay attention to the size one and a half. They are also most often chosen by older people who value comfort and warmth. For them, the size of a one-and-a-half blanket is important. You should not choose a double bed for a single bed and vice versa. In the first case. You will heat the floor, and in the second, you will freeze and the romantic hanging will look sloppy.

How to choose the perfect option

In addition to the filler and type of case, you need to pay attention to the size. If you have a lot of bed linen at home, then remember that Russian dimensions do not correspond to the sizes of Euro blankets. Therefore, you will have to choose from your manufacturers or change your bed linen.

Pay attention to the thermal insulation characteristics. A heavy and thick blanket does not mean that it will be warm. For cold winters, down fillings are suitable, and for cold weather, when the temperature does not drop below -10 degrees, it is better to choose a wool blanket. If you are prone to allergies to fluff or wool, it is better to give preference to synthetic materials.

Advice! If the store offers a bedspread with silver ions, it is better to refuse. There is no scientific evidence of the health benefits of precious metal threads.

Don't forget to air the blanket regularly. This will avoid the accumulation of ticks. The synthetic filler can be shaken out and even washed. Don't shy away from using a duvet cover.

Care

As you know, items such as blankets quickly collect dust and require monthly maintenance. It would be great if you can process it in the washing machine, but if dimensions do not allow, contact the dry cleaner. Important: only regular cleaning or washing will help maintain health and quality of sleep.

It doesn’t matter at all whether the width is one and a half or not, the main thing is comfort and healthy sleep. Do not underestimate rest, it is of great importance in our lives. It affects life activity, mood, susceptibility to crises and, of course, health.

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.

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

If you decide to purchase a blanket, then some dimensional parameters are significant and cannot be discounted, so some need to be measured in advance before coming to the store:

•  the size of the blanket depends on the person’s weight, height, and build;
•  the number of people who will rest under it;
•  dimensions of the bed, other sleeping place;
•  the product should have a small margin relative to the bed of 15-20 cm.

Also consider:

• seasonality. The type of filler and its thickness depend on the time of year. For summer, choose thin, lightweight products made from natural synthetic fiber. For winter, a blanket with a lot of wool and down;
• type of filler. The volume and weight of the product depend on it;
• The material of the cover is dense, soft, and does not cause allergic reactions;
• sewing technology. Quilted or cassette model.

Euro blanket sizes are designed for a spacious long bed. When choosing, consider its dimensions.
