Sizes, shades and texture of children's bedding: requirements for a good night

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:

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.

Sizes of one-and-a-half bed linen: standard

The parameters of bed linen for one and a half beds are variable, since manufacturers often adhere to individually designed patterned mesh. However, they cannot be smaller than the dimensions of a semi-truck determined by GOST.

The approximate size of a 1.5-bed duvet cover made in Europe or America is 145x210 cm. This is the most common option. It is suitable for a 1.5-sleeping blanket with dimensions of 140 by 205 centimeters. Imported sheets and pillowcases can have dimensions of 183×274 and 51×76 or 65×65 cm, respectively.

The ideal duvet cover is 5-6 cm wider and longer than a 1.5-size duvet. If in fact the size of a one-and-a-half duvet cover turns out to be larger than indicated on the packaging, it means that the manufacturer has provided a small margin for shrinkage.

On a note

The inscription on the Single or 1-bed label means that the sleeping set includes one pillowcase. Sets from German and Austrian manufacturers never include a sheet. Italian textile factories produce duvet covers already 140 cm.

To determine the appropriate bedding parameters, arm yourself with a sewing tape measure and take measurements of the bed, pillows and blanket. If you are using an orthopedic mattress, measure it too.

Typical dimensions of bedding (dimensions in cm):

The parameters of the sheet are determined not so much by the dimensions of the bed as by the mattress. The ideal option is when it is 30–60 cm longer and wider. For example, on a 125x200 cm mattress it is better to put a 150x215 cm sheet on it. The larger it is, the easier it is to tuck it in.

When choosing a fitted sheet, do not add extra centimeters to the width and length. It should perfectly match the sleeping area. On the packaging of such products there is one more parameter - the height of the side, which should be equal to the height of an orthopedic or regular mattress. It is designated as follows: 190×90+30 cm, 190×90, side 30 cm.

Pillows produced in the Russian Federation have the same length and width. For square pillowcases, 70x70 cm are suitable, and for rectangular ones, 50x70 cm.

If a one-and-a-half bed has non-standard parameters or is equipped with an orthopedic mattress that is too large, you can purchase bedding separately, rather than a 1.5-bed set. Or order individual tailoring of one-and-a-half-size bed linen.

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.

How to choose the size of bedding according to your bed

Before you find out the size of bedding for your bed, you need to take all measurements. As was clear from the tables described above, accurate standards float up to 10-20 centimeters. In this regard, it is better to know all the parameters initially in order to avoid mistakes in the future.

sheet

It is incorrect to take the dimensions of sleeping sets of bed linen according to the same length and width of the mattress. It also has thickness that needs to be added.

Let's say there is a mattress with parameters 160x200 and a thickness of 15 centimeters. Add the numbers and get 175x215. To keep the sheet tight, you need to add another 20 centimeters.

To find the size of bedding with elastic, you do not need to add a spare 20 centimeters.

It is not always possible to find fitted sheets for a specific mattress. In this case, you can take a model 3-5 centimeters larger.

Duvet covers

There is only one rule for them: an addition to the width and length of the blanket is necessary. Moreover, it depends on the type of material:

1. Natural fabrics. Cotton and linen are prone to natural shrinkage and after a year or two they tighten. The optimal addition is considered to be 5 centimeters. If the fabric has been finished and steamed, there will be no shrinkage and the additive can be reduced to 2 centimeters.
2. Synthetic fabrics. They do not shrink, so the tolerance is less - 3 centimeters.

By the way, if you are planning a picturesque print (for example, bed linen from the Mona Lisa), then the additive is taken “butt”, that is, 1-2 centimeters.

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 should you pay attention to measurements?

The size of a baby blanket is an important parameter that you should pay attention to! Do not ignore centimeters when buying the first product you come across - it is very important to take the appropriate measurements. Let's tell you why you should take care of measurements:

• Due to the mismatch with the proportions of the bed, the product will bulge and no longer fit inside - as a result, it cannot be tucked into the duvet cover;
• A voluminous blanket will put a lot of pressure on top and create excess heaviness;
• A product that is too small will not allow you to cover yourself completely - it will blow and the baby will start to freeze. It is impossible to fully wrap a child;
• Non-standard proportions make it difficult to choose a high-quality duvet cover that matches the color.

Don’t forget, sound sleep is the basis for a child’s health and full development, so needs cannot be ignored. Incorrectly selected sizes of a baby blanket can cause the baby to constantly wake up and experience obvious discomfort. You don't want to let this happen, do you?

When choosing the size of a baby blanket for a crib, be sure to consider the following factors:

• Age – newborn or infant, preschooler, teenager. There are different sizes for all age groups;
• Body type, height and weight - take into account the individual characteristics of your child. Children may be larger than their age or, conversely, thin;
• Bed size.

Follow this recommendation: the baby can fit completely under the blanket - if he spreads his arms/legs, they will not stick out. Here is a table of children's shoe sizes by age.

Let's try to determine the sizes of a baby blanket for newborns and other age groups - we have compiled a useful reminder below!

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.

Types and standards

Single and one-and-a-half beds

The set includes:

As the name suggests, the set is designed for one person, but now traditional single sets are becoming increasingly rare.

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.

The set is suitable for both singles and married couples.

The Euro size differs from the double size only in larger sizes, the equipment remains exactly the same.

Family

Family models are equipped with 2 one-and-a-half duvet covers.

Designed for married couples who prefer to cover themselves with various blankets.

Euro Maxi

The size of the duvet cover in this set is 220x240 cm, and the size of the sheet can reach 260x260 cm.

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.

Standard

Now you need to consider the standard sizes of bed linen. You definitely won't be able to make a mistake with this cheat sheet.

Single

They are becoming less and less common on sale due to their low prevalence. Single bed linen sets are difficult to find, but they are possible, and they have the following parameters:

1. Pillowcase: 50x70.
2. Duvet cover: 135x200.
3. Sheet: 110x200.

The set is intended for one person, so it comes with only 1 piece.

One and a half

The dimensions of a one-and-a-half bed sheet depend on the country of production. The set is designed for 1 person, but the set differs from a single set - there are often 2 pillowcases.

When purchasing, you need to be aware of the following subtleties:

1. The parameters of single-and-a-half underwear can be viewed by country of production. Italian duvet covers are narrower than others (140 centimeters) with a normal length. They are often bought for single beds.
2. In Austria and Germany, sets are sold without sheets. The rest of the package is complete.
3. If the package says “Single”, it means there is only 1 pillowcase included.

Double

Double bed linen is designed for an estimated width of 150 centimeters. A set of pillowcases varies from 2 to 4. An additional 2 can be decorative.

Often produced in China and the Russian Federation, very rarely in Germany and Austria. In the rest of the European mainland, the Euro maxi and Euro mini standards are common.

By the way, a double set of bed linen made in Germany also comes without a sheet.

Standard parameters:

1. Duvet cover: 220 by 180.
2. Bed sheet: 210-200 by 175.
3. Pillowcase: 50 to 70.

By the way, the 2nd bedroom bedding set is intended for 1 person and the set only includes 1 duvet cover.

Family

Family bedding set, also called “Duet”. From the name it is clear that it is intended for 2 people. He already includes a second duvet cover in the set. Also 1 large sheet and several pillowcases (from 2 to 4).

The standard sheet is designed for a bed 160-180 centimeters wide, but there are also larger models. As a rule, they are produced in Turkey, where large-sized bed linen is 5-10 centimeters wider. In Austria, on the contrary, the width is 5 less.

Therefore, it is more correct to choose a standard depending on the country of production.

Euro standard

Standard Euro sizes are slightly larger than Russian ones, so the sets are interchangeable. A domestic type blanket will be slightly smaller than a Euro duvet cover.

The set consists of 1 sheet, 1 duvet cover and 4 pillowcases (often: 2 for a square pillow, 2 for a rectangular pillow).

It is worth remembering that Euro bed linen is only a type of double model. Therefore, the set includes 1 duvet cover.

Euro maxi

The sizes of Euro maxi bed linen have been additionally increased. It is wider and is preferred by connoisseurs of personal space. The set will be too big for a regular double bed.

Euro maxi size is also called king size or “euro 2” because the sheet can reach 280x260.

By the way, there is also a Euro mini standard. The width is also Euro-standard bed linen, but the length is reduced - a maximum of 200 centimeters.

Children and teenagers

Children's bedding has a number of differences. Their dimensions do not match the standard ones. In addition, special fabrics for bedding that are highly hypoallergenic are selected.

Standard sizes of children's bedding look like this:

By the way, please note that the table takes into account a sheet with and without an elastic band. It is necessary to secure the fabric to the mattress.

You won't find sizes of baby bedding for a teenager's crib in stores. For them they take one-and-a-half beds and sofas.

For newborns

Bedding for a newborn crib is sold for several types of cribs.

Standards:

1. 60x110;
2. 60x120.

Often, long sheets are purchased for a short mattress because they can be rolled inward. Sometimes the kit comes with additional bumpers for the crib.

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.

1. Southern Path LLC specializes in the manufacture of silk blankets, and is a representative textile factory from China. The products will meet all safety requirements and are also of high quality.

But what to buy among such a variety?

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.

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.

Depending on the size of the bed and whether one person will sleep under the blanket or with his loved one, the size of the blanket is also selected.
The size of the blanket can be:

• single (or one-and-a-half) blanket;
• double blanket;
• Euro-size double blanket.

Blanket standards

Single one-and-a-half blankets

Standard size of one-and-a-half blanket

140x205 is the most common
single-size duvet size
, suitable for the classic Russian single-size bed linen with a duvet cover 145x215.
You can buy a blanket in this size from Primavelle, Horizon, Dargez, Oltex, Kingsilk, Asabella
and
Onsilk
. This size of blanket is the most common and familiar in Russia since Soviet times. This blanket is often called a “one and a half family” blanket, because They usually sheltered together on a single bed.

Sizes of one-and-a-half blankets – 150x200 ( Kingsilk

), 150x210 (
Primavelle, Tutshelk, Onsilk
), 155x200 (
Schlaraffia
), 155x215 (
Primavelle, Oltex, Asabella
), 155x220 (
Schlaraffia
) and 160x210 (
Kingsilk
) - perfectly fit the most common duvet cover size among many manufacturers in different countries - 160x220 . Choosing a set for such a blanket will not be difficult, and the choice will be unlimited.

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.

Kinds

Manufacturers of modern furniture use a system of standards, according to which all beds are classified by size.

Double

There are three basic sizes of a double blanket in Russia:

• 200x220 – it’s easy to buy European underwear for such a product;
• 195x215 - also considered a European standard, but not as popular;
• 175x205 - Soviet parameters; bed linen made in Russia is suitable for this product.

Sleeping people feel most comfortable under a double blanket. We should also highlight the rare size 220x240, it is called “euro maxi” and is suitable for very wide beds; it is difficult to select bedding for such a product, and it is often sewn to order.

One and a half

This type is chosen by couples who prefer to cover themselves with different products, and ordinary double underwear does not suit them.

• 155x215 is a practical and popular size, it is also called “euro-one and a half”; it is easiest to find bedding sets of this option in stores;
• 140x205 is a Russian standard that has existed since the times of the Soviet Union. Such products are bought for children.

It is mistakenly believed that the one-and-a-half blanket got its name due to the fact that one and a half people can hide under it, but in fact this is due to its width - 1.5 meters.

Advice! When choosing, consider the size of the bed; it should not be more than 50 cm larger than the product.

Personal space is important for people to sleep comfortably. The right purchase will save you from unnecessary tension on the bed linen and hanging on the floor.

Children's

The sizes of a baby blanket are not so varied:

• a duvet cover from 110x140 to 125x150 is used for a baby crib;
• for teenagers, standard characteristics range from 143x210 to 160x230.

Usually the product is selected taking into account the parameters of a crib, but small children open up during sleep, so purchase a slightly larger model.

Shortened versions are often used when walking in winter.

European models

European size depends on the general classification; for single and double euro products there are their own parameters indicated above.

The weight of the model directly depends on its dimensional parameters and filler. Products of the same size can have different weights, for example, a double wool blanket weighs almost two kilograms, while the same one made from down weighs only 900 grams.

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.

Baby blanket: sizes (standard for different ages)

If you are not going to sew a blanket and bed linen yourself, then you have to proceed from what the manufacturers offer. However, even when sewing it yourself, it makes sense to maintain the standard size of a baby blanket, since it is the most practical. In fact, there is no single standard in this matter, but most often the following options are found on sale:

Children's blanket: size table

Some manufacturers offer blankets whose length or width is not a multiple of 10 cm, and is, for example, 95 or 115 cm. In this case, you need to focus on a larger duvet cover size so that folds do not form inside it. Each standard option has its own purpose, which we will discuss in more detail. The sizes of children's blankets by age should be selected as follows:

• 80x80 cm (or its variants 85x85, 90x90 cm). The small square shape is most convenient for wrapping a newborn. It is purchased for discharge from the maternity hospital and used for swaddling in a stroller in cold weather. It is also suitable for babies who will immediately sleep in a crib, without a cradle. In the narrow space of the cradle, not exceeding 40 cm in width, it is difficult to place such a large canvas.
• 60x90 cm. A convenient size, which is convenient to use in a cradle, into which wide models will not fit. This size of baby blanket is also suitable for a crib, but only for babies who have not yet learned to roll over. If your older toddler is not inclined to toss and turn, the purchase will last you up to a year, but even after that it is convenient to use it to wrap the legs in a stroller or sled.
• 90x120 cm. Universal blanket size for a child 3 years old and younger. It is convenient for them to cover the baby, as it is possible to tuck it in from all sides. If the birth occurs at the end of spring or the beginning of summer, you don’t have to buy smaller sizes, since on a cool evening it is enough to cover the newborn baby with a warm diaper, and with the onset of cold weather, switch to this “half-adult” option. Just keep in mind that the dimensions of a baby blanket for a 3-year-old child will be impossible to fit into a stroller.
• 100x140 or 110x140 cm. Such a purchase will be actively used up to school age, but here everything is already determined by the time at which the growth spurt occurs, and many children continue to wrap themselves in their favorite blanket in primary school. If you decide to buy this option for a toddler under 3 years old, consider whether the blanket will fit in a crib, the standard dimensions of which are 60x120 cm.
• 140X200 cm. Quite an adult scale, which parents of a teenager will have to navigate. You can buy a full blanket 160x200 cm, but most collections of teenage bedding are still designed for a width of 140 cm. This size of blanket is also suitable for a 5-year-old child if he already sleeps in an adult bed.

Move away from standards

Needlewomen can afford any variations, without regard to the standards for finished products. If you feel inspired and have leftover fabrics at home, please your child with a piece made using the patchwork technique. The size of the baby quilt will be exactly what you find comfortable.

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.

One and a half blanket size

Sizes 1.5 sleeping blanket: standard

It would seem easy to estimate the size of such a blanket, because the dimensions are logically determined from the name itself.
But in fact, this particular type of bedding is in great demand and has many different options, which should definitely be taken into account when purchasing. Width and length are measured in centimeters (cm). So what is the standard size of a one-and-a-half size blanket? In Russia, the standard size for a one-and-a-half blanket is
140x205
cm.

This standard is applicable for both adults and children's/teenagers' double blankets. On sale you can also find products with dimensions of 140x200, 142x205, 143x205, 145x200 and 145x215 centimeters.

The Euro lorry is slightly larger: width 150-160, length 200-220 cm.

The size of the one-and-a-half-size blanket allows it to be used on single children's and one-and-a-half-size beds, mainly for one person. It is also popular to purchase these models for a double bed, so that each spouse can sleep under a separate blanket. This is convenient for couples who have different sleeping habits. There is even a separate type of bed linen set - family (aka “duet”), which contains two one-and-a-half duvet covers.

Single duvet cover size

The size of the one-and-a-half blanket and duvet cover, both length and width, should be in harmony with each other. It is important that the blanket in it does not dangle or bunch up in one corner, and also that it does not feel cramped and does not form folds or lumps.

When purchasing, be guided by the standard sizes of your blanket, this will help you decide on a suitable duvet cover. It can be purchased separately or included in the bedding set

To choose the right duvet cover, you need to follow the rule: its size should be with a small margin, as a rule, 5-7 cm larger than the duvet. Ideally, there should be a couple of free centimeters on each side.

Also keep in mind that for a thin blanket you need less reserve, and for a thick blanket a little more. With this approach, the blanket will be easily and uniformly tucked into the bed linen and you will enjoy covering yourself with it.

The most common Russian single size duvet cover is 145x215 cm, as well as its variations, plus or minus in one direction or another in length and width (for example: 143x215, 147x217 and others).

Do not underestimate the importance of correctly selected sleep attributes; they create the right atmosphere, comfort, and therefore healthier sleep. Make your choice responsibly, choose a 1.5-sleeping blanket that is right for you and your body will thank you.
