Bed linen size chart

The modern frantic pace of life rarely allows you to relax. In this regard, the need for a comfortable, full rest increases. Most often, at home, you can only relax in the bedroom. Therefore, a well-appointed room with conveniently located furniture, decorated to suit the needs of the resident, plays an important role. A well-appointed sleeping area will allow you to relax, drive away the fatigue accumulated during the day. In order for sleep to take place in comfort and coziness, it is necessary to choose the right bed linen.

When choosing a set, you need to understand who it is intended for. There is a huge difference between a set for adults and children, and especially babies. Incorrectly selected bedding elements can cause poor sleep. Small sheets will roll up, forming folds that interfere with a good night's sleep. A duvet cover that is too large can "swallow" the blanket or gather it to one side.

Manufacturers have taken into account all possible options for organizing the sleeping area. The presented assortment allows you to select a complete set of bedroom furniture for a sofa, bed, even a folding bed.

Bed linen for adults.

The market offers a wide range of linen suitable for various formats of beds, sofas. It is possible to purchase a ready-made set or in parts.

Ready-made sets differ in size and number of items presented. Also, it is worth paying close attention to the manufacturer. The length and width of the elements will depend on the country of manufacture.

There are six standard "adult" types, differing in length and width, based on which it is easy to select a suitable set:

In all the presented variations, the pillowcases are of the same scale. They can be presented in a square or rectangular shape. You should pay attention to this, and, in order to avoid possible discomfort, select a set for the pillows used at home. Family and royal sets can be equipped with the same or different pillowcases.

Single bed options are the least popular among consumers, which is why they are quite rare. They are most often presented in the line of children's bed linen.

One-and-a-half sets have rightfully won their niche in the market. They are convenient to use both for a sleeping place for 1 person and on wider beds.

Double beds are intended for couples who prefer to sleep under a common blanket. Russian and foreign-made sets are similar in composition, differing only in parameters.

European ones are presented in a larger width and length. Due to this, they are more convenient to use and are suitable for a wider range of sleeping places. Due to the larger sheet, they are well fixed under the mattress of the bed, even without elastic bands along the edges of the product. It is worth noting that when choosing a "Euro" set, you must carefully read the specified dimensions of the elements. Depending on the country of manufacture, the sizes of bed linen will vary greatly.

The "family" option is ideal for those who like their "own" blanket. The set contains two single duvet covers, which adds extra comfort if someone likes to "take away" the blanket.

The "royal" version is distinguished by the largest dimensions of the elements. This is due to the family traditions of Europe. Initially, it was accepted that a married couple should have large-sized bedroom furniture with, of course, a wide matrimonial bed. The number of duvet covers can vary from 1 to 2. The couple can choose the necessary option themselves, focusing on their preferences regarding comfortable sleep.

Sleepwear for children.

When choosing children's bedding, you should take into account the age of the child to whom the set is being reassigned.

Newborn babies are selected completely under the crib. Usually, the sheet can be enlarged rectangular, for good fixation under the mattress. Modern models, for ease of use, offer a choice of models "on an elastic band". The pillowcase is a small rectangle in which a special pillow for the little ones should be located. Duvet covers, on average, are 10 centimeters smaller than sheets. Also, sets can be supplemented with special soft sides on the walls of the crib.

When choosing for preschoolers and teenagers, you should focus on the parameters of the sleeping place and the age of the child. The pillow, as well as for babies, is presented only in a rectangular shape.

Teenager sets are quite close in size to single and one-and-a-half “adult” sets.

Standard formats can be found below.

We choose correctly

To decide what type of set to choose, you need to measure the sleeping area. Armed with a tape measure, measure the width and length of the mattress, pillows, and blanket. Add 80-100 centimeters to the results for the width of the mattress, and 5-6 centimeters for the duvet cover to the data of the blanket.

For a bed of large non-standard dimensions, with two mattresses, you can consider the option of using two single-and-a-half sets.
