The size of the double bedding may vary significantly depending on the manufacturer. If earlier we calmly bought the standard “one and a half” and “double” suits for all pillowcases and duvet covers, now our heads are spinning around the “euro”, “king size”, “family” and many other sizes on the market. For a particular bed, it is important to choose the right double bedding set. The sizes of mattresses, pillowcases and duvet covers need to be measured before purchase in order to know exactly what to purchase.
An ordinary double bedding is a set of sheets, a duvet cover and two pillowcases. The width for the blanket is 180 cm. The length of the duvet cover may vary depending on the height of the person, usually it ranges from 210 cm to 215 cm.
A double Euro bedding set is designed for a standard double bed with a 200 cm wide blanket. Euro is the new standard bedding set that has come to our market and is widely used. It is characterized by the increased size of the duvet cover and sheets, it often has two pillowcases for pillows 50x70cm. Such pillows are more convenient than standard square 70x70cm for some people, because they save space on the bed and create comfortable support for the spine during sleep. In some European sets you can find four pillowcases - two rectangular and two square.
The family size of double bedding is characterized by a standard sheet and pillowcases, but two and a half quilt covers. This kit is perfect for lovers of sleeping together, but under different blankets.
The size of king size double bedding is different from the euro with a wide sheet and duvet cover, it is designed for a very wide, so-called three-bed bed. The width of the duvet cover can reach 260 cm.
When choosing a sheet, consider the thickness of the mattress; if the sheet is to be made up, add 10 cm on each side so that the fabric does not stray during sleep. In overseas bedding sets you can find sheets on an elastic band. They are convenient in that they can be worn on the mattress and no longer worry about the fabric getting loose. The only drawback of such sheets is that they are inconvenient to iron, since places with elastic have many folds. If this does not bother you, and you want to purchase a set of sheets with such a sheet, look for the designation "fitted sheet" on the package.
Sometimes bedding is assembled from objects of different sizes, for example, a duvet cover and pillowcases correspond to the characteristics of the "euro", and the sheet is needed on a large king size mattress. In this case, it becomes problematic to select the required size of double bedding, but you can sew it to order. Sewing a set of bed linen can also be convenient if you select the necessary fabric pattern. Suppose you want to refresh the interior of a bedroom with a certain color, but in stores the desired kit is not found. In addition, sewing linen will be cheaper than buying it.
When choosing a double bedding set, first of all measure all the blankets, pillowcases and mattress. In this case, choosing the right size will be much easier.
