When you are faced with the choice of bed linen for yourself or for a gift, there are quite a lot of questions about its quality and size. A double bed linen set can be difficult to choose, because today there are such varieties as family linen, a set with a euro-sheet - and this is in addition to the standard double kit.
Sizes of double bed linen
Before going to the store or ordering clothes online, you need to arm yourself with a centimeter tape and measure your bed. And not only the length and width of the mattress , but also blankets and pillows. The figures obtained so far are not necessary dimensions of the bed, since the size of the blankets should be added at 5 cm, and the sheet should be wider than the mattress by 80-100 cm.
So, you know the size, but now you need to understand the difference between euro bed linens from a double bed and a family one. First let's talk about the size of a standard double kit . They include one sheet, two or four pillowcases and one duvet cover. Their dimensions may be slightly different:
- quilt cover - 175x210, 175x215, 180x210 or 180x215;
- pillowcases - 50x70, 60x60, 70x70;
- sheets - 220x240 and 240x260 (the most common), 175x210, 175x215, 210x230, 215x220.
Euro-linen differs from a double-sized one with larger dimensions. As a rule, the blanket and sheets are wider here, which is simply necessary for those who have a wide bed. The sizes of euro-clothes are:
- quilt cover - 200x220, 220x240;
- pillowcases - 50x70, 70x70;
- sheets - 220x250, 240x270, 240x215, 240x260, 240x280.
As for the family kits , they do not have one big duvet cover, but two sesquialteros to be able to sleep on the same bed under two different blankets. The dimensions of bed linen are as follows:
- Duvet covers - 145x215, 150x210, 150x215, 155x215 or 160x220;
- pillowcases - 50x70, 70x70;
- sheets - 240x260, 240x280.
The subtleties of choosing bed linen for a double bed
Since the double bed linen even in its specific category may differ slightly in size, carefully study the packaging of the product, so as not to be disappointed that the sheet is dragged along the floor or, conversely, barely covers the mattress, and blankets are completely "drowned" in the duvet covers.
The shape of the pillow is also important - a rectangular pillow can be put into a square pillowcase or the last one can be sewn, but on the contrary - it will not work. But in order not to have to fold the pillowcase and remodel it, just buy the right bed model.
