What is euro size underwear. Bed linen sizes. What is the difference between a family and a duet and other nuances of size! poplin products

Bed linen of high quality and optimal sizes is the key to your sound sleep and pleasant awakening. But now there are a huge number of different types of kits on the market, which is just right to get confused. We will try to help you navigate the dimensional grid of euro-format bed linen.

Eurolinen for double beds

Today, almost the entire market is occupied by European-type underwear. Its ratio of length and width, as well as the equipment is somewhat different from the usual domestic models.

Within the European market, there are sets for single beds and special children's models that are designed for cribs for newborns and preschoolers.

But the leading positions in sales are occupied by sets for double beds. Consider the most common 2-bedroom models in more detail.

Euro standard

Euroset actually corresponds to double bed linen. However, the width of its accessories is slightly larger than that of the domestic set.

It includes:

• 1 duvet cover;
• 1 sheet;
• 2 or 4 pillowcases (50x70 and 70x70 cm - two of each size, or four of one) depending on the model.

Such bedding is universal, as it is suitable for a comfortable sleep of one person, and for couples.

Euro maxi

Euro-maxi, or Euro-2 is not suitable for ordinary double beds, it will simply fall off them. But if you have chosen for yourself a comfortable king-size bed (king size), this is exactly what you need.

The basic package includes:

• 1 duvet cover;
• 1 sheet;
• 2 or 4 pillowcases.

As you can see, both options are identical in their configuration, the only difference is in the dimensional grid. It's time to turn your attention to her.

Euro dimensions of the bed linen set in cm (table)

When choosing, it is very important to know the parameters of your bed, the size of the blanket and pillows, in order to correctly select the right model. The following are the European style bedding measurements in centimeters.

Now there is a huge selection of bed linen with different configurations and dimensions, which are sewn using different materials, and it is quite easy to get confused in this variety. Do not rush to make a decision, remember - the kit should not only be attractive in appearance and touch. Linen, correctly selected in size, will create the right atmosphere for sleep and relaxation, and will please you and your loved ones for a very long time.

A comfortable bed and linens that match perfectly with pillows and duvets are the formula for a comfortable sleep. Therefore, when choosing the next set of bedding, you should pay attention not only to the fabric and colors, but also to the dimensions.

Choosing the Right

We pick up a tape measure and measure the following parameters: the length and width of the mattress, pillows and blankets.

The sheet should be 80-100 cm wider than the mattress, and the duvet cover should be 5-6 cm wider and longer than the blanket.

If you have a wide non-standard bed with two one-and-a-half mattresses, then you can consider purchasing two identical one-and-a-half sets.

Bed linen differ not only in size, but also in the number of components. By type they are divided into:

• Single
• One and a half
• Double
• Family
• Baby
• For newborns

Sizes and complete set of bed linen for adults

Single bed

Today, single sets are not popular, and therefore they are quite rare on sale, table:

One and a half

Usually such a set consists of a duvet cover, a sheet, one or two pillowcases. Ideal for both single and single beds.

Double

The set includes a duvet cover, a sheet, two or four pillowcases. A great option for a sofa or bed where two adults sleep under one blanket.

Bed Euro

This is a new type of bed linen, which very quickly won the sympathy of many consumers. Its equipment is the same as that of a double, but the dimensions are slightly larger. Suitable for large double beds with orthopedic mattress and wide sofas.

Family

Ideal for those couples who prefer to sleep on the same bed, but under different blankets. The set consists of two duvet covers, a fitted sheet and two or four pillowcases.

Each manufacturer may have their own kit sizes, but they do not differ much from accepted standards. The table will help you choose the right bed linen.

Sizes of baby bed linen

baby

Today in stores you can find a wide variety of children's bedding. The set includes a duvet cover, a sheet and 1 pillowcase.

Sizes of baby bedding:

For teenagers, a regular one and a half set of bed linen is perfect.

Bedding for newborns

Here the main selection criterion is the quality and naturalness of fabrics. The sizes of bed linen for newborns directly depend on the standard sizes of a crib. A fairly convenient option for children is a sheet with an elastic band, which is selected according to the size of the mattress.

Some manufacturers sometimes offer complete sets for the crib, which, in addition to bed linen, also includes a blanket, pillow, pocket and side.

Foreign bed linen

Foreign manufacturers designate sizes in English letters:

Double or full - double bedding set (5 centimeters larger)

Extra long single - one and a half set of bed linen, but the sizes are slightly larger

Single or twin - single bedding set

King size - a set for a large bed

Family - family bedding set

Queen - complies with Euro bed linen standards

Children or Baby bed - children's sets.

European lingerie sizes

European manufacturers sometimes produce incomplete sets (without sheets). Before buying, carefully study the complete set of bed linen.

US lingerie sizes

* in centimeters

In American bedding sets, quite often, instead of a regular duvet cover, there may be a sheet that is attached to the duvet with buttons or zippers. Before buying, carefully check the availability of a duvet cover.

The sizes of imported pillowcases often do not match the sizes of domestic pillows. Each country has its own size standards for bed linen. Let's try to figure them out.

On the picture:

Bedding is called “linen” for a reason: to look beautiful on pillows or a duvet, it must be the right size.

I am against ready-made bedding sets. Self-selected ensembles are more individual. It is only important to avoid variegation; it is worth choosing one item in a solid color, the second with a discreet pattern, and the third with an accent. For example, a plain sheet, a checkered bedspread and pillowcases with large flowers. Such experiments are especially appropriate in the interior of country style, Provence.

Russian or Western?

To the roulette shop. When buying an imported set, for example, euro bed linen, it should be borne in mind that each country has different size standards. The terms familiar to us (single or double set) do not work in the case of imported linen. Family bed linen in sets of Russian and foreign production differ greatly in the size of duvet covers and sheets.

So, foreign manufacturers of bedding offer us the following options: single sets - single (or twin), one and a half - extra long single, double - double (or full) and enlarged - queen (approximately equal to our "euro") and king size (designed for very large bed). Those. category "Eurostandard bed linen" is rather conditional. For newborns, there are babby bed sets.

Keep in mind that different countries have different standard pillowcase sizes. For example, in France the most common pillows are 65x65 cm, in Germany 80x80, and in Italy 50x70. Measure your pillow before buying a pillowcase!

Completeness of the set

No sheets... Domestic GOST was compiled with the expectation of married couples: family bedding in a standard set is a sheet, a duvet cover and two pillowcases. But abroad, incomplete sets of bedding are also actively sold (without sheets, for example). Or there is a sheet, but it is non-standard - with an elastic band. Stretch sheets are convenient because they do not wrinkle and do not slip, due to the fact that they are fixed on the mattress. But during ironing, you will have to tinker with them: the presence of elastic bands and side cloths complicate the process. If this does not scare you, then look for the fitted sheet designation on the laundry packaging.

... or without duvet cover Instead of a regular duvet cover, Americans often use snap-on sheets (with buttons or zippers) or sheets that fold over the edge of the duvet at the head of the bed. Therefore, when purchasing an American-made bedding set, you should be prepared that instead of a duvet cover there will be a sheet that needs to be fastened to a duvet.

An example of a domestic textile set, which, in addition to a set of bed linen, includes other accessories - several decorative pillows and a bedspread.

Variants of sets for winter and summer. Summer set, as a rule, consists of a sheet and two pillowcases. The euro bedding set usually includes a duvet cover and two pillowcases, and a sheet may be completely absent. It will have to be purchased separately. Sometimes there can be four pillowcases in the headset at once - two standard and two with piping, the latter are more elegant and repeat the pattern of the duvet cover, and the square ones are plain, matching the color of the sheet.

Each of us at least once in his life woke up on a bare mattress with a stray sheet, considering the cause of this restless sleep. But the whole point is in the wrong size of the one that got lost, slipped, “ran away”.

So that you do not find yourself in such situations, today we will tell you how to navigate in all the variety of sizes of euro sheets and their standard “sisters” in order to buy the right one for your bed.

When choosing a sheet, pay attention to its size.

Today, few people buy separate bedding, because they need to be selected according to design, color, type of fabric, and so on. Therefore, most prefer to buy bed linen sets (KPB). But here, too, you can go wrong. After all, the sheet from the kit may not be the right size for you. Then too narrow one will move along the bed, and too wide one will bristle and hang ugly from it. So what to do to buy such a product on which you can sleep peacefully?

Before making a purchase, you must:

• measure the dimensions of the mattress and buy a sheet 80–100 cm larger;
• take into account that the initial parameters of the product may change during washing, since natural fabrics shrink by several centimeters;
• remember that the Russian-made 1-bed adult set includes a one-and-a-half size sheet;
• pay attention to the label. If the dimensions are indicated by three numbers, for example, 180x260 + 30 or 220x240 + side 50 (the last number shows the height of the side), then the product is on an elastic band.

Basic sheet sizes

Each part of the bed linen set has certain parameters.

A single standard operates throughout Russia, where each element of the linen set is approved by GOST.

The range of sheets is divided into:

• single;
• one and a half;
• double;
• family;
• children's.

With the parameters of domestic kits, everything is simple and clear, but what about European kits? But they do not have clearly defined mandatory dimensions, their spread is very large. We will talk about this a little lower.

Standard sizes

Even with standards, sometimes there are many questions. Therefore, for your convenience, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the following information.

Summary table of the main approved standards

Remember that when sewing the product, a deviation of several centimeters in length or width is possible.

Now that you have got acquainted with all the positions of the size range, we will consider each of them separately in more detail.

Single

A single sheet, included in sets from Russian manufacturers, is extremely rare, except perhaps in teenage CPB. The parameters of this model range range from 110 x 200 to 120 x 210 cm.

If a single bed is purchased for an adult, then it is better to cover it with one and a half. They are easier to refuel, they will not stray and interfere with restful sleep.

Attention! Russian sets of single bedding, as a rule, include a one and a half size sheet.

One and a half

The most popular size for a one-and-a-half sheet is 145 x 214 cm. It is perfect for one adult of average build. It is not recommended to cover a single bed with a smaller product.

On sale there are always various options for one and a half bedding:

• Chinese and Russian products are the same in width and are in the range of 140–150 cm.
• European and American - over 155 cm.
• Turkish sheets are close in size to double sheets.

Double

The main size of a Russian-made double sheet is 195 x 215 cm. In addition to it, double products of the following parameters are produced: 175 x 210 cm, 175 x 215 cm, 195 x 220 cm; 210 x 230 cm, 220 x 215 cm, 220 x 220 cm, 240 x 260 cm. So the choice is huge, you can always choose what is more convenient for you.

The family set includes double sheets of large dimensions: 220 x 240, 240 x 280. Such products are perfect for those who each sleep under their own blanket.

Children's sizes

Children's size range of sheets is very diverse. The specific product is selected according to the age and height of the child. For your choice are:

• 120 x 150 cm - for newborns (suitable for a standard size crib no more than 125 cm);
• 60 x 120, 80 x 120, 100 x 150 cm - for toddlers;
• 115 x 147 cm - for a child over three years old;
• 110 x 145 cm - especially for preschool institutions;
• 120 x 150 cm, 150 x 210 cm, 150 x 214 cm, 180 x 260 cm - for teenagers.

The Children euro set includes a sheet measuring 120 x 170 cm, and the Baby bed/Crib set includes a 60 x 120 cm sheet with a sewn-in elastic band.

The US-made set is labeled Baby bed and includes sheets:

• Sheet size 107 x 183 cm;
• Fitted Sheet with elastic - size 71 x 132 cm.

euro sheet size

Separately, it is worth talking about the euro sheets. Recently, this product has become increasingly popular with buyers. This is explained by its large size, exceeding the parameters of Russian products. It fits with a margin both on regular double beds and custom-made beds. The largest standard euro sheet size is 229 x 274 cm.

EURO bed linen is produced not only by European countries, but also by manufacturers in the USA, China, India - precisely in compliance with Euro sizes.

By the name of the kit, you can safely determine its size range (all parameters are indicated in centimeters):

• single / twin (single) -183 x 274, with an elastic band - 90 x 190;
• King size (half-sleeping) - 180 x 240;
• double / full (double) - 200 x 220, with an elastic band - 140 x 190;
• king / queen (larger size) - 274 x 297, 320 x 305, with an elastic band - 150 x 200, 180 x 200;
• Toddler (children's) - 115 x 152;
• Double (double children's) - 137 x 188.

Additional markings to help you navigate the world of euro sheets:

• Euro sheet, the size of which is marked “Inch”, means the measurements in inches.
• Fitted sheet - indicates a product with an elastic band.
• Fitted valance is a frilled sheet with an elastic band.
• Threadcount - fabric density (number of threads per square inch of fabric).

We are sure that now you can easily deal with any inscription on the labels of European products.

What to look for when buying

All the information above was a kind of cheat sheet for you to determine the right size and a specific model of the bed sheet.

1. Try to buy products of famous brands, they always give a full description of their product on the label. Of course, they are not cheap, but you will be sure of the quality.

   Important! An inexpensive purchase can be made in a handicraft way without observing dimensional standards, in unsanitary conditions, and the fabric itself is of poor quality.

2. High-quality bed linen is stitched with a straight linen seam, without shaggy edges and thread loops, and the threads correspond in color to the overall tone of the product.
3. Look carefully - the canvas should not consist of sewn pieces, it should be solid.
4. It is desirable that the fabric is natural, pleasant to the body and does not scratch the skin, does not cause allergies, and has good wear resistance.
5. Be sure to check the density of the material. If it is not indicated on the label, then it is difficult to determine it visually. A product with a horizontal weave of threads will lose its appearance in just 3-5 washes. The densest fabrics are made from Chinese or Japanese silk, their cost is significant, but they will last a long time.
6. The sheet should smell like textiles, not chemicals.

   Important! A strong chemical odor indicates a low-quality dye.

7. Both sides of the product should not differ greatly in color saturation. With a large difference, the product will quickly shed in just a few washes. The quality of the dye can be trusted if the label indicates that the sheet can be washed at a water temperature of +60°C.

We tried to give you the most complete and detailed information on the topic of our article.

We hope that using the sheet size table, a detailed description of each size range of products, decoding of euro-markings, you will definitely buy the linen of the required parameters. And using our advice, you will get a high quality product that will give you and your loved ones a pleasant and restful sleep, cheerfulness and good mood.

Textiles for bed linen refers to this type of product that is purchased in sets. Most often, we are used to focusing on standard sizes - semi-sleeping and double.

In this case, more than ever, you need to have a hint at hand. A table with the sizes of bed linen in this case will help out a lot. In this review, we will introduce you to different options for labeling home textiles for sleep, and tell you what to look for when choosing sets of Russian and foreign production.

Types of bed linen for adults from Russian manufacturers

Modern sewing production has gone from the strict framework of the Soviet era, when there was a strict GOST for bed linen. A wide variety of related products (blankets, and) dictates its own rules in order to meet the realities of the time, manufacturers often violate standard requirements and vary its sizes to their liking. In some cases, the final dimensions of the bed linen purchased “for a very expensive price” vary from about 5 to 10 centimeters.

Interesting fact! The last time GOST, which establishes standard sizes for bed linen in Russia, was adopted in 2006. Even then, it included several sizes for duvet covers and pillows.

For information, we present the most popular sizes of kits (with data on the configuration) used by most sewing workshops.

Sizes of bed linen for single and one and a half sets

The concept of "single set" today remains only in reference books of the Soviet era. In household use, it is used except perhaps, recalling the old metal beds with armored mesh or summer holidays in pioneer camps. Now, if you can find such a set, then rather it will come with a marking for when the length of the pillowcase is slightly longer than that of children's sets. In single sets, unlike one and a half, there is one pillowcase (in one and a half there are usually two of them).

A comment

Design studio "Uyutny Dom"

"Russian bedding sets contain all the traditional elements: a duvet cover, two pillowcases and a sheet. Whereas European sets can be somewhat "reduced": you can miss either pillowcases or a duvet cover.

Sizes of bed linen for double and family sets

As we can see from the picture, the family set differs from the “double” set in size. Are you wondering what exactly is included in the family bedding set? You can’t guess with the sizes here - the European set has one duvet cover, the family one has two different duvet covers. And it’s hard to say what size for the halves the manufacturers decide to “cut” into.

In double sets on orthopedic rigid sheets with elastic or sheets-covers are especially popular. They are literally put on the mattress. In this case, even if you toss and turn in your sleep, you do not risk waking up on a bare mattress (but on the floor - how!). At the end of our publication, we will talk about them in more detail.

By the way, family kits from manufacturers in different countries have different sizes, which differ from those familiar to Russian buyers. The most popular importing countries are China, Turkey, Austria, Italy and Germany. The sizes of bed linen of euro sets are shown in the table.

Sizes of bed linen euro and euro-maxi sets

The concept of euro and euro-maxi in the same GOST, which we mentioned at the very beginning of the article, did not exist. This is, in fact, the fashion of the last decade. Probably, Europe in this way decides to separate from everything Asian, as if opposing or even in some way imposing its own interpretation of what the fashion for bed linen should be.

The traditional maximum sizes of bed linen are from Turkish manufacturers. The sheet in such a set can be of two options: 270 × 310 and 290 × 310 cm. For comparison, the domestic set for - 220 × 240 cm.

For your information! In some kits, there may be additional numbers in the marking. For example, 120×220+30. The last number is the stock of the sheet with an elastic band (fold), and if you come across such a designation 70 × 70 + 5, in this case we are talking about the size of the decorative edging on the pillowcases.

Bed linen for adults of foreign manufacturers

In Europe and America, the sizes of bed linen are directly dependent and copy the names of the types.

Standard sizes and markings of European bed linen

“It is clear that nothing is clear.” It is with such thoughts that a buyer from Russia enters a bed linen store in any European locality. If with single sets, which most often have a simple inscription “Single”, our compatriot who more or less owns “imported” can figure it out, but with spacious “King size”, most likely, he will immediately come to a standstill. You will be lucky if you stumble upon this marking option:

• "1 bed"− single;
• "1.5 bed"− one and a half;
• "2 bed"- double.

In fairness, it should be noted that for the most part, the Russian buyer is primarily interested in the size of a 2-bed bedding set. It is referred to as "2-bed". The rest can be seriously different from the sizes we are used to, and they are not worth the risk.

Interestingly, Turkish bed linen is characterized by increased sizes. In the "1.5-bed" set you will receive a set with the following initial values: duvet cover - 160x220 cm, bed sheet - 180x240 or 180x260 cm. Pillowcases - 50x70 (2 pcs.), 50x70 ( 1 piece), or 70×70 cm (1 piece).

Standard sizes and markings of American bed linen

In America, instead of the traditional "one and a half" and "double" sets, we get names quite in the spirit of the conservative West: king size bedding or, for example, elongated single. Are there any direct analogues to Russian sizes of bed linen - in the correspondence table, we tried to find the answer to this question.

Types of baby bedding Standard with size tables

Children's bed linen is always a special control and special care of adults. In addition to the choice of material, the quality of the seams, the size, the type of fasteners (or better, their absence) and safety for the crumbs are of great importance.

Bed linen for newborns

The size and shape (and this also happens, for example, there are sets of mattresses and bedding for round beds) directly depend on the bed where the child will be. Most often, bed linen has standard sizes:

1. Sheet options: 120x60 (with elastic), 120x180, 110x150 cm.
2. Cushion cover: 45×45 and 35×45 cm.
3. Duvet cover (depending on the duvet): 100x150 and 100x140 cm.

Bed linen for children and teenagers

Bed linen for children, for the most part, "grows" with the crumbs. For many Russian families, the first bed linen for the baby is simply transferred with him to a new, more spacious bed. And here it all depends on the dimensions - width and length.

Teenage sets are close or fully correspond to what are the sizes of bed linen for a one and a half - adult. Most often they differ only in color and the number of pillowcases: in most cases there is one, less often two. Turkish and Austrian sets are the most dimensional, suitable even for an adult.

Interesting fact! In American families, you can find an unusual variation of the blanket - a sheet with Velcro, buttons or a zipper, which is fastened to the blanket.

As it became clear from our review, bed linen sizes can vary greatly. Before going to the store, it is better to measure some sizes, let's start with the mattress.

Do not forget that the sheet should hang a little from the sides, and in some cases completely hide the ends of the mattress.

How to choose a plain and stretched sheet for a double and single bed in size

There are two main types of sheets:

1. Simple. Ideal calculation: the width of the bed + the total height of the mattress with an increase of about 5 cm. The greater the width and height of the sheet, the less it will gather and crumple.
2. Stretch. We will make a reservation right away, such kits will cost a little more. The label on the package with such a sheet includes the “naked” dimensions of the bed - the length and width of your mattress. Additionally, the height of the side is usually indicated simply with a plus sign: +30 cm or + side 50 cm.

How to choose a double and single duvet cover size

Lay a blanket on the mattress and measure it. And add another 5 cm to its length and width (this is an allowance for height, because the blanket can be with a feather bed or down). When measuring pillows (for the same reasons), add another 2-3 cm for width and height. When choosing a duvet cover, we take into account:

1. Possible shrinkage in washing. Linen or cotton changes greatly after washing in size - shrinkage can reach 5 or even 7 centimeters.
2. As well as the error (on both sides - yours and the manufacturer). Keep in mind that manufacturers of cheap underwear do not guarantee sizing accuracy. As a matter of fact, the high quality of the product.

How to choose pillowcases

And it is these sizes of pillowcases that are most often found in bedding sets from the USA. As we noted above, always add a margin - 2 or 3 centimeters to the size of the pillow. When buying, pay attention to the cut of the product. This is especially true for models with ruffles, their size will always be + to the size of the pillow itself.

A comment

Design studio "Uyutny Dom"

"The French and Germans like to buy square pillows (in the first case, 65x65 cm, in the second - 80x80 cm), but the Spaniards and Italians, with all the wealth of choice, will prefer rectangular ones, usually 50x70 cm.

Also, pay attention to the depth of the pillowcase flap. It must be at least 20 cm and fastened with buttons, Velcro or a zipper. Most often, the dimensions of these valves are not indicated anywhere. In this case, you can ask for a test sample or clarify this point with the seller.

The seams in the kit must be double. And if you look at the light, you can evaluate the density of the fabric. If the canvas is rare and heterogeneous, then the kit will not last long. The more contrast the print, the higher the risk of getting faded linen, bright elements will look much dimmer than bed linen of uniform and even shades.
