KPB sizes table. Sizes of bed linen - sleeping sets. Storage conditions and care

We believe that a bed should not only be comfortable, but also beautiful. And the sizes of double bed linen, if chosen correctly, will ensure both the comfort of using textiles and the excellent appearance of the entire room. Let's take a closer look at the issue.

Standards, general information

First, let's talk about double bed linen, its dimensions in centimeters, which are considered the official standard. As an example, let’s take a table with parameters according to GOST from 2005, valid for Russia and some countries of the former USSR. Pay attention to the minimum width of the sheet for a double set: only 138 cm. This is easily explained by GOST standards (also 2005) for household furniture, according to which the minimum width of a double bed is 110 cm.

Parameters of double bed linen according to GOST:

At the moment, textile manufacturers are not obliged to strictly follow the dimensions of a double bed linen set, the standards of which are prescribed in GOST: these figures are rather advisory in nature. Today there are no strict regulations regarding the parameters of bed linen in other countries that import bed linen to Russia. Therefore, what today we call “standard sizes” are parameters based on reality: the width of a bed or sofa, usually called double, starts from 140 cm.

European standard double bed linen

In most countries, it plays the same role as in our country - an ordinary double, differs only in parameters. By the way, they are the same almost everywhere, sometimes with a difference of 5-10 cm in a larger direction. You no longer need to rack your brains about what size double bed linen is suitable for a 160x200 bed; the best option is Euro standard. And among the Italian sets you can find ones that will be just right for a mattress 2 meters wide.

• 1 duvet cover.
• 1 sheet.
• Pillowcases – 2 pcs. 70x70 cm and 2 pcs. 50x70 cm.

This double set of pillowcases comes in almost all sets of double bed linen, marked as Euro-standard. Therefore, here you will either have to buy additional rectangular pillows, or figure out how to use the “extra” elements.

Choosing the right product size

As you already understand, for double bed linen there is no single standard that manufacturers would strictly follow today. There is only a certain range within which the parameters of one or another type of home textile should fit. Theoretically, you can buy any set with suitable markings and use it. After all, bedding won't stop being so if you miss by 5-10 centimeters. But if we want a comfortable stay, then we should still focus our attention on the numbers indicated on the packages.

Built from little things. Some of them are more significant, others are not so important. But everything together determines the home atmosphere and either promotes friendly family communication or hinders it. One of these little things that spouses sometimes unfairly ignore is bed linen.

Importance for the interior

First of all, bed linen plays an important role in shaping the interior. To give your bedroom a certain mood, you can take advantage of a wide selection of sets from many brands.

By exploring store shelves and catalogs of electronic trading platforms, you can find many excellent options for bed linen. At the same time, the buyer is not limited in the choice of colors and materials. But we must take into account that when choosing family linen, sizes are also very important.

You don't need to be an interior design expert to say that the perception of a room depends on such a seemingly unnoticeable component as bed linens. For example, to create a romantic atmosphere, you can purchase a set with a soft pink tint made of fabric with an alluring and mysterious gloss. There are a lot of options to diversify your bedroom interior.

For a married couple

Surely you have an idea of ​​what a family bedding set looks like - its sizes can be different depending on your needs. First, it’s worth saying how the concept of a family set differs from a double set.

You may have seen pictures on packages showing a man and a woman lying on a bed, with a child between them. In this way, manufacturers want to indicate that this is a kit for the whole family. In fact, family bed linen, the sizes of which cannot be called strictly fixed, differs from double bed linen only in the presence of two duvet covers. Otherwise everything is the same. But this small difference makes a big difference.

How often a humorous, and sometimes serious, struggle for the same blanket unfolds between spouses. Although such a thing unites spouses to some extent, the inconveniences sometimes still outweigh all the advantages. Therefore, bed linen (family set) comes in very handy for many married couples!

How to choose?

When you buy a family bed linen set, the dimensions must be taken into account. What are they? Duvet covers - no more than 1.6 x 2.2 meters. As for the sheets, its format is identical to the same element of any double set. The width is from 1.8 to 2.6 meters, and the length is from 2 to 2.6 meters. The pillowcases are also standard. Their size is either 50 x 70 or 70 x 70.

Naturally, to choose the option that suits you, you need to take into account the dimensions of the bed, as well as the pillows. By carefully taking measurements, you can purchase a wonderful bedroom set that will decorate the room even in cases where you do not have time to clean your bed.

What else should you pay attention to?

A very important factor by which you should choose a family bedding set is size, but this criterion is not the only one. It is important to pay attention to the quality of production of the product and the material from which it is made.

It is based on a complex weave of threads of different thicknesses. This is the fabric that is used to create luxury bedding sets. The wear resistance of jacquard is amazing: the material remains unchanged throughout many washes.

Bed linen: what materials are used

As for the material from which bed linen is made, the best option is natural fabrics:

cotton(cambric, calico, chintz, satin) - the most inexpensive, it is easy to wash and iron, it does not slip, but wrinkles and shrinks a little when washed;

linen– very durable and wear-resistant, absorbs moisture well, but wrinkles very much and is difficult to iron;

silk– the most expensive material, lightweight, hygroscopic, breathable, pleasant to the body, easy to wash and iron.

And one more thing: in the store, be sure to carefully examine the packaging, pay attention to the information - it should be very detailed, indicating the company’s address and the composition of the fabric. If the seams along the edges of the product are poorly processed, or you suddenly notice a strong smell, this is a reason to doubt the integrity of the manufacturer and refrain from purchasing a low-quality product.

And in order not to buy low-quality goods, try to choose bed linen from leading manufacturers. So you can be sure of the quality of the material, coloring and tailoring. This is especially important if you are purchasing bedding sets for children and newborns.

By “bed linen” we mean a set consisting of two pillowcases, a sheet and a duvet cover. Standard sizes have changed a lot over time. Before you go to the store, you need to correctly determine the size of the bed linen and choose which set you need. Depending on the size, bedding sets can be divided into:

Single and one-and-a-half bed linen sets

Single and one-and-a-half bed linens are designed for one adult in size. Single bed sheets, popular in the 20th century, are rarely sold today. Bed linen for a single bed has dimensions: pillowcase 50x70 cm, duvet cover 135x200 cm and sheet 110x200 cm.

One-and-a-half-length linen is more widespread, because it can also be used for a single bed. Combinations of width and length sizes of one-and-a-half bed linen vary depending on the bed and the person’s preferences:

• pillowcases: 70x70 cm or 50x70 cm;

For newborn children, you should buy high-quality hypoallergenic bedding made from natural fabrics. The sizes of bedding for newborns depend on the size of the crib:

Manufacturers also offer complete sets for the crib, which also includes a baby blanket, pillow, pocket and side.

European and American standard sizes of bed linen differ from those accepted here by 10-15 cm. The following designations are used in the sizes of imported bed linen: “king size” - linen for a very large bed; “2-bed” and “full” – double bed linen; “1.5-bed” and “extra long single” – one-and-a-half-length underwear; “1-bed” and “single” – single bed linen; “children” – baby linen for cribs up to 125 cm long.

Bed linen is a necessary thing in every home. However, choosing the right kit is not so easy. Depending on the size of the blanket, mattress, pillows, the product may vary. For example, a 2-bedroom apartment, which may differ, belongs to both the “family” category and the “euro” category. In a word, when purchasing such a thing, you need to thoroughly understand what you need.

2-bed bedding - sizes of duvet cover, pillowcases, sheets

So, let's choose the appropriate model. What should double bed linen be like? Its dimensions are, in principle, standard. However, there are some nuances...

Duvet covers, for example, are almost all the same. But there are still different options - 180×200, 180×215, 200×220 cm. Sheets - from 175×210 to 240×260 cm. Pillowcases - from 50×70 to 50×70 cm.

It’s worth paying attention to the moment when you go to purchase double bed linen - Euro sizes are the most popular. Duvet covers - 200x220, 220x240 cm, sheets - 240x280 cm, pillowcases - 70x70, 50x70 cm.

And another option is family bedding. These sets include 2 duvet covers 160×210 or 160×220 cm, a sheet 240×280 cm, pillowcases 70×70, 50×70 cm.

Different countries have different standards

By the way, it’s worth paying attention to some other points. In different countries, double bed linen sizes are also different. In addition, its execution options are also completely different. For example, pillowcases can have a wraparound flap, a zipper, or buttons. The shape of duvet covers can also be different, for example, in the form of a pocket or an envelope. The sheets are also different. They can be standard - rectangular, or they can have an elastic band.

In a word, sizes and models of double bed linen depend on the manufacturer, the country, and sometimes on the wishes of the customer. If you decide to choose something individual, unusual, original, the main thing is to decide what you need.

Choose the right sizes

So, you went to the store... You will see a wide variety of 2-bed bedding. Dimensions are something you can't go wrong with. First of all, think about what you sleep on. That is, about the size of your bed, blanket, mattress, pillows.

The most important thing is that the width of the sleeping place should be enough so as not to restrict a person’s freedom while sleeping.

Beautiful and correctly selected double bed linen, the dimensions in centimeters of which are the first thing you should pay attention to, is one of the important elements for your bedroom.

By the way, there is one more nuance! The numbers indicated on the packaging should be studied very carefully. The sizes of pillowcases, duvet covers and sheets, even in one set, can sometimes be non-standard. Everything again depends on the manufacturer.

And one more thing - owners of luxury beds quite often use two single mattresses instead of one large one. Therefore, it may be much easier to purchase one-and-a-half sets... They are easier to wash and iron.

Two different standards

In general, it doesn’t matter whether the 2-bed bedding will have Euro sizes or other sizes. Each category has its own system of measures. Today there are two of them - metric and English. The latter is used, as a rule, by US manufacturers. Well, the metric system is the prerogative of Europeans. In the USA, linen is defined in inches and feet. In Russia, Italy, Germany and other European countries - in meters and centimeters. Therefore, the “standards” are slightly different.

In short, when you decide to purchase a good set, accurately measure your beds and various bedding items. Look at the country of origin. However, also pay attention to the quality and colors, as well as the demand for this particular linen. Size is not such an important factor when compared with other things. Fabric, design, tailoring - all this is the most important thing in any model of double bed linen.

Thus, if you decide to make such a purchase, look at many nuances. Every moment plays an important role. Don't forget about it! “Size matters,” but that’s not the most important thing! It is much more important to choose something that suits both you and your partner. A correctly selected set will bring comfort to your bedroom, and will bring you a good mood, a pleasant and restful sleep.
