Blanket sizes

For good health, every person needs a healthy sleep every night. And to get a good night's sleep and feel truly rested, you need a comfortable bed, a pillow and, of course, a blanket. Choosing the right blanket for a comfortable sleep is not as easy as it seems at first glance, because currently manufacturers offer a huge variety of all kinds of bedspreads. They differ in materials of manufacture, fillers and sizes. It is necessary to choose the ideal option for a specific case, having studied the main characteristics.

When choosing a blanket, it is important to choose the right size. Given the variety of models available and the range of sizes on offer, this is not always easy. The blanket should be chosen depending on the size of the bed and the number of people for which it is designed. Currently in Russia there is an opportunity to purchase models of the following categories:

• single;
• double;
• one and a half;
• "Euro";
• children;
• non-standard.

For the convenience of buyers, there is a special table of blankets dimensions, using which, you can choose the size that is ideal for each specific case. First of all, all models are divided into adults and children. Despite the division of this group of bedding into certain categories, there is still no single general standard. If one manufacturer has a one-and-a-half model with dimensions of 120x180 cm, then for another these parameters may differ slightly up or down: for example, 110x170 or 130x190.

Single-bed models are designed for one person. The most common sizes are 140x205 cm (for example, from the manufacturer AlViTec with a microfiber filling "Swan's Down", model "Carbon") and 140 x 200 cm (from the manufacturer Goodnight Store, filling - merino wool, the model is called "Classic White Single"). Such a bedspread is convenient to use if the sleeping place is small and not wide. In this case, the bedspread will completely cover the person without hanging from the edge of the bed. Such blankets are often found in student dormitories, in soldiers' barracks and in train carriages.

For couples, the most suitable option would be a double model. This choice is explained by the fact that its dimensions are calculated in such a way that two people can cover themselves with a blanket without any discomfort, without interfering with each other.

For the territory of Russia, the most common are blankets of the Soviet standard 172 by 205 cm (from the manufacturer Vladi, filler - cotton, model "Biky Blanket"). In many families, bedspreads of this size have been preserved since the times of the Soviet Union and were inherited from their parents or even from grandparents. Bed linen of this size is very easy to find. But when choosing a blanket, you need to remember that for tall people it may be too short, therefore, a person may experience some discomfort during sleep.

It makes sense for people with tall stature to pay attention to models of other sizes. For example, 180x220 cm (Sontelle, filler - swan's down, model Libu Mik Summer) or 180x200 cm ("MarTex", filler - siliconized fiber, model "Bamboo Paradise"). If there is a bed in the bedroom that has a square shape, and not the usual rectangular one, then when choosing a blanket, you should give preference to the square shape of the product. For a large matrimonial bed, a bedspread with dimensions of 200x200 cm is perfect (Nature`s, filler - extra group fluff, “Air Paradise” model). However, on the territory of Russia, blankets of this size are not very common. It is much easier to purchase them in Eastern Europe: Italy or Germany.

The name "one and a half comforter" originates from the size of this bedding. That is, it denotes the width of the product, which is approximately one and a half meters. The standard size of a one-and-a-half duvet is 150x220 cm (from the manufacturer Karna with bamboo fiber filling, the model is called "Natural Bamboo"). This size is clearly not enough for a family sleep, so the purchase of two one-and-a-half models seems to be optimal. Then each family member can hide with their own product and not pull the blanket over themselves at night, as happens in the case of purchasing a double product. Also, a one-and-a-half blanket is perfect for small and narrow berths intended for one person.

In addition to the standard one, one-and-a-half models can have other sizes:

• 160x200;
• 175 by 215;
• 172x205 cm.

Euro size blankets are becoming more and more popular every year. For this category, dimensions of 200x220 cm are considered standard ("Agro-Don", filling - goose down, model "Light Dreams"). Using this blanket for sleeping, you do not need to worry about warmth and comfort, since parameters are quite enough for a restful sleep of two people.

But this is not the only option: products of sizes are also included in the "euro" group. 220x240 (from the manufacturer Samson, filler - bamboo fiber, model "Bamboo blanket) and 240x260 (German Grass, filler - goose down, model Grand Down). The latter option is a great choice for tall people. It is under such a spacious blanket that a person will feel as comfortable as possible. Euro duvets are suitable for large beds. They are also called king size. Blankets of this group are quite expensive, but the comfort from their use easily compensates for the financial costs of purchasing.

Baby blankets are a separate category. Depending on the age and height of the child, his blanket should also change. For newborn toddlers and toddlers, square or rectangular models are available to comfortably cover the baby. At the same time, they are not too large, so they will not interfere in a small crib. The most common are models for children with sizes 110x140 and 100x150 cm (blankets for children Babyton, "OTK", "Ermoshka", KariCuz, Amaro Baby). Products of the aforementioned manufacturers are perfect for a standard baby cot.

For young children, it is important to choose the right size not only for bedding, but also the material from which it is made. The blanket should be light, but warm. And also it should have the property of absorbing moisture well and be easy to wash and clean. It is very important that only hypoallergenic materials are used in the production. Over time, the baby blanket will have to be replaced with a larger one. For a teenage child, single or one-and-a-half models of blankets are suitable.

Sometimes people choose as large as possible blankets for their bed. They can be understood, because with such a blanket you do not need to worry about the fact that someone will be uncomfortable. Also, preference for such models is given by tall or very large people. Many bedding stores offer custom sized blankets. These can be models with rather large parameters. For example, 230x270 or 280x250 cm.

In some cases, people prefer not to purchase ready-made blankets, but to order tailoring to individual sizes. This could be due to personal preference or custom bed size. For example, when the bed has really impressive dimensions.

To choose the right size for the duvet, you need to build on the parameters of the bed. It is not too rational to purchase a double model for a small bed. She will hang and slide off the bed, which will interfere with proper sleep. When choosing bedding, remember that the duvet can be up to 50 centimeters longer than the bed.

It is also important to pay attention to the filler. This affects the weight of the product and the heat retention property. Blankets are classified into:

• winter;
• summer;
• universal.

If you do not want to purchase two sets of bedspreads (for winter and summer), then you should pay attention to the filling made of bamboo or eucalyptus fibers. Such bedding warms well in the cold season and cool in the warm summer.

Currently, bedding manufacturers take into account the variety of blanket sizes, so it is not difficult to choose a duvet cover that is suitable for a specific blanket. However, for some models, it is still difficult to find a duvet cover. In this case, it is more convenient to order tailoring of individual bed linen, and not to purchase ready-made, which does not fit well in size.

To make the blanket last as long as possible, it is important to carefully study the rules of care that are indicated on the package. For example, synthetic models are rarely washed. If you are unsure of how to wash correctly, it is best to seek help from a professional dry cleaner.

A comfortable bed and a soft warm blanket of a suitable size will allow a person to fully relax at night. Therefore, in the morning he will wake up vigorous and in a good mood, spend his day fruitfully.
