Sizes of 1.5-bed sheets
The dimensions of 1.5-bed sheets are important for everyone who buys bedding. The official standards applied here play an important role. The choice of the size of the sheets for the mattress of the bed in each case is also quite relevant.
One specific example
To characterize the dimensions of a 1.5-bed sheet, it is convenient to refer to its real samples. For example, the Mona Liza Premium modification has dimensions of 2150x1500 mm. To make this product convenient to use, the perimeter is trimmed with an elastic band. As a result, the fixing of the sheet on the bed mattress is reliable. During sleep, nothing moves anywhere, and therefore you can freely use the entire one and a half sleeping area.
The nuances of the selection of such bedding in size
But not everything is so simple, and not all other manufacturers adhere to strictly the same size. In addition, for a one-and-a-half sheet, even with an elastic band, the dimensions may differ in actual use. Such a piece of sleeping furniture is usually folded up by 150 mm. Important: in regular and online stores, they always indicate what size of beds (sleeping places) in centimeters the bed linen assembled or sold separately is calculated for.
The height of the overhang from the sides is not indicated by some manufacturers. This is not a very good approach, and many consumers have already been convinced of this by finding that the sheet does not match their mattress. Formally, linen on a 20-centimeter mattress can be covered with a 25-centimeter mattress, but this is not quite comfortable.
Taking away part of the reserve for the fold deprives the textile products of sufficient flexibility. You will constantly have to face inconveniences.
And about standards
Bed linen, including sheets, is made in different countries.But the term "1.5-bed" in each of them can mean its own size, and interchangeability among themselves is weak. So, in Russian practice, there are the following parameters:
- 2200x1550;
- 2100x1600;
- 2150x1500;
- 2100x1600 mm.
Chinese products are generally identical. But her margin of error is somewhat larger. The EU and the US have their own approach. There the sheet has a width of 200 cm, usually its size is 200x220. True, in some cases a size of 220x240 cm is used.
Several European and American manufacturers supply stretch sheets. Their length and width are matched to the mattress. The Turkish textile industry has also developed its own special approach. Her bed linen is increased in comparison with those produced in other countries. The sheets there are usually 1800x2400 or even 1800x2600 mm in size.
