Single bed linen

When purchasing a set of bedding for a single bed, you must take into account a number of features. Among the main ones are the quality of the material itself, its hygroscopicity, the quality of dyeing (the dyes used should not fade or even more so leave traces on the human body). An important parameter is the correct overall dimensions. Only in this case, you can count on the fact that the linen on the bed will lie correctly and not slip.

In some cases, consumers are looking for single bedding. This is necessary when you need to cover the bed for a night's sleep for one person. But there are some features that not everyone knows. The fact is that today it is almost impossible to find sleep products with such markings on the shelves. This is due to the fact that some changes have been made to the standard series. Now, instead of them, the so-called one-and-a-half sets of linen are produced, which in their overall dimensions are almost identical to the single-bed version.

If we consider the material from which it is best to purchase bedding, then here are the fibers and fabrics worth paying attention to.

• Chintz - lightness, softness and strength are inherent in it at the same time. But there is one drawback of this material - not too long service life. The chintz wipes off quickly enough, and gaps form on it.

• Satin - such bed linen will not wrinkle, moreover, the "chill" effect is not inherent in the linen.Due to the specific production of threads, the surface of the fabric has a slight sheen. At the same time, satin, in contrast to chintz, has high strength indicators. But many users don't like the fact that satin is slippery.

• Calico most often used for children's kits. It is made from natural fibers that are tightly intertwined with each other. Due to this, the effect of durability is achieved. It is characterized by light smoothing and a high degree of hygroscopicity.

• Linen - natural threads, which have a sufficiently high density only if the fabric itself is tightly woven. But it should be borne in mind that flax is inherent in some roughness, which over time, after several washings, is almost completely leveled.

• Silk - it is worth noting that the natural type of fabric is quite expensive. Therefore, not everyone can afford to purchase such bed linen. If we talk about synthetic silk, then its quality level is not as high as that of natural matter. Artificial fabrics belonging to this category are quite easily electrified, do not pass air very well and absorb moisture.

If we talk directly about the design of linen, then today there are all sorts of variations on the market.

1. Solid color sets - they can be white or colored. In the second case, the palette will be the most diverse - from creamy, pastel shades to the darkest and most saturated.
2. There is an option with applied geometric or floral designs. There are sets that depict traditional motives, for example, monograms, paisley, rapports with different repeating elements.
3. Not so long ago, 3D-printed bedding sets appeared on the market. In this case, you can achieve almost photographic fidelity of the image. It can be conveyed by images of animals, birds, plants, people, cityscapes and others.

The choice of fabric depends on what the person prefers. Some people like the cool feeling that satin or silk gives. Others prefer natural cotton, which wicks moisture and breathes intensively for comfort while sleeping.

As for the design, it all depends on personal tastes. Some people like white sets, while others prefer dark ones, and even with a pattern.

The 1-bed linen set has standardized sizes. But it is worth noting that the overall parameters will differ slightly depending on the manufacturer. For example, the width and length of domestic linen differs from European linen in centimeters. Before purchasing a kit, it is worth measuring the dimensions of the berth so as not to miscalculate with the parameters.

Standard dimensions are understood as the following dimensions for a set of bed linen.

1. There is a certain standard for the duvet cover. Its overall dimensions can vary in length from 210 cm to 248 cm.In width - from 150 cm to 215 cm.
2. For the sheet, the length is also not constant, and it varies in the range of 210-260 cm.The width ranges from 160 to 180 cm.
3. Pillowcases come in three standard sizes. Square - 60x60 cm, 70x70 cm.For rectangular, there is one size range - 70x50 cm.

If we consider the European sizes for a single set of linen, then there is the following gradation.

1. Baby. For this type of linen, the pillowcase measures 40x60 cm. The sheet is 120x70 cm. The duvet cover is 100x120 cm.
2. Single - in this variation, pillows come in different sizes, both 51x76 and 65x65 cm.The sheet is 274 cm long and 183 cm wide.The size of the duvet cover is 145x200 cm.

Before choosing bed linen for a bed, you need to consider a number of parameters. Only in this case, you can purchase products that will not only last as long as possible, but will also delight you during use.

It is recommended to pay attention to such main points.

• If you are choosing products for teenagers, then it is worth purchasing the highest quality underwear sets in terms of the wear resistance of the material. In this case, the canvas should be made exclusively from environmentally friendly materials so as not to negatively affect health and not cause allergic reactions. Not everyone understands that during sleep it is necessary to ensure a sufficient level of air, which will freely pass through the tissue. This is the only way to achieve the effect that the body breathes.

• It is also important not to buy synthetic kits so that static electricity does not build up. The fact is that during sleep a person tosses and turns in bed, from which the effect of friction of the body against the material is formed. Thus, free electrical charges are formed on the surface, which can negatively affect human health, especially if this happens regularly, that is, from night to night.

• If you buy silk natural or silk artificial underwear, it is worth considering that it will behave quite capriciously. This is especially evident in terms of the sheet slipping off the mattress. During sleep, this item of underwear can constantly stray from its position, slide down or curl up to the middle of the bed. To completely neutralize or at least minimize this effect, it is recommended to use a mattress topper. But at the same time, it is also important to take into account some subtleties - a mattress topper, or a mattress cover, must necessarily be made of rough fabric. A product that is sewn from a small terry cloth is suitable. Only then can the unpleasant slipping state be avoided.

• For an adult bed, single or double, you should choose the highest quality products that can last a long time. But at the same time, it is also taken into account that appearance plays an important role. The quality of tailoring will ensure that the duvet is properly threaded into the duvet cover, and pillows into the pillowcases.

If we talk about aesthetics, then the color range and pattern play an important role. Today, manufacturers usually offer a wide range of products that are able to meet the most varied needs of consumers. There are the following types of single bedding sets.

• Classic options that are implemented in light or pastel colors. They can be either monochromatic or have a slight inconspicuous pattern in the form of monograms, perimeter rapports or simple geometry.

• Bright pillowcases, sheets and duvet covers, which can be saturated or, conversely, dark.

• Products on which a drawing is applied in a graphic way, from which the image takes on the most natural appearance. This is the so-called 3D printing.

In all this variety, it is important to choose exactly the option that will be suitable for each specific case. But this should be done not only with an eye to your taste preferences, but also taking into account the situation in the room. Therefore, before buying a product, you need to see how the color palette will be combined with the environment. More precisely - with the color of the bed, wallpaper, general and color scheme of the room.

But young people, as a rule, on the contrary, want products that are brighter and more saturated in their range. But it is worth combining correctly - for example, for a girl's bedroom, where shabby chic or Provence will be realized, it is best to choose bed linen with a floral pattern. And for boys, geometric motives and abstraction are optimal.

Given these features, it is quite easy to find a bedding set that will delight its owners.
