Sometimes it happens that spouses are not entirely comfortable with one blanket, even a large one. And this is not explained at all by the cooling of feelings for each other, but by elementary convenience. Someone likes to wrap themselves in a blanket like a cocoon, because of which the other half remains open; someone needs a warmer and thicker blanket, while others just need to cover themselves with a thin one. In this case, the purchase of two different blankets and the so-called family bedding set (Family size, "duet") will help. The best material for making this will be satin.

Peculiarities

The Family size set includes 2 one-and-a-half duvet covers instead of one large one. It can also include 2 or 4 pillowcases and one extra large sheet.

Family satin bedding has the following benefits:

  • it is very beautiful, looks expensive;
  • strong and durable, with proper care, the kit will last more than one year;
  • silky, soft, pleasant to the body;
  • since the fabric contains 100% cotton, the material is not capable of causing an allergic reaction;
  • in summer it is cool under such linen, in winter it is cozy and warm.

What are the kits?

So now let's find out what sizes are inherent in double duvet cover bedding sets and what is generally included in the set.

  • Sheet. Its dimensions are truly royal: it can be 240x260 cm or 240x280 cm. With the help of such a product, you can easily make a large double bed or a huge folding sofa. Some sets include a sheet with an elastic band, which allows you to carefully and securely attach it to the mattress.
  • The very same 2 duvet covers, thanks to which family sets stand out from the "crowd" of other bedding sets. Their dimensions can be 145x210 / 215 cm, 150x210 / 215 cm, 160x220 cm. Knowing these nuances, be sure to read the information on the packaging before buying - it indicates which dimensions are in the proposed kit. Pre-measure both duvet covers that you intend to wear these duvet covers.

Do not forget that satin can shrink slightly after washing, so it will be great if the duvet cover is a couple of centimeters larger than the blanket.

  • Pillowcases. In a family set, there can be 2, and maybe 4. Their sizes also vary: it is either a pair of 50x70 cm or 70x70 cm, or a four, which includes both types of sizes. This is very convenient if, for example, the husband prefers to sleep on a large square pillow, and the wife on a rectangular one. There are also transformable pillowcases: with the initial parameters of 70x70 cm, the product can easily be turned into a 50x70 cm pillowcase using a fold-over on one side.

Duvet cover and pillowcases can be equipped with a zipper, buttons or buttons.

Since we are considering Family size bedding sets made of satin, it should be said that this fabric is very rich in colors.

  • Plain underwear is very popular. This is easy to explain: in modern monochrome interiors, “funny” sets with printed chintz flowers look very inappropriate, but white, gray, chocolate or lemon-yellow luxury satin linen fits perfectly into such an environment.
  • Sets decorated with small patterns with floral designs are gradually becoming a thing of the past. Geometric prints, lettering, textural patterns, stripes and checks, paisley, graphic images of plants and animals come to the fore.
  • 3D prints on satin bedding are also not uncommon. Using a special technique, the pattern is applied to the fabric, becoming three-dimensional. Satin is famous for its resistance to numerous washes, so the picture remains in its original form for a long time, without fading and without losing the 3D effect.
  • An innovation is the 5D bedding sets. Unlike a 3D pattern, which features a special play of light and shadow, as well as a clear selection of the foreground, a 5D pattern is created using an extended color palette and the use of multi-layer transitions from color to color, due to which it seems especially voluminous and completely "Alive".

Nuances of choice

How do you choose your perfect duo set? Let's figure it out.

  • We have already mentioned the variety of sizes that make up family sets. So, before you go to the store for a purchase or place an order on the Internet, carefully measure your berth, both blankets and all pillows. Always focus on a larger subject: for example, if one of the blankets is 145x210 cm, and the second is 150x215 cm, your choice should fall on sets with larger parameters. The same goes for pillows.
  • Be sure to make sure the fabric is 100% cotton. Pay attention to the density of the material - it is measured in cm3, its optimal performance should not be lower than 120 threads. High density is a guarantee of strength and long service life of the laundry.
  • If you make an offline purchase, touch the fabric, make sure that it is pleasant to the touch, smooth, uniform.

If possible, remove any part of the kit from the package and look at the light: the outlines of objects will not be visible through dense high-quality satin, and even sunlight will pass through with difficulty.
