What are the sizes of duvet covers?

Several years ago, it was not difficult to choose the right size duvet cover, because the measurements of this bedding accessory were standard - one- or two-bed and the so-called "lorry". But modern manufacturers offer consumers new dimensional grid options. There are options for euro, family, king size, etc. Since bed linen cannot be exchanged and returned, it is worthwhile to approach its purchase especially carefully, because an incorrectly selected size of textiles can ruin the entire appearance of the bed. The article will tell you about what parameters to focus on when choosing a duvet cover.

The sizes of duvet covers for baby duvets vary according to the age of the child. The dimensions of the duvet cover should always be several centimeters larger than the dimensions of the product for which it is intended. The standard size of a blanket for children under 5 years old is 110x140 centimeters. In this case, the measurements of the duvet cover should be 112x147 centimeters.

There are even more compact options called nurseries.

For children over 5 years old, it is worth choosing larger blankets (one- or one-and-a-half beds). The dimensions of the duvet cover for such a product are 120x160 centimeters. Such a product can serve up to the school age of the child. Then you have to think about choosing a more significant size.

Blankets with a size of 160x200 centimeters are suitable for schoolchildren. Therefore, the dimensions of the duvet cover should be 5-10 centimeters larger. These parameters are closest to the sizes of similar products for adults.

In addition to the above, there are still not quite standard options for children's blankets, for example, 111x144, 105x155 or 130x290 centimeters. In this case, you should choose duvet covers with dimensions that are closest to those indicated, but differ in the direction of increase.

Currently, there are two tables of bed linen size nets - domestic and European. According to the standards adopted in Russia, depending on the length and width of the bedding elements, it can be classified into the following varieties: single, double, one and a half.

European size charts assume a single euro size and an increased king-size variation. Textiles for single, one and a half and double beds are also available in varieties. Sometimes you can find non-standard sizes of this product, but only a few acquire it, since it is quite difficult to choose the main product for such textiles.

Below will be listed the size ranges of duvet covers, which relate to a particular size of bedding. Do not forget that satin is the best fabric for such products. This material does not cause allergic reactions, is pleasant to the touch, and its price is affordable for a wide range of buyers. For duvet covers made from other types of fabrics, the generally accepted sizes may differ slightly and fluctuate in the direction of increasing or decreasing by several centimeters (depending on the characteristics of the material).

Modern manufacturers of bed linen have practically stopped the production of this type of duvet cover. This size is increasingly being replaced by one and a half options. They practically do not differ in size from "odnushki", but more versatile in use.

The length of a single bed duvet cover varies from 200 to 250 centimeters. The width of the product can be as follows (in centimeters):

• 135 (for the minimum length), such dimensions can be found in stores most often;
• 150 (for a length of 150 cm);
• 146 (for 214 centimeters);
• 150 (length - 220 cm);
• for maximum length - 215 centimeters.

A single duvet cover made in accordance with the European size chart can be identified by the single inscription on the package. It will be slightly increased in size compared to its domestic counterpart. But such dimensions of textiles are found among Europeans at the present time quite rarely.

As the name suggests, two people can comfortably sit under such a blanket. Therefore, the dimensions of the duvet cover for such a product are much larger than the parameters of single-bed textiles. These dimensions are popular mainly with family people, but those who are used to sleeping alone also use it successfully.

According to Russian standards, there are several size nets for double duvet covers. The minimum size starts with dimensions of 180x200 centimeters, and the largest size of a double duvet cover can reach parameters of 170x200 cm. Other sizes of this category:

• 172x205 centimeters;
• 180x210 cm;
• 175x205;
• 175x215 centimeters.

The dimensions of these duvet covers do not differ much from the dimensions indicated for the previous category. They can be easily used by a married couple who sleeps in the same bed. For a blanket with dimensions of 150x200 and 160x200 centimeters, a duvet cover of 150x200 cm is intended. For blanket parameters equal to 140x200 and 140x205, textiles 150x200 cm are suitable.Other dimensions can also be found, however, the length of one-and-a-half duvet covers should not be more than 220 cm.

There are several varieties in this category - standard and mini. The first option is suitable for blankets measuring 200x220 and 200x210 centimeters. The mini size has parameters 200x200, so it is matched to more compact sleep accessories.

Duvet covers of this type of European size grid are suitable for blankets measuring 220x240 cm. This type is the largest among domestic and foreign sizes of duvet covers. It is not yet very popular on the Russian market, however, the Europeans have already fallen in love with it. In addition to the size of the king size, there is its American counterpart to the super king size. Duvet covers in this category have parameters ranging from 260x220 centimeters. Blankets of this size are not yet found at the moment.

The size of bedding, which belongs to this category, differs in that although it is intended for people sleeping in the same bed, it contains not one, but two duvet covers. The size of each of them is about 143x215 centimeters. They are suitable for narrow blankets in standard lengths. Usually this option is chosen by people who have the problem of dragging the entire blanket over themselves during sleep.

To choose the right duvet cover and bedding, you first need to decide in what conditions the products will be used. For a teenager or an adult who expects to sleep alone, one and a half sizes, as well as euro mini, are suitable. A married couple should start from double duvet covers, standard euro or king size. If each of the spouses would like to get their own blanket, but sleep on the bed together, then the ideal option would be a family bedding set with two duvet covers in the composition.

Before going to the store, you should measure the parameters of the product. This will require an ordinary tape measure, which measures the length and width of the product. You can also look for them on the blanket label, if it is preserved. As a rule, manufacturers indicate the dimensions of the product directly on it. The dimensions of the duvet cover should always be several centimeters larger than that of the main product. However, too large a size will cause inconvenience in use, moreover, it does not look so aesthetically pleasing.

To avoid misunderstandings, you should carefully check whether the European or Russian size is indicated on the package. Domestic products have smaller parameters than foreign ones. A detailed size range, as a rule, is indicated on the package or a special insert in it.

It is convenient to shop at various online bedding stores. The main advantage of this type of shopping is that you can set the length and width of your blanket, and the system itself will select the appropriate options. The risk of being wrong here is minimal.

Almost all duvet covers are rectangular in shape. You can determine where the upper and lower parts of the product are based on the pattern on it or by the location of the zipper (as a rule, it is located at the bottom). However, some people find it convenient to use the blanket in a horizontal position, and this is also acceptable.
