Determining the size of double bedding for personal use or presenting as a gift, you can encounter a number of difficulties. In modern textile stores, in addition to the standard 2-bedroom, family and euro-sets are also sold. Which, along with the variety of dimensional grids used by manufacturers, adds confusion to a seemingly simple process.

Double bed size: standard

According to the standard, the width of a double bed made in the Russian Federation should be 150–200 centimeters. And the length is 200–210. These figures are not taken from the ceiling. They are specified in GOST, which has been in force since 2007. It was introduced with a well-founded goal - so that manufacturers do not give out a one-and-a-half bed, which is cheaper, for a double bed.

When choosing the size of a standard 2-sleeping bed, physique should be taken into account. For example, for two adults of average build, a bed with a width of 160 cm is suitable, and for a married couple with a thin physique - 150.

In order not to miscalculate, you need to lie on the bed with your back to each other, turn on your side and tuck your legs. If they do not hang down, and there is at least 15 cm of free space between the sleepers, you can safely purchase the bed you like.

In Europe and America, there are slightly different standards regarding the parameters of double sofas and beds. Sizes of double euro beds vary from 200 to 210 centimeters in length and from 180 to 200 in width.

For the US, such large furniture is a luxury. Therefore, they often call her "royal". The Standard King and Eastern King beds are 193cm and 203cm wide and 203cm respectively. Western King, California King - 183 and 213 cm.

Sizes of double bed linen

Double set of linen, made in Russia, includes 1 sheet, 2 or 4 pillowcases and 1 duvet cover. Their parameters always exceed the dimensions of a double bed and are controlled by GOST from 2007.

Sizes of double bed linen according to GOST:

Domestic manufacturers are not required to follow GOST, the figures indicated in it are purely advisory in nature. There are no rigid frameworks in relation to the parameters of bedding in the importing countries either. Therefore, in order to choose bed linen that is ideal for a double bed, you need to take measurements from an orthopedic or regular mattress, blanket and pillows.

Selection rules

The size of a 2-bed sheet depends on the volume of a regular and / or orthopedic mattress. It should completely hide its sides and butt. For example, for a mattress with parameters 190 by 160 and with a height of 20 cm, a product 210 × 200 or more is suitable. Calculation example:

• Length: 190 + 20 = 210.
• Width: 160 + (2x20) = 200.

The larger the sheet, the easier it is to tuck it under the mattress. Plus, this way she lies more evenly on the bed and less stray during sleep.

When choosing a tension product, you need to consider not only standard sizes mattress, but also its height. It is always indicated on the packaging of a double sheet, the marking may look like this: 190 × 160 + 30 or 190 × 160, side 30. The rest of the parameters of such a product must fully correspond to the bed.

The dimensions of the double duvet cover must match the parameters of the blanket. Measure its length and width and add 5 cm to each value, as some products shrink after washing.

Pillowcases have standard dimensions: 60x60 or 70x70 square and 50x70 rectangular. The kit may include both the same and miscellaneous products. In most cases, simple and orthopedic pillows are produced according to the same standard, so there are no problems with the choice.

Pillowcases in 2-bed PBs come in several standard patterns: button-down, zip-up, and flap. It is better to choose a product with a valve of more than 20 cm. It will tightly fix the pillow and will not slip off it. The label indicates only the type of fastener, information about the depth of the valve is usually not available. Therefore, before purchasing a sleeping set, open the package and look inside.

If there is no marking on the package of double bed linen, most likely it is fake. Before purchasing a set, make sure that the declared parameters of bedding and the actual ones match. Some manufacturers save fabric by taking advantage of the ignorance or carelessness of consumers.

When choosing underwear, you need to consider the material of manufacture. It is better to choose products made of cotton. They do not shrink after washing and do not wrinkle during use. No less popular is linen fabric. It is characterized by good wear resistance and quickly absorbs moisture. But she also has a drawback - she is easily crumpled.

Features of family and euro-sets

In contrast to the 2-bed, a set with a euro-sheet has more voluminous dimensions. It is designed for a non-standard wide bed. The duvet cover can have parameters of 200 by 220 or 220 by 240 centimeters. Sheet - 240 by 250, 240 by 270, 240 by 280, 240 by 215 centimeters. There are two pillowcases in the set: rectangular (50x70) and square (70x70).

Austrian and German 2 bedroom suites may not include sheets. Please check the package carefully before purchasing.

The main difference between family double bedding sets is the presence of 2 one-and-a-half duvet covers with parameters 145 × 215, 150 × 210, 150 × 215, 155 × 215 or 160 × 220. Standard sheets – 240x260, 240x280. Pillowcases too - 50x70, 70x70.

If the 2-bed bed has non-standard design features or too high orthopedic mattress, you can purchase accessories for it not in the form of ready-made sets, but separately. In extreme cases, you can buy them to order or purchase cutting for self-tailoring.

When purchasing underwear for the first time, young housewives think about the fundamental difference between the proposed options.

For right choice you need to know the size of your bed, as well as the available pillows and blankets, take into account how many people will sleep under the selected linen.

Sheets, duvet covers and pillowcases are a delicate matter: the convenience of its use directly depends on how well the set is chosen. Euro size bedding is one of the most voluminous, depending on the type, it can be used both on ordinary double beds and on large ones, 180-200 cm wide. Today we will talk about it in more detail.

What are the options: the main parameters of the PBC

This time we will not talk about GOSTs, since the sizes of Eurostandard and Euro maxi bed linen are not clearly spelled out anywhere. We will immediately move on to how things stand with such CPBs on Russian market. Most of all, the choice of products is in the "standard" format, and it is represented mainly by domestic, Chinese and Turkish manufacturers. Among the "maxi" the choice is already several dozen times, mainly China, Turkey and very little Europe.

All sets are designed for a bed with a width of 160 cm or more. Their dimensional grid is as follows: the parameters of duvet covers are the same for all countries (the type of set is determined by them) and a rather large spread in sheets. There can be several options with pillowcases, and they depend little on the manufacturer / country.

Here you can immediately download or print the PBE parameters, just click on the button:

Bed linen euro sizes in the table:

In addition to the indicated designations of the euro set, you can find:

• "2 bed".
• Queen.
• King size.

This is interesting: on the shelves you can find euro-sized teenage sets, these are bed linen that correspond to adults in cm and are labeled as Euro-standard. It differs only in the corresponding print and the absence of a sheet. It is assumed that the latter will be purchased according to the size of the bed on which the teenager sleeps. Pillowcases in a set of 2 pieces.

Euro-maxi, what is it

An enlarged version of the "standard", sometimes "2" is used instead of "maxi". In this case, it says "bedding sizes euro and euro 2". It is not produced in our country, but it is quite rare on the shelves. Usually it is Turkey, China and a little Europe. Perhaps the point is the low demand for such a product: we managed to “eat” only a bed 160 cm wide. And already at 180 cm beds even in furniture stores rare, 200 - even more so. But nevertheless, such CPBs exist.

And the dimensions of Euro double bed linen are designed for a blanket 220x240 cm (duvet cover has the same parameters), which is not so easy to find. It is not even available in all online stores. famous brands. Take, for example, the fairly well-known Ascona: maximum size blankets listed on the company's website - 200x220 cm. Under the "Euro-standard" it is much easier to choose something, for it there are usually at least two options, 195x215 and 200x220 cm.

Important: if you cannot choose bed linen of the “2 bedroom euro” size so that it is just right for the mattress and the blanket at the same time, you can try using the European version. We are looking for a set without a sheet, which one - we choose according to the duvet cover. And a sheet, plain or with an elastic band, is already bought separately. In most specialized stores, this will not be a problem.

Family bedding

We also have to compare the size of the euro bed linen and the family size, which also came to us from Europe. There are as many as two duvet covers (one and a half), and there is always one sheet in the set, but at least 220x240 cm. This is a good replacement for the usual Euro-standard, if you want to sleep under different blankets. It is especially true for couples with different thermoregulation: one will hide warmer, the other lighter.

In family bed linen, there is usually a good (compared to Euro maxi) choice of sets in terms of the width of duvet covers: from 135 to 155 cm, with a length of 200 - 210 cm. They are represented on the market by manufacturers different countries. In addition to Russia - Asia, Europe and the East. Big sizes it is better to look among the "Europeans", the smaller ones are Russia and China. The products of the latter, by the way, are better than other imports "tailored" for the domestic consumer.
