Today you can find blankets in almost any size. When choosing a duvet cover, it is important to know the right size duvet.
How to choose a blanket?
Standard blankets from each manufacturer may have their own sizes, different from similar products from other manufacturers. Blankets are:
- Single (one and a half)
- Double
- Double euro size
What are the standards?
Do not rush to the store for shopping. First decide for yourself what exactly you are going to buy.
single model
The standard size may vary, much depends on the manufacturer. Often there are 140x205 and 145x205. These are the options offered in the line of leading brands: Horizont, Oltex, Primavelle, Asabella, Dargez.
The last size is familiar to the older generation who were born in the Soviet Union. Today in Russia it is found everywhere.
However, some manufacturers have deviated from these standards. Kingsilk produces products 150x200 and 160x210; Onsilk - 150x210; Asabella - 155x215; Schlaraffia - 155x200. All of them are well suited for duvet covers (160x220) produced in most countries of the world.
With one and a half blankets, you can safely purchase the so-called "family" sets. These sets include one large sheet and two duvet covers.
double model
The standard option for a blanket for domestic buyers is 172x205. Russian manufacturers produce just such products. They correspond to duvet covers 175x210, which are included in double sets. Among the popular brands, Horizont, Oltex, Kingsilk, Dargez and Onsilk stand out.
As for non-standard models, we should mention Primavelle, which produces blankets with dimensions of 170x200, or Tutsilk - 180x210 - other duvet covers are needed (180x210 or 215).
What you need to know about euro size
The European standard is 200x220, this model is designed for 2 people. A married couple will sleep peacefully - both spouses will be comfortable: a large blanket is enough for two.
Products with euro size are produced by most manufacturing companies, for example: Horizon, Silk Temptation, Tutshelk, Oltex, Dargez and others.
There is another size - 220x240, also known as king-size, which means "royal" in Russian. These models in the range are produced by Onsilk or Asabella. They are designed for beds with a large width of 180 cm.
However, the choice of duvet covers for such blankets is limited. You need to take the "Euro-maxi" and "Euro+" sets, which are made by Luxberry and Kingsilk.
Models for newborns, preschoolers and schoolchildren
Standard sizes of products for babies: 100 or 110x140. They can be put in a stroller and baby bed. Look for products for newborns in the catalogs of branded products from Horizont, Tutshelk, Luxberry, Kingsilk or Onsilk.
The size of a baby blanket for a student who is already sleeping in a teenage bed corresponds to the adult model, which is 1.5 sizes.
Duvet cover selection
Choose a duvet cover with a margin. Compared to the blanket, it should be 5 cm longer and wider. Then the blanket is easily tucked in, it does not get lumpy in one place.
If you buy high-quality bed linen, you can not be afraid of shrinkage. Sometimes the shrinkage allowance is taken into account by the manufacturer himself.
If you doubt that the duvet cover is exactly suitable for a blanket, add another 5 to 10 cm in width. It is in this direction that the share thread is located.
A good duvet cover provides reliable protection blankets from dirt, dust or puffs. In addition to the practical function, the product performs a decorative function. The design of duvet covers can be different - plain, multi-colored or with patterns.
If you have chosen a product, be sure to check how the fittings work. It is presented in various versions:
- buttons;
- buttons;
- lightning.
It should be considered when choosing the exact size of a double blanket or other model. Selection "by eye" is a dubious option, especially considering the fact that it will not be possible to exchange the goods. Think before giving money for a purchase.
Important nuances
You need to know how to choose the size of the blanket. Be sure to measure the width and length of the bed. A small product will look ugly, and too large it is inconvenient to use. A warm blanket is usually stored in its original packaging in a closet.
If you have read the size chart and it does not suit you, then make a blanket to order. In this case, contact a sewing workshop. You can specify any dimensions, material and filler. This best option when the bed is non-standard.
It remains only to determine your own preferences. Sew a blanket out of wool, down, bamboo, or silk. Fillers can be synthetic or natural materials. Decide what is best for you: light holofiber or bamboo fiber, which has a beneficial effect on health.
Popular fabrics for sewing covers are natural silk, satin, cambric. It is necessary that the smooth material glides gently when in contact with the duvet cover. The main thing is that you enjoy using the product.
The filler inside the cover is fixed with a machine stitch. It is recommended to buy products with a cassette stitch, consisting of small compartments.
Spacious models are distinguished by remarkable functionality. They perfectly cope with their main task - they warm well. Under the double duvet, the body breathes: thanks to the tension, there is free access for the air flow. A single blanket with smaller dimensions is easier to wash.
Photo of blankets of different sizes
In order to sleep soundly and comfortably, it is necessary to use well-chosen bedding. They also include a blanket. It should be large enough to completely cover a person, yet light and compact. Before buying, it is better to immediately decide what exactly you need. If we are talking about how to hide a married couple, then it is better to immediately start looking for a double blanket. But there are other options. Presented in stores big choice similar products, and here it is important to decide what size blanket is needed.
Standards for Russia and other countries
There are certain standards by which bedding is sewn. They can vary greatly from country to country. For example, in England the largest blankets are sold - there are even instances of 3 meters by 2.5. Apparently, the beds in this country are the longest and widest. But as a rule, in European countries and the USA, the size of a double blanket is more modest. They differ from GOSTs, according to which sleep products are sewn in Russia.
The most popular in Europe are products with dimensions of 1.8 by 2.2 meters. At the same time, there is no common European standard. In our country, linen, pillows and the like are called so because in Western countries they are usually larger than in our country.
This must be remembered so as not to get into a mess. If the length or width is too non-standard, then it will be very difficult to choose bedding.
There are situations when a thing is sewn to order, or a blanket originally had unique dimensions. Here, difficulties with buying a duvet cover are provided. Bed linen is also sewn according to the standard, it is sometimes unrealistic to find something suitable. In such cases, you will have to sew bedding yourself or in a studio.
Dimension table
In Russia, most often on sale you can find blankets of standard sizes. These dimensions became generally accepted in Soviet times. On sale you can find products of the following types:
- Baby;
- Single (one and a half);
- Double;
- Euro.
There are clear instructions for what they should be. There is a table of standard sizes for blankets.
Baby blankets may have other dimensions. When a child grows up, he is usually covered with a lorry, which is very popular with our compatriots. Usually those who sleep alone buy it, however, it happens that a one and a half blanket warms two. This is especially true for young people, for whom a width of 140 centimeters is quite enough.
As you can see from the size chart, a married couple can easily buy this bedding. She even has a choice. The usual Russian 172 × 205, albeit small, but if a man and a woman have slender figures, it will be enough for them. Moreover, buying a duvet cover for him will not be a problem.
There is a European version 200 × 220, under which it will be much more comfortable to sleep. If spouses value personal space, or they have different tastes in how warm it should be in bed, then they can purchase two one and a half blankets. This will greatly simplify life, since some people get cold even under down, while others can only sleep under a blanket with the window open.
In addition to the listed standard products, you can find euro 155 by 215 cm quilts on sale. They are not so popular, but, of course, more comfortable than a standard quilt and a half.
It is worth mentioning separately the king-size bedding. The blanket in this case has a width of 2.2 meters and a length of 2.4 meters. It is great for tall people, those who have problems with excess weight, and it may also be needed for owners of beds with significant sizes. King size is just starting to gain popularity in Russia.
When buying, you need to focus on the following circumstances:
- Dimensions of those who will sleep;
- The material from which this item is made.
The product should not be wider than the bed more than 50 centimeters. Otherwise, it will slide under its own weight onto the floor while people sleep. It is enough if this thing is the same width as the bed.
To sleep comfortably, and the blanket completely covered people, it should be wide enough. Then there will be no situations when one pulls it over, leaving the neighbor to freeze. For overweight people, euro blankets and more are suitable. If the partners have thin figures, then a width of 1.8 meters will be enough for them.
It is believed that women need a bed space of at least 80 centimeters, and men at least 1 meter. In such conditions, spouses will not be crowded. Much also depends on the bed, since Russian inhabitants get no wider than 1.4 meters. In Europe, the marital bed is usually wider.
Of great importance when choosing is the quality of the filler. There are people who can be allergic to down. Others cannot sleep under a synthetic winterizer by finding that this material does not breathe. Fortunately, there is a wide range of bedding with different types fillers.
Fillers can be natural or artificial. Among the natural ones are the following:
Traditional quilts is still on sale. They are warm under them, they are inexpensive, although they have a lot of weight. Unfortunately, they absorb odors and are difficult to wash and dry. But overall it's a good option for a bedroom. It should be noted that products made from natural fibers need special care. In many cases, they can only be cleaned outside the native walls, taking them to a dry cleaner. In addition, they need to be aired regularly.
Among the artificial fillers can be mentioned:
- Holofiber;
- Sintepon;
- Thinsulate and the like.
Not everyone likes such materials, however, they have a right to exist. Blankets from artificial fibers easy to wash, they can be light weight. They are quite inexpensive.
We select bed linen
After buying bedding, you should also take care of linen. Kits are available in different sizes. When making a choice, you must remember that the duvet cover should be 5 centimeters longer than the blanket. This will allow you to easily change linen. On top of that, there will be a reserve in case the duvet cover shrinks after washing.
In stores, you can buy sets for a one and a half blanket, which include two pillowcases, a sheet and a duvet cover itself. The same equipment is available for linen designed for standard double bedding and euro.
Sometimes you can see family kits, which include duvet covers for two lorries, a sheet and pillowcases.
Sheets can be plain or elasticated. The latter are in demand because of their convenience. These sheets wrinkle less and do not peel off the mattress.
A good double blanket is an expensive purchase. Even before going to the store, it is better to immediately decide what dimensions it will have, taking into account all the wishes. Then it will become the guarantor of a calm, peaceful sleep.
Attention, only TODAY!
A blanket is a versatile bedding that not only helps keep you warm, but also creates extra coziness in the bedroom and brings people together. Blankets are made from various materials, there are many types of warm fillings and fabrics for covers. In addition, they differ in size.
The choice of a double blanket also depends on the ratio of the dimensions of the bed, bedding, duvet cover, and the wishes of the buyers are also important. The height of a person who is looking for bedding for himself is also important - the product must reliably cover the sleeping figure in order to retain heat as much as possible.
Blanket sizes
Depending on whether one person or a married couple will sleep, you can choose personal small blankets or cozy double ones. There are three types of sizes:
- one and a half (single) blanket;
- standard double;
- European double duvet.
Blanket sizes To learn how to distinguish between them, consider all three categories. Knowledge of standard models will allow not only to accurately select products for the size of the bed, but also to buy the right bed linen.
One and a half blankets
The standard size of such products is 140x205 cm. Suitable for duvet covers 145x215 cm. It is also considered a “family” option, it can cover two people, but a larger size will still be more comfortable.
Manufacturers can vary the parameters of blankets from 150x200 cm to 160x210 cm. All one and a half blankets in this category will fit a standard 160x220 duvet cover.
Double duvets
Differ in a larger width, it will be convenient and comfortable for two people to sleep under such a blanket. Famous representative: “English” (“Soviet”) size - 175x205 cm. The standard generally accepted by many manufacturers is 172x205 cm. For such things, duvet covers are selected measuring 175x210 cm. In general, blankets vary from 170x200 to 180x210. There are affordable bed linen available for sale, suitable for all options.
Euro blankets
This type of bedding is an improved double model - they are significantly larger. The so-called European standard is blankets 200x220 cm. The products are very comfortable, two people can easily fit under them, you don’t have to pull the edges or save space.
Euro-sized duvets also include "royal" models - 220-240 cm. The choice of the correct bed linen for such models is not very wide. "Royal" blankets are suitable for wide beds and luxurious interiors.
Thus, double blankets are chosen between two varieties (discarding one and a half) - traditional and euro-size. You can derive the basic criteria, taking into account which the model is chosen:
- bed size;
- the number of people who will sleep under the covers (one or two);
- growth;
- personal wishes.
How to choose a duvet cover
Double duvets are very comfortable, they cover the entire bed. A duvet cover is a special textile cover that protects the duvet from dirt, snags, tears and dust. Duvet covers also perform a decorative function, they are produced with a very beautiful design- color, with drawings.
When choosing, it is important to check the integrity and performance of the fittings. It is available in the following versions:
- classic buttons;
- zipper (considered the most practical);
- buttons.
A good duvet cover should be 5 centimeters larger than the blanket, so that both in width and in length the product is comfortably located inside. The right size of textiles will help you change bed linen quickly and easily, which is important if you have to deal with a huge Euro model. Also, the blanket will not stray during sleep.
It often happens that the fabrics from which bedding is made shrink after washing - a supply in the form of additional centimeters will definitely come in handy.
What should I pay attention to when choosing the size of the blanket
Of course, size matters, but if the main goal was to buy a large blanket so that it warms well, then this property does not depend on centimeters. When choosing a double model, you should pay attention to the following nuances.
- A filler is a “filling” that will regulate body temperature and prevent freezing. Exists synthetic fillers(artificial fluff, komforel) and natural (wool, silk, bamboo fiber). Natural materials are considered safe and good for human health, while synthetic materials are very light and incredibly durable.
- The cover is made of fabric to keep the filler intact. Popular materials - satin, cambric,. The fabric should be smooth and pleasant to the touch, so as not to irritate the skin and glide gently, touching the duvet cover.
- Fastening the filler inside the cover is most often done using machine stitching. There are quilts with wide stitched stripes (considered unreliable), as well as with patterned stitching that secures the filling well. The best way- cassette stitch, consisting of small compartments. Perfectly prevents the migration of insulation fibers.
Double duvets are very comfortable, they completely cover the entire bed, hang romantically along the edges, create a feeling of airy comfort. In general, you can choose a model from 170 cm wide and up to 210 cm long. When buying, it is necessary to take into account the height of people so that you can take good shelter. Double blankets are used by both couples and people who sleep alone in a large bed - spacious models are very functional and allow you to warm up well.
It is important to coordinate the purchase of a blanket with the size of the existing bed. Too small a product will look ugly. Double duvets are also great for sleeping on the sofa unfolded and assembled. Despite the large dimensions, such models are very compactly stored - they are folded into a cabinet or in their original packaging.
A textile blanket is an integral element of bedding, without which you feel quite uncomfortable during sleep, especially in slushy autumn and frosty winter. It differs depending on the sewing technology (it can be quilted and cassette), filler (it can be natural - wool, silk, bamboo, fluff and artificial - holofiber, synthetic winterizer). The filler, in turn, affects the weight of the bedding product, the degree of fullness and warmth.
Any blanket, as well as a mattress, pillow, has its own dimensions. It is under them that bedding is selected. And taking into account the many manufacturers, both domestic and foreign, one may encounter quite significant discrepancies in the parameters.
What are the sizes of duvets?
Firstly, it is worth mentioning that blankets are divided into children's, one-and-a-half, double, euro-, "royal" and non-standard sizes. Their names speak for themselves, they are intended for children, for one or two people. The name of a lorry (the so-called family blanket) is not associated with the number of people that it can cover, but with a product width of 1.5 m, and it is sewn for both teenagers and spouses who are used to sleeping under different blankets. Each of these blankets has its own parameters. They may correspond to certain standard values, or they may differ, differ from them. Let us dwell in more detail on what is the size of a double blanket.
How to choose the right double duvet?
When choosing this bedding, the size of the bed, the parameters of a person (height, physique) should be decisive. As a rule, the blanket is selected according to the width bed or slightly more, plus no more than half a meter. In addition, it is necessary to take into account personal space that provides a person with a comfortable sleep. It is determined by the distance of the elbows spread apart, but not more than the distance of the outstretched arm. For women, it varies between 0.8-1.1 m, for men - 1-1.3 m. For a married couple, these figures are summed up. By the way, not only every person, but also every nation has its own personal space for sleeping. A correctly sized blanket will help eliminate its tension, drooping, or even searching on the floor.
Double duvet size: standard and exceptions
A double bed has several parameters, which in our country are (in m) from 1.60 to 2.0 or more. They differ in different countries. For example, in Europe the width of a double bed starts from 1.4 m, in the USA it is even less - from 1.35 m. Depending on the parameters of the bed, the size of a double blanket is (in m):
- 1.72x2.05;
- 1.75x2.05;
- 1.80x2.10;
- 1.80x2.15;
- 2.0x2.0;
- 1.95x2.15;
- 2.0x2.20;
- 2.20x2.40.
The last size is considered to be the size of the euro-maxi, it is also "king size" or "royal". The two preceding it are euro-sizes, with 2.0x2.20 m being more common. All sizes of the euro blanket and the double standard used to be equal to the double. Now more often they position themselves separately.
In accordance with GOST R 51554-99 “Finished textile products. Bed blankets. Dimensions, measurements, markings» bedding sizes are:
- 0.75x1.0,
- 1.0x1.50,
- 1.50x2.0,
- 1.80x2.40,
- 2.0x2.40,
- 2.20x2.40,
- 2.80x2.40,
- 3.0x2.40
As such, the concept of “the size of a double blanket” or “the size of a half-sleeping blanket” is not listed in GOST, only indicators are given.
For a number of European countries (Germany, France, Italy and others), the most popular is the size of a double blanket 1.80x2.20 m. However, some of them are characterized by dimensions that are unique to it, for example:
- in Belgium it is 1.70x2.10, 1.90x2.30;
- in the UK it is 1.80x2.50, 2.0x2.50, 2.80x2.50, 3.0x2.50;
- in Spain it is 2.0x2.10;
- in Italy it is 2.10x2.50, 2.30x2.70.
Quilt size and weight
The weight of the product directly depends on the size of the blanket, the type and density of the filler. If we take as an example standard size double blanket 2.0x2.20, then it will weigh:
- on fluff - within 0.9 kg;
- woolen - 1.8 kg;
- bamboo - 0.75 kg / 1.5 kg (depending on the density of the filler);
- silk - 1.1 kg;
- on tinsulate - 0.95 kg;
- on holofiber - 1.5 kg;
- on synthetic winterizer - 1.1 kg.
Of course, these data are relative and may vary slightly. If you decide to purchase a bed blanket of the required size for yourself, the main thing is the filler that meets your wishes and criteria, and only after that - the color scheme. Well, no one has yet canceled an individual order according to your parameters.
To calculate the size of the blanket you need, it is worth considering several parameters - your dimensions, the size of the bed, personal preferences, habits, etc. The main thing is that you feel as comfortable as possible under the blanket so that it does not restrict your movements and does not slip out of bed.
Blankets are classified according to the following dimensions:
Baby;
- single;
- one and a half sleeping;
- double;
- double - euro-standard;
- non-standard.
The width of the first and second usually does not exceed 1 meter, one and a half reach a width of up to 1.5 meters, double - 2 meters. Custom blankets can be up to 5 meters wide. The standard for the length of a baby blanket is 1.4 meters. For an adult from 1.9 to 2.3 meters. A run of 10 cm is allowed.
To date, there are two full-fledged systems of measure of length: and English (common among American manufacturers and companies). These systems differ in different units of length: European - / centimeters and English - inches / feet.
In the early 2000s, GOST (R 51554-99) was issued in Russia, which introduced regulations for standardizing the size of blankets. The sizes of blankets for married couples were taken as a basis. In accordance with the new GOST, the sizes of blankets were divided into: children's, one and a half, double, double euro, family.
Blanket sizes
Baby: can be 110 x 140 cm or 140 x 140 cm. The blanket for babies is always offered in the form of a square with a side length of 120-140 cm.
