Sizes and standards of bedding

In order to avoid a situation in which when buying linen you have the wrong set: pillowcases of the wrong size, wrong size of duvet cover, large or small, it is important to understand what standards of linen exist today.

In this article we will try to deal with this issue. Let's talk about the size standards for bedding sets, find out what the Euro standard is and how it differs from the Ukrainian one.

Today in Ukraine there are two equal standards of bedding: Ukrainian, let's call it that, and Euro. Ukrainian is the standard that was introduced in our country. Blankets and pillows were sewn under it. Euros are big.

Which option to choose is up to you, of course. After all, the difference is really only in size. But definitely, when buying a set of bedding, you should remember what standard the blanket you took, otherwise you may be disappointed, since the duvet cover will be small or too large. However, it is additionally worth noting that the euro size is more comfortable for tall people. Yes, people taller than 175 cm will understand us. With the Euro standard, they don't have to curl their legs all the time. There is where to roam.

So, we highlight the following kit standards:

• Baby - for babies' crib, single and versatile. Suitable for all standard rectangular beds.
• One and a half - here we mean the "Ukrainian standard", it is optimal for one and a half beds when you sleep alone.
• Double - as the name implies, designed for double beds. Features a single duvet cover and sheet.
• Double, euro bed sheet - the blanket has the same size as in the "Ukrainian" standard, and the sheet is increased to the size of Euro.

• Euro 1 is the standard euro. More Ukrainian by 15-25 cm. It is in the Euro standard that rectangular pillowcases 50 * 70 are included. Pay attention to this when buying blankets, pillows and bedding sets.
• Euro 2 is an increased euro. Yes, it is rare, but there is also such an option. It is designed for very tall people. Its size is 20 cm longer than the standard Euro size.
• The family set is another option for a double bed. It comes with one sheet, two pillowcases and two duvet covers.

Below is the size chart. Everything is clear there.

Also, when buying bedding sets, pay attention to the size of the pillowcase. There are the following sizes:

• 40*60 - children's or decorative. As a rule, it is included in sets of children's linen, or purchased separately when the pillowcase acts as a decor.
• 50*70 - found in euro sets.
• 70*70 - Ukrainian standard pillowcase.

Actually, therefore, we advise you to carefully read the label, which should indicate the equipment, fabric composition and dimensions of all elements. If you are asked to bring unlabeled bedding, it will most likely be of poor quality.

Choose carefully, choose with IDEIA.
