Determining the size of double bed linen 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 between the sleepers free space, 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 USA this large furniture- 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 numbers indicated in it are purely advisory character. 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, blankets 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 parameters: 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 models: button, zip 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 the 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.
