Standard bedding sizes

What are the sizes?

The table, which takes into account the complete set of sets, the parameters of the sides of each element, will best show the dimensions.

First, let's figure out what types of bedding sets are:

• single;
• one and a half;
• double;
• family;
• Euro;
• king size (euro maxi).

Domestic standards according to GOST RF

In our country, only the first 3 options fall under GOST.

There are also children - we will consider their classification in the corresponding section below.

Standard parameters of bed linen in accordance with Russian GOST:

European sizes

The sizes of bed linen in Europe and the equipment differ from domestic ones. Firstly, with the advent of fashion for the euro, narrow pillowcases (50x70) appear, and secondly, double covers for blankets and sheets become larger in size.

Separately can be distinguished bed IKEA: since the brand has not only linen, but also blankets, pillows, mattresses themselves, they produce sets for the dimensions of their products:

• pillows 50 * 70,
• duvet covers 150 * 200 or square 200 * 200,
• standard mattress covers 150 * 260, 240 * 260, stretch ones have a length of 200 and a width of 80-180 cm.

US size

The hardest part is choosing bedding according to US size and standards. Firstly, their mattresses have their own names and parameters. Closest to ours:

• Full... 137 * 190 cm.
• Queen... 152 * 203 cm.
• King... 193 * 203 cm.

Since the bedding is designed for the size of sleeping places, it is problematic, but possible, to use American linen on a Russian bed. The main thing to take into account the numbers:

Bed linen from Aliexpress

Originally, the textiles from this site were in line with Chinese standards. But since manufacturers, in pursuit of customers, try to please everyone, today in the store you can find both ordinary Russian dimensions of duvet covers and pillowcases, as well as American or European ones.

Designations in cards are given in accordance with the names of the United States: single, twin, full, queen, king, family.

What is included in the bedding set is usually indicated on the product card: pay attention not only to the position, but also to the mark pcs (pieces)... There are negligent sellers who reduce the price, but put only 1-2 pillowcases in family and euro sets.

The table will help you to roughly understand the possible size of bed linen, but more accurately it is better to look in each individual product:

Summary table of all sizes

Due to the differences between different species, countries and manufacturers, today you can find bedding sets for any bed. Here is a general list.

Types and standards

The dimensions of the bed, as well as the set of elements, primarily depend on the purpose, more precisely, on the bed on which it will be used.

Single

Suitable for beds up to 1 m. Includes one pillowcase (50 * 70 or 70 * 70), elastic or standard sheet (110-120 * 200), duvet cover ~ 135 * 200.

Recently, narrow beds have become less popular, so it is not easy to find such textiles on sale.

One and a half

The size of the bedding set "1.5" is designed for a berth up to 140 cm, but it is also suitable for narrower single beds. Unlike the previous one, there are no longer three components, but four: a sheet 150-160 by 200-220, a duvet cover 140-160 by 200, 2 pillowcases (50-70 by 70).

Most often, kits are sewn for children's and teenage rooms.

Double and Euro

The set is designed for a bed on which two people sleep: therefore, the duvet covers are wide (~ 180 * 210), the sheets are selected according to the mattress - standard: 200x220, but there may be 240x260.

The euro is distinguished from ordinary double linen by the number of pillowcases: 4 (2 squares, 2 rectangles) are put in euro, 2 - in a double linen.

Moreover, Russian manufacturers prefer square shapes, European, Chinese - rectangular.

Family

The main difference between the family set is 2 duvet covers. They are not as wide as in euros (~ 150 * 210), suitable for medium blankets.

Euro-maxi

This Euro size bedding set is a gimmick. Not often found, suitable for people who prefer real comfort and wide king size beds.

Sheets, duvet covers are impressive: 220 * 240 cm (mattress covers are 240 * 260).

Important! When choosing a large bed, remember - it will not be easy to find what to make it with, and non-standard textiles are expensive - sometimes twice as much as usual.

Features for a sheet with an elastic band

If you are tired of adjusting an ordinary cape, pay attention to the models with an elastic band: they are securely attached to the mattress and do not slip during sleep.

To choose the right one, you need to know 3 parameters: the width and length of the mattress, the height of the sides.

Keep in mind: the numbers on the package indicate the width and length of the bed for which the sheet is suitable, not its overall dimensions.

Children's sizes

Cribs for children are different, therefore, the size of the bed linen for them is also different:

• For newborns... Normal mattresses in cradles are 60 x 120 centimeters. In addition to a set of 3 items, bumpers are often used - pillows that protect the baby from hitting the edges of the crib.
• For small children... Since babies grow quickly, the width of the mattress remains 60, and the length increases to 140.
• For teenagers... Single teenage bed - 80x160. But it will be more comfortable to sleep on a meter-long single-bed or one-and-a-half.

In the selection of children's bedding, one should take into account the length, width, height (for stretch models) of the mattress, the parameters of the blanket and pillow.

The design for children is brighter, more colorful than an adult, but if you wish, you can purchase textiles in neutral shades without a pattern or with a minimalist print.

How to choose the size?

In order not to be mistaken in your choice, measure all your sleeping accessories: mattress, blanket, pillows. And with these notes, go to the store or search for suitable options on the Internet.

Most manufacturers allow you to assemble custom sets from individual components: so if you have two blankets that are wider than in a family set, or 4 pillows, just select the items separately.

Buying or sewing underwear that suits you does not require memorizing the standards of different countries. Arm yourself with a tape measure and measure your bed, and you can always see the dimensions on our website. So you definitely will not be mistaken with the choice and the underwear will delight you for more than one year.
