Bed linen euro sizes - table
This is a large table that shows both Euro and Russian sizes of bed linen, I’ll show you another table like this
or this table is even clearer - choose whichever is more convenient
Double bed linen sizes
Double bedding sets will fit well on beds from 140 cm by 200 cm, where 140 cm is the width, but the standard bed width is 160 cm
Accordingly, this set is suitable for such a bed
Typically this kit includes:
double duvet cover width from 163 cm and length from 215 cm
bed sheet width 145 cm to 200 cm and length from 215 cm to 230 cm
Therefore, pay attention, if you have a bed with a width of 160 cm and you want to buy a double set, then the width of the sheet should be maximum for this size - 180 cm, otherwise you simply will not tuck it into the bed and such a set will turn out to be unusable
The euro double set already has a larger width and length and it is more advisable to buy it in such a situation
How to choose the right blanket: recommendations
With an impressive abundance, it is important not to make a mistake in choosing. To ensure that the Euro size of the blanket fits exactly, and that future purchases do not disappoint, you should start by measuring the dimensions of the bed (sofa) adjusted for the height of the mattress. Ease of use and maximum comfort will be provided by a model whose length and width are slightly larger than the measurements received.
When purchasing, it is recommended to proceed from the following criteria and adhere to the basic principles of making the right choice:
- number of people sleeping - one large blanket for two will ensure better air circulation (due to tension), the body will be able to “breathe”. If your sleep patterns don't match, you should opt for two separate blankets. An additional argument in favor of this choice is the ease of care for smaller products - they are easier to wash, dry, and take up less space during storage;
- height and build - optimal when the length of the product is 30 cm greater than the height of the tallest bed partner. The width is determined by the sum of the distances between them, at the moment when the partners sleeping next to each other lie on their backs with their arms apart and bent at the elbows - this distance ranges from 1.8-2.5 m;
- sleeping place parameters - the correct blanket is 30-40 cm larger than the width. If the indicator exceeds the width of the bed by 50-60 cm or more, the edges will hang down greatly, the blanket will fall off under its own weight, and it will become extremely difficult to pull it on;
- individual preferences - the desire for space or a feeling of closeness, sensitivity to sleep, the habit of sleeping like a star, throwing arms or legs, spinning in your sleep, turning over often, etc.;
- there are no problems with choosing a suitable duvet cover - to avoid unpleasant surprises, it is advisable to find out this in advance. If you purchased an item of non-standard size, it is possible that you will have to contact a sewing workshop that specializes in sewing bed linen to order for a specific client. When purchasing a Euro standard product, there will be no difficulties in purchasing bedding sets. According to the rules, the duvet cover should be 5-15 cm larger; it is also important to take into account the ability of fabrics made from natural fibers to “shrink” when washed. If necessary, it is permissible to sew in an existing duvet cover. You should know that a type of duvet cover that involves tucking the blanket through the side cutout is preferable.
How to determine size
The exact size of the bedding used for covering must be indicated on the label or front of the package. This is a set of numbers representing the ratio of length and width. Unit of measurement: centimeters or inches, translation is not difficult - 1 inch equals 2.54 cm.
What other characteristics and features should you pay attention to before purchasing:
- what fabric the cover is made of - it is desirable that the material has high strength, hypoallergenic properties, has a dense structure, does not require complex care, tolerates washing well, and does not accumulate static electricity;
- quality of the product - you can focus on the cost or trust a well-known and reliable manufacturer, but it is recommended to check all the declared properties yourself. Following the advice, you need to carefully inspect and feel the seams, stitches throughout, the stability and uniformity of color, examine the item for the presence of minor defects, protruding excess threads, stains;
- warranty - consult about a possible exchange, return (minimum period - 2 weeks), other additional guarantees provided by the seller or manufacturer. Make sure that the label contains all the information that is significant for the user (and reliable!): parameters, composition, how to properly care for the textile product.

Surely you have heard the designation related to bed - “duet”, what is it? This is the so-called “family” set (more details at the link), it includes 2 “one-and-a-half” duvet covers, 1 large sheet and 2-4 pillowcases. For a sleeping place 160-180 cm. An excellent option when one of the couple (or both) likes to wrap themselves in a blanket.
The most common size of duvet covers in such bedding sets is 150x210, but if you want more, pay attention to Turkish products (160x220). But among the Austrian ones there may be short products. This is not a rule, but it is still worth paying attention to this point.
As an example, we have made a correspondence table for bed linen sizes: a selection according to the standards of different countries.

Russia | 150x215 | 220x240 | 50x70 (2) + 70x70 (2) |

And this is what the family kit looks like:
When choosing bed linen, pay attention to the characteristics and quality of the fabric.
I recommend choosing 100% natural fabrics for your child; the absence of appliqués is also important, because the child’s delicate skin can be irritated by any embroidery, lace or appliqués.
* it is necessary that the fabric allows air to pass through and allow the baby’s delicate skin to breathe
* bedding for children should be odorless - this can also be immediately felt when opening the package, only the smell of the fabric is allowed,
* it is better if the set is with zippers, and not with buttons, so that if it comes off the child will not be able to choke on it, and it is better if the underwear is completely without accessories
* in addition, children's bedding should be hypoallergenic and pleasant to the touch
* preferable fabrics such as calico (good quality, not budget options), interlock, flannel, poplin, satin
* not very bright, irritating colors are preferable for a child, and if the underwear has an image of his favorite cartoon character, then that’s even better - it will help you put him to bed, but don’t forget about the naturalness of the fabric?
the only exception is the canopy, which can be made of different materials, including synthetic ones,
but the main property that you need to pay attention to is its ability to pass air
Crib bumpers - the right choice
Today there can be a great variety of them, for example,
pillow bumpers - they can be made in different ways, with different prints - this is a matter of taste, but if we talk about the essence of the issue, then these are actually pillows that are connected to each other, or tied to the crib
they look beautiful, but you need to understand how to do this from the point of view of the design itself, how to fix it all so that the baby cannot put his arms or legs in the gap between these pads...
The second option is the usual side skirts , they can be made in either a removable fabric version or a non-removable version
What you should pay attention to when choosing:
* for ease of washing - maybe they don’t look so impressive, but this design is the most convenient and practical to use (because it can be removed and washed, and believe me, you will have to do this anyway, especially when the child grows up)
and the third design is the so-called design of small pillows , it looks very nice - it’s something between cushion sides and a traditional regular side - it’s more of an aesthetic interior story,
but in order to somehow relieve the load on these sides, additional rollers are often used and such a thing can also be washed when necessary
Fabric for bed linen - which fabric is best to buy from?
What types of bed linen fabrics are there?
Based on their composition, fabrics are divided into natural, artificial and synthetic
Natural - healthy cotton, linen, silk
Artificial are no less useful types of viscose, which are produced from natural wood cellulose
Synthetic is a low-cost, wear-resistant polyester that is made from oil or gas
Percale is a dense fabric that is resistant to wear.
Flannel is a warm, soft fabric that has the ability to pill.
When talking about natural fabrics, one cannot fail to mention linen and silk.
Linen, although rough to the touch, feels like bed linen, but is durable in strength and wear resistance
Silk is not inferior to linen in wear resistance, but has a pleasant, smooth surface
Artificial fabrics such as bamboo satin last a long time and are expensive, but it must be said that this fabric is practically wrinkle-resistant
Tencel is a lighter, thinner, smoother fabric. Very nice and silky, not as strong as silk and therefore not as durable
Bamboo jacquard is also very pleasant to the touch, but some may find the fabric a little heavy
Synthetic fabrics for bed linen are presented in two types: artificial silk and microfiber, although they are pleasant to the touch, tend to dry just as quickly, but they also have their disadvantages:
microfiber does not allow air to pass through well, so sleeping on such a bedding will not be very comfortable and this is not very good for health, and artificial silk, unlike natural silk, is rougher, not as pleasant to the touch as natural silk, and is also slippery
Types of children's bedding "Standard" with size chart
Whatever material children's sleeping sets are made from, they must meet specific parameters. You should choose them by first measuring the dimensions of your child’s bedroom furniture.

Sets for newborns
When a child appears in the house, parents try to provide him with all the necessary supplies individually. This also applies to bed linen. For newborns, there are separate options that are suitable for cradles and cribs. The table shows the most popular sizes of sheets, pillowcases and duvet covers.
Pillowcase dimensions, cm | Sheet dimensions, cm | Duvet cover dimensions, cm |
60×40 70×50 70×70 | 150×120 210×150 214×150 260×180 | 147×115 210×150 215×143 220×160 |
Some parts of the kit can be used for further covering of playpens, changing tables and larger beds. Usually one bedding set lasts for two to three years.
PHOTO: krovati-shkafi.ru Make sure that the bedding does not hang from the child’s bed. The edges will fray and get dirty.
For preschoolers and teenagers
Typically, bed linen is divided according to the age of the children. It is necessary to separate preschool kits from teenage kits. After all, the baby has absolutely no need for spacious duvet covers or sheets. It is very easy to get confused in them. Therefore, more detailed dimensions of bed linen can be found in the correspondence table.
Name | Dimensions, cm | Age, years |
Pillowcases | 35×45 40×40 40×60 | 3-4 |
sheet | 120×150 120×180 120×170 | |
Duvet cover | 100×147 110×140 115×147 | |
Pillowcases | 40×60 50×70 70×70 | 5-12 |
sheet | 150×215 156×220 | |
Duvet cover | 140×205 145×215 150×200 |
Good to know! Children's bedding should not be close to the size of the bed. For example, the wider and longer the sheet is than the mattress, the more convenient it is to tuck it inside. It will not constantly wrinkle, and the child’s sleep will remain comfortable.
How to choose bed linen
Now let's learn more about bed linen fabrics
Pay attention to calico - these are plain weave fabrics; calico is a light and dense fabric, but it is harsh to the touch and wears out quite quickly
When purchasing such bed linen, pay attention to the weave - it should be uniform
calico can be different, but it has a plain weave, there is also poplin and percale
What is the difference between poplin and calico? It is simply softer and, accordingly, more flexible than calico, a little rougher, the structure of the fabric is finely ribbed, pleasant to the touch, but the fabric is subject to rapid wear,
and if you came to the store and saw percale bed linen, then you don’t need to be scared
Percale also has a plain weave. However, the threads from which this fabric is made are thinner than calico or poplin, so the fabric is softer and smoother, very comfortable and very pleasant, and therefore I highly recommend this bed linen
If you are ready to spend a little more money on bedding, then I recommend paying attention to satins
Naturally, this is a different level, very comfortable and pleasant, smooth fabrics and sleeping on them, of course, is a pleasure and bliss
Therefore, if you want to buy bed linen that will last you for many years and will be very pleasant and comfortable for sleeping, then I recommend, of course, satins
The first type of satin that I want to consider is a smooth, very comfortable satin, it is made from long pile cotton, and in fact, can serve you for many, many years
In addition to smooth satins, there are also jacquard statins
What is satin jacquard? This is when a fabric pattern is obtained not by dyeing the fabric, but by interweaving fabric threads
The jacquard pattern can be very different - it is not necessarily a stripe, a checkered pattern - very often two colors of fabric are used and the result is very interesting bed linen with attractive colors
For example, for children, some factories make children's jacquard colors in the form of mushrooms, cars, umbrellas, and children really like such underwear; in addition, it is also very high quality and comfortable
Satins are not always affordable, but you want to sleep on smooth, comfortable and silky linen, and so factories began to produce a fabric called twill satin
it is cheaper than classic satin and also has a plain weave, but it is already twill
This fabric has a lower density than satin and its difference is that not reactive dyes are used here, but pigment dyeing, and the dyes are not as well fixed to the fabric as in satins.
Therefore, here you need to follow the washing regime, set the temperature in the washing machine to no higher than 40 degrees and the spin mode to no more than 600 revolutions, and then the fabric will serve you for a long time and its color will delight you
And I also want to emphasize that this fabric is very worthy and pleasant and cheaper than more expensive fabrics
So, we have sorted out the fabric, how to choose bed linen according to other criteria
First you need to turn, for example, the pillowcase inside out and see what kind of seam is used on the side seams
High-quality linen is processed with a linen seam, otherwise the seams may unravel after several washes. And if the edges are not processed, then such bed linen should be avoided altogether
The next criterion is the smell, just smell the set, if it smells like textiles - this is high-quality linen
And if you smell paint, this means that the laundry will most likely shed heavily and may even cause skin irritation or allergies,
But let’s check the color fastness by simply rubbing the fabric hard, your hands should remain clean, no traces of paint on your palms
In order for the linen to retain its appearance and brightness of colors for a long time, you must follow the operating instructions. Very often, manufacturers recommend washing clothes no higher than 40 degrees
The right bedding will not only add a positive feeling to your day, but can keep you healthy and well for a long time... please remember this...
Types of bed linen for adults: offers from Russian manufacturers
If we talk about underwear from a Russian manufacturer, it is very difficult to notice some inconsistencies. Although sometimes they differ by 10-15 cm from GOST standards. It is worth noting that dubious textile companies can even make a duvet cover smaller than a sheet. This all happens due to the need to focus on the variety of blankets, their structure and sewing options.
PHOTO: homemagazin.com.ua Sometimes even due to the quality of the material there can be a difference in size
Sizes of single and one-and-a-half bed linen
Each option includes one duvet cover and one sheet. Depending on the chosen model, the number of pillowcases can vary from 1 to 2. The only difference between these sets is that one and a half pillowcases can fit an average married couple. Let's consider the sizes of bed linen "one and a half":
- Sheet - from 145x200 cm;
- Duvet cover - from 110-140 cm to 125-150 cm;
- Pillowcases - from 25x30 cm to 40x60 cm.
PHOTO: market.leroymerlin.ru If in doubt which option to choose, one and a half is considered an alternative
It is worth noting that the minimum size of a sleeping set today is one and a half standard bed linen. Often, “single beds” for adults are no longer produced. Tailoring is possible only to order. When purchasing, you need to study the components of the laundry, which are listed on the packaging:
- the designation Single or 1-bed informs the consumer that there is one pillowcase included in the set;
- There are sets that do not have a sheet;
- There are high-quality models with a main and spare duvet cover.
Sometimes sets are made too narrow, so they may not fit on the bed. Therefore, you should initially find out the parameters of the bed.
Double and family bedding sizes
PHOTO: ok.ru Many married couples prefer to cover themselves with an individual blanket, so the “Family” set will come in handy
Double sets have wider parameters. The family bedding set has increased sizes, it includes 3-4 pillowcases, 1 sheet, and one duvet cover. This set for one-and-a-half berths includes two duvet covers. The parameters of all components are as follows:
- pillowcases - 70x70 cm;
- duvet cover - 175x215 cm;
- sheet - 180x220 cm;
- family duvet covers - 145x215 cm.
As a rule, a family PBC always has the same dimensions and easily fits a bed of 160x180 cm. It is a universal thing.
PHOTO: postel-deluxe.ru Many sets vary in size, since the sheet can be sewn with holding elastic bands
Bed linen sizes “Euro” and “Euro-Maxi”
The sizes of bed linen “Euro” and “Family” correspond to the dimensions of the “Queen” bed. The components are usually the same, regardless of which country the set was released in. The Euro bedding set includes the components from the size chart:
- duvet cover - 200×250 cm;
- sheet - 250×290 cm;
- pillowcases 70×70 cm² or 50×70 cm.
As for Euro-Maxi bed linen, they are considered the largest size, so they are suitable for specially selected pillows and blankets. The width of the bed for such a set must be at least 180 cm. The sheet and duvet cover have some discrepancy, but their standard size is 220×240 cm. In such models you can find a designation like “50×70+5 (70×70+5)” . This suggests that the pillowcases have a decorative edging.

How to wash bed linen
This is practically the most necessary thing in our home, different types of fabric need to be washed differently and the higher the quality of the fabric, the longer it will last us
A few basic rules on how to wash bed linen:
Newly purchased bedding must be washed before first use.
It is better to wash bed linen once a week, then it does not have time to become very dirty and can be easily washed in a washing machine
in winter, when a person sweats less and often sleeps in pajamas, bed linen can be changed once every two weeks
By the way, in Europe it is customary to change the bed once every 10 days, but there it is ventilated and the temperature in the bedrooms is usually lower than in Russian apartments, since there is often no heating
pillowcases come into most contact with the skin of the face and hair, so it is advisable to change them more often, about once every 2-3 days, so it would not hurt to have a supply of them
colored bed linen is washed separately from white
Linens made from different types of fabrics also need to be washed separately from each other
Children's underwear can also be washed separately
We check the weight of the laundry visually, half a drum or a little more, otherwise it will not be washed well and will not be rinsed
Next, select the washing mode according to the fabric: cotton, synthetic, and so on.
You can, of course, set a quick wash and set the temperature you need, but only if the laundry is not too dirty
White linen can be washed at a temperature of more than 40 degrees, but I don’t recommend colored clothes, no more than 60 degrees
and I also want to show you one secret: how to wash a sheet with an elastic band - I put it in a small bag made of thin fabric and wash it that way, it’s much more convenient
Main dimensions of blankets
Each parameter of products from a Russian manufacturer is based on standards approved by GOST R 51554-99. Despite the large size range, deviation from the requirements should not exceed 3%. In recent years, due to the emergence of goods from foreign companies, the Euro standard size has appeared, which is in great demand.
The dimensions of the product vary relative to its main dimensions, which are generally considered to be:
