What are the sizes of duvet covers?

For a good sleep and rest, you need a comfortable bed with suitable linen. It often happens that the dimensions of the blanket and the duvet cover do not match, the blanket is crumpled or, conversely, creeps away, which cannot bring comfort to sleep. To avoid this, you should understand their size. To do this, there are domestic standards for duvet covers and foreign ones, which do not quite coincide with the Russian parameters.

In order not to get confused in the variety of sizes of duvet covers, you need to take into account some points. For example, single sets are rare for sale, as manufacturers ignore these sizes.

In addition, when choosing duvet covers you need to know the following parameters:

• mattress size;
• the size of the blanket;
• blanket thickness;
• Couple preferences: sleep under the same or under different blankets.

The size of the mattress is taken into account when buying a blanket. You can choose the right size for it, for a more comfortable dressing with a veil or with a reserve - then your blanket will frame the bed without a bed aesthetically.After that, find out the size of the blanket.

The blanket is measured with a conventional measuring tape or tape measure.

Standard:

• one and a half sleeping with 140x205 and 155x215;
• double 172x205 and 200x220.

Custom:

• one and a half-sleeping 160x205, 160x215, 160x220;
• double 180x210, 195x215, 200x200;
• royal: 220x240.

The thickness of the blanket must be taken into account in order to add 5–10 cm to the size indicated on the duvet cover label when choosing a duvet cover.

Some spouses prefer to sleep under one blanket, so they are advised to buy at least a large one-and-a-half, and for greater comfort - a double duvet cover of the Russian or European standard. There are such couples who are more comfortable to sleep under different blankets, in this case, the most suitable would be a family set with two duvet covers.

Choose the right duvet for you and enjoy a healthy and happy sleep.
