Bed size according to GOST standard for the Russian Federation

In the production of bed sets, almost all companies are guided by conventional sizes. At the same time, there are GOSTs (still Soviet), which are somewhat different from the sizes currently used. In addition, in the old standards there is no data on modern family or European kits. In the table below you will find information on bed sizes according to GOST for the RF:

Types, standards and equipment bedding sets

Sets of bed linen can vary not only in size. Picking may include a different number of items. For example, a family set that targets a couple, sleeping under different blankets, includes two duvet covers at once. They can be both single and one and a half size. At the same time, eurosets and other sets for large beds may include two extra pillow cases. They will not necessarily have identical sizes with two main ones. For example, for some manufacturers, a duvet cover, a sheet, 2 70x70 cm pillowcases and 2 50x70 cm pillowcases can be included in one euro set. These features should also be paid attention to when buying. As for the beds for children and adolescents, they are made according to separate standards.

Single beds

Single sets include a duvet cover (135x200), a pillowcase (50x70), a sheet (110x200). Often used for single beds or small sofas. The kit includes only one pillowcase that should be considered when buying products. Suitable for use by people who sleep alone. Ideal for students living in a dorm. The disadvantage of such sets is the standard size of the pillowcase, which does not allow using it for square pillows. Textiles made from different fabrics. True, to find a modern single set of bamboo fabric or its analogues is quite difficult. There is a special subspecies of such sets - children. They are made from fabrics with thematic drawings. But they are not suitable for putting on special children's bedding. Therefore, they can only be used for single beds with pillows and duvet covers in standard sizes.

One and a half

The one and a half sleeping bag, as opposed to a single bed set, is large and can include one or two pillowcases. It is ideal for sleeping beds folding sofas, as well as for one and half beds and single beds. The sizes of these sets are as follows: a duvet cover - 145x215 cm, a pillowcase - 70x70 cm, a sheet - 180x220 cm. A tarpaulin bag is ideal for making beds with a low mattress. The presence of a small mattress will provide ease of tucking the sheet and eliminate its displacement during sleep. Also such sets for a dream not only one, but also two people can be used. True, the second option is not practical enough: it is quite difficult for two adults to fit under one and a half-sleeping blanket.

Double beds

Modern double sets include the following textiles: 2 pillowcases (70x70 cm), a duvet cover (175x215 cm), a sheet (180x220 cm). Such models are ideal for double beds with any mattress height. Usually used by couples: under a large blanket two adults can easily fit. Suitable for guest folding sofas with the resulting 2-bed for sleeping and relaxing. In the modern market of bed linen such models are considered among the most popular. Therefore, they are made from a wide variety of materials, including expensive bamboo and linen fabrics.

Double beds are also suitable for beds on which a small child and parents sleep. This is ideal for families where the baby does not sleep well at night or for families with newborns.

European standards

Bedding sets with a mark of "euro" are ideal for double beds with high mattress. Due to the large size of the euro sheet is very easy to refuel under the mattress, eliminating its displacement. The European standard of bed linen has the following parameters: a duvet cover - 200x220 cm, a pillowcase - 70x50 cm (or 70x70 cm), a sheet - 220x240 cm. The distinctive features of such sets include the possibility of using for non-standard sofas or beds. For example, for oval beds. Despite the unusual form of upholstered furniture, covering it with euro-sheet does not seem complicated. The same applies to sofas with a curved butt: due to the large size of the bed sheet, it will be neatly hidden under the bedding textiles.

Euro Maxi - King size

A distinctive feature of Euro-maxi sets is the increased size of the duvet cover. Its parameters are 220x240 cm (in contrast to the usual euro with dimensions of 200x220 cm). The main advantage of a large duvet cover is its ease of use for a large bed. In addition, to accommodate a non-standard blanket 220x240 cm in an ordinary duvet cover simply will not work. Such models are ideal for luxury double beds. They will ensure the comfort of sleep for tall people for whom models with ordinary euro parameters may not be enough. In addition, they will bring a special aesthetic appeal to the bedroom: a beautiful large blanket is ideal for any bed. The disadvantages include the difficulty in finding such models. Not every manufacturer offers them. You can find them only in European and American companies. Since such products are popular precisely abroad.

Baby and teen bedding

An important difference in bed sets for children and adolescents is the smaller size of pillowcases - 40x60 cm. The reason for this is the need to use smaller pillows due to the anatomical features. Otherwise, children's sets for regular beds (not cots!) Have the size of single sets. But for teenagers, you can pick up similar bed sets with a custom pillow and identical single or one and a half sleeping blankets and bed sheets. When choosing such models, particular attention should be paid to the certificates specified by the manufacturer. Often, fabrics with bright patterns are used for their tailoring. And so that the paint from the fabric does not fade and is harmless, you need to make sure of this by examining the detailed description of the products and confirming their safety with special certificates.

Features of bed linen for newborns

As for the beds for the smallest, they often have non-standard sizes, since they are made up not on a regular bed, but in a crib. The standard sizes for such models are: a duvet cover - 110x150 (there is also a variant 112x147), a pillowcase - 40x60 (or 40x40), a bed sheet - 120x150. Models of European production have several other parameters: a pillowcase - 40x60, a duvet cover - 100x120, a bed sheet - 120x170. Therefore, when buying foreign goods should take into account such dimensional differences, so as not to lose money in choosing a children's bed. Also, many kits are sold together with special limiters that are installed around the perimeter of the crib inside (for example, there are kits with sides from Ikea). They will eliminate the danger of hitting the child on the wooden elements when he will play or during sleep. The stopper usually has the appearance of thin cushions with ties stitched together.

Tips for choosing ready-made kits

To select a suitable set, special attention should be paid to used pillows, blankets. And to make the sheet easy and simple to refuel, you should also measure the mattress of the bed (or the sleeper of the sofa). It is recommended to select sets with full matching size pillowcases pillows. After all, when buying square pillowcases 60x60 cm, they will have to be tied up (or even better hemmed) to the size of rectangular pillows 40x60 cm used. The size of the duvet cover should also correspond to the size of the blanket used. If two single or one-and-a-half blankets are used at once, then the owners should choose one family suite or purchase two identical single / one-and-a-half blankets. As for the sheet, its parameters should be 10-15 cm larger than the size of the mattress (or more with a high mattress). This will ensure ease of fixing the web and will prevent it from moving down, shifting during sleep. A sheet with an elastic band is also selected according to a similar scheme, since it must have a reserve to put it neatly on the mattress.

When buying bed linen from the United States, consider the specified dimensions in inches. At the same time, American kits differ somewhat in size from the Russian ones.

Independent tailoring of an adult bed set

For self-tailoring kit bed for adults necessarily need a sewing machine. It is advisable to use a model with overlock. Additional processing of edges of a cloth will exclude its satinization in the future. Also, work will require a centimeter and a ruler. Using a centimeter is to measure the currently used bed (removed from the bedding). Such a trick will help to sew the perfect set. But with the help of a ruler you will need to do the pattern markup. For the convenience of marking cuts on a large piece of fabric, you can use soft chalk, remnants, or a special textile marker (for example, washable or disappearing over time). The marker itself must be selected in a color that is different from the fabric. As for the threads, ordinary sewing threads, matched to the background of the fabric used, will work.

How to choose fabric

It is necessary to select the fabric for sewing the kit, taking into account its characteristics and appearance features:

  • calico;

The most popular material due to the use of thickened yarns and simple weaving. Long enough serves well tolerates frequent washing. True, it does not have shine or special softness.

  • bamboo;

The original canvas, which has a dense weave. But at the same time the fabric itself has little weight. It tolerates washing. A special quality of the web is its antimicrobial properties.

  • satin;

The expensive fabric differing in the increased wear resistance. It is made of double threads, weaving - twisted. Thanks to these features, it has a maximum service life. The surface of the material has a gloss.

  • jacquard;

Thin, but very durable fabric with a volume woven pattern. It tolerates washing. May have a slight shine, rather soft.

  • linen fabric;

High-quality linen fabric has a tight weave. Does not have shine and even looks rude. It has a significant weight. True, it can serve for many years.

  • batiste.

Lightweight fabric with loose weave. It has an attractive appearance (no gloss), rather soft. However, differs in short service life.

Silk and satin sets are very attractive due to their brilliance. But the material itself is difficult to prepare for sewing, in addition, such kits tend to constantly shift because of its “slipperiness”.

Dimensions and cutting pillow cases

It is advisable to buy fabric for sewing only after calculating the size of the desired cut. This will eliminate the overrun of material and a large number of scraps. The width is calculated according to the following scheme: 1.5 cm on the gate and hemming (so that the fabric does not roll) on both sides + size of the width of the pillow. That is, for a cushion of 60x60 cm, a cut of fabric with a width of 63 cm (1.5 + 60 + 15) is required. The length is calculated as follows: 1.5 cm for the turn and hemming for two sides + two pillow lengths + 20 cm for the valve inside (for fixing the pillow). For a cushion of 60x60 cm you will need a cut with a length of 143 cm (1.5 + 60 + 60 + 20 + 1.5). The sewing itself is carried out according to the following instructions:

  1. Tightening the side parts of the fabric (1.5 cm): you need to make 2 turns 5 cm on each side, and then fix the turns by hand (to simplify their stitching). Sew side parts.
  2. Iron ironing places flexion tissue (on the edge of the pillow and on the valve). Tap the valve by hand.
  3. Sweep aside the pillowcase folded in half by hand (along with the note on the flap). Stitch.
  4. Remove auxiliary threads (used for marking).

Dimensions and cutting blanket

To make a duvet cover with a hole at the bottom, you will need to prepare a cut of fabric with the following parameters:

  • the width includes two widths of the used blanket + 20 cm (10 cm each for the turns on both sides);
  • The length includes two lengths of used blanket + 20 cm (10 cm on each side for the gate and hemming).

Optionally, you can add 5 cm to the length and width so that the blanket can fit more freely inside. But usually such additions lead to his moving inside the duvet cover and the inconvenience of harboring them. Self tailoring duvet is as follows:

  1. The cut is stitched on each side to eliminate satin fabric. It is necessary to do 2 turns of 3 cm each, fix the deferred turns of the thread manually. Then the cloth is stitched by the machine, and the auxiliary threads are removed.
  2. The prepared fabric folds in half (lengthwise). The fabric folded in half is recommended to be ironed.
  3. Sewn two widths and one length of fabric.
  4. The location of the hole for the blanket is marked. It is advisable to leave about 15-20 cm.
  5. The remaining non-crosslinked parts are stitched together according to the marks previously placed for the hole on the duvet cover.

How to sew a sheet with an elastic band

All the complexity of sewing sheets on an elastic band is the need to assemble the edge of the product for sewing elastic. The work will require a cut of fabric, calculated according to this scheme:

  • the width of the cut-off includes the width of the blanket used + 60 cm (from the central part, which will be laid on the mattress, it is necessary to mark 30 cm on both sides for the manufacture of the side on the mattress);
  • the length of the cut includes the length of the blanket + 60 cm (30 cm from each side should be added on each side).

After the markup is completed, a kind of cross will be produced, from which the sheet will be stitched. The length of the gum is chosen as follows: 2 lengths + 2 blanket widths: 2. That is, its length will be half the perimeter of the mattress. Tailoring is carried out as follows:

  1. Each edge is twisted 2 times by 2 cm, and stitched (to exclude satin thread).
  2. On the seamy side, the parts, which in the future will be located on the vertical edges of the mattress, are sewn together.
  3. The perimeter of the received sheet is rolled up 3 cm and stitched. Next, in the resulting valve will be placed gum. Therefore, you need to leave a small hole for threading.
  4. An elastic is passed through the valve (for example, with a pin).
  5. The edges of the gum stitched. And the hole left for its threading is carefully sewn by hand.
