Blanket sizes: what they are, their parameters and features

What standards are there?

Each country has its own standard sizes of blankets, focused on specific parameters of furniture or mattresses. Therefore, it is incorrect to assume that there is a single standard.

For example, in Russia a double blanket has the most common size - 172x205. Such parameters gained popularity in the Soviet Union and England. In Germany: 180 x 220, 200 x 220; in Spain 210×250, 200×210, etc.

There are less common models, for example, 200x200. The square blanket is hard to find, as is the bedding underneath. But they are easy to use: to change the duvet cover, you don’t need to look at which direction is “along” and which is “across”.

The width of a large double blanket can vary from 175 to 220 cm, length from 200 to 240 cm.

Besides size, there are other factors to consider:

• how much does it weigh;
• materials;
• filling.

Types

The textile industry offers a wide range of blankets. To distinguish them, you need to know the main categories of goods by size.

Single or semi-double

A single blanket is often purchased for a single or single bed. It is designed for an adult. The standard size of a one-and-a-half blanket is 140x205. There are other models:

• 150×210;
• 155×210;
• 130×220;
• 160×205.

1.5 sleeping blankets fit standard 160x220 beds.

They are also called family ones because many spouses prefer their own personal one-and-a-half-hour blanket. For this reason, bed linen sets are sold with a large sheet for a double bed and two duvet covers for a single bed.

Double blanket

The most popular blankets are for 2 bedrooms. They are very wide, so they are designed for two people and a large bed. Since Soviet times, the size of a double blanket with parameters 175x205 has firmly established itself. But the dimensions don't stop there. There are wider, longer, such sizes of 2-room models are called euro and euro maxi.

Euro and Euro maxi

Euro blankets, like one and a half blankets, have several size ranges. The most common size of a Euro blanket is 200x220. Bedding companies have recognized this value as universal and are actively producing products to these standards.

There are also models with parameters 195x215. They are not so common in Russia; they are more in demand in the CIS countries.

The largest blanket that can be found on sale: 220x240. It is also called “royal”. The maxi Euro blanket is suitable for tall people and lovers of huge beds: wide beds, three-seater sofas. However, users have a problem with finding bed linen; it is available, but it is not so easy to find, so many have to be sewn to order.

It is necessary to select the length and width taking into account the size of the mattress. To make the oversized blanket comfortable to wear, it is recommended to purchase this bed linen with dimensions slightly wider than the mattress.

Baby in crib

For children there is also no single meaning. Some are for children, others for teenagers. The following items may be on sale:

• 110x140cm;
• 125x150cm;
• 105x115cm;
• 80x90cm;
• 95x100cm.

The dimensions of the blanket are selected taking into account the height of the child and the parameters of the children's bed. For teenagers, it is better to buy a single or one-and-a-half bed.

Large size blankets

Since blankets are widely used as bedspreads, as a warm cape on a cold autumn evening, as a rug on the floor for children's games, and the like, it is advisable to purchase large-sized products. These include bedspreads with dimensions: 180x200, 200x200, 200x300, 220x240 and 240x260, 280x300 cm. Such products are suitable for both large corner sofas and double beds.

The shape of large size blankets can be rectangular or square, as well as with rounded edges. Their main advantages include:

• good thermal conductivity. They pleasantly warm you up in the cool season and give pleasant emotions;
• long service life;
• ease of care;
• aesthetic appearance;
• wide model range.

When choosing, you should take into account its design, color, length and width, and sewing materials. All large size blankets are divided into warm and light ones.

If the product will be placed on the sofa, it should be easy to care for and durable. If you purchase it for the purpose of keeping you warm on cold winter evenings, it is advisable to choose natural warm fabrics.

What size blankets are there?

First of all, it is worth mentioning that blankets are divided into children's, one-and-a-half, double, euro, “king” and non-standard sizes. Their names speak for themselves; they are intended for children, for one or two people. The name of the truck (the so-called family blanket) is associated not with the number of people it can transport, but with the width of the product - 1.5 m, and it is sewn both for teenagers and for spouses who are accustomed to sleeping under different blankets. Each of these blankets has its own characteristics. They may correspond to certain standard values, or they may differ from them. Let's take a closer look at what the size of a double blanket is.

The main differences between Euro blankets

The main difference between euro blankets and others is that they are multifunctional items.

Important! A Euro blanket can be used to cover a bed, sofa, or sofa. The euro cotton blanket is practical to use for children to play on the floor.

Euro blankets with their texture and dimensions can diversify the interior of a room. Euro blankets are made from materials that are very pleasant to the touch: faux fur, fleece, cotton, velsoft, microfiber.

Non-standard sizes are often made to order for specific non-standard furniture

How to use and store

Having purchased a Euro class product that meets all the requirements, you must use and store it correctly.

Caring for a wool blanket is not easy. Such a thing needs to be shaken out and aired often, but cannot be washed, especially in warm water. Also, do not use bleach or rub it to clean it, as it may ruin it. If you still decide to wash such a thing, then there is a little trick. To make your wool product look better, you can add 2 tablespoons of vinegar to 30 liters of water or replace the vinegar with a few tablespoons of freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Taking into account all of the above, you can easily choose from a huge number of European standard blankets the one that is right for you. Before purchasing euro products, read the label, which indicates the operating instructions, information about the material, filler and size. With the right blanket, your sleep will be sweet and sound.

They buy two blankets for the child - one for winter and one for summer, which helps to avoid hypothermia and overheating. It also matters what kind of insulation is inside the blanket. The main materials from which baby blankets are made include:

• Pooh. Suitable for apartments where the air temperature does not exceed +18. Duvets are made from goose, swan or loon feathers, which are lightweight, absorb moisture well and allow air to pass through.
• Wool. Use it in houses and apartments where it is cool or humid. Wool absorbs moisture and sweat, so your baby will always be dry while sleeping. Wool blankets are made from camel, sheep and llama wool.
• Bamboo. Lightweight, high quality, versatile material that is breathable and moisture wicking. Bamboo blankets are antibacterial and anti-allergenic.
• Sintepon. An artificial filling that is often used to make blankets. Suitable for dry rooms where it is cool. Sintepon does not contribute to the development of allergies, does not accumulate dust and extinguishes static electricity. At the same time, the material is somewhat worse than down, and bamboo allows fresher air to pass through.
• Hollow fiber. Recently it has been used for filling blankets, as it provides temperature regulation, normal air circulation, warms in winter, cools in summer.
• Cotton. It is considered a heavy material, so it is used less often for sewing blankets than wool, down or bamboo. In addition, cotton tends to wrinkle during washing.
• Wool. Expensive natural material with many advantages. Firstly, it does not cause allergies. Secondly, it protects against bacteria and moisture. Thirdly, it maintains normal temperature conditions.
• Bike. Fabric blankets are very light, pleasant and warm in winter. Flannel blankets do not require special care, last a long time, and do not wear out.
• Fleece or calico. These materials are used to sew checkered blankets, which are universal products.

When choosing a blanket for babies, there are several parameters to consider, the main one being the material. Linen and cotton products are suitable for the warm months of the year; plaids, woolen and quilts are suitable for winter and autumn.

Classification of blankets by degree of warmth

The degree of warmth is the warming quality of the product. On product packaging this indicator is displayed in numbers or dots, the number of which varies from 1 to 5. Not every manufacturer follows this rule. However, knowing the classification of products, you can easily choose the right option.

Types of degrees of heat:

1. Five points. Very warm models - made of wool and down, capable of keeping you warm at low temperatures. Especially suitable for those people who like to sleep with an open window.
2. Four. Warm - designed for European winters with temperatures up to -10 degrees and colder climates.
3. Three. Normal or all-season is a common middle type between summer and winter options. Suitable for moderate temperatures in the off-season.
4. Two. Lightweight - suitable for cool periods when heating is turned on or for warm spring.
5. One. Light - for hot weather. The main function is to retain body heat while sleeping on a cool summer night. The item must “breathe”, that is, ensure good air circulation.

When choosing a product based on the degree of warmth, you need to compare products based on the amount of filler. For those who prefer insulated items, a blanket with a lot of wool or down is suitable. Allergy sufferers should opt for synthetic products.
