Many buyers praise products from Russian brands. The main thing is to choose a good manufacturer that offers products made from natural fabrics.
• The number of people who will sleep in bed. If only one person will sleep in the bed, then the kit can be selected in a small size, but for two people it is worth choosing options with the largest possible dimensions.
• Dimensions of the bed. This criterion plays a decisive role in choosing the size of the sheet. If the bed is designed for one person, then, accordingly, the size of the sheet should be small. It is worth paying attention to the dimensions of the blanket, pillows and mattress. After all, some people prefer to sleep on large pillows and covered with large blankets, so the size of the duvet cover and pillowcase should be appropriate. It depends on personal preference.
• Design and colors. The appearance of the kit also plays an important role when choosing a one-and-a-half set. Experts recommend giving preference to monochromatic options, while paying attention to light versions. Usually light-colored bedding is made from higher quality fabrics.
• Price. Many buyers rely on the price of a set of bedding. Of course, you have to pay for excellent quality. It is not worth buying very cheap bedding, as it may be of poor quality or fake. You shouldn't skimp on comfort.

If the sheet is more than these indicators, which can also be, since the larger it is, the smoother it will lie on the bed. When choosing a sheet with an elastic band, it is worth starting from the information provided on the label. For example, the set contains the parameters 140x200 cm, which means that the dimensions of the mattress must be identical. Of course, bed linen with such a sheet is more expensive, but this option is characterized by ease of putting on, ease of fixation.
• Duvet cover. This element of the kit should fit perfectly on the blanket, then its use will be convenient and comfortable. Since linen and cotton models shrink slightly after the first wash, it is worth adding another 5 or 7 centimeters to the dimensions of the blanket. If the duvet cover is made of synthetic fabric, then three centimeters will be enough.
• Pillowcase. This element of bed linen from Russian and Chinese manufacturers has dimensions of 70x70 cm, but European brands produce models with a size of 50x70 cm.In order to tightly fix the pillowcase on the pillow, the valve must be deep - its length should be at least 20 cm. zippers or buttons.
