European standard bedding: features and sizes

Nowadays, the assortment of bed linen is so wide that you can easily "get lost" in it. Today, European standard product sets are especially popular and in demand. Such models are famous for their convenience and optimal dimensional parameters, which made them so popular. Today we will get acquainted with such bedding and find out what its features are.

Surely everyone has heard this combination at least once in his life - a Euro-set of bed linen. Many have heard of him, but not everyone knows what he is. Some people mistakenly believe that the word "euro" means an indicator of the quality of a product, but in this case it has a different meaning. With regard to bedding, the designation "euro" indicates certain dimensional parameters of products, as well as their performance characteristics.

Lingerie, made in accordance with the European standard, differs in many respects from other types of similar products. For example, the main difference between Eurobed and standard double sets is the size of the sheets and duvet covers included in the set. In European versions, these things are longer and wider.

There is a difference in the number of pillowcases included in the bedding set. So, in the configuration of the "euro" standard, there may be more than two of them, and these parts can be made in different colors, and their sizes may vary. In standard double sets, there are usually only two identical pillowcases with the same parameters. When there are 4 pillowcases in the headset at once, then one pair of them has a simple square shape, equal size values ​​and color (the color corresponds to the color of the sheet from the set), and the other pair is represented by rectangular pillowcases that have a more elegant and elite design (these details are usually repeat the design of the duvet cover).

Euro underwear can also be compared with the family sets popular today. The latter are usually supplied with two one-and-a-half duvet covers, but there is always only one sheet. Its minimum size in a family set is at least 220x240 cm. According to users and experts, family sets can be used as a good alternative to Euroblanks, since they also have impressive dimensions.

Do not rush to go to the store to buy bed linen until you know what is included in the set. European standard products are insanely popular today and are chosen by many consumers. They differ in good sets. For example, standard Euro kits contain the following components:

• duvet cover;
• a sheet that is the same size as the duvet cover;
• different number of pillowcases (from 2 to 4 pieces).

European standard bedding is different. Various modifications have their own distinctive characteristics. Let's get acquainted with them.

It is customary to determine the dimensions of Euro class bed linen by the dimensions of the duvet cover.So, products from the "standard" category are designed for blankets, the dimensional parameters of which (in accordance with the size table) are 195x215 cm (optimal specimen), 200x200, 200x220 cm. As for the parameters of the sheets, they can be different. It will be possible to choose the right option for almost any bed, up to rare models with dimensions of 200x220 cm.

Euro linen from this category is an enlarged version of the standard options. In many cases, the number “2” is used instead of the “maxi” mark on the laundry packages. In our country, such specimens are not produced, and they can be found extremely rarely on the shelves. As a rule, such products are made by manufacturers from Turkey, China and Europe. Perhaps the absence of such products in Russian stores is due to their low popularity and demand, because beds of the corresponding sizes are almost never found in our stores.

The level of sleep and rest comfort on the bed directly depends on the choice of suitable bedding. Kits made according to the European standard are very popular today. Most often, there are options on sale, the sizes of which are as follows:

• duvet cover - 200x200 cm;
• euro sheet (can be simple or elastic) - 220x250 cm;
• pillowcases - 50x70 or 70x70 cm.

Such bed linen is made from a variety of materials. The final cost of the kit depends on this parameter. Here are the most popular types of fabrics used in the production of Euro underwear.

• Bamboo. Environmentally friendly and safe material with antibacterial properties. It produces very soft and delicate linen, pleasant to the body. Outwardly, bamboo is similar to the more expensive silk or cashmere.
• Satin. Material consisting of synthetic or CB fibers. Satin Euro linen is very popular, as it is dense enough and has a pleasant sheen. Satin products are one of the most practical and are not afraid of frequent washings.

• Calico. One of the most popular fabrics in the production of bed linen. It is used to make both everyday and formal Euro underwear sets. The material itself is practical and durable, looks elegant and expensive.
• Batiste. Textile with a unique weave of threads. Batiste linen is light and airy. It has an attractive and translucent appearance. However, cambric euro linen is not very wearable. Soon, noticeable "bald spots" will appear on the material, so you should not use such products every day. And the price is quite high.

• Percale. This is a plain weave cotton fabric. Has a matte and velvet surface. Percale Euro linen can keep warm, but at the same time it is able to "breathe", thereby creating a very cozy atmosphere. Percale sets are durable and durable.
• Cotton. The most popular material used in the production of both standard and euro linen. Cotton products are affordable. In winter, sleeping with such models is not cold, and in summer it is not hot. However, one must take into account that high quality cotton will last a long time, but cheap material will shrink after the first wash, so you should not save on buying cotton euro underwear.

• Silk. One of the most expensive and luxurious are the elite European sets made of natural silk. They look unbeatable, but they are quite moody. It is not recommended to wash such products in a regular washing machine - it is better to turn to dry cleaning services. If you neglect this rule, the thing will quickly become unusable and get noticeable damage.
• Rayon. Euro linen made from this raw material looks the same as natural silk options, but it costs several times cheaper and is less demanding in terms of care. That is why most buyers turn to such models, and not to natural ones.

As for the color parameters of euro linen, monochromatic options are more common here. It can be a variety of colors, from light and delicate to dark and brutal. Finding the best option will work for environments made in any style and color scheme. You can also find options with unobtrusive prints. It can be floral motifs, all kinds of geometric shapes, checkered patterns, 3D images, animals and many other elements.

The European standard bedding set must be chosen correctly. Let's pay attention to a number of important criteria that should be considered when choosing the right product.

• Dimensions. Before you go to the store to buy euro linen, you should measure the parameters of the length and width of your bed. Based on the identified parameters, a product is selected. The linen should not be too large or too small, otherwise it will be uncomfortable to sleep on.
• Sewing quality. Pay attention to the quality of the item and its packaging. The product must be free of damage or any other defect. If those have come into your field of vision, then it is better to refuse the purchase. A low-quality product will not last long and you will have to buy another set, and this is an extra waste.

• Material. Look for quality kits made from sustainable and safe materials.
• Design. Even though it is bedding, the color and style should still match the setting. Do not forget about this nuance when choosing the right kit. For example, against the background of variegated wallpapers with rich small prints, it is better to arrange a monochromatic euro linen in calm tones. If, on the background of the bed, there is a boring and minimalistic finish, then the linen may well be picked up and brighter - with prints and patterns.

• Trade point. Buy euro-size underwear sets in trusted stores with a good reputation. You shouldn't buy such things in markets or street shops.
• Manufacturer. Despite the fact that branded products are usually quite expensive, experts recommend contacting them. When choosing a high-quality set of Euro underwear, you should not trust unnecessarily low prices and incomprehensible brands. These products do not last long. Refer to branded products. Don't skimp on buying a reliable kit.
