The choice of accessories for sleeping deserves close attention, because the productivity of a night's rest depends on their characteristics. And if bed linen can be changed at least monthly, the choice of bed, mattress, pillows and plaid should be approached responsibly. How to buy a 2-sleeping blanket? Size, filler - what else should you look for when choosing?
Why are centimeters so important?
Blankets and pillows need special covers - duvet covers and pillowcases, respectively. For this reason, before purchasing sleep accessories, you should decide on the desired size. The times of total deficit are in the past, and today in any specialized store you will find a large assortment of products with different standards. Do not forget that bedding is also different. In order to avoid the problem of discrepancy between the purchased kit and the existing blanket, it is useful to write down the dimensions somewhere or try to remember them. A 2-bedroom blanket, the size of which corresponds to a double bed, is appropriate to purchase just for such a bed. Since pillows are usually also available in sets - do not be too lazy to keep measurements in memory for them.
2-bedroom blanket: which country size to choose?
Nowadays, the most common blankets are 200x220 centimeters. This is the so-called European standard, under which it is easy to purchase duvet covers as part of sleep kits. An alternative European size is a little less common : 195x215 cm. Domestic manufacturers and foreign manufacturers sew blankets under it. If you decide to buy a 2-bedroom blanket, you can choose the size of Soviet-English: 172x205 cm. These parameters have the same name, since they were common for the UK and its colonies, as well as for the states that make up the USSR. If all the proposed options seem too small for you, it makes sense to think about acquiring the maximum euro size: 220x240 cm. This is a great solution for people wearing large clothing sizes. If a blanket is required for spouses, you can consider purchasing two separate ones. On sale quite often there are family sets, which include two duvet covers.
Choose a filler
Today on sale you can find bedding with various options for filling. The assortment includes both materials of natural origin and their synthetic analogues. These are classic ones - feather and wool, and innovative ones - bamboo, silk, linen fiber. Should I buy a holofiber blanket? This is a good option if you are constrained in material resources. Other synthetic materials common today - synthetic winterizer, acrylic, polyester. The question "which blanket to choose - artificial or natural" is quite controversial. The thing is that materials of natural origin are distinguished by good hygienic indicators, but at the same time they have a limited service life and need special care. Synthetic fibers are less demanding, but not all of them pass air and remove sweat from the body during sleep.
How much does a double blanket cost?
Have you decided to buy a blanket? The price of this product depends on its exact size, filler and manufacturer. The cost of bedding starts from 2 thousand rubles for a thin
woolen blanket or a dense, “winter”, synthetic one. As for the maximum cost - you should focus on 15-20 thousand rubles. For this price you can buy a blanket made of high-quality fluff or other natural filler of the largest size. Such products require special handling and care. Be sure to read the operating instructions after purchase and carefully follow them. The holofiber blanket costs a lot less - up to 5 thousand rubles, and this is really a good option for the economy segment.
