If you want a good night's sleep and a stylish bedroom, you need to choose bedding that works with your bed. Perhaps you've never paid attention to the standards that govern the choice of a cutting board or a broom handle. Don't be fooled into buying the wrong size mattress by ignoring our helpful advice!
Bedding set for 2 people
For some time now, the standard dimensions for a double bed have been 140 by 190 centimeters. Both the male and female populations of France have increased significantly over the past twenty years.
Moreover, nowadays people want even more space and comfort when sleeping in a double bed, which is why manufacturers offer larger models such as queen size (160 x 200 cm), king size (180 x 200 cm) and large square mattress (200 x 200 cm).
You can use the measurements provided here to find the perfect bedding set for two people. This is because the duvet cover is not chosen based on the mattress size in the same way that the fitted sheet is.
The duvet cover should extend over the sides of the bed so that two people can stay warm all night; therefore, it must be longer than the mattress. The same applies to flat curtains, which you will want to tuck in and then arrange under the valance for both aesthetic and practical reasons .
The option of a scarf
As we mentioned earlier, the duvet cover must match the exact dimensions of your mattress. So, if your bedroom has a 140 x 190 inch bed , you must choose a duvet cover of the same size.
This means that if the mattress measures 140 inches by 200 inches, the duvet cover will be the same size. For a 160 x 200 centimeter mattress, choose a fitted sheet measuring 160 x 200 centimeters .
Select a draped cover of the appropriate size for a 180 x 200 cm mattress. Choose a 200 x 200 cm draped cover for a 200 x 200 cm bed. You probably already know that pillowcases come in a variety of widths (the part that goes over the corners). Find a draped cover with deep pockets (they can be up to 50 cm) if your mattress is very thick or if you have a mattress topper.

Choosing a knife handle
Standard-sized duvets are available in three different dimensions: 200x200 cm, 240x220 cm, and 260x240 cm. Your decision will be influenced not only by the size of your bed (you want enough room for an overhang on both sides) but also by the relative circumference of you and your partner (if you move around a lot during the night, choose a larger duvet).
Your chopper's cover will include the precise measurements of your chopper. Choose a 200x200cm duvet cover for a typical 140x190cm bed, or a 240x220cm one if one of the partners is very active or tall. Duvet cover sizes available for a 160" x 200" bed are 240" x 200" and 260" x 240". A 260 x 240 inch duvet cover is recommended for a 180 x 200 inch bed.
Selection criteria for flat tears
Your bed should be square, with a border around the duvet and the duvet cover correctly positioned over your pelvic area . This is why you need a sheet that is significantly larger than your mattress.
A 240x300 inch flat sheet will be needed for a double bed measuring 140x190 inches. Opt for a 240x300 (or 270x300) sheet for a 160x200 (or 140x190) bed. Finally, if you are looking for a 270x300 flat sheet for a 180x200 centimeter bed, look here.
