Why do IKEA and Europe sell bed linen without sheets?

Beautiful and high-quality bed linen is the key to healthy sleep and good rest. A large selection of textiles is presented in the store IKEA. However, many buyers are surprised by the absence of a sheet in a bedding set. It turns out that selling bed linen in sets is not a rule for everyone.

Why do IKEA and Europe sell bed linen without sheets?

Russians are accustomed to kits

Russian customers are accustomed to ready-made complete sets, which necessarily include a sheet. Manufacturers taught them to do this. Depending on individual requests, the trade offers us a variety of sets. They are designed for a single or double bed, taking into account different sizes of pillows. You can find a set for a child and his small bed or family sets with two duvet covers. But all of them already have a sheet!

European tradition: taking care of customers?

Many consumers have already appreciated IKEA not only for its wide variety of beautiful things, but also for their practicality. The company is considered one of the most responsible manufacturers in the world.

Important! Since 2016, all materials used for sewing linen are produced in the most environmentally friendly way. Bleaching of fabrics occurs without the use of bleach.

The price range for textile products at IKEA is large. It depends on the density of the fabric, which is measured by the number of threads per inch. Sets of different prices allow you to purchase textiles taking into account the financial capabilities of the buyer.

What is included in the bedding set

Having indicated the advantages of textile sets, it is necessary to note an important detail that surprises our customers.

Important! The bedding set at IKEA is designed by analogy with European traditions. They relate to the items included in the set. It consists of a pillowcase and duvet cover.

IKEA set

You are asked to choose the sheet yourself. The standard sizes of linen at IKEA are as follows:

  • single (150 × 200 cm) includes duvet cover and one pillowcase;
  • double (200 × 200 cm) includes duvet cover and two pillowcases;
  • pillowcase standard50 × 70 cm.

All bedding in the store is presented in two size ranges. The only exceptions are summer sets and a limited New Year's edition.

It is worth noting that all components of the products are thought out to the smallest detail: have convenient fasteners, which is absolutely invisible from the front side.

Why is IKEA equipment convenient?

The experience of European residents and our customers using IKEA kits convinces: This approach is really convenient!

Why is the kit convenient?

At first, not having a sheet may seem impractical. But in the end, women understand that it is much more profitable. After all, it is the sheet wears out much faster. You can buy a replacement here.

This kit is convenient choose bed linen for different sizes of beds and sofas. The pillowcase and duvet cover do not know what type of mattress they will have to “neighbor” with.

Where to buy a sheet

As a rule, they sold here and come in a wide range of colors and sizes to match standard store mattresses. It is important for customers to be able to choose a plain sheet (white or another shade) or with the same print as the selected set.

Attention! The store shows examples of beautiful combinations of sheets and bed linen.

Buyers also like the fact that they can find a regular sheet or a fitted sheet. There are many options, even for the most picky buyer. The sheet, as a rule, is made from denser and more expensive fabric and the price is close to the cost of the set.

Important! The size of the sheets corresponds to the parameters of standard store mattresses.

You can also buy a sheet from IKEA to replace a worn out old one from a Russian set. In this way, the Swedes save entire sets and give them a second life.

Important! In addition to sheets, pillowcases can also be purchased separately.

After all, according to European tradition, there should be several pillows on the bed: one of them should be combined with a duvet cover, and the other with a sheet.

Bed linen is the subject of special attention of housewives. The choice of set depends on the person’s taste and the characteristics of the sleeping place.Properly selected textiles last a long time and do not lose their appearance after many washes.

Reviews and comments
S Serina:

This is nonsense, the author can’t even come up with a normal article!

T Tatiana:

Standard blanket 2 sp. In Russia, it’s 175 cm wide. That’s why I don’t buy anything at IKEA

N NotPoorYorick:

Logical.
For example, I sleep on a double bed under a one-and-a-half-length blanket.
Why do I need a one-and-a-half-length sheet included?

E Elena:

Europeans change their bed linen once a month at most! Enough already to inculcate European, American... Star in Europe and sleep on bed linen of unknown freshness or after someone (also customary in Europe)... Behind... stupid articles

ABOUT Olga:

Exactly. There was no answer to the question.

N Hope:

The other day I was sorting through my aunt’s Soviet supplies. So, in Soviet bedding sets there are no sheets.

ABOUT Oleg:

Typical Ikean cravings.

N Natela:

Most likely, they were removed to replace worn-out ones. After all, sheets wear out faster. That's why pillowcases and duvet covers remain from the sets. All Soviet-era bedding sets necessarily included sheets.

Y yta:

Author, you shouldn’t write without knowing the spelling.

A Anonymous:

I don't buy Ikea crap. our things are of high quality. Those who humiliate their country because they hate themselves bow down to foreign crafts, and they consider their homeland to blame for this, thinking that where they are not, the grass is greener.

N NotPoorYorick:

I myself am from the Soviet “past”.
Domestic bedding sets included sheets.
The imported ones may not have been.

E Catherine:

The sheets don't wear out at all. AND IF they wear out, then I’ll buy a sheet separately. We make beautiful underwear from beautiful fabrics. For every taste and budget. Especially in the provinces, you can choose well and buy inexpensively!

A Anastasia:

Ivanovo calico, given to my father by relatives, caused an allergy throughout my body. Even suprostin didn't help. Then two sets of domestic production shed wildly. And the sets from IKEA are already 7 years old and have not faded at all. Satin made of 100 percent cotton is as thin as silk, and not the tarpaulin of the Saili company, also produced by us.

WITH Svetlana:

“In this way, the Swedes save entire sets and give them a second life.”

Are you saying that if the sheet was included, people would throw away their pillowcases and duvet cover after they were worn out? :-)))))

E Elena:

Not true. I live in Germany.Sets without sheets, yes. But the sheets only have an elastic band and are always plain. It's convenient and practical.

N Natalia:

...absolutely INVISIBLE – is written together in this case. Once you write an advertising article, check for errors

AND Irina:

The linen is only from Ikea. We sleep on a double bed, each under our own blanket. I really like that I can choose different options for sheets for a set, especially with elastic, plus additionally plain pillowcases.
And, by the way, the underwear there is made in Russia, with rare exceptions.

IN Victoria:

Well, I don’t know, the linen itself is only from Ikea, it’s convenient that you can buy sheets separately according to the size of the bed with elastic bands and pillowcases if they are spoiled or dirty and cannot be washed, and you can assemble a set yourself according to your taste and precisely in size!
I remember earlier we bought regular sets, even though they stated one size, in fact the sheet was either shorter or wider, or the blanket didn’t fit, or vice versa, there was still a void left at the duvet cover, and the colors weren’t very good, it’s difficult to choose something really stylish and not colorful (and normal kits cost 2-3 times more expensive than IKEA ones)
so I'm for Ikea, excellent value for money, quality and practicality

A Anton:

Well, something in this article is certainly true, but the author apparently doesn’t really know what it’s like in Ikea. The sheets there in 99% of cases are plain and do not match the pictures of the sets, and all this is sold separately not because the sheets wear out, but because of the variety of sizes of mattresses, while there are only two sizes of blankets.Also, the sheet is not at all equal in cost to the rest of the set, but much cheaper.
I personally have all my linen from Ikea, since I don’t know what these idiotic names are: single, one-and-a-half, double and all that, I know the size in millimeters and that’s the only way I think it’s correct, and Ikea helps me with this.

D Janet:

They are assholes, that's why there are no sheets included. What should you do with the sheet so that it wears out before the duvet cover? Just their stupid knitted sheets are covered with pills after the 2nd wash. Even skin irritation! Russian and Turkish kits are the best! The sheet without rubber included is very convenient; it will fit any bed size; it is easy to wash and iron. I don’t know how it is in the rest of Europe, but in Germany a set of linen is a duvet cover 135×200 or 150×200, yes, so small, although the Germans are a large nation, and there is ONE pillowcase!!! 80x80. This size is very large and inconvenient. In Russia, a 1.5 sleeping set contains 2 pillowcases and this is normal. After all, pillowcases are changed more often or many people put two pillows in the bed. You have to buy a sheet separately; naturally, you won’t get the same color as the bed linen. Yes, and all monochromatic. the spots are immediately visible. 98% of the market is knitted sheets, they are terrible. 2 washes in the trash. A sheet made of chintz or even satin is a luxury. The situation with children's bedding is even worse. So, living in Germany, we bring linen from Russia
