What is the name for bed linen with two duvet covers?

Recently, the fashion for bedding, equipped with two duvet covers, has become increasingly popular. The latter are smaller in size and are intended for those couples who prefer not to share one blanket between two. Some psychologists even believe that sleep in this case is better, and the relationship between partners is stronger.

Kit name

Usually the imagination of designers and marketers is inexhaustible. But in the case of such bedding sets, manufacturers are not particularly sophisticated. In catalogs you can find such sets under the names “Duet” or “Family”.

Basic parameters of bed linen

In general, such kits are similar to European standard kits. The difference is in the number of duvet covers. The rest of the bedding set is the same.

The sheet can have two sizes:

1. Standard 220x240 cm.
2. Enlarged 240x260 cm.

Sets are often equipped with four pillowcases. Two of them are rectangular, 50x70 cm, and the second pair is square, measuring 70x70 cm.. If such a “Duet” includes only two pillowcases, then they are usually rectangular. This option is suitable for standard Russian or European pillow sizes. The set includes one-and-a-half duvet covers with a width of 150 cm. The length may vary slightly, but most often it is 215 or 220 cm.

A little about fabrics

Comfort during sleep will directly depend on the quality and composition of the fabric. Modern light industry produces underwear from a wide variety of materials. Most often you can find kits made from the following materials on sale:

• cotton is an environmentally friendly fabric that does not cause allergies or other unwanted reactions;
• calico is a cotton fabric that differs in its manufacturing method, is wear-resistant and durable; the vast majority of bedding sets are made from it;
• cambric is a very thin natural material that can rather be classified as a luxury item; such linen is very short-lived;
• satin - this silk fabric is distinguished by its high price, excellent appearance and pleasant smoothness to the touch;
• satin is a material that is visually similar to silk, but costs less; bed linen is made from it, which is wear-resistant;
• jacquard - linen made from this fabric is expensive, but has an original appearance; the material itself is natural and durable, but demanding in terms of washing and ironing conditions.
