The Euro size of the bed is one of the most comfortable for two people. The size of the bedding is determined by the size of the duvet cover, and as the size of the duvet cover increases, the size of the sheet invariably increases to maintain balance.
Bed linen as such was used in Europe exclusively in wealthy and noble houses, as it was made by hand and often decorated with embroidery. The cost of such bedding was high, so the poor strata of society could not afford such a luxury.
Euro bed sizes were first developed and standardized in Europe in the 19th century, during the next industrial revolution. The unification of the size of sleep sets has helped to increase the scale of production, making bedding available to all segments of the population.

Tips for choosing Euro bed sizes
The very first thing you should pay attention to is the physiological characteristics of the body and the style of sleep - calm or with a frequent change of position during rest. It depends on what size to choose a regular double euro, an increased king size or a royal one to ensure the best comfort for you and your partner.
Next, you need to take into account the size of the berth. An ordinary sheet should be 50-60 cm larger than the mattress, that is, on each side there should be a 25-30 cm overhang of the sheet. Such a stock will provide a beautiful appearance of the bed, and will also allow you to tuck the sheet at the head of the bed for better stability.
Further, these are the dimensions of the blanket, if the blanket has not yet been purchased, then its purchase can be successfully combined with the purchase of bed linen from one manufacturer. Typically this ensures complete compatibility between products. If the blanket is already in stock, then we select the bedding according to the size of the blanket and take into account the condition that it is - the blanket must be 5-10 cm less than the size of the bed...
Larger pillowcases can be easily altered to fit the euro, but those with smaller dimensions will definitely not fit, so you need to check the dimensions before buying.
Also, an important factor in the selection of dimensions is the ability of the fabric to shrink. There are fabrics that are prone to strong deformation and reduction in size during washing, and there are materials that are resistant.
