In the past, it was customary to place less emphasis on the appearance of pillow and blanket covers than on their functionality. The bed linen for children and adults had to be as boil-proof as possible, which is why pure linen in white was used with particular popularity. The dormitory was already hidden with a bedspread when not in use. Nowadays, it is a pleasure to showcase your bed linen in plain and colourful colours and appreciate the fact that the beds can be better ventilated without a bedspread.
The matching sheets for oversized mattresses
Fortunately, the days when tall people had to roll together in a bed 1.90 metres long to sleep are over. Today, oversized mattresses with a length of up to 2.20 metres are available as standard equipment from many specialist dealers and as one-off items up to a length of 2.50 metres. There are also numerous variations in the widths for oversized beds. Of course, you should also get the suitable blankets in oversize so that you don't have to worry about cold feet in winter or wear thick woollen socks at night. Oversized bed sheets are available in both sheets and beaver bed linen in lengths of up to 2.70 metres. These sizes are also available for fitted sheets. If you also use the elastic fabrics here, you have the chance to use them together with the integrated elastic bands even if the size of the fitted sheets differs slightly from that of the oversized mattresses. This applies to both downward and upward deviations.
The modern requirements for children's bed linen
If you want to buy children's bed linen for your offspring, you will find that you can also get PVC sheets for the youngest inhabitants of the earth. Incidentally, they are also available in sizes for adults, such as those required for disabled and nursing care. They are used to protect the mattresses and should always be covered with a sheet of normal children's bed linen or a sheet of household linen so that they do not come into direct contact with the sleeper's skin. The kids rarely like plain bed linen. They want to have designs with the characters of their favourite series, animals or sports teams and artists. In this case, it is important to ensure that they are made of hard-wearing materials and that they can be washed at higher temperatures. It is a real relief for the housewife if the children's bed linen and oversized sheets are iron-free.
