My Experience With Putting On A Duvet Cover

As someone who loves to switch up my bedding frequently, I have had my fair share of struggles when it comes to putting on a duvet cover. A few years ago, I would always end up frustrated and sweaty after attempting to wrangle my duvet into its cover. However, after some trial and error, I have discovered the best way to put a duvet cover on with ease.

The Best Way to Put a Duvet Cover On: Step by Step Guide

Step 1: Turn the duvet cover inside out

This may seem counterintuitive, but turning the duvet cover inside out will make the process much easier. Lay the cover flat on your bed with the opening at the foot of the bed.

Step 2: Lay the duvet on top of the cover

Place your duvet on top of the cover, making sure the corners match up with the corners of the cover.

Step 3: Roll the duvet and cover together

Starting at the head of the bed, begin rolling the duvet and cover together tightly. Keep rolling until you reach the foot of the bed.

Step 4: Secure the duvet cover

Once you have rolled the duvet and cover together, reach inside the cover and grab the corners. Pull them through the opening and shake the duvet out until it is fully inside the cover. Button or zip the duvet cover closed.
