How to put a duvet in a duvet cover (or duvet cover bag)? - Ultimate Guide
With the arrival of the first cold days, many find themselves facing the challenge of inserting the duvet into the duvet cover, a real struggle, especially when it comes to a double duvet. This process, which becomes a routine with the regular changing of sheets, can turn into a daunting task. Then, at Christmas, who doesn’t want a festive duvet cover to create a cozy and joyful atmosphere?
The simple method to put the duvet in the duvet cover?
To avoid difficulties and simplify this task, here’s a tried and tested method that will make everything easier and quicker. With this guide, you’ll be able to make a perfect bed with tightly stretched sheets and the duvet correctly inserted into the duvet cover on the first try.
Steps to insert the duvet into the duvet cover
To properly dress a duvet, just a few simple steps are needed. The first time, you might need to read through the steps as you go, but soon it will become natural, almost like putting a pillowcase on a pillow.
Moreover, this method is considered the easiest, as it surpasses the previously developed methods: the grandmother’s method, the mother’s method, and the mother-in-law’s method, not to mention the husband/partner’s method, which is considered by many experts as the worst example of execution.
The stages
- Preparation: Spread the duvet out on the bed, covering the entire surface. Always perform this step on a double bed, even when dressing the children’s single duvet covers. This way, you’ll have more space and it will be more comfortable.
- Turn the duvet cover inside out: Turn the duvet cover inside out (from the inside out) to expose the seams. Place it over the duvet, aligning the corners of both items perfectly. Make sure the duvet cover opening is facing the bottom side of the bed. You should be able to see the seams.
- Secure the corners: If your duvet and duvet cover have loops and ties, tie them together to prevent shifting. DaunenStep duvets and Oasi Deluxe duvet covers, for example, are equipped with these useful accessories.
- Roll the duvet: Starting from the top of the bed, where the pillows are, roll up the duvet and duvet cover together, creating a large roll. This method, known as the “roll method,” is the simplest and most effective. CAUTION: The duvet cover opening must be positioned on the lower side of the bed.
- Final insertion: Fold the ends of the roll inside the duvet cover opening. Then, unroll the duvet cover from the bottom up, arranging the duvet inside evenly.
