To put on a duvet cover efficiently, you can follow these widely recommended steps using the "inside-out" or "roll" method:
Inside-Out Method (Fastest)
- Turn the duvet cover inside out and put your arms inside it, holding the two corners farthest from the opening.
- Lay the duvet flat on the bed.
- Reach down and grab the two closest corners of the duvet with your hands inside the duvet cover.
- Lift your arms and shake the duvet cover down over the duvet, flipping it right side out as you go.
- Adjust the corners and edges so the duvet fits snugly inside the cover.
- Close the duvet cover with buttons, snaps, or a zipper and fluff the duvet to even it out
Roll Method (Easiest, Less Strenuous)
- Turn the duvet cover inside out and lay it flat on the bed with the opening at the foot.
- Lay the duvet insert on top, aligning all corners.
- Starting at the closed end, roll the duvet and cover together tightly like a Swiss roll.
- Once rolled, pull the opening of the duvet cover over the roll and fasten it.
- Unroll the bundle, and the duvet will be inside the cover. Shake and adjust as needed
Additional Tips
- Use ties or snaps inside the duvet cover corners to secure the duvet and prevent shifting.
- Smooth out wrinkles before starting for easier alignment.
- Give the duvet a good shake and fluff after putting on the cover to distribute filling evenly.
- If you struggle, some people find it helpful to stand on the bed while shaking the duvet into place or use clothespins to clip corners temporarily
Both methods are effective; the inside-out method is quicker but requires some strength, while the roll method is gentler and easier for beginners. Choose the one that suits you best
