Changing Your Duvet Cover-Six Easy Steps
It can seem like one of the simplest things to do around the house, but when it comes to changing your duvet cover, many people get tied up in all the material and flustered that the corners do not meet. But it doesn’t have to be like this. Here you will find a blow by blow guide to changing your duvet cover quickly and without any hassle.
Step 1
First of all, you need to take the old duvet cover off your bed, ready to be washed. Without these extra sheets you will have more room to change the bed linen and are less likely to get tangled up. The bigger your bed, the more room you need in which to manoeuvre.
Step 2
You need to turn the new duvet cover inside out to begin with. When you start trying to fit the blanket inside the duvet cover it will become clear why we do this. You should also lay the blanket out on the bed as you would sleep under it, so the shorter ends are at the head and foot of the bed.
Step 3
Find the two corners of the duvet cover which correspond with the two end corners of the blanket. With most duvet covers this is the two corners furthest away from the cover opening. You may feel silly, but when you have both arms in these corners the duvet may fall over your head, if it does start again and this time bunch the duvet up as you move towards the corners.
Step 4
Once you have hold of the corners it is time to find the corresponding corners of the blanket you want to cover. You should find yourself stood at the foot of the bed if you followed step 2 closely. Make sure you firmly grip both the corners of the duvet cover and the blanket.
Step 5
Then it’s the fun part. I am quite short which means that I cannot get the cover to fall over the entire blanket. With both corners firmly in hand, stand on the bed and give yourself a shake, which will make the duvet cover slide down the blanket. You might need to let the blanket hang off the bed if you are struggling to get high enough.
Step 6
If you have shaken hard enough then the duvet should now totally cover the blanket and you will be able to fasten the buttons or poppers. Once everything has been fastened then give the duvet an extra shake and you will have a smooth blanket under which to have a peaceful night’s sleep.
