Changing A Duvet Cover-Six Stress-Free Steps

Changing your duvet cover can be a nightmare for some people who just cannot get to grips with all the material and corners they are faced with. But it doesn’t have to be like this. This article is a step by step guide to replacing your duvet cover, making the job quick and easy.

Step 1
First things first, strip your bed of the duvet cover which needs washing. Without these extra sheets you will have more room to change the bed linen and are less likely to get tangled up. The more room you have the better, especially if you have a king sixe duvet cover or even a super king.

Step 2
The second thing to do is to turn your fresh duvet cover inside out. This will all become clear when you start to move it over the duvet itself. 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
Next you need to find the two corners in the duvet cover which go with the two end corners of the blanket. On a traditional duvet cover this will be the two corners which are not at the opening of the cover. 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
Next it is time to match those duvet corners to the blanket. If you followed the instructions in step 2 then you should be standing at the bottom of the bed. Make sure you firmly grip both the corners of the duvet cover and the blanket.

Step 5
Then it’s the fun part. Because I am only 5’5” it can be a struggle to get the duvet cover to surround the entire length of the 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
Now the duvet should be totally covering the blanket and you will be able to fasten it at the bottom. 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.
