How to Put on a Duvet Cover
Preparing Your Duvet and Cover
Before you begin putting on a duvet cover, it’s important to make sure that both the duvet and the cover are ready. Here are some steps you can follow to prepare:
Wash and dry both the duvet and the cover – this will ensure that they are clean and free of any dust or debris.
Lay the duvet flat on your bed and smooth out any wrinkles or bumps. This will make it easier to insert the duvet into the cover later on.
Locate the opening at the bottom of the duvet cover. Some duvet covers have ties or buttons, while others have a zipper. Make sure that the opening is unobstructed and ready to receive the duvet.
By taking the time to properly prepare your duvet and cover, you’ll make the process of putting on the duvet cover much smoother and more efficient.
Inserting the Duvet into the Cover
Once you’ve prepared your duvet and cover, it’s time to start inserting the duvet into the cover. Here’s how to do it:
Turn the duvet cover inside out and lay it flat on your bed. The opening should be at the foot of the bed.
Take the duvet and fold it in half lengthwise. Hold it by the two corners of the folded edge.
With the duvet cover still inside out, insert the folded duvet into the cover. Make sure that the corners of the duvet match up with the corners of the cover.
Reach into the duvet cover and grab the corners of the duvet. Pull them through the opening until the duvet cover is right side out.
Shake the duvet and cover to make sure that they are properly aligned and the duvet is spread evenly throughout the cover.
By following these steps, you’ll be able to insert the duvet into the cover with ease and avoid any frustration or confusion.
Shaking and Fluffing the Duvet
Once you’ve inserted the duvet into the cover, it’s important to shake and fluff it to ensure that it’s evenly distributed and looks neat and tidy. Here’s how to do it:
Hold onto the corners of the duvet cover and give it a good shake. This will help the duvet settle into place and ensure that it’s not bunched up or lumpy.
Fluff up the duvet by pulling on the edges and corners of the cover. This will help to create an even distribution of the filling and prevent any clumping.
Once you’ve fluffed the duvet, smooth out any wrinkles or bumps by running your hands over the cover. Make sure that the duvet is lying flat and doesn’t have any lumps or bumps.
By shaking and fluffing the duvet, you’ll be able to create a comfortable and inviting bed that looks great and feels even better to sleep in.
Closing the Duvet Cover
After you’ve shaken and fluffed the duvet, it’s time to close the duvet cover. Here are some steps to follow:
Make sure that the duvet is lying flat inside the cover, with the corners aligned.
If your duvet cover has ties or buttons, fasten them now to keep the duvet from shifting inside the cover.
If your duvet cover has a zipper, zip it up slowly, making sure that the duvet is not bunched up or caught in the zipper.
Smooth out any wrinkles or bumps in the cover by running your hands over it.
By closing the duvet cover properly, you’ll ensure that the duvet stays securely in place and doesn’t shift around during the night, giving you a comfortable and uninterrupted sleep.
Final Touches and Maintenance Tips
Now that you’ve successfully put on your duvet cover, it’s time to add some final touches and learn how to maintain your duvet and cover. Here are some tips:
Add decorative pillows or a throw blanket to complete the look of your bed.
To keep your duvet clean and fresh, wash it every 6-12 months or as needed. Follow the care instructions on the label of your duvet and cover.
If your duvet cover wrinkles easily, consider using a handheld steamer to remove any wrinkles or creases.
To keep your duvet from shifting inside the cover, shake and fluff it up regularly.
By following these tips, you’ll be able to keep your duvet and cover looking and feeling great for years to come, and enjoy a comfortable and restful sleep every night.
