How to Put On a Duvet Cover: A Step-by-Step Guide

Following the process: Lay out the Duvet cover, Prepare the Duvet, Inserting the Duvet, Corner Ties and Adjustments, Fluff and Smooth. Putting on a duvet cover doesn't have to be a frustrating experience.

Understanding the Basics

A duvet cover is a removable, washable cover that slips over a duvet or comforter, protecting it from dirt and stains. Duvets are typically filled with down or synthetic materials and provide insulation for warmth. Choosing the right-sized duvet cover is essential. Most standard sizes include twin (39" x 75"), full/queen (54" x 75"), and king/California king (78" x 86" to 102" x 86").

Step 1: Lay Out the Duvet Cover

Laying the Foundation

• Lay the duvet cover flat on a clean, spacious surface, such as a bed or the floor.
• Make sure the opening (where the duvet goes) is facing you.

Step 2: Prepare the Duvet

Ready, Set, Duvet

• Hold the duvet by its corners and give it a gentle shake to fluff it up.
• Stand near the opening of the duvet cover with the duvet in front of you.

Step 3: Inserting the Duvet

Slide and Align

• Hold the top two corners of the duvet and align them with the corresponding corners of the duvet cover's opening.
• Slowly slide the duvet into the cover, working from the top corners down.

Step 4: Corner Ties and Adjustments

Securing and Perfecting

• As you slide the duvet in, take advantage of any corner ties or elasticized edges to secure the duvet in place.
• If your duvet cover has no ties, you can tuck the excess fabric around the duvet or use safety pins to hold it in place temporarily.

Step 5: Fluff and Smooth

The Finishing Touches

• Once the duvet is fully inside the cover, give it a good shake to fluff up the filling and distribute it evenly.
• Smooth out any wrinkles or creases in the cover for a polished look.

Tips and Tricks

• Use a Fitting Sheet: Some people find it easier to put a fitted sheet over the mattress first, then slide the duvet and cover onto the sheet. This can provide extra grip and stability.
• Patience is Key: Don't rush the process. Taking your time to align and secure the duvet will result in a better-looking and more comfortable bed.
• Practice Makes Perfect: Like any skill, putting on a duvet cover gets easier with practice. Don't be discouraged if you struggle at first.

OTHER FAQS

Q4: Can I wash the duvet cover separately from the duvet?
A: Yes, it's generally recommended to wash the duvet cover separately from the duvet or comforter. The cover can be washed more frequently to maintain cleanliness, while the duvet itself may require less frequent washing depending on use and care instructions.

Q5: What if my duvet cover doesn't have ties or loops to secure the duvet?
A: If your duvet cover doesn't have ties or loops, you can still keep the duvet in place by tucking the edges of the cover under the mattress or by using safety pins or clips to attach the cover to the duvet at strategic points. Alternatively, you can consider purchasing a new duvet cover that includes ties or loops for added convenience.
