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 things first, strip your bed of the duvet cover which needs washing. This will leave your bed free from any unnecessary objects that will only hinder your progress at replacing the duvet cover. You need to make sure you give yourself as much room as possible, especially if you have a king size duvet cover to change.

Step 2
The second thing to do is to turn your fresh duvet cover inside out. When you try to shove the blanket into a cover you will understand why we use this method instead of any other. You should also lay out the blanket so that it is placed on your bed in the right position, with the narrow ends at the top and bottom.

Step 3
Next you need to find the two corners in the duvet cover which go with the two end corners of the blanket. For most covers this will be the two corners at the opposite end of the opening. bunch the material over your arms to stop it from falling over your head as you find 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. If you followed the instructions in step 2 then you should be standing at the bottom of the bed. Depending on how long your arms are you might need to stretch to be able to reach both corners at once, but just make sure they are tightly held together.

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. So I jump on the bed, corners still firmly in hand and begin to shake so that the duvet cover falls down the blanket right to the bottom. This may require that the blanket hangs off the edge of the bed.

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.
