How Do You Put A Duvet Cover On A Comforter?

Putting a duvet cover on a comforter can be a daunting task, but it doesn’t have to be. As someone who has struggled with this in the past, I have some tips and tricks to make the process easier.

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Turn the duvet cover inside out

Start by turning the duvet cover inside out and placing it on top of your bed or a flat surface. Be sure to smooth out any wrinkles.

Step 2: Lay the comforter on top of the duvet cover

Next, lay your comforter on top of the duvet cover, ensuring that the corners match up with the corners of the duvet cover.

Step 3: Tie the corners of the duvet cover to the comforter

Now, tie the corners of the duvet cover to the corners of the comforter. This will prevent the comforter from shifting around inside the duvet cover.

Step 4: Roll the comforter and duvet cover together

Starting at the foot of the bed, begin rolling the comforter and duvet cover together like a burrito. Be sure to roll tightly and smooth out any wrinkles as you go.

Step 5: Flip the duvet cover over the comforter

Once you’ve rolled the comforter and duvet cover together, flip the duvet cover over the comforter so that the opening is at the foot of the bed.

Step 6: Shake it out

Finally, give the comforter and duvet cover a good shake to ensure that everything is in place and smooth out any remaining wrinkles.
