.. now then put your arms inside and grab the top two corners furthest from you,
..with the duvet corners still in your hands grab the top two duvet corners and hold them,
..now let the cover fall over the duvet .
You make it sound so easy Meg, I've been struggling with my duvet for years!

I think new duvets should come with instructions on their packets!

*thinks* ..... I'm going to change the duvet cover tomorrow

Re: Why is it ?

I always use the "inside out" method too, what intrigues me is that stuff you put in the washing machine with the duvet ends up inside it, then when you tumble dry it it all comes out again!Here's another way! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/good...-your-bed.html

I have had to down-size to a single bed as my bedroom is smaller than my old one, I found a single duvet too small so I use a double one, this kept sliding off so I attached two tapes on corners on one side and two cuphooks on the bed base (wall side), tie it on & it doesn't slide off.

Re: Why is it ?

I always help the wife change the duvet cover, if I didn't, I know I would develop a "Quilt Complex".

I have to admit I find it irritating but it has to be done. Only ever iron them when on the duvet these days as per a tip from someone.

Re: Why is it ?

Double duvets are really a two man job but since I am always on my own when I do them I use the inside out method but still struggle. Single duvets are easy no problem.
