Off you go to practice.......
I prefer :

1. turn the duvet cover inside out (or wash & iron it inside out)
2. place both hands inside the two closed end corners (like gloves)
3. Grab two corners of the duvet and shake the duvet cover outside-in over the duvet until fully covered.

I always turn the duvet inside out before putting it on.

Annie, That's the way l do it too but sometimes, l end up trapped inside the cover, grappling to get out of it!

This is another really simple way to put the cover on. It's like a magic trick!!

It does look like a magic trick - great tip - and no lumps or bumps.

We have duvets and I always put a sheet in-between the duvet. If I get too hot I can just sleep under the sheet and I don't have to change the duvet everytime I change the bed.

Re: Duvets or Sheets and Blankets?

I have a duvet and a sheet. For some reason if I don't put a top sheet on as well, the duvet tickles me all night. Weird I know
