How do you use a duvet cover?

A duvet cover is used as an envelope to hold a duvet. To insert the duvet into the duvet cover, first spread the duvet cover flat over the bed. Open the bottom of the duvet cover. Find the top of the duvet and grab hold of the two top corners. The tricky part is sliding the duvet into the duvet cover. As best you can, while continuing to hold tight to the duvet corners, work the duvet up to the top of the duvet cover. Place one corner of the duvet into the corresponding corner of the duvet cover. Hold tightly onto that corner from the outside. Next, do the same at the other top corner. Hold tight to both corners and pull them up to the top of the bed. Make sure the middle top side of the duvet also lines up with the middle top side of the duvet cover. Now, as best you can, slide the duvet cover down over top of the duvet. Both the duvet cover and duvet will likely be bunched up, but keep gently working it down. It is a bit tricky. The goal is to get the bottom two corners of the duvet aligned into the bottom corners of the duvet cover. When the duvet and cover are mostly aligned, give the covered duvet a good shake to even out the contents. When you are happy with the duvet distribution, do up the bottom of the duvet cover. Now, snuggle up.

How do you get a duvet cover on a duvet?

The easiest way to get a duvet inside the cover is the following... Turn the duvet cover inside out....then put your arms inside and pinch the bottom corners with your fingers...then pick up the corners of the duvet or comforter and pinch all the corners together with your fingers.... pull the corners inside the duvet cover by pulling the duvet at the same time you are flipping the duvet cover over your arms and over the duvet!! You will have to tuck in the top corners of the duvet inside the duvet cover at the top...then button it up and you are done!
