Changing your duvet cover can be a nightmare for some people who just cannot get to grips with all the material and corners they are faced with. Well not any more. For a step by step guide of changing your duvet cover, this is the article for you.

Step 1
You first need to empty your bed of all the covers and sheets that will be getting washed. This will leave your bed free from any unnecessary objects that will only hinder your progress at replacing the duvet cover. The bigger your bed, the more room you need in which to manoeuvre.

Step 2
The second thing to do is to turn your fresh duvet cover inside out. When you start trying to fit the blanket inside the duvet cover it will become clear why we do this. You should also lay the blanket out on the bed as you would sleep under it, so the shorter ends are at the head and foot of the bed.

Step 3
So, next you need to grab onto the two corners of the duvet cover which correspond with the two end corners of the blanket. On a traditional duvet cover this will be the two corners which are not at the opening of the cover. If the duvet cover manages to fall over your body so your head is at the end of it, move back out of the cover and bunch the material over your arms.

Step 4
Next it is time to match those duvet corners to the blanket. You should find yourself stood at the foot of the bed if you followed step 2 closely. Try to keep hold of the corners of both the duvet cover and the blanket so the cover will be in the right place.

Step 5
Then it’s the fun part. Because I am only 5’5” it can be a struggle to get the duvet cover to surround the entire length of the blanket. With both corners firmly in hand, stand on the bed and give yourself a shake, which will make the duvet cover slide down the blanket. This may require that the blanket hangs off the edge of the bed.

Step 6
If you have shaken hard enough then the duvet should now totally cover the blanket and you will be able to fasten the buttons or poppers. Once all of the buttons/poppers have been fastened, give the duvet a final shake to even out any bumps and you will have a perfectly made bed to sleep in.
