It can seem like one of the simplest things to do around the house, but when it comes to changing your duvet cover, many people get tied up in all the material and flustered that the corners do not meet. But it doesn’t have to be like this. This article is a step by step guide to replacing your duvet cover, making the job quick and easy.

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 more room you have the better, especially if you have a king sixe duvet cover or even a super king.

Step 2
Make sure that you turn your new duvet cover inside out as your next step. This will all become clear when you start to move it over the duvet itself. You should also lay out the blanket so that it is placed on your bed in the right position, with the narrow ends at the top and bottom.

Step 3
Find the two corners of the duvet cover which correspond with the two end corners of the blanket. For most covers this will be the two corners at the opposite end of the opening. bunch the material over your arms to stop it from falling over your head as you find the corners.

Step 4
Next it is time to match those duvet corners to the blanket. If you followed the instructions in step 2 then you should be standing at the bottom of the bed. Depending on how long your arms are you might need to stretch to be able to reach both corners at once, but just make sure they are tightly held together.

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. If you are a lot shorter than the duvet then hang it off the bed and you will have more room to work with.

Step 6
You should now be able to close the fastening at the bottom of the duvet cover. Shake the duvet once again when it has been fastened and you will have a nice bed to sleep in, although you won’t be worn out when it is this easy to make your bed.
