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 fear not, a solution is at hand. This article is a step by step guide to replacing your duvet cover, making the job quick and easy.

Step 1
First of all, you need to take the old duvet cover off your bed, ready to be washed. You will then be free from excess material which will slow down the bed changing process. The bigger your bed, the more room you need in which to manoeuvre.

Step 2
Make sure that you turn your new duvet cover inside out as your next step. When you start trying to fit the blanket inside the duvet cover it will become clear why we do this. Lay the blanket itself onto the bed as you would sleep under it, , normally with the two widest sides at the sides of the bed.

Step 3
Next you need to find the two corners in the duvet cover which go 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. 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 laid it out as described in step 2 then you should be stood at the bottom of your bed. Make sure you firmly grip both the corners of the duvet cover and the blanket.

Step 5
Now it’s time for the best bit. 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
You should now be able to close the fastening at the bottom of the duvet cover. Once everything has been fastened then give the duvet an extra shake and you will have a smooth blanket under which to have a peaceful night’s sleep.
