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. Without these extra sheets you will have more room to change the bed linen and are less likely to get tangled up. You need to make sure you give yourself as much room as possible, especially if you have a king size duvet cover to change.

Step 2
You need to turn the new duvet cover inside out to begin with. When you try to shove the blanket into a cover you will understand why we use this method instead of any other. 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
Next you need to find the two corners in the duvet cover which go 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
Once you have hold of the corners it is time to find the corresponding corners of the blanket you want to cover. 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
Now comes the fun 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. You might need to let the blanket hang off the bed if you are struggling to get high enough.

Step 6
Now the duvet should be totally covering the blanket and you will be able to fasten it at the bottom. 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.
