My Experience With Stuffing A Duvet Cover
As someone who loves to keep my bedroom looking neat and tidy, I’ve always been a fan of duvet covers. They’re easy to change out and keep your comforter protected from spills and stains. However, the process of stuffing a duvet cover has always been a bit of a challenge for me. I’ve tried a few different methods over the years, but I’ve finally found a system that works for me.
How Do You Stuff a Duvet Cover?
There are a few different methods you can use to stuff a duvet cover. Here’s the one that I’ve found to be the most effective:
Step 1: Turn the duvet cover inside out
Start by turning your duvet cover inside out and laying it flat on your bed. Make sure the opening of the duvet cover is at the foot of the bed.
Step 2: Lay your comforter on top of the duvet cover
Next, lay your comforter on top of the duvet cover. Make sure the corners of the comforter line up with the corners of the duvet cover.
Step 3: Roll up the duvet cover and comforter together
Starting at the head of the bed, begin rolling up the duvet cover and comforter together towards the foot of the bed. Make sure the roll is as tight as possible.
Step 4: Flip the duvet cover over the roll
Once you’ve rolled the duvet cover and comforter together, flip the duvet cover over the roll so it’s right side out. Make sure the opening of the duvet cover is still at the foot of the bed.
Step 5: Shake out the duvet cover
Shake out the duvet cover so it falls over the comforter. Make sure the corners of the duvet cover are in the right place, and then button or zip up the opening.
