My Experience With Making A Bed Using A Duvet Cover

As someone who is a bit of a neat freak, I always take pride in making my bed every morning. However, when I switched from using a traditional comforter to a duvet cover, I found myself struggling to make my bed look as neat and tidy as it did before. After some trial and error, I finally figured out the best way to make a bed using a duvet cover. In this article, I’ll share my tips and tricks for making a bed with a duvet cover.

How to Make a Bed with a Duvet Cover: Step by Step Guide

Step 1: Start with a clean duvet cover

Before you start making your bed, make sure your duvet cover is clean and free from wrinkles. If your duvet cover is wrinkled, you can iron it or throw it in the dryer with a damp towel to help remove the wrinkles.

Step 2: Spread the duvet cover over your bed

Spread the duvet cover over your bed with the opening at the foot of the bed. Make sure the duvet cover is centered on the bed and the sides are hanging evenly over the edges of the bed.

Step 3: Insert your duvet

Insert your duvet into the duvet cover by reaching inside the cover and grabbing the top corners of the duvet. Shake the duvet to help it settle into the corners of the cover. Once the duvet is inside the cover, button or zip it closed.

Step 4: Shake and fluff

Shake and fluff your duvet and duvet cover to make sure they are evenly distributed. You can also pull on the corners of the duvet to help it fill out the cover.

Step 5: Fold down the top of the duvet cover

Fold down the top of the duvet cover to create a border. You can also add throw pillows or shams to complete the look.
