How to quickly tuck a duvet into a duvet cover?

Changing bed linen is often a painful process. This action can lead you to gnash in your teeth, especially when the corners "run away". And if you also confused the length with the width, then everything is lost: there is no other way out but to take and start all over again.

In fact, everything is simpler as it seems. And you don't have to sigh when you think about it. In this publication, we will tell you how to easily insert a blanket into a duvet cover in several ways. We will share life hacks on the topic, and, perhaps, after reading the article, this process will no longer be so boring and painful for you.

Many argue that quickly tucking a blanket into a duvet cover will not work properly in any case, even if you try very hard. Well, maybe so, but you can still make your life easier. A few preliminary manipulations will help to make this action less nervous.

1. Iron the duvet cover before starting work. Under the iron, the fabric will be disinfected, it will outwardly become more attractive, later it will not wrinkle so much, and finally, it will be much easier to put on the blanket.
2. Choose a duvet and cover made from natural fabrics - this way you simplify the refueling process. Synthetics are known to be magnetized and electrified. Agree that the products begin to stick to each other, the process becomes more complicated.
3. Choose a duvet cover that is only the same size as the bedspread, otherwise you either have to catch it all night, or squeeze it in with difficulty. As a result, you will get a knocked-down product for covering, under which it will be uncomfortable to sleep.

Speed ​​is not a very good ally in this matter.

But first, get used to the method that is more acceptable to you. Along the way, prepare yourself tools that will make your job easier. For example, there are special clips for corners (you can also use ordinary clothespins), pins for textiles and other little things that make life easier at these moments.

So, further on in more detail about the most popular ways of filling a blanket into a duvet cover. You remember some of them from childhood, others may seem like a wonder to you, but different generations show ingenuity. In order to facilitate not the most pleasant process, we thought and looked for options at all times.

The “Book” option is used to tuck the bedspread into linen when the blanket cover has a square or diamond-shaped cutout (more outdated models). In this case, proceed as follows.

1. The long side of the bedspread (blanket) is folded in half or four (depending on size). When assembled, it is easier to push it through the hole in the bedding.
2. Inside, the blanket is spread across the width and 2 corners are placed in their places.
3. Grasping the straightened ends, shake so that the blanket inside the duvet cover is fully opened.

So that there are no lumps inside, it is better to involve another person in the action in order to shake the product from both sides at once.

The essence of the method is as follows: due to the folding of the bedspread into a "book", it is easier to fit into the cover than if you shove in a wide canvas. If the duvet cover comes with a side cut in the bedding set, then the bedspread must be put in a horizontal position before folding.

Further actions are the same. In fact, in practice, it is not at all difficult to implement this method, which has been known since Soviet times. The open blanket is more difficult to shove into the cover through the narrow cutout, but when folded, it fits easily.

A favorite way of children, if you entrust them with this process. However, why not, it’s so intriguing to be inside a duvet cover. You need to completely climb into the cover, tighten the blanket there and then straighten it inside. In theory, everything will seem simple and fast, but in practice, taking into account some factors, the process can be delayed.

Well, this is quite risky: you can break the cover in the process of such actions with "diving". However, the procedure can be simplified and only partial "diving" can be carried out.

• To do this, turn the duvet cover inside out and insert your hands into 2 corners. Then they grab 2 ends of the blanket, turn the cover inside out and drag the blanket so that one half is “in clothes”.
• The same is done with the second half of the product: insert their hands into the remaining corners of the turned out part and drag the blanket through.
• At the end, the laundry needs to be whipped., grabbing it by the edges so that the cover is lump-free inside.

So, partial or complete "diving" will allow you to tuck the blanket into the fabric, only in the second case it is advisable not to overdo it so as not to break the base of the cover.

Many people think that it is easy to tuck a blanket into a duvet cover using the "roll" (or "sausage") method. Use the following life hack:

• turn the cover inside out and place it with a cut on your side;
• spread the blanket over the duvet cover (be sure to match the corners);
• then wrap the duvet cover together with the blanket "in a sausage" (you should get a tight roller);
• pull the cutout on top of the roller and roll it out;
• the untwisted canvas can only be shaken.

Everything is pretty simple and effective. With the help of such a simple life hack, you can quickly put on a duvet cover, saving your time and, most importantly, nerves.After acquiring this skill, you will spend no more than a minute changing clothes.

Difficulties can arise if the duvet cover comes with a hole on the side, well, if the duvet is too heavy and dense, it is in any case difficult to put such a product into the cover. It is important to remember that for any method of filling the duvet into the duvet cover, both items must be the same size. What matters is the model of the duvet cover and the cut with which it is sewn.

Consider the option of replacing bedding when the duvet cover has a side cutout. I must say that the side hole does not complicate the action if you follow this algorithm.

1. You need to turn the duvet cover inside out, sticking your hands in the neckline... In this case, the opposite angles are captured: one in the part of the head, the other in the part of the legs.
2. Now grab the appropriate corners of the blanket across the fabric and start turning the cover over your face, until the blanket is in the "clothes".
3. Check to the corners coincided and straighten the product.

This method is similar to replacing pillowcases. But to replace the duvet cover, it is better to invite someone else or ask someone who is tall to replace the cover. It will be easier for him to shake the product and remove lumps inside.

The side slit on the duvet cover has its advantages, the main of which is that the blanket will not fall out of such a cover. Consider more ways of threading the linen when the cutout is in the middle. Such duvet covers were fashionable in the USSR, perhaps even now the tricks of replacing them will be useful to someone. The process consists of 3 stages:

• the blanket is folded like an accordion and placed over the cover in the middle;
• first pass 2 corners at one end, straighten them, then set the blanket in the remaining 2 corners;
• shake a blanket with a new duvet cover, straighten the folds and make the bed.

It is easy to cope with such a replacement alone, you do not need to call anyone for help, and it will not take much time to change the bed linen in this way. And here is another life hack on this topic:

• spreading the linen on the bed with the hole down;
• a blanket is laid out on top so that its edges coincide with the edges of the duvet cover;
• roll up two products from top to bottom (the roll should roll down evenly);
• upon completion of the twisting, the slot is threaded onto one and the other edge of the roll;
• the blanket is unfolded outward through the slit worn along the edges of the roll;
• all that remains is to shake the blanket into the duvet cover.

To replace the duvet cover with a slit on the side, use ordinary clothespins. The algorithm of actions in this case is as follows:

• the blanket is rolled in length;
• the corners are tucked into the cover, they are fixed with clothespins;
• the product must be shaken well so that the roller rolls out inside;
• straighten out the wrinkles and cover their bed.

This method is used if the blanket is made of sliding fabric or is too heavy. To fix the corners, you can take paper clips, other similar items, but, as a rule, clothespins are always at hand and they are most often used.

It is easier, of course, to make a change of linen in four hands: call your spouse, mother, child or other household member. But when no one is around, it is the fixation method that can help out. Insert the corners of the duvet one by one into the corresponding place of the duvet cover and fix it with a clothespin, a large pin, and an elastic band. This will put all four corners in place. The blanket can be fluffed and then released from the clips.

But other methods, which were mentioned in the article, deserve attention. The process of refueling the duvet cover acts on some as a good motivator: if you manage to cope with this matter, you will be able to cope with others.

However, you can do without a duvet cover and just get away with a blanket.However, experts do not recommend doing this, various fungi can form on the surface of the blanket and harmful particles constantly settle. No one has canceled the hygiene rules yet, and if someone thinks that bed linen can be changed once every 2 weeks or a month, then they are deeply mistaken. it should be done at least once a week.

By the way, hotel workers usually turn the duvet cover inside out and grip the corners of the duvet through the fabric. They are so trained in this business that they only need no more than 30 seconds to change the duvet cover. Check yourself, how much you do it for, try each option and choose your best one. And no nervousness, everything is doable.
