I think it's easier for women for some reason... I get all inside the duvet and search for the corners.. to realize that another corner has escaped .. honestly it's a struggle for me
It’s more fun to climb inside the duvet cover along with the duvet then fall off the side of the bed when you lose your balance whilst at the same time ripping the duvet cover when your knee gets stuck on top of the cover. That’s the way I do it. Works every time.
Just saw this today. Even though “the roll” looks awkward, in my experience, it’s a peaceful, stress-free way of doing it. You can tie the corners of the insert, then roll. It’s such a relaxing way to accomplish a dreaded task.
@@bern8378 If my duvet cover has the strings sewn into the inside corners I pinch a bit of the duvet corner and tie around it. I have also been known to use safety pins.
Thank you so much! You are a life saver for a bachelor who recently moved abroad away from his family. I was so frustrated that I thought I'd rather settle for a regular blanket. Done in 2 minutes flat with the inside out method. Thanks!
I’ve got an even easier way. Put the duvet and the cover in the drier. Turn on the drier. When it’s finished the duvet will be inside the cover. Well it seems to work with sheets!
Brilliant! Yesterday, I replaced my single duvet cover and I did it the normal way by shoving the duvet up the cover, holding the two corners with duvet and then aligning the rest of it. The two methods shown here are so much easier and next time I will use one of these methods. Thank you!
1. Iron the cover so that it's nice and smooth. 2. Lay the cover down on the bed with the open end at the end of the bed and smooth it down so there's no crumples. 3. Put the duvet on the floor at the end of the bed, folded a bit so that it's small enough to fit inside the cover's opening. 4. Hold the opening open with one hand and start shoving the duvet inside with the other.. 5. Smooth down the cover some more. 6. Climb inside the duvet and spread it out trying to get the duvet up into the top corners of the cover. 7. Climb out and smooth down the cover some more. 8. Repeat 4 - 6 until exhausted. 9. Smooth down the cover some more. 10. Repeat until you realise that you left the cover inside out.
If you have a staircase, you can put the cover over the stair rails , then drop the duvet inside the cover. Using gravity to help you really makes it a whole lot easier. Hope that makes sense.
That’s what I do, using the inside out method, rather than trying to shake the heavy duvet which is fine if you are a tall man, rather than a short old woman 😂
Me too, but remember to let go, if you'r losing grip. It's better if the cover opens the full width , not many do. Roll it up ,place inside the laid out cover , near the top, take to the Landing bannister rail, hang over and let go of the rolled duvet, but still gripping the bottom edge AND It will fall and unroll down inside the cover. I read that someone had introduced a Velcro fitting top cover, but i haven't seen one advertised anywhere.
Very clever my dear lady , I wish I had seen this years ago, I was always folding & wrapping myself up , instead of folding up the cover over the duvet!! Helen xxx
Thank you SO much!!!! After months in different European countries, I have finally accomplished this task with - the Inside Out method all thanks to you! It takes 5 minutes! I have to re-watch the video again, but that's okay, because I've bookmarked it as a favorite! I never thought I'd get it right with the roll-up method and I would become completely exhausted just trying to figure it out; not anymore thanks to you.
Just tried the roll method.. worked like a dream. Cleanduvet cover on in no time. Less painful on my back so I think I'll persevere with it. Thank you!
THANK YOU, I've watched these demos before, only to quickly forget how, it's not something we do every day. Also, a coloured cover, as most are, would be esier to follow. Thanks again.
I watched 2 YT's on this subject and this one was the most "to-the-point" and helpful. Thanks. But each had a flaw: neither talked about side vs. bottom zipper on the duvet cover and if the comforter has a top and bottom how to make sure everything is oriented properly, if you understand my question. I figured it all out.....
The inside out has always been the best one for me, that is until I reached my eighties and now, definitely the best way for me, is to let my lovely helper Carol, do it😊
I use the roll method. I've been doing it for a while and as you get used to it it does get quicker. I'm short, so the inside out method is a bit of a challenge but it does look OK for single duvet covers.
The roll method is great if like me you only have full use of one hand, although these days I have duvet covers with all around zippers. I just unzip the cover , lay the duvet on bottom layer of the cover, pull the top layer straight then do up the zipper
When my son was small we did similar to inside out but I stood on the bed holding it up, then my son worked from the inside straightening it out.OK it was a game to him but we did it very quick!
Thank you for your very simple explanations of these 2 methods. I can't really explain how i did it before, but after trying the first method it was a darn sight easier! All done now with the cat curled up on it. Thanks again.
I have been doing the roll out method for years since I first saw it on you tube, many years ago, the difficulty is the ends, I purchased a zipped closure cover which will make it easier.
@@lf9341 because they're horrible to wash, and much of the world -- the part that believes in duvets -- doesn't sell top sheets. Speaking from experience. It's lovely to be able to wash your duvet cover weekly instead of just washing a top sheet and having to deal with a dusty comforter.
looks like i am not the only one that hates putting on the cover, worst chore by far... easily the most satisfying once it is complete omg. Thanks for the vidoe, helps a lot.
I would say you are definitely not the only one who hates putting on the duvet cover. Even with these methods it's not an easy job! Just go with your best methods.
Thank you for demonstrating both the inside-out and roll methods. Even though I’ve used the roll method successfully a few times, I conceptually have difficulty understanding how it actually works especially at the part where you begin to unroll. Most videos do not explain that step well at all. Even though yours is a bit better at that, I still have trouble grasping that part. So it is always a struggle, plus it is slow for a single person. I will use the inside-out from now on.
Thank you so much for making this video! I gotta admit, I've failed at the burrito method three times. I had a hunch that there must be another video floating around that showed a more effective approach. This is definitely the one!😎
I needed a good explanation on THE ROLL. I have a weighted blanket that is like trying to maneuver a sack of cement! I feel like I can manage switching the cover now!😂
OMG. Where were you all when your mum or dad showed you this amazing life hack!! We had sheets and blankets growing up and ‘continental quilts’ as duvets were first known as back in the bleak 1970s! were like magic but not impossible to work out! Even for us kids of the 70s!🤣🤣🤣 Put a very large bag over a puffy smaller bag…..job done!
I use duvets and covers in my home. The inside out method works great if the cover opens all the way across. Otherwise, it's much more difficult and requires, in my opinion, two people!
What I have noticed is that the duvet cover shown does not have any fastening which makes it easier for either of the methods. All my duvet covers have fastening and although it is possible to do the roll method it's a bit more difficult.
The fastening obviously needs to be undone, but some covers only have an opening in the middle rather than along the whole width which makes it much more difficult.
I hate changing my duvet, I'm glad I was doing it the quickest way. I used to work in a hotel, the quick way is the favourite, you need a lot of energy for it though.
Agreed, I used the quick 'inside out' method for years... but as I get older and don't have the strength I used to, the 'Burrito/California roll' method has become a lifesaver. It doesn't take that much longer and is easy for one person to do alone!
I am an 83 year old engineer who wants to know how things work, I have used this method now for some 12 months successfully, but I am blowed if I can work out why, it just works.
I sew a loop on all 4 corrners of the duvet 1st,then when I get a new, duvet cover i sew a strip of tape or ribbon, about 5 inch long to each of the corresponding corners to tie the ribbon to. I find this method simple. As my husband, and grandchildren, when they stay over don't lose themselves in the bedding! As I'm the only person who deals with the bedding it makes for a quiet life ?for me anyway.
Most swedishs duvet covers have two opening on top on each side fore easy access the duvet and pulling it to the top. Putting the duvet into the cover is all done in less then a minute.
Inside out as you get older isn't as good but you can get various quilt and duvet holders. Put the cover the right way round take the corner of the quilt and put it into the cover to the corner and fix whatever type you have to keep the two together then do the same to each corner. They stay together then fine :-)
I have 2 jobs, accounts through the week and housekeeping at the weekend. Everybody works differently depending on what is more comfortable for them and alot depends on the persons size. Steve for example is a big fella who will pull the bed out standing at the top shake the cover over the kingsize duvet lay on the bed and voila, done in no time at all. Others will get it ready at the top and pull it over and down, hardly any strength is required. Practice makes perfect after the 10th one of the day no need to go to the gym😂
For Americans working with larger duvets (king/queen) the roll method is perfect for one person - the biggest challenge is keeping the roll together while you are turning those initial corners around.

The inside out method is soooooo much better than the roll method, thank you!
It also works better for thicker/heavier duvets.
I thought the inside out was the roll method? 🤔🤔
@@kayem66 😂😂😂 It is !
Because your still strong. I’m not anymore.
My weekly fight with the duvet and cover is the highlight of my week. A test of human will and strength over the mighty duvet.
😢😢😢😢😢
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂 I have to agree. It's better than a gym work out. 😂😂😂😊
it’s so tedious haha

My cover has ties to attach to duvet the first way works well for doing them up, mine is king size (canadian) three ties on all 4 sides !
THANK YOU, I've watched these demos before, only to quickly forget how, it's not something we do every day. Also, a coloured cover, as most are, would be esier to follow. Thanks again.
I was just thinking that the demo would have been easier to follow with a coloured cover.
Omg thank you!! You just saved my back with this 25lb king sized weighted blanket!! The roll method is the way to go 🙌🙏👍

I owe you a GIANT thanks for teaching us how to fill our duvet the right way. You honestly saved our marriage !!!!
Method #1/inside out. You just saved me a boat-load of stress and frustration. Thank you.😂😍
College friend showed me the inside out way when I was newly out of the US. Been using it for 29 years.
I was just struggeling and laugthing at myself finally i did some half thing ....thanks I needed this :)
Been doing the inside out for years. By far the easiest. So much easier when two people do it...not always possible I know. 😊
Best explanation ever.
My buddy does the second method and it's so much work. I do the first - 62 seconds it takes me.
The roll method is great if like me you only have full use of one hand, although these days I have duvet covers with all around zippers. I just unzip the cover , lay the duvet on bottom layer of the cover, pull the top layer straight then do up the zipper

Well presented and explained.Thank you😊
Great thanks. I did it, a mere male, and it only took 5 minutes, inside out. Thank you.
thanks very much for this! i'm an inside-outer (but props to the geometric physicist who came up with the roll method!)
Thanks for showing me the inside out method ! Cheers Eddie
I did the reverse trick with a normal blanket & it worked, thanks.
Fantastic.
I'm just about to cover my duvet. Looks like good advice 😊
Been doing the inside out for more than 40 yrs now. Can’t believe so many people didn’t even know how to do it.
Astonishing isn’t it?!
Why not just use a comforter?
Well there would have been a first time for you, or did you just guess
Not everybody had one of these duvets. I grew up with blankets. They were just fine.
@@lf9341 because they're horrible to wash, and much of the world -- the part that believes in duvets -- doesn't sell top sheets. Speaking from experience. It's lovely to be able to wash your duvet cover weekly instead of just washing a top sheet and having to deal with a dusty comforter.

Thanks for the tips. Going to try both methods. Have a king size bed and it is always a struggle getting the doona into the cover.
Thank you.❤
Thanks for that! I'll use your first example in two weeks.
I've used the inside out method for years but I'll certainly give the roll method a try.
Hi just push your duvet into the cove and make sure its right in the top corners and out a peg to keep it there and just staighten it out ❤
I love this video this is a educational video, you make it so very easy, by putting on the duvet cover.

Try those methods with a Super King size duvet!
The roll method for sure with king size
Yeah mine is super king and the roll worked perfectly 👍
I think with a super king size, it would probably be better with an extra pair of hands!

Thank you, and I only did the inside out in 15 seconds :D
I love the British way of the instruction of how to do duvet properly🤭they make it looks like a scientific documentary😂😄
INSIDE OUT SAVED ME AFTER 3 HOURS AND A FIT OF TEARS
Which...... Thank you very much........ You save my life 😗😗😗😗🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🎉🎉🎉🎉 thumbs up 100 % n more......
With thicker quilts and covers the roll method works the best. No uneven shake-outs like with the inside out or ghost method.

Why dont manufacturers put buttons or press studs, leave the cover on the bed , open it, drop duvet into cover, button up or press studs. Job done
A man's solution Sean.
What a performance!! Just use the corner to corner method less fuss
Might try the roll method, but fortunately we use sheet sets so not the need to wash doona cover so often 😊

Very Helpful tips
Having two people work at this, would help greatly.
My sister and brother in law ( both in their 70s) do it together. They find it a lot easier for themselves working together.
the task i dread most whilst changing the duvet cover, is peeling it off after being superglued with spunk.
if the duvet has ties, when do you tie the comforter to it?
I am an 83 year old engineer who wants to know how things work, I have used this method now for some 12 months successfully, but I am blowed if I can work out why, it just works.
Use a Fleece throw I sweat much less. and it fits in the washing machine x dry very quickly ❤
