My Experience With Filling A Duvet Cover

As someone who loves to switch up the decor in my bedroom often, I have become quite familiar with the process of filling a duvet cover. However, it wasn’t always easy for me. In fact, the first few times I attempted to fill a duvet cover, I ended up feeling frustrated and defeated. But over time, I have learned some helpful tips and tricks that have made the process much smoother.

How Do You Fill A Duvet Cover?

Filling a duvet cover can seem like a daunting task, but with the right approach, it can be done quickly and easily. Here are the steps I follow:

Step 1: Turn Your Duvet Cover Inside Out

The first step is to turn your duvet cover inside out and lay it flat on your bed. This will make it easier to insert your comforter or duvet into the cover.

Step 2: Grab Your Comforter or Duvet

Next, grab your comforter or duvet and lay it on top of the inside-out cover.

Step 3: Roll It Up

Starting at the head of the bed, roll the duvet and comforter together towards the foot of the bed. This will create a sort of “duvet burrito”.

Step 4: Insert the Duvet Burrito

Once you have rolled up the duvet and comforter, insert the “duvet burrito” into the cover. Make sure that the corners of the duvet line up with the corners of the cover.

Step 5: Unroll and Shake It Out

Unroll the duvet and comforter from the cover and shake it out to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the cover.

Top 10 Tips and Ideas on How Do You Fill A Duvet Cover

Here are some additional tips and ideas that can make filling a duvet cover even easier:

Choose a duvet cover that has ties or buttons to keep the comforter in place.
Use a duvet cover that is slightly larger than your comforter to make it easier to fill.
Have a friend help you shake out the duvet once it is in the cover to ensure that it is distributed evenly.
If you have a particularly fluffy duvet, consider using a vacuum to compress it before inserting it into the cover.
Before inserting the duvet, make sure that the cover is completely dry to avoid any mold or mildew growth.
If you struggle with filling a duvet cover, consider using a duvet cover clip to hold the corners of the duvet in place.
Invest in a duvet cover with a zipper for even easier filling.
If you have a down comforter, consider using a duvet cover made specifically for down comforters to prevent feathers from escaping.
Wash your duvet cover regularly to keep it fresh and clean.
Consider using a duvet cover in a pattern or color that complements your bedroom decor for a cohesive look.
