What should be a two minute job can turn into a group effort taking half an hour when it comes to changing your duvet cover as people get confused and tangled up. Well not any more. Here you will find a blow by blow guide to changing your duvet cover quickly and without any hassle.

Step 1 First of all, you need to take the old duvet cover off your bed, ready to be washed. Without these extra sheets you will have more room to change the bed linen and are less likely to get tangled up. The bigger your bed, the more room you need in which to manoeuvre.

Step 2 Make sure that you turn your new duvet cover inside out as your next step. When you try to shove the blanket into a cover you will understand why we use this method instead of any other. You should also lay the blanket out on the bed as you would sleep under it, so the shorter ends are at the head and foot of the bed.

Step 3 Next you need to find the two corners in the duvet cover which go with the two end corners of the blanket. For most covers this will be the two corners at the opposite end of the opening. If the duvet cover manages to fall over your body so your head is at the end of it, move back out of the cover and bunch the material over your arms.

Step 4 Next it is time to match those duvet corners to the blanket. You should find yourself stood at the foot of the bed if you followed step 2 closely. Depending on how long your arms are you might need to stretch to be able to reach both corners at once, but just make sure they are tightly held together.

Step 5 Now it's time for the best bit. Because I am only 5'5" it can be a struggle to get the duvet cover to surround the entire length of the blanket. With both corners firmly in hand, stand on the bed and give yourself a shake, which will make the duvet cover slide down the blanket. This may require that the blanket hangs off the edge of the bed.

Step 6 Now the duvet should be totally covering the blanket and you will be able to fasten it at the bottom. Once all of the buttons/poppers have been fastened, give the duvet a final shake to even out any bumps and you will have a perfectly made bed to sleep in.

I hope you have enjoyed this guide to changing your duvet cover. For a massive range of duvet cover sets visit www.yorkshirelinen.com
