Thank you Ms. Cohen! Following your instructions took more like 5 minutes than 10 seconds(after all, I'm a guy) but the fit is perfect and I was going crazy trying to follow another video.

Interesting to see all the methods for this! I use the inside out method over the bannister of the upstairs landing. Takes about a minute and always works, thanks to gravity. Been doing that for 35 years. Us Australians followed the Scandinavians in adopting the duvet long ago, now finally the Americans have caught on ... now we just need the bedding makers to catch on :) ... those big fat comforters with non-removable covers ... i mean how many of those can you fit in your linen closet? and they're too big for the washing machine too. One duvet and many different covers make so much more sense.

This worked perfect! I did have my partner hold one corner and I held the other to shake it out because I have a king size comforter. I didn't expect it to work and viola it was great! Great tip! Change the name to 5 minute tip and those having a hard time may get over it.

@elishaarmstrong5550 9 жыл бұрын

ugh! My arms were killing me after trying this method! My king size comforter took forever to get unrolled while shaking it, and even then i had to hold the duvet open and send my 7 year old inside it to fix a corner that wouldn't unfold, lol! Think i'll try the inside out method next :D

Interesting. This will be very helpful for putting on our new duvet. Just a comment on your Cairn. We had one (she passed away from old age a few years back) that looked EXACTLY like yours. No difference. They could be twins. Same hair length and color, same look on face, same tongue, everything. You would be amazed if you saw a picture of her as I was when I saw your Cairn. I had to do a double take and replay it. I know that all dog breeds carry the same DNA and can look a lot alike, but not exactly alike! Uncanny!

Thanks for the video! FINALLY I know the difference between a Duvet, Duvet cover, and a comforter. A duvet is basically a lightweight comforter, and the duvet cover is like a giant pillowcase that the duvet gets inserted into. Thanks!

If this method doesn't work for you (esp. with a bottom-opening one), try this: 1) turn the duvet cover inside out 2) reach into the inside-out cover and grab both corners at the far end 3) with hands still inside the cover, grab 2 corresponding corners of the duvet 4) pull corners out of inside-out cover, and shake until the cover is facing the right way out again. Haven't tried on larger duvets, but for single sizes it's a quick 1-person job and makes my life that little bit better :)

I appreciate the thought, but there are def some steps and/or tips missing! After folding the cover, my opening was *not* on top, and when I flipped it to be, I must have done it wrong because the flicking thing didn't work *at* *all*. :-(

@StopDropGaming 10 жыл бұрын

I find this is no way gonna take 10 seconds, a minute maybe. The way I always do it is get the cover and turn it inside out, then put my hands inside and grab the corners opposite to the opening, then pinch the covers of the duvet and lift and shake, the cover will fall over the duvet and then just lay it down, check the corners are in place and close the opening. DONE!

Starts off saying fold cover over towards opening, which means the opening is now on the bottom, When she inserts the duvet the opening is now supposed to be on top. The duvet must be of a very slippery material, lifting and tossing just finishes with it curled up. It'll work better if you insert the duvet, grasp its corners to the inside corners of the cover, (furthest corners from the opening), then shake, But a lot more than 10 seconds.

This method works only if the cover is much wider than the duvet, like putting a twin duvet inside a full cover. Otherwise, you can shake as long as you want and still will not get the job done properly. Maybe in 10 minutes instead of 10 seconds?

@ferriferoustourmaline 8 жыл бұрын

I've tried this many, many times, and it's kinda worked once. for some reason I keep trying over and over again. basically the duvet does not unfold properly and fill out the cover once you do the shaking out bit. any tips anyone? ps. Arianne you do this very gracefully, no need to be modest.

@ferriferoustourmaline 8 жыл бұрын

+Darren Chaitman UPDATE: my fellow strugglers, I have news that will please you all. right after writing the above post, I tried again and was actually successful. this week I have been successful again, and I now believe I have finally mastered this. the trick is that 1. the duvet cover opening must must be on top. you may have to flip it over after folding it so this is the case. and 2. you must have the corners/edges of the duvet on top and in your hands as you start the shaking out bit. again this may mean flipping the duvet in advance after folding, so that the corners are in the right position when you do the stuffing. also there's a danger of the duvet falling out of the cover when you start the shaking. be really careful when you start so it doesn't fall out, and once it's safely inside you can shake it wildly to your heart's content.

Much easier and quicker to turn the duvet inside out, lay the comforter on top, tie the corners of the duvet to the comforter, turn right side out and shake. Some American-made duvets don't have the ties, so I sew some in.
