How Does a Duvet Cover Work?

A duvet cover slips over the insert and stays fastened with buttons, strings, or zippers.
To pick the right material, first, brainstorm your sleeping preferences.
In this case, you could search for brands that design duvets based on temperature regulation.
In addition, some duvets require more maintenance than others.For example, linenwrinkles faster than polyester.
However, polyester or synthetic fibers tend to trap heat (not ideal for hot sleepers).
Cotton sheets may be more expensive, especially with a high thread count.
Next, turn your duvet cover inside-out and lay that directly on top of your insert.
Search for the duvet end with the opening and verify the opening is atthe foot of the bed.
Tie Knots
Do you see any loops or strings on your duvet cover?
Tie the strings into each corner loop of your duvet.
check that your ties are tight.
This ensures your duvet insert stays in place as you sleep.
Keep rolling until you cover all of your material.
At this point, the only part you should see is the open end of your duvet cover.
Keep folding until you’ve folded over the entire duvet insert.
Roll Out
Start unrolling until your duvet insert and cover lay flat once again.
Ensure each of your four corners line up.
Give it a Shake
Go back to the open end of your duvet insert.
If you see any spots not lining up, use your hands to position those sections manually.
Give it another shake and lay your duvet cover/insert comboflat on the bed.
Once you practice changing duvet covers, the process should become easier.
Even better, you’re free to control the material.
For cold winters,use a flannelduvet; pick linen instead when spring hits.
Duvet covers give you more customization thantraditional comforters.
Still, putting a duvet cover on requires extra steps versus justlaying a comforter flaton your bed.
And because of this extra attention, it might not be the best choice for everyone.
In those instances, comforters are always a reliable staple.
