I've bought one like this before, but they can't have sold as I haven't seen one in ages.

A long time ago, I visited a family in Austria on a school exchange. Their duvet covers were a two-part affair, with a large diamond, circle or square section of the top separate from the underside. The cover was laid out on the bed, the duvet placed on top, the corners then tucked in, and the other part of the cover poppered in place. They are easy, neat and decorative (the insert can be a different pattern or colour). I've been looking for them in the UK (and elsewhere) ever since; I can't understand why no-one is selling them. Mind you, I've not seen them anywhere else I've stayed. Maybe they were home made. Or maybe they are an Austrian secret!

All those people praising the “grab the corners” method, which I had done for years, don’t seem to understand the shaking and pulling about required for that can be hard for some people. I am finding it harder and am grateful for being shown less strenuous methods. If you have no problem then fine but don’t get all sneery about things that may help others. If you can do a four minute mile great but don’t sneer at those who do it in 10!

I may be a little late but the key is to fold ends in to turn it inside out. After watching countless videos, your method made it so much easier. Thank you so much!

The way I was taught was put the cover over the bed and feed the duvet in , corner by corner that’s the secret , then give it a shake. When I was at sea we just had sheets, counterpanes, blankets . We had a bed making system , which made it easier to get out of the bed in an emergency!

But before this, my wife (a tiny lady) used to do it this way, and while she was lying inside the cover (and on the bed), lost and fighting to get out - I quickly buttoned her up inside it!!
