Is it a hassle to make your bed in the mornings? Fit a quilt cover in less than 1 minute!

Quilt covers are well appreciated the world over for protecting our precious duvets as well as adding life to bedrooms through their variety of colours and unique patterns. However, some of you may find it otherwise since a quilt cover can sometimes be quite difficult to put back on your duvet after washing. It can be a struggle, we know! Is there anyone that can actually fit a quilt cover easily? Surprisingly yes, and here's how they do it.

Method 1 (The “Glove” Technique):

   1. Lay the duvet flat across the bed.
   2. Turn your clean quilt cover inside out.
   3. Put your hands into the cover and grasp the two corners furthest from the opening.
   4. Wearing like a huge glove, grab the top corners of your duvet. Lift them in the air and give it a good gentle shake.
   5. The cover should fall down over the duvet until it reaches the bottom.
   6. Make sure all four corners fit snugly into the cover; make necessary adjustments.
   7. Secure the bottom of the cover (buttons, ties, zipper, etc.).

Method 2 (The “Tube” Technique):

   1. Spread the quilt cover out on the bed.Hold the duvet and put the sides to the middle (forming like a tube).
   2. Gently put the “tube” into the cover and release the sides to open it out.
   3. Make sure the corners fit snugly into the cover; make necessary adjustments.
   4. Secure the bottom of the cover (buttons, ties, zipper, etc.). And—voila!—your quilt cover is perfectly back on without you getting into a mess or losing your temper!

From our experience, the first method is found to be most commonly used by people as it is quick and easy but with a good chance of creasing your cover.  On the other hand, aside from being super duper quick (though a little tough for first timers). The second method is observed to minimize the chances of getting the quilt cover creased. Try both and find out for yourself which one you are more comfortable using. With little practice you can actually complete either in a minute or less!
