How To Put On A Duvet Cover With Buttons
Putting on a duvet cover can be a challenging task, especially if it has buttons. I used to dread changing my duvet cover until I learned a few tricks. In this article, I will share my personal experience and provide you with step-by-step instructions on how to put on a duvet cover with buttons.
Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1: Turn the Duvet Cover Inside Out
Start by turning the duvet cover inside out and laying it flat on your bed. Make sure the opening with buttons is at the foot of the bed.
Step 2: Insert the Duvet
Next, insert the duvet into the cover. Make sure the corners of the duvet are aligned with the corners of the cover.
Step 3: Button the Cover
Button the duvet cover starting from the foot of the bed and working your way up to the top. Make sure all the buttons are fastened properly.
Step 4: Shake it Out
Finally, shake the duvet cover out to ensure the duvet is evenly distributed inside. Flip the cover right side out and smooth it over your bed for a perfect finish.
Top 10 Tips and Ideas
- Use safety pins to secure the corners of the duvet to the cover before buttoning it up.
- Ask someone to help you hold the corners of the duvet and cover in place while you button it up.
- Choose a duvet cover with larger buttons to make it easier to button up.
- Wash and dry your duvet cover before putting it on to make it more pliable.
- If your duvet cover has ties instead of buttons, tie them before inserting the duvet.
- Roll up the duvet and cover tightly before inserting it into the cover.
- Iron the duvet cover before putting it on for a neater look.
- Use a duvet cover with a zipper if you find buttons too difficult to handle.
- Invest in a duvet cover with snap closures for an even easier time putting it on.
- Take your time and be patient. It may take a few tries to get it right.
Pros and Cons
The main advantage of using a duvet cover with buttons is that it keeps the duvet in place and prevents it from sliding around inside. It also makes it easier to remove and wash the cover. However, the buttons can be difficult to handle, especially if they are small or located in hard-to-reach areas. It can also be time-consuming to button up the cover properly.
My Personal Review and Suggestion
After struggling with duvet covers for years, I finally found a cover with snap closures, and it has made my life so much easier. However, if you prefer a cover with buttons, I recommend using safety pins or asking for help to hold the duvet and cover in place while buttoning it up. Don’t be afraid to take your time and adjust as needed to get it just right.
