Man v Duvet v Duvet Cover

Bonnyboy · 31-08-2008, 20:35

One King-size duvet, one medium size man, one King-size duvet cover. How the hell do you do it single headedly without taking 20mins. I get depressed just thinking of having to do it. It’s the one task I hate with a vengeance. ( If I had any, this job would get right on 'em )

Any tips on how to do it in a fast efficient manner on your own

Let the Mrs do it, looks easy

She rolls the cover up her arms (inside out I think) the gets hold of the duvet at the corners and just shakes it down, seems to work but I haven't tried it

This works:-

Take 4 large, spring-fastening clothes pegs. Push the duvet into the top end of the duvet cover. Line up the top of the duvet along the seam and anchor it with the clothes pegs (1 at each corner and 2 spaced between), then just pull the cover down to the bottom of the duvet and fasten it. Remove the pegs before sleeping (or you'll get one up your nose).

Are you married to a Gorilla, how long are her arms

There is more to it than that, I assure you

I haven’t tried the peg thing , has to be an aid.

Top tip about removing the pegs lol but I’m not a complete amateur

With luck we can both benefit from this thread then

Haha..I thought the thread title said Man U duvet cover at first...thought you were flogging one!

You need to put the corners of the duvet into the corners of the duvet cover and hold on tight to them...then you can just shake it down.

Long arms would be useful. I'm no gorilla but this is how I manage it.

I think when I read this post it appeared double and for some reason thought it was about a Man Utd Duvet....Had another drink of my favourite tipple...and realised I'd got it wrong....I was just about to suggest what you do with the Man Utd Duvet...then I had another.
Know where your coming from...and good luck.

I have to stand on the bed and try shaking it to the floor but I'm still not far enough off the ground, 2 foot of duvet is still on the carpet
