How to put on a duvet cover

How to put on a duvet cover easily?

Changing your duvet cover can quickly become a real headache. Between the corners getting tangled and the duvet slipping, you often lose patience! However, putting on a duvet cover can become quick and easy thanks to a few well-known tips... and an ingenious French innovation.
In this article, we explain how to put on a duvet cover using different techniques, from the "burrito" fold to the Hopoli tool, for a perfect bed without effort.

1. The classic method

This is the most well-known method, and often the first one people learn.

Turn the duvet cover inside out.
Slide your arms inside and grab the top two corners.
Grab the corresponding corners of the duvet, then flip the cover right side out by shaking it.

This method makes it easy to put on a duvet cover, but it can require a bit of strength and patience, especially for larger sizes (260x240 cm). It's ideal if there are two of you, but less so when you have to put on a duvet cover alone.

2. La technique du « burrito » 🌯

Très populaire sur les réseaux sociaux, la méthode du « burrito » (ou méthode du rouleau) simplifie beaucoup les choses.

Voici comment mettre une housse de couette avec cette technique :

Étalez la housse de couette à l'envers sur votre lit.
Posez la couette par-dessus, bord à bord.
Roulez la couette et la housse ensemble, comme un burrito.
Enroulez les bords de la housse autour du rouleau, puis déroulez.

Résultat : votre housse de couette facile à mettre est installée en moins de deux minutes !
Cette méthode séduit par sa rapidité et son côté ludique.

3. The Hopoli duvet cover fitting technique

If you're looking for how to put on a duvet cover without any hassle, the Hopoli tool is the ideal solution.
Designed and manufactured in France, the Hopoli duvet inserter is an innovation awarded a gold medal at the Concours Lépine 2019.
It consists of two steel clamps to be attached to the top of a door (standard or overlapping model). Simply hook the corners of the cover and the duvet, then pull: the duvet slides easily into the cover, effortlessly.

💡 In just a few steps, you can put on a duvet, even a large one, by yourself, and without breaking a sweat!
It makes putting on a duvet cover easy, quick, practical, and above all, accessible to everyone, even people with reduced mobility.
