Makes me shiver with rejection - zip scraping against my skin............

[Vagus]

Dispense with duvet cover altogether, use a sheet between you duvet, much simpler..and cheaper.

[DTCwordfan]

great idea though the point of catching the proverbials in the zip is taken.....

[davebro]

If the hardest thing you have to do is changing a duvet cover ....

[lankeela]

If I won the Euromillions I would employ someone just to change duvet covers, hang out washing and fill the van up with diesel - all jobs I hate with a vengeance!

[jennyjoan]

Lankeela - they have been out for some years now. I bought my brother and myself one and never again. They were still a nuisance to zip around the 3 corners. He threw his out.

fresh sheets and towels every day, freshly laundered shirts to 5* hotel standard, send it on...need to launder up the National Lotto - Euromillions is at £180mln, I believe - I could live on that and even donate a wee bit to charities of my choice and two or three on here to help them out.

I have 2 duvet covers, a winter one and a summer one. Each is washed just once a year. Live Vegus, I have a top flat sheet between me and the duvet, which is washed weekly.

I find the best way to put a new cover on is to hold a corner in your left and right hand and crawl into the cover, placing the the corners in the top corners. Crawl out, then pick up the duvet and shake the bottom corners into place.

Putting a sheet between you and the duvet and its cover surely negates the whole snuggly effect of the duvet doesn't it??!

[jennyjoan]

I tried that sheet business - gee - got on my nerves as it danced all around the bed.

[Mamyalynne]

I'd end up tied in a knot in the sheet.

[Smowball]

Job I loathe, but easiest way is turn clean duvet cover inside out, put hands inside - one up into each top corner and grab each corner, then with each hand in each corner grab each corner of duvet, and flip so that the inside out cover drops down onto the duvet. Sounds complicated but it’s easy.

[Mamyalynne]

That's what I've always done with singles and sometimes doubles too Smow, but now with my limitations doing that with a kingsize is beyond me.

[anneasquith]

Have used a sheet for years , no problem.

[ladybirder]

Am I the only person who hates duvets? They are far too hot for me, even the lowest tog ones. A sheet, two cotton blankets and a cotton bedspread are enough for me in the coldest weather. Oh, and the dog of course;-)

[Smowball]

Mamya I’ve a kings size now and admit it’s hard work!
When everyone says they have a sheet, do they mean instead of a duvet cover?? Am confused lol

[jno]

met too, ladybirder. I was always having to stick an arm or leg outside to regulate my temperature. If you've just got sheets and blankets, pushing the top one down when you're hot is much the simplest way.

[New Judge]

What's intrigued me is why duvets were ever devised with a small opening along one of the shorter edges into which the bedder is expected to get a 15tog king sized duvet. It's bleeding obvious it will be difficult. Why they were not originally devised with openings along two full edges and preferably three is a mystery,

[Smowball]

Agree. Open like a sandwich, lay duvet in then put ‘lid’ on and do up

[ladybirder]

Haha jno, that's exactly what I do LOL.
