7 Easy Steps to Put a Duvet Insert into a Duvet Cover

I have been slowly working on refreshing our master bedroom since November. Part of the refresh was purchasing new bed linens. I traded out our dry clean only duvet cover for a washable duvet and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. It’s so nice to be able to throw it in the washing machine instead of having to haul it to the dry cleaner. Not only was it time consuming, but expensive.

I’ve been washing our new duvet cover frequently ever since flu season and COVID ramped up. I always dreaded getting the insert into the cover, but I’ve figured out a quick and painless way to get the insert into the cover.

1. Clear a large, clean space on the floor where you can lay out your duvet insert flat on the floor.

2. Turn your duvet cover inside out with the ties facing outward.

3. Lay the duvet cover on top of the duvet insert.

4. Match the ties on the cover to the insert and tie them.

5. Put your arm inside of the duvet cover and grab one of the top tied corners to begin to turn the cover right-side out. I found it was easiest to bunch up the duvet over my arm. Once one corner is partially turned right-side out, do the same to the other top corner.

6. Shake the duvet out and flip the bottom corners right-side out.

7. Button the buttons along the bottom of your duvet cover.

There you have it! This method is really simple, and I can do it easily without help. I’m hoping to finish updating our master bedroom soon. Next I will be working on the flooring, paint, and curtains. I’m looking forward to sharing the final product with you!
