Putting on a Duvet Cover

I have not tried it but will do next time I strip the bedding.

Looks easier than holding it over the bannister and shaking the heck out of it.

The last time I did the boat one, I actually went into the cover, head and shoulders as well...

Thanks for sharing.

[Hylander]

Well I have not tried it myself and I am not known for my patience so we will see.  If it works it will be a lot easier.     Well may be not a lot easier because if your bed is anything like ours on the boat , we cannot walk around it as in the demonstration but will give it a go.  Try anything once.

We use the same method, using safety pins to secure it to the duvet, unless of course your duvet cover has tying loops like the one shown in the video. Simple's!

Not all Duvet covers have zips either, some have buttons or press stud fastenings.

I use the same method.........

 

 

Let two women do it.... (Mrs DG and daughter)

The problem with me is it is only me, myself and I who change the bedding  . On the boat we have two single berths, but at home we a king size bedding and I must admit I have no problem  (its being a women     , sorry guys  ).

Now if someone could come up with a better way of getting the mattress protector onto the mattress on the aft berth without rebuilding the bedroom they would be on a winner

After I lost my wife I was on my own for three years until I met Wendy. I managed quite easily to change the duvet cover on my own every week, as well as washing and ironing, cooking and house keeping chores, so it is just not a woman thing.  Sorry ladies.

Having been in the Royal Navy for 16 years, gave me enough domestic training to look after ones self. Nobody but me to do my washing or ironing.

Now I just take it easy and let Wendy do it all!

Alan I reckon 99% of boaters would agree with your request about the mattress cover.      Hubby usually makes the bed on the boat and you should hear him cuss and swear while doing so and it is best to avoid that area of the boat until the task it complete.      It is not so bad if you can get around the bed but we have not got that luxury.

[ranworthbreeze]

Oh the luxury of having an island bed on boat rather than a mattress that is next to the walls on almost three sides.

 

The problem with most boats you trade off one thing for another. I am still waiting to find that perfect boat out there. Maybe one day, I guess we will have to just have to slum it till then.

If being on RB is slumming it Alan, when is the Bling Broom being purchased to be unslummed?

Seriously, we take or own matress elasticated covers singles and doubles, you can buy very cheaply in Asda or similar. Take the base off, slip the covers on. Job done.

Hello Geoff, that is great news that you can look after yourself, because my husband finds it hard to change the bedding and I / we have brought a new hover (dyson) and he is finding it hard to use the tools for the stairs. Ian is good at cooking (he's a chef)

Both me and Kathy don't have any problem with duvaes at home as our eldest daughter pops round and does them she's like lightning with them but at the boat well its the best of three falls and a touchdown to get them on an the bottom sheet I daren't go there.

Unfortunately Lorna is a nurse , so it could be a double dose of trouble

There is hope though as her son is a paramedic

Well as someone who professes to practice what she preaches this morning I thought here goes I will try this method on the 5 foot bed with a 14 tog duvet on it , single handed.

 

Took me three goes.

 

Firstly I had the cover on top of the duvet - wrong.   Unrolled the thing.

Secondly I did it all as she describes with the opening at the foot of the bed - wrong.   The opening should be at the Head board end.  Unrolled the thing.

Thirdly - tried it all again and Bingo - no need to go to the gym (I must have gone round the bed 10 times) it worked.

 

I think the jury is out here.   I am like many others , duvet cover in side out, put all ends together and bring over duvet and shake down and do up at the bottom.

 

Finally absolutely no neede for safety pins.   Whatever next.

[BroadScot]

Well done Monica  The tried and trusted way is usually always best!

The roll method works, but the openings on my duvet covers are fairly narrow, so there is still a bit of wrestling. No need for safety pins though.
