Best decision I ever made was to skip the duvets and buy a polar fleece blanket for $30. Not to hot, not to cold, machine washable and $30.

#33Not only am I going to try this, I think it’s a YouTube sensation in the making
right up there with japanese shirt folding: https://youtu.be/b5AWQ5aBjgE
Interesting that this is referred to as Japanese shirt folding. This is how I learned to do it decades ago, and there was no Japanese attribution at the time. I wonder if it is claimed (by whom?) to have been invented in Japan, or if it's just because the video is in Japanese.

#34” Imagine replacing your duvet cover in minutes” When i was 18 and begun my career I hospitality, we’d change a twin bed completely in like 3-4 minutes. How do you spend minutes with just one duvet (excluding disabilities but that’s quite obvious). Also, this is why Swedish duvet covers have holes in the upper corners, just reach through them and grab the liner and pull it in, shake a bit, and you’re done.
>How do you spend minutes with just one duvet Ours is supremely irritating because the duvet gets folded over or bunched up inside the cover and shaking it does not fix this. So I have to get bodily into the fucking cover and stick each corner in place. It's infuriating and I hate duvets for this reason.
I once zipped my girlfriend up inside a cover while she was doing this, it was quite funny.

What other way is there? This is how I learned it from my mom and have done it ever since. Edit: I guess there's this rolling method, which seems a lot more convoluted based on the videos.
IME lots of people just try stuff the duvet in and then shake it to get it in the right place.
That is fascinating. Just asked my wife, who's from another continent, she's as flabbergasted as me.

#36My preferred technique is to also start with the cover inside out. Then put your hands inside the cyber into its corners. Then grasp two corners of the duvet through the fabric. A bit of shaking to turn the cover the right way out and you are done.
Yeah, I don't think there's a need for the roll. You just need to make sure you can hold it high enough in the air to shake the thing without letting the bottom rest on the floor. I just think of it like a really big pillow case. I put the pillow case on inside out so I do the same for the duvet cover. I don't remember where I picked this up either, but I do remember it caused an ex girlfriend to get irrationally ang…
I think it could be useful for shorter people who can't hold it up high enough. I just hold it up and shake it, though.

#38Next up: he learns how to slice bread.
But seriously, why is this news worthy? My grandmother showed me how to do this way before this guy was even born.

#39If you’re only changing your duvet cover once a month (or less) you’re sleeping under a sheet under the duvet, right?
We don’t do sheets and are in the change once a week camp.
