I wasn't even aware duvets were still used outside of hotels. You guys don't just have sheets and a regular blanket on your bed? Is it a cultural/regional thing? They seem very annoying to deal with and I've never found them to be particularly comfortable, so I'm surprised so many people here seem to use them.

Most of the people I knew in Australia 10 years ago had duvets. I never even knew what a duvet was until I went to Australia. Moved back to the US and got one. I can only think of one other person I know here who has a duvet

Where I'm from we have holes in the top corners of the cover. Just put your arms in there, grab the duvet and pull it in, shake it a bit, done (additionally you might need to fix the bottom corners and shake again). I was surprised when I went to other countries where you have to fiddle with only a bottom opening.

Fellow Finn here, I'm flabbergasted how the rest of the world hasn't figured this out apart from us in the nordics :D

My preferred technique is to grab a corner, crawl inside the duvet and pin it to the corresponding corner. Then I crawl out and repeat with the opposite corner. From there, I just pull the front two corners over the comforter then button/zip it up then furl it out. I'm not saying this is the best method but it works fine for me. My wife has no techniques that work for her, lol.

I just hold the duvet by the two front corners, shove it inside the cover and find the edges. Hold the edges from the outside of the cover, shake. Takes 30 seconds. We also change it weekly, sleeping in the same covers for a month sounds disgusting.

People often have a flat sheet between them and the duvet that gets washed more frequently.
