Re: Roll-Invert-Unroll: An easier way to replace a duvet cover
#72I 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.
Haha amazing, I’ve now just discovered that some places don’t use duvets. I thought (naively) that it was worldwide…
Exactly, living in Europe, I've literally encountered the sheet+blanket combination for the first time a week ago, in a hotel. Duvets with covers ARE the norm.

#73Related question: what method do you use to keep the duvet in place inside the cover? I have some animal themed safety pins that my parents used on my duvet since I was a child. I put four of them in a square shape around the middle of the cover when the duvet is inside.
My duvet covers have ties you can use against any duvet.
My parents used to use safety pins.

#75Kinda off topic but what is the name of the background on this blog? i.e. those patterns do they have a name? My mom used to have the same patterns on some sheets as a kid but no clue what they're called?

#76Next 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.
I also learned it from my grandparents, but I've been the one introducing it to a number of people in my life. Some of them have described it as black magic — so it's not very well-known.

#77If 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.
Nope. Duvet changes every couple of months perhaps. Sleep straight under the duvet. Thought this was normal. Never heard of a sheet under the duvet
Then it is like changing your shirt every two months? You do sweat when sleeping.

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.
I learned about it from the Superdry brand which is a Japanese brand.

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.
As a kid we didn't have duvets. It was all sheets and blankets. Duvets were a bit new-fangled so it's not surprising the knowledge wasn't passed down.
