My 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.
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.
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.
I find them annoying in hotels though, where the rooms are usually pretty warm. They use relatively thin inners but they're still usually way too hot for the conditions.
Kinda 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?

I think it's regional. Growing up in the western USA, I never saw a duvet with a removable cover. Living in Japan/Korea, I've never seen people use the sheets+blanket arrangement in the home. BTW, I first heard the word "duvet" as a teenager watching British comedy on PBS. I had to look it up in the dictionary.

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.

IME lots of people just try stuff the duvet in and then shake it to get it in the right place.

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.
