Really easy, just stick your hands in and pull the duvet out.
Rumor has it thay IKEA stopped selling covers with holes at the top because lots of people came back and said they were broken. And now others are doing the same.
Using duvet covers is very common in Sweden.

Someone should write a book called Household Chores for Hackers: The algorithms your mother took for granted and forgot to teach you .
I taught my mother how to fold a fitted sheet. A girlfriend taught me and I was floored at how elegant it is. Prior to that, they just made me angry and ended up in the closet in a wad.
120 cm wide bed -> 150 cm duvet, 140-160 cm bed -> 240 cm duvet

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.
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.
Yeah I find the rolling method is more work than it’s worth when the “grab the corners and shake vigorously” method works just fine.

WTF!? I heard before that putting a cover on a duvet was a thing, a problem, a mystery... are ppl making this up? is this a joke I don't get invert, tie corners together and what not... my family and everyone i know do it the way @pablobaz describes it. it's simple and effective. change sheets whenever you feel like doing it, because its easy and fast... endof story
Hard agree. Changing a duvet cover is not hard. Maybe we are just getting stupider as a species.
” 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.
In Australia a duvet is called a “doona” and while there are some perverts who use a sheet between person and doona (these are people who don’t like to wash doona covers), fitted-sheet=>sleeper=>doona is the standard
I do this during hot nights - easier to micro-regulate your body temperature with a extra thin layer. Easier to wash is a bonus. Plus they tend to be finer quality.
