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




I've only ever known cramming it inside and then crawling inside with it to try and get the duvet into place.

I grew up in a family that had (home made!) blankets and quilts, duvets were not a thing until I moved out on my own.


Hard agree. Changing a duvet cover is not hard. Maybe we are just getting stupider as a species.


In terms of cultural knowledge, it does seem like certain things were taken for granted by previous generations and not handed down in ways that younger generations can manage.


You are simply ignorant of how large duvets can get (taller than 99th percentile).


Maybe that is part of my ignorance. I am quite tall, probably in the 97%


King size duvet is 245x210 cm and weights few kilos. No way you can manhandle this.
