Step 1: Prepare the Duvet Cover
Before you begin, make sure the duvet cover is turned inside out and laid flat on the bed with the opening at the foot of the bed. Locate the ties on the inside corners of the cover and tie them together in a knot. This will help keep the comforter in place.
Step 2: Insert the Comforter
Take your comforter and insert it into the duvet cover. Start at the head of the bed and work your way down to the foot, making sure the corners of the comforter are aligned with the corners of the duvet cover.
Step 3: Secure the Ties
Once the comforter is inside the cover, tie the remaining ties located on the inside of the cover to the corresponding corners of the comforter. This will keep the comforter from shifting and bunching up inside the cover.
Step 4: Shake It Out
After the cover is secured, give it a good shake to distribute the comforter evenly inside. This will help to eliminate any lumps or bumps that may have formed during the process.
Step 5: Smooth It Out
Once you have shaken the duvet cover, smooth it out with your hands. Pull the corners of the cover down to the corners of the mattress and adjust the sides until the cover is straight and even.
FAQs

It depends on the material. Be sure to check the care label on your duvet cover to see if it can be dried in the dryer. If not, hang it up to dry or lay it flat to prevent any shrinking or damage.

It is recommended that you wash your duvet cover every two to four weeks, depending on how often you use it. This will help keep it clean and fresh.
