Let's try to thread a blanket in several ways, perhaps among them you will find your best one.

Life hack: a quick way to tuck a blanket into a duvet cover

The simplest and easiest way to achieve what you want is called “roll” or “sausage”. It is truly amazing in its effectiveness:

1. First, you will need to turn the duvet cover inside out and lay it on the bed with the hole facing you.
2. The blanket is then carefully laid out on top of the linen and leveled.
3. The angles must match.
4. The next step is to roll everything together into a tight roller.
5. Pull the cutout of the duvet cover over the resulting cushion and roll it back out.
6. After the blanket is completely unrolled, all that remains is to shake it and carefully make the bed.

Like this, rolling it up:

This simple way to insert a blanket will significantly save time and nerves. The whole procedure, with proper training, will take no more than a minute.. The only thing that can complicate the procedure is the slot is too small or the blanket is too thick and heavy, which is difficult to twist. You can tuck a duvet cover with a side cut in the same way, but due to the width it will be a little more difficult.

Tucking a blanket with a slot

The method described above makes life easier, but nowadays there are a lot of models of bed linen that differ in the location of the cutout for the blanket. How to be in this case? Useful tips also exist for other types of duvet covers.

Important! At the same time, we must not forget that all methods are most effective when the sizes of the blanket and linen match.

It is better to give preference to bed linen made from natural fabrics, which do not absorb so much static electricity. Besides, With an ironed duvet cover, the process will go much faster.

Side

If the hole is on the side, then the sequence of actions is not too complicated:

1. You should start again by turning the duvet cover inside out. You need to insert your hands into the neckline and grab two opposite corners along the length of the underwear - at the head and at the legs.
2. Then you need to take two corners of the blanket through the fabric and carefully begin to turn the duvet cover right side out. The blanket will gradually appear inside.
3. In the end, all that remains is to straighten it, check the position of the corners inside and make the bed.

This will take a little more time and this method is more convenient to implement with two people or a very tall person, since in an upright position, you can properly shake the laundry faster. As a result, the likelihood of lumps forming inside is minimal, and nothing will crawl out of such a duvet cover. In general, this method is similar to tucking a pillow into a pillowcase.

In the middle

Duvet covers with a diamond-shaped cutout in the middle were widespread in the USSR. Nowadays they are much less common, but there are tricks for this case too. To speed up the process, the blanket will be threaded in two stages:

1. First, it must be folded in the form of an accordion, as thick as possible.
2. Then it is placed on top of the linen exactly in the middle.
3. From any convenient side, two corners are threaded into the hole and straightened.
4. Then the same thing is repeated for the corners on the other side.
5. At the end, all that remains is to shake the duvet cover, straighten out the folds and carefully make the bed.

This method can be perfectly used alone and will also significantly save time on changing bed linen.

More ways

Folk wisdom and ingenuity contributed to the emergence of several more methods for threading a blanket into linen. Some of them may be known from childhood, while others will be new. Nevertheless, such know-how also makes it possible to facilitate a process that is not the most pleasant and beloved by everyone.

A book

This option is suitable for duvet covers with diamond or square neckline:

1. The blanket, depending on its size, should be folded in half along the long side or in four. Main, so that the thickness allows it. In this form, it fits much easier and faster into the hole in the bed linen. If you had to fold it twice, then inside you will need to straighten it across the width.
2. Then the two corners are placed in their place, the blanket is straightened and, with the help of shaking, takes its place.

It will be easier to implement this method with two people - this will avoid lumps inside.

Inside out

Method for tucking a blanket Popular among hotel and hotel staff:

1. First you need to turn the duvet cover inside out, and then stick your hands in and grab the two far corners.
2. Then take two corners of the blanket through the fabric and shake it.

Using this method of making a bed requires some preparation, it’s quite difficult to do this alone. But with someone’s help, everything will work out easily and quickly, requiring only smoothing out the folds.

Climb into the duvet cover

A somewhat exotic way suitable for either very large laundry or very small ones. Its authors suggest getting into the duvet cover entirely, and then pulling the blanket with you and straightening it inside. Theoretically, it can be effective, but in reality in this case several factors must coincide. Also there is a high risk of the laundry tearing during the tucking process.

Using clothespins

This method was invented for duvet covers with a side slit:

1. First, you need to roll the blanket along the long side.
2. Then its free corners are straightened inside and fixed using the most ordinary clothespins.
3. After this, the laundry is shaken and the roller inside rolls out on its own.
