Can You Put A Duvet Cover Over A Down Comforter

Here are step by step instructions on how to complete this task.

Can you put a duvet cover over a down comforter.

And again the cover is inside out. Duvet covers are meant to be washed and will experience fabric shrinkage. It most likely contains cotton to be classed as down proof to keep fill inside. Sure it will work you just have to watch that you pick a duvet cover that is not so light in color and fabric that the design shows through from the inner comforter.

To get the comforter inside the duvet cover simply open up the duvet cover and turn the whole thing inside out. So even if your duvet cover measures the same as your comforter it will likely shrink 3 5 and fit more snugly over your comforter. So to answer your first question. In fact it s always better to have a duvet cover and it s also more fun.

Ok now here s the real trick. Putting a duvet cover on your down comforter is much easier with 2 people although it can be done with just one person. Duvet covers always have tabs or loops on corners and sometimes even on the sides to secure a cover. Basically take the comforter.

Some comforters also come with tabs but the majority do not. Your comforter will also likely shrink 3 5 when washed. Start by taking a duvet cover and turning it inside out and lay it out on the bed with the open end down near the foot of the bed. Start at the top of the top end and just roll it over all the way down.

I had a down comforter with huge bright blue and yellow daisies on it and you could see them slightly through one of my cheaper pastel floral cotton duvet covers. Then take the comforter itself and just spread it out on top of the cover.
