- Avoid the struggle of stuffing a quilt into a quilt cover with this tried and tested 'California Roll' technique. Inspired by the art of making sushi, this #lifehack will revolutionise the way you change your sheets.
Literally it's more difficult this way than the old way
Exactly too.
Exactly
I think so too. Seems to take longer.
@@adrianbrown1492 the title says: effortless. I think it's supposed to have less lifting, shaking and other physically demanding actions rather than easy or fast.
I still can't figure out the corner folding part as it just doesn't match up 🤔
I am going back to my old way of climbing inside the cover to get the top corners in & crawl out backwards!
Duvet/quilt covers really ought to come with a zip which runs around 3 sides. Open it up flat on the bed, place duvet on top, zip up, job done. Has no-one patented this yet?!
Good idea!
Someone did... it was on shark tank. I think last season
Either it will destroy the washing machine or get ripped during the cycle or both...
@@uVxxdCnt ... In which case we'd never put any item with a zip in the washing machine! Besides, there are drawstring mesh bags of various sizes which can hold such items.
Write to QVC. Please 🙏.
This is why after 50 years of having a duvet I now have a sheet and a comforter. I can regulate the heat better and just wash the sheet more often than the comforter
I think you may have a good point!!! I also think that Germans/Austrians are wise, wise people...in their hotels they have 2 single duvets on a double bed...no fighting, being left without, or discomfort because one suffers the heat/cold more than the other.
@@JF-kv1gm genius!!!!
I’m thinking of going back to sheets. More hygienic 😉
The easiest way I found is to get my partner to do it ! 😂😂😂
Lol so true 🤣🤣
Or not wash them at all
Yup..me too. Hubby does a good job AND can shake the whole duvet till it's even 😁
@@monicas2269 Us men do things like that on purpose so we never get asked again! I've broken a sacred law here, please don't tell your friends. We can also sort washing and know how to use the machine,, but are honestly too busy doing Manly things!
Exactly.i do too....y bother doing this demo when partners are.around? Gives them something to do.
I use to always ask my mum to help me put on my quilt.
Even when I moved out and had my place...
Even when I moved out and had my own place and with a woman living with me..
You know why?
We use to have such a laugh doing it..
Don't ask me why? But use have some good talks and some amazing laughs.
Yeah I miss my mum.
Got to don't on my own now.. Not same but I still smile and laugh.
Aw Peter your mum sounds like a lovely lady. And I bet anything she’s thrilled you can smile and laugh still. Life is for the living ☺️
"The effortless way to conceal a body"
I thought exactly the same 😂
Haha!
🤣🤣
My evil thoughts too. Lol 😆
Amazing what you can learn online but I’m confused as it wasn’t clear. What happened to the body? Where did it go?
Well it works and extremely well with a King Sized Duvet cover, I am amazed that I can manage it on my own now. OK having these large beds but changing the bedding is another story. You have made a 76 year olds life a whole lot easier. Thank you from the UK.
I have a super king quilt and I have never been able to change my quilt cover by myself till I watched and followed this video. Thank you for making this video.
how effortless is it, Emma. A life saver haha. :)
Nah this isn’t the easiest way. The easiest is to turn the cover inside out, go in with your hands to find the furthest corners, then grab the corners of the quilt, shake it out. Sorted.
Yep, done it that way for years. This way too complicated.
@@rob5197 Most people aren't chambermaids.
That's the way I do it the one in the vid probably took 15 minutes
Yes I do mine this way too.....👍
That's what normally do but hey each to there own i suppose
I was so hoping it was going to turn into an origami swan 🤣
And a bloomin' massive one at that😂
Thank you everyone! I have had a good laugh reading everyone's comments. Who would have thought watching someone putting a duvet cover on would generate so much entertainment. Great!
Totally agree with you! The comments are so funny. I’m picturing the starfish approach.
Oh
How this is effortless is beyond me!
This isn’t the easiest way. Turning it inside out and finding the corners is way easier, but the method in the clip is easier on the body so for injured, disabled or elderly people it’s a good go to. 👍
I thought the same thing. It's a slower process but would be easier on the body for those with mobility problems.
This is why I came here.
I wanted to find an easy method that would work for me.
Tbh, both methods look equally tricky 😕
When I first saw this recommendation, I thought it looked like "How to hide a body in your bedroom".
Me too! 🤣
She makes it look easy, but bloody hell, there is no way I'd be able to do that, so deffo not the easiest, I'd say most complicated lol.
I’ve done it alone like she has many times. Beats doing it the old way alone.
Well I don’t really know what everyone is meaning by the Old Way …but hers looks lengthy and complicated to me ….SO I’ll do it the way I’ve been doing it for 40 years. Old or not . 😀. It’ll take half her time
yes..this is stress thing to do when u have 1 side zipped quilt cover ;)
This is a great help for people with a bad back that can’t just shake it into place. Thanx heaps for taking the time to share this. It’s made my life just a tad easier than before I watched this. And sometimes a tad can make all the difference :) xx
I've got a bad back I could never do all that standing and moving lol u must be a friend lol
I have arthritic hands, and I am going to try this method because I, too, find shaking the duvet even a real challenge. Encouraging to see that it has helped you.
First thing you do is put the cat in another room. He'll be inside the cover in a nano second running around like a fruitloop.
Yes my cat likes to help with the bedmaking.
Mine too lol
You assume everyone has a cat.
@@skankhunt-nx3kt You assume their comment applies to people without a cat.
@@programmer5855 like it.
Its more fun to climb inside it, then stand up. Get your quilt in a disorganized heap at your feet, find two corners, put one in each hand, then assume the star jump posture. Grab the quilt cover at the corners whilst still holding the corners of the quilt then exit the quilt and shake out.
lol ive been doing that my whole life, takes a few hours but totally worth it
i dont understand how this didnt work for people, it worked like a charm
Her: "Effortless way"
Me after 2 hours: "Throws Cover out window"........ "Hits neighbor, mowing his lawn"
LMAO
I'm laughing too hard at this.
Attempted 5 times ended up doing it the way I have for years 😂
Same here, all I ended up with was an inside out duvet, lol
I must try this technique. I've always pegged both top ends of the duvet once in , before pulling the rest down .
Same here
@@tinaforbes1059 That’s a good idea might try that
After getting the doona fixed into the top corners I use 3 clothes pegs to hold that position, then lift and shake a couple of times. For me, that seems to be the easiest way. Clothes peg method!
Same here, except I use bulldog clips.......
I love how over a million people had to search how to do this.
Me included
I almost kill myself when doing my duvet cover get out of breath, lost in the duvet covers need a oxygen mask lol
it'd be mostly singel men/straight men
@@jonathanlehmann8719 so there's a connection between sexual orientation and doing household chores?
I am a girl
I don’t know how to do it
Including me too 🤭😂
Good grief! I do this in less than a quarter of the time. Turn quilt cover inside out. Put your hands inside, right to the top corners. Grab the quilt's top corners. Flip quilt cover over quilt. Done! Then close (buttons, zip, press studs, whatever).
Thanks i will pass that on to my skivvy i mean wife.
Yes, but then you have to give it a really good shake to get the edges to the right place and the odd bumps/lumpy parts smooth. I have bad arthritis in my hands and the method shown here could be much easier for me!
@@Bethi4WFH I have arthritis in my hands and wrists and I do a superking in a matter of minutes and that's putting it back on the bed and any other frills and cushions.
wow you are awesome
Yes I do like that too
Had no idea how it was supposed to work or function, I tend to want to know those things firstly but trusted you blindly and WOOOOOWW on the first try perfect! Love you
Me being an idiot of a man: just chuck it in, button it up and live with the discomfort.
That sounds about right to me buddy
@@mickquinlan3400 Hey pal, he's not your buddy
@@FahadAyaz hey pal fuck off
Ive never laughed so hard at yt comment before
Or just leave it off altogether!
Thank you, Lorraine Lea, for showing me the easier way of filling a super king duvet. Your method, the non burrito, worked for me. Superb for I will no longer dread changing the duvet cover.
I have not slept for 5 days...
Still doing it!
😂😂😂
@0:40 I swear, every video I watch on this really abbreviates this step, and it's probably the trickiest part.
That's looks like more hassle than doing it the normal way.... either way, I will be still stomping round the bedroom in a rage....
🤣🤣
I'm more curious to know how CZcams knew I would be changing my bedding tonight????
@@mattiemclean9882 me too - this AI is getting freaky!! LOL ;)
@@mattiemclean9882 I was thinking about it 🤪🤨🤔
Thank you so much for helping me and my daughter learn how to put on a quilt cover very easily I appreciate it
Couldn’t be bothered doing it this way , I might try it JUST THE ONCE to see if I can do it . And then back to my old way what I’ve been doing for years.
Been a year, did you try it
It's been 5 years. Have you tried yet?
Thank you. Had to watch the “turn”after rolling it down about four times (and once in slo-mo) but my husband and I were finally successful! My husband’s comment was “her bed is smaller than ours”. Oh those elderly and their king-size beds.
Tried this,this morning and it works. So easy. I was so uneasy doing this every week. My bed was so lumpy. Not today! It looks really professionally done! 😘
Professionally done 😂😂😂
me too!!! less lumps omg!!!!
This makes putting on our Super King quilt much easier. Thanks for the tip!
Thank you!!
Well, it's one way I suppose. I just push the top corner of the cover inside out to the top corner of the quilt, grab everything and pull. Takes about 5 seconds...which to be honest, is the way I thought everyone does it.
I tried that, ended up with a different coloured cover.
🤣🤣
😂😂 brilliant
😁
Lol!!!!
Thank you for this hack...did it watching the video parallel...worked like a charm..no more taking hubby's help to put these on
Wow I love it. I really need to try this. Thank you x
I missed the bit where she taps it with a wand....”quiltium reversio!”
Thank you, this task always stresses me out but no more! Hooray!
OMG! so even though I followed along and did it slightly messily, it turned out to be on there perfectly with less lumps and screwed up bits that I usually have to fix! I'm going to keep practising this method until I master it quickly!! Thank-you! Love it! 🇦🇺❤
Seriously, she should be on America's Got Talent. Her trick is brilliant🤣🤣🤣
Aside from the editing to speed this up, this was more hassle than the old fashioned way most of us do it. What’s next.....10 easier ways to put food in your mouth with a fork??
real time or it didn't happen.
I was just going to say the same thing. this video is frustrating! good comment 👍🏼
🤣🤣🤣 careful you don’t get called a hater!😀
Brill 👍🏻
🤣🤣🤣
I can't do it. I get to the end and fold, nothing there. I'm having to lay down in a dark room now. Without my duvet 😵
That'll teach you...
😁😁
Thanks Lorraine - we had great fun trying it and it works a treat.
One of the most useful videos on youtube. God bless this women :)
I did this, & haven’t seen my cat in days.
The easiest way to put on a duvet cover is to get somebody else to do it.
This is legit! Haha able to pull it off on my first try!! Thanks!!
Love it . This is neat and so effortless
Until someone markets a quilt cover with TWO open sides there will never be an easy, or an effortless, way to put one on...
I have one with four open sides. Its called a blanket 😀
Two open sides, that’s genius. I want one.
@@alan461 me too!!!
I've bought one like this before, but they can't have sold as I haven't seen one in ages.
It was helpful..I covered my quilt in just 2 minutes
Wow
I've tried other ways many times and I find this the easiest and neatest way. Thank you
this way is 10 times easier than when i do it, takes me 30 minutes and back ache as well, thank you Lorraine
I think it’s everyone’s question in life. Thank you for answering 😘
A long time ago, I visited a family in Austria on a school exchange. Their duvet covers were a two-part affair, with a large diamond, circle or square section of the top separate from the underside. The cover was laid out on the bed, the duvet placed on top, the corners then tucked in, and the other part of the cover poppered in place. They are easy, neat and decorative (the insert can be a different pattern or colour). I've been looking for them in the UK (and elsewhere) ever since; I can't understand why no-one is selling them. Mind you, I've not seen them anywhere else I've stayed. Maybe they were home made. Or maybe they are an Austrian secret!
Damn!! That was awesome!!!
This works. Thank you for sharing this. It is a life saver for people with health problems
This is revolutionary, my gf told me to change the bed and she was amazed that i thought of this teknic myself 😂😂😂
Teknic 🤦♂️
@@bayly1977 🤡
And now you have a job for life!
All smoke and mirrors to me ,Just climb inside with the duvet is my way ! 😃
Lol! That's more or less how I do it. One of these days I'm going to button it up before I get out and get trapped. :D
I tried the corners method mentioned in many comments, and it just isn’t a good solution for me.
Before watching this video, I resorted to climbing in the darn thing to make sure the corners lined up well. I’m sure it would be amusing if anyone watched. I’m going to give this a go, thanks for sharing.
I may be a little late but the key is to fold ends in to turn it inside out. After watching countless videos, your method made it so much easier. Thank you so much!
period,ahhh
@@axaiqii1702 period uhhhh
At 49seconds I wanted to stick pins in my eyes , I will stick to struggling it's easier !!
Love this solution and my comforter/duvet whatever you call it looks so nice...for a while...till my kitty-cat throws up grass or something like that, right smack in the middle of the bed, like tonight.😊 Cats are like toddlers.
So cool...have to try this!!
This is genius, with feathers its easy to take the corners but heavier quilts are really difficult to cover, thanks for this tip , be blessed.
This is ridiculous, it should be titled "The hardest way to put on a quilt cover"
Not only was this helpful but that bed looks hella fine ngl
Thank you for your wonderful suggestion and I will try it out.
Nice, Thanks for the help!
1) Grab a corner of the quilt and shove it into the furthest corner of the cover, then hold them together with a Foldback Clip so it doesn’t move. 2) Do the same to the other furthest corner. 3) Stuff the whole quilt into the cover, making sure it hasn’t twisted. 4) Line up the 2 closest corners, making sure you hold the quilt inside when you hold the corners. 5) Do an up then down fanning motion to spread out the quilt. 6) Remove both Foldback Clips, and it’s finished.
That`s the way I`ve always done it. A bit lumpy sometimes but a good shake and it`s usually bearable.
My problem is that I can't do the shaking bit, so I don't bother
The thumbnail made me think it was going to say, "easiest way to hide a body using a duvet."
More larks with duvets: czcams.com/video/29xau6l1lcY/video.html
That's utterly brilliant!
As a bachelor, this video has saved me a heck of a lot of cursing... Thank you!
Thumbnail looked more like “Effortless way to dispose of a body”.
Jeez woman, by the time you get all those damn cushions off the bed so you can get INTO the bed, it'd be time to get up again😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Thank you very much. Looks so easy.
All those people praising the “grab the corners” method, which I had done for years, don’t seem to understand the shaking and pulling about required for that can be hard for some people. I am finding it harder and am grateful for being shown less strenuous methods. If you have no problem then fine but don’t get all sneery about things that may help others. If you can do a four minute mile great but don’t sneer at those who do it in 10!
omd did it perfectly first time , honestly i thought this was a load of crap but obviously not !!!!
javeria hussain I agree. I just tried it today and it worked with my heavy down comforter.
I’m so short so this works for me I’m so small i get lost in the duvet covers the regular way
same 💀
I have lots of bed changes, and a bad back, and I find this method works for me. I’ve been doing it for years. It’s easy for me to do this on my own with no stretching or straining. A bit tricky at first but after a few times it’s simple.
My wife now gets me to dive inside the cover with the quilt to match the corners together before shaking it into place. But before this, my wife (a tiny lady) used to do it this way, and while she was lying inside the cover (and on the bed), lost and fighting to get out - I quickly buttoned her up inside it!! I had a great time pissing myself laughing while hearing her muffled screams as she kicked about!! 🤣👍
That definitely isn’t the easiest way to put on a duvet cover.
seriously now I believe in god
Lol
Thankyou so much this was very helpful 😄
Wow, superb idea, thanks
I'm a 53 year old bloke and here is how I do it: Lay the cover down, push the duvet up into it until the two top corners meet then roll the rest of the cover down. That's it! No turning things inside out, no shaking stuff around the room and no bedroom Origami like in this video. Now I'm off for a beer and watch some football while you lot iron my shirts....;)
This didn’t work for me I still ended up having to crawl through my quilt cover to fix the corners 😑
The same thing happened to me. Then I found this method and it takes only 5 seconds czcams.com/video/kPhEDNc8_mE/video.html
Wow this is great just changing my bedding now and wondering whats an easy way to do this. Thanks a bunch
Very helpful. Thank you.
Okay so I am a wee teen and my mother is asleep and I washed my sheets today and I was panicking because I’ve always needed help.
Today I feel like god himself.
..and this is supposed to be fast?
Most definitely this is a lot faster I used to crawl inside of the duvet just put it on.
This is a life saver thanks and Unlike other people you get straight to it
Excellent; may change lives forever! 😉
Easier still, don’t bother with a quilt cover.
Do you use a top sheet and a bedspread to put over the top of the doona instead? If the doona has a cotton cover I could do that but I'd need at least two doonas and they'd have to be machine washable so one would be in the wash and the other on the bed. Otherwise, it would get quite grubby.
LMAO yes
takes at least twice the time, just do it the ordinary way.
But if you have ties to match up inside, this way is so much easier. I have ties to tie the two together and when doing it this way, you can see where the ties are and match them up.
Some suggest there are even easier ways, but as an elderly bloke who has wrestled many a duvet cover over the years
sometimes incurring 'frustration' ..... and muscle damage, it's a new and most appealing way for me!
Excellent! I will have a go at that. Thank you…
