How to Put on a Duvet Cover: The California Roll Way

Shop this duvet cover set:

Step 1: Take your duvet cover from the dryer and turn it inside out. Lay the duvet cover out on top of your bed. The opening of the duvet cover should be facing away from where you stand.

Step 2: Take your comforter (or duvet) and place it on top of the duvet cover.

Step 3: Ensure all corners and edges are aligned neatly. The more aligned they are to one another, the better the end result. If your duvet cover comes with corner ties, tie all interior corner ties of the duvet cover to the loops on the comforter.

Step 4: Once aligned, stand opposite of the opening of the duvet cover and begin to roll the comforter and duvet cover. Adjust the edges as you roll, making sure they are rolled together.

Step 5: After everything is completely rolled up, grab hold of one end of the roll. Using the enclosure of the duvet cover, stuff the comforter roll inside. Continue the motion across the entire roll.

Step 6: Zip up the duvet cover. Position the California Roll on the bed so that the zipper enclosure is aligned with the bottom of the bed.

Step 7: Start unrolling. The unrolling motion should be a mixture of unrolling and pulling apart the duvet cover from the roll.

Step 8: Give the duvet cover a few shakes and that’s it!

I usually just climb inside the duvet cover and cry.

I got to the unroll part and was like "great now it's all tangled" but I kept at it and it WORKED! Real good method 10/10 only cried for a minute

I cannot explain why this works. My faith in observational science is shattered. My world has changed. MAGIC HAPPENS~ :)

Sure, she is smiling lol! I am currently wrapped in my duvet weeping

I was totally skeptic! I rolled, buttoned my end, and was like this doesn't make sense! Unroll, unroll...this is totally working! Brilliant!

[emmazelles]

Oml I didn't believe this would work! When I got to the final step of unrolling I was about to be pissed that I had done all that just to have to re-stuff it, but it actually worked super well!! My one warning would be to make sure the corners are matched perfectly otherwise there is a small issue.

POV: you’re here because you washed your cover and have to watch this video again even though you’ve seen it ten times in the past two years

[kellsgreenidge]

I had no idea of how to get the comforter in without breaking a swear! This video is a perfect how to! I completed the task so quickly! Thanks for sharing!

[pippamason]

This is bloody easy! I've wrestled with duvet covers for years. I just wish I came across this like ten years ago :) THANK YOU

[PlzCamDown]

I tried this exactly how it says and now everything is on fire.

[mmelaniechevalier]

Used this method the other day, had hubby help. He was arguing the entire time that there was NO WAY this would work. When we were done he started accusing me of witchcraft!

I wrk in housekeeping, here i am, on my day off watching how to make my job a little easier😆 thank you!!

[tomwallen]

I tried this method and my duvet cover actually ate itself and now I am only left with a small round stone of infinite mass and density.

[KeepingWatch-xryr]

Genius! So thankful for this video! Had no clue how to put on a duvet cover. I watch it every time I wash my duvet cover. One of these times I’ll remember without having to watch. Lol!

[jacksonhawk]

I watched this video 5 times, and thought it made absolutely no sense, then I tried it and it actually worked! I still can't figure out why it works, but it does. Whoever came up with this method is a genius.

[themcrefuge]

This video still holds up! No more sleeping with the cover laying on top for a week anymore!

[lindalettieri]

Works just as shown! Watched it twice and had the most success I've ever had, without pulling any back muscles! Thanks!

[lookyhur]

Was STRUGGLING with a super heavy California King-size flannel comforter and heavy velvet duvet for about 45 minutes! This video could've saved me (and my tired, injured shoulder) 35 of those minutes had i thought to look up help on YouTube sooner! Perfection. Thank you!!

[carynevemurray]

Really amazing, I swear. This looked like something impossible and I confess the hardest part for me was TURNING THE DUVET COVER INSIDE-OUT, so I believed there was no hope for me whatsoever to get this thing right. Guess what? It worked beautifully. Thanks for a really awesome video. My new duvet cover is happily installed and it didn't take all that long once I knew what I was doing.

[wendycoombs]

Astonishing. Just tried this and somehow I'm feeling an overwhelming sense of satisfaction on completion. This is the best housekeeping tip I've ever seen.
