Can You Put A Duvet Cover Over A Down Comforter

Putting a duvet cover on your down comforter is much easier with 2 people although it can be done with just one person.

Can you put a duvet cover over a down comforter.

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. In fact it s always better to have a duvet cover and it s also more fun. Here are step by step instructions on how to complete this task. 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.

Duvet covers always have tabs or loops on corners and sometimes even on the sides to secure a cover. Basically take the comforter. So to answer your first question. Some comforters also come with tabs but the majority do not.

Of course you can use a duvet cover even though your comforter does not have anything to attach it to but that is not very convenient. 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. 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. Sure you can put a down comforter inside a duvet cover no problem.

Duvet covers are meant to be washed and will experience fabric shrinkage. And again the cover is inside out. Then take the comforter itself and just spread it out on top of the cover. It most likely contains cotton to be classed as down proof to keep fill inside.

Your comforter will also likely shrink 3 5 when washed. Ok now here s the real trick.
