Can Derrick Johnson Really Make Placing Your Duvet in Its Cover Enjoyable?
The answer is, “Yes.” Derrick Johnson, Designer & Home Enthusiast and Creator of The HouseBook Home Journal, came to Oprah’s rescue during the pandemic when he responded to Oprah’s request to the world for the best way to get her duvet into her duvet cover. A friend of down etc, Derrick shared his method with us in an Instagram reel. Since then, we haven’t stopped sharing it with everyone else.
Derrick Johnson’s Simple Steps to Place a Duvet in Its Cover
- Fully lay out your duvet cover on your bed.
- At the opening, flip back the top and make the opening nice and wide.
- Fold your duvet into thirds. Make sure it’s nice and neat.
- Carefully tuck your folded duvet inside the top of the duvet cover opening. Do this on both sides.
- Join the top layer of your duvet with the top layer of the duvet cover with a hand at each corner. Give them a big old shake so that it fills out the duvet cover.
- Simply tuck, snap, or button your duvet cover closed at the bottom. And there you have it.
