Let's be honest: it's really painful to have to resort to a duvet insert as a pillow. Being one of the household tasks most tedious, making your bed tops the list. Fortunately, there are some tricks to slip your insert into its duvet cover effortlessly.
Here are three time-saving strategies popularized on YouTube that won't fail to be useful to you.
The Clip Technique
How to put a duvet insert in under a minute? Nothing is simpler than Benjamin Rimajou's method. This French prodigy is the brain behind the company Hopoli, and he had the idea to manufacture an object equipped with a pin that sticks to your door handles so you can thread your insert onto it.
This new system eliminates the need for a second worker to perform the same function. Good news is you can also use this technique to fold clothes. This method involves traditionally threading the duvet. The four corners of the cover and the hoop must be aligned, but we will use tailor's pins to avoid flying apart.
To do this, just position two or three clamps on the outer edges of the closed part of the cover, then shake frantically to make sure the duvet is well positioned. This method should take you about three minutes in total.
The Folding Technique
This approach does not have the humor of the tortilla but is just as effective. So what exactly does it entail? Place the insert on your bed, then fold it in half lengthwise so that the open end is facing you.
Continue the same way with the cover. Once you have done that, drop it into the opening and align the corners with the cover. As with any other method, you must seal everything so the seam can rest flat in the hoop.

In Other Words, the "Burrito" Method
Making burritos is the method of cooking most popular in the modern world. It works quickly and efficiently, and you do not need a team to handle the tangle. To begin, please turn the insert inside out. Lay it flat on the floor or on the bed.
Place the C-shaped cover over your head, aligning the edges as best as you can. Then start rolling the duvet and the cover towards the center so the finished product resembles a burrito. After that, simply place the burrito in the hula hoop opening and unroll it.
The cover has been carefully inserted into the hoop. It went viral on the internet because wrapping your insert in a tortilla is apparently a piece of cake. In the first step, the insert is placed upside down on the bed, with buttons facing down.
The next step is to place the cover on top, ensuring corners are aligned, then rotate it from top to bottom. Once at the bottom, put our roll back in the cover and unroll it. This method was also tried on a show. The video is included below for your great pleasure.
Using the Clever Approach to Simplify Your Life
This method can be replicated by folding the cover into thirds; it is effective for cover lids with bottle openings. The top and bottom of the cover can be folded back to the center to achieve this. The four corners must be rounded towards the middle (twice to the right, twice to the left, and once fully).
Folded this way, the cover is set aside while the cover casing is opened and its opening prepared. After sliding the cover seam into the hoop, the side panels are folded inward. After that, we cut the corner of one of the triangles, making the other angle 90 degrees.
The next step is to go back up to the duvet dome looking for one of the top corners of the cover. One hand spirals out of the corner looking for a triangle to thread. The other corner is treated the same, then everything is stitched by pinning the two angles formed together with the cover.
After that, all that remains is to press the bottom corners of the cutter into the cover.
