I love fresh bed linen but doing the stripping and remaking of the bed is annoying. I have a special dislike for stuffing the doona back into the cover. But I always appreciate it once I’ve done it, and am looking forward to the fresh made bed tonight. Mmm crispy clean bed, good sleep ahead.

I am experimenting with using two flat sheets either side of the doona and folded over at the top instead of using a cover. Seems to be working well.

I wonder if press studs around the bottom and both sides would work. So stuffing would involve laying the sheet flat on the bed, arranging the doona and top sheet, then joining up the press studs. Or velcro patches maybe. I might try this as I hate stuffing doona covers too.

My mother used to do this so she didn't have to wash doona covers and being a restless sleeper it drove me crazy! I'd wake up during the night with sheets askew and uncomfortable.

Oh, yes. It’s a thing, right?

Mmm, fresh sheets…

I’m halfway through changing my bed, I took a phone break because it’s such a tedious task. Doona stuffing is definitely the worst part. But crispy bed feeling is so good.

Do you know the inside out doona cover method? Or do you just stuff it in there and wiggle it around until the corners match?

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 3 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

This is the only way it's doable imo

Edit: the inside our method that is :)

I just grab a corner of doona and reach into the cover. Then shiny he cover down, and then grab the top 2 corners holding the cover and doona, shake it out, then same from the bottom end and then the buttons. I’ve tried different methods but they all seem about the same amount of stuffing around to get it evenly contained in the cover.

I lay the doona out making sure I can access two of the end corners. I turn the doona cover inside out (if it isn't already) and reach my arms right in until I've got an end corner in each hand from the inside. Then I grab each end corner of the doona with each hand and kind of pull and shake as the doona cover unfolds itself onto the doona, putting itself right side out in the process.
