Tidying up and changing the bed cover. How on earth are you supposed to get duvet bit inside the cover??? I'm worn out with my feeble attempts. I may have to admit defeat.

Don't change it for about 3 months then it'll start to get uncomfortable.

What's on the cover? A zany pattern, geometric shapes, Thunderbirds, Fimbles, Thomas the tankengine or something else?!

Back and victorious. I'm on a bunkbed with my little brother, well he's 11 and almost as big as me. One cover is orange with ZZzzz on it and the other is blue and white with a puppy and a mouse playing, arrrrrrrr.

Turn the cover inside out, then put your hands inside it until you are holding the two far corners. Then, grab two corners of the duvet and turn the cover back the right way. The duvet is then inside the cover. Dead easy!!! Margaret

I do it the same as Margaret - inside out. Yes, it's dead easy. But then again, I've had years of practice LOL. Jan

The only time I have a asked a male to do that and he ended up trapped inside the cover!

Hey Daniel We are wondering if you have the puppy and mouse playing duvet? John

Dan, look pleadingly at your mum is a good ploy. My son changes his own sheets and pillowcases regularly, so he smiles sweetly at mum for help with the duvet cover, and mum smiles sweetly at dad to do it. And we use Margaret's 'inside out' method!! You can get nice plain blue jersey bedding from Next :)) Mandy :)

Dan Bunkbeds are hard to make - the bottom you hit your head on the bottom of top bunk and then need stilts to make the top bunk. John
