I sometimes want to jump up and down and scream, Daniel!! However, I grit my teeth, then put one corner in one corner of the duvet cover and, if I remember, put a clothes peg on that, and go round like that. Sometimes I think oh let's get rid of the duvets and have sheets, blankets, eiderdowns!!! :) Joy PS We do still have blankets in the wardrobe.

Dan, teamwork is the answer! It's dead easy if two of you put the cover on together. Whichever way you choose, practise makes perfect! Jack x

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

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 :)

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

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

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.
