What are the Dimensions of a UK Single Double Duvet Cover?

When it comes to purchasing a UK single double duvet cover, it is important to consider the dimensions to ensure a proper fit for your bed. The cover should be wide enough to fully cover the single bed and long enough to accommodate the length of the double duvet. 

Duvet cover sizes are slightly different from mattresses and duvets. The cover is a little larger than your duvets to allow for a comfortable fit. Make sure that the duvet is fully covered, providing warmth and comfort during sleep.

At AElinen.co.uk, we have standard UK-size duvet covers single, double, king, and super king along with a size chart.  It’s always a good idea to double-check the dimensions of the duvet cover before making a purchase.

How to iron a duvet cover?

What is the secret to flawlessly pressing a lavish duvet cover to achieve a 5-star hotel quality look? Choose a high-quality duvet cover that ensures a luxurious touch against your skin. 

A duvet cover is large and cumbersome, making it difficult to maintain. The following method works well and makes it much easier to iron.

• After washing your duvet cover according to the instructions on the washing label, tumble dry it and leave a small amount of dampness.

• Gently shake it out to remove any wrinkles or creases.

• If your iron table is big enough, fold the duvet cover into two halves, otherwise reduce it to a quarter of its normal size.

• Lay it flat on your ironing board.

• Adjust your iron to the appropriate heat setting, taking care to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific duvet cover material. 

• Delicately glide the iron over the duvet cover, starting from the top and working your way down. Paying extra attention to the edges and corners. 

• Once you have completed ironing the duvet cover, allow it to cool and settle before placing it back on your bed to add a touch of elegance.

How do you put on a duvet cover by yourself?

Adorning your bed with a luxurious duvet cover can be a delightful experience when done with finesse. Here we’ll discuss different duvet cover-changing techniques to put it on by yourself. 

The Inside-Out Method:

The inside-out method of changing a duvet cover minimizes tangles and ensures even distribution of the duvet inside the cover. It’s a versatile technique with the following steps to change your duvet cover.

• Start by turning the cover inside out and laying it flat on your bed. 

• Lay your duvet on top of the cover, making sure the corners align perfectly. 

• Stand at the head of your bed, and begin rolling both the duvet and cover together, starting from the closed end. 

• Once rolled, hold onto both corners of the duvet, and flip the duvet cover inside out over the duvet.

• Button or zip your duvet cover opening.

• Fluff out the corners or edges to ensure a snug fit. 

Roll and Stuff Method:

The roll and stuff method also known as the ‘Burrito Method’ or the ‘California Roll’ is another effective technique for changing a duvet cover. It involves the following steps:

• Start by turning the cover inside out and laying it flat on top of your bed.

• Lay your duvet on top of the cover, making sure all corners are aligned.

• Starting at the closed end, tightly roll both the duvet and cover together towards the open end. 

• Carefully tuck the rolled duvet into the cover, ensuring it is evenly distributed. 

• Finally, unroll the duvet and cover towards the closed end to achieve a perfectly styled bed with minimal effort.

The Ghost Method:

• Begin by turning your duvet cover inside out, and put it on over all your body.

• Revealing its interior corners. 

• Find the corners of the duvet through the cover and pull the duvet towards you.
