Say goodbye to frustration and hello to a faster, smarter way of making your bed

Struggling to insert your doona into its cover? You’re not alone. Many of you may find this chore unnecessarily tedious and frustrating. The good news is that a game-changing technique can transform how you make your bed, saving you time and effort while leaving your doona perfectly aligned.

The secret lies in a clever roll-up method. Start by turning your doona cover inside out and laying it flat on your bed, with the opening positioned at the foot. Ensure the cover is wrinkle-free and neatly spread out. Next, place your doona directly on top, making sure all corners are perfectly aligned. Taking care to smooth out any bumps will ensure a flawless fit.

Once everything is in place, begin rolling the doona and cover together from the top of the bed towards the foot, much like creating a compact sleeping bag. When you reach the end, invert the cover’s opening around the rolled bundle. Secure any buttons or zippers to keep the cover in place.

The magic happens as you gently unroll the bundle back toward the head of the bed. As you do, the doona seamlessly slides into place inside the cover. Give it a good shake to even out any creases and ensure a smooth finish.

Voilà — a perfectly dressed bed without the usual wrestling match.

This technique works because it eliminates the awkward manoeuvring that most people dread. By treating the doona and cover as a single rolled bundle, the process becomes both efficient and surprisingly satisfying.
