Had the sudden urge to strip my bed. It was a lot of effort for a Friday night. Worked up a sweat getting that doona in the cover perfectly. My technique for this is a workout, there’s probably an easier way. But it’s done and now I have fresh sheets sleep to look forward to.
My ex actually taught me the method I use for getting a doona in a cover. You start with the cover inside out.. reach inside it to the far corners and use the corners like mittens to grab the corners of the doona where they should go. Then you just kinda pull the doona through/inside out in one big flamboyant motion like a magicians trick. Then tuck the other 2 corners in but they'll be easy, the ones near the opening. It works really well.
Before that I used to get inside the doona cover, briefly be a ghost and ghost tackle her, then awkwardly try to stuff the doona inside the cover and it'd be a whole thing.
It's crazy how tiring it can be to change bedlinen. I know this and still curse at having to do it every time. I splurge on nice sheets so the fresh sheet feeling is elevated even further. (and I change the doona cover less regularly).
Sunday's going to be linen day for me. Brand new (but washed) sheets after 2 years.
