Your comforter will also likely shrink 3 5 when washed.
Can you put a duvet cover over a down comforter.
Basically take the comforter.
Some comforters also come with tabs but the majority do not.
Sure it will work you just have to watch that you pick a duvet cover that is not so light in color and fabric that the design shows through from the inner comforter.
Put your duvet cover on the top of your bed and make sure the opening is at the foot of the bed.
Duvet covers are meant to be washed and will experience fabric shrinkage.
So even if your duvet cover measures the same as your comforter it will likely shrink 3 5 and fit more snugly over your comforter.
Then take the comforter itself and just spread it out on top of the cover.
Start at the top of the top end and just roll it over all the way down.
Sure you can put a down comforter inside a duvet cover no problem.
In fact it s always better to have a duvet cover and it s also more fun.
Putting a duvet cover on your down comforter is much easier with 2 people although it can be done with just one person.
Ok now here s the real trick.
So to answer your first question.
Of course you can use a duvet cover even though your comforter does not have anything to attach it to but that is not very convenient.
And again the cover is inside out.
I had a down comforter with huge bright blue and yellow daisies on it and you could see them slightly through one of my cheaper pastel floral cotton duvet covers.
Duvet covers always have tabs or loops on corners and sometimes even on the sides to secure a cover.
Start by taking a duvet cover and turning it inside out and lay it out on the bed with the open end down near the foot of the bed.
