Revolutionize bedtime: the vacuum bag hack for seamless pillowcase fitting and simple duvet switch

This task often takes longer than expected, either due to a lack of skill or poor-quality pillowcase material. Changing bedding can involve minutes of seemingly unnecessary gymnastics, causing undue stress. Instead of losing your patience, try reaching for garbage bags from the kitchen. These bags can be used for much more than trash collection, making changing bed linens less daunting.

Inserting a pillow into a pillowcase can be a challenge for anyone. We usually make several attempts before it fits properly. However, not everyone has the time or patience for this. Hence, the garbage bag method is worth a try. Simply put the pillow in the bag so it is tightly wrapped, then use a vacuum cleaner to suck out the excess air. This will reduce the size of the pillow, making it easier to insert into the pillowcase.

Ensure the pillow remains in the bag during this process. This will ensure a perfect fit within the pillowcase. Finally, pull the bag out quickly, allowing the pillow to regain its shape within the pillowcase. This method simplifies things and ensures that the pillows always fit perfectly into their covers.

This task is often not easy either. Usually, the comforter poses more challenges than the pillows. It appears that for years we've been changing our bedding in a rather inefficient and incorrect manner. We simply need to turn the duvet cover inside out, then spread it flat before laying the comforter on it, making sure its edges align with the ends of the duvet cover. These must overlap in order for the trick to work.

Next, begin rolling the comforter with the duvet cover into a roll, starting from the side with the buttons or zipper. It's vital always to ensure the ends of the comforter and duvet cover overlap. Once both pieces have been rolled up completely, insert them inside the duvet cover. The last step is to slide or fasten the other end of the duvet cover. Not only does this trick considerably shorten the time required to change your bedding, but it also saves you a lot of frustration.
