We’re all stuck indoors at the moment, and something we are all really appreciating is the simple comforts of life. One of those simple comforts for me, is our bed. Being able to snuggle down after a crazy day of Mum school!
Spundown Medium Support Pillow
I have been meaning to update our pillows for ages. Did you know that it is recommended that you change your pillows every two years? This is in order to make sure your neck and head is getting enough support and to prevent a dust mite problem.
We have been sent the Spundown Medium Support Pillow from Trendsetter. One of the things that appealed to me about this pillow is that it’s washable and that it will retain its quality wash after wash. It is also filled with advanced Smartfil® fibres, these highly compressible fibres recover and return to their original plump shape even after repeated washing. I have been hit already this year with young children with a stomach bug being ill in my bed, so washable bedding it totally a must in this house!
I can definitely attest to the fact that these pillows are really plump. I’ve ordered two, but to be honest, I am perfectly happy just sleeping on one.
Talking of those dust mites, a great way of preventing them and increasing the life of your pillows is to get pillow protectors. I have also been sent spundown pillow protectors to accompany the pillows and they are really thick and such lovely quality. There is a zip on one end too to make sure they don’t slip out. They can be removed and washed at 60 degrees.
The Night Owl Duvet
Do you hate changing your duvet covers? Then the Night Owl duvet is the answer to your prayers. It is a duvet and a duvet cover all-in-one. No more wrestling with duvet covers, just chuck it all in the washing machine when it needs cleaning, and it quick dries in just an hour and a half in the tumble drier.
The duvet is easily stored in a bag. So another good way to use it is to keep it in as a spare for guests. Without having to have a duvet and different covers in, just in case. The texture of the duvet has a silky kind of sateen feel to it, but is very soft.
It comes in several different colours and different weights for different seasons. You can also purchase matching pillow cases. Another great aspect is that is comes with a 2 year guarantee.
So it’s a great alternative solution if you hate wrestling duvet covers, or aren’t physically able to. I know it was something I really struggled with at the end of my pregnancy with a king size duvet.

Changing the duvet is the worst job ever! Yet having a nice fresh duvet is the best feeling! This sounds like such a unique and perfect solution!

Yes, I always feel like I’ve done a workout by the time I’ve finished x
Yeah! I might get the kids to do it………haha!
Yes, I always end up inside it trying to line up the far corners!
I would rather iron clothes than change the duvet covers. I detest it, but it sadly has to be done.
Hate it, afterwards I always feel exhausted but triumphant
I have very serious issues with my knees and can only stand for short periods of time, so yea, I hate it and do it as rarely as possible lol!!
I don’t mind changing the duvet cover
Yes, has to be one of the worse jobs. Don’t do it as often as you are meant to.
I don’t mind changing the single ones, but hate changing the king size duvets.
Yes i hate it , i always get all tangled up
Get it over with as quick as possible and reward yourself with a nice glass of wine, that’s my tip!
yes especially my sons as we have one bunk bed and a high sleeper bed and i always find it difficult to change their covers! x
I hate changing my duvet especially for my king size bed
I don’t mind doing it! Only because I’ve perfected how to do it over the years lol
Yes, its a real workout.
Yep who needs to go to the gym, when you change the bed regular
Drives me nuts, especially when I’m in a rush it seems to take forever.
Yes I can never get it right in the corners and then it ends up a mess
Not too bothered about changing the duvet cover. After years of experience I seem to have it down to a fine art nowadays!

I struggle to change it on my own so wait until Sundays when my husband is around to help me!
I don’t hate it
Yes I dread it xx

I do hate it so much! Especially with being 26 weeks pregnant, it’s like fighting a losing battle lol. I just get my partner to do it for me
Yes its always a bit of a task but looks good when done
Yes as i have a superking bed and it takes ages!!
I love doing it! I get really into making it perfect haha! Although when the corners don’t match up straight away, it drives me crazy
That duvet changing is the bane of my life. How do you not end up getting trapped in that overlapping material. I’ve seen others do it without fuss and there is magic involved.
Yes i hate it! but always feel better when done.
Yes! I can never get it into the corners and I always end up with an empty flap of fabric at the top.
I swear it’s a double edged sword- nothing can build up a sweat quite like tackling getting a duvet into the duvet cover, but gosh is it so satisfying once it’s done and you can crawl into a freshly made bed at night.
Hate changing the duvet, my husband always moans and says I don’t do it right so now it gets left for him
oh yes it is always a battle when i change the duvet covers
Yes, I must go online to check out how to do it easier
Oh yes! My daughter also has a loft bed so its so hard to get sheets on neatly and the duvet all tucked in.
Hate it, with a vengeance! It’s one of the few jobs around the house that my other half just can’t (read won’t) do – so all 4 beds left to me…
ooh yes esp when your a household of 6!!
Yes I always struggle a bit but it’s great when it is done!
Yes it’s quite annoying especially when it gets twisted
I’d a job I swerve whenever my can as my husband has much longer arms!
To be honest i don’t really mind doing it
Can be a pain – but I can’t say I hate it!!
Yes I do hate it, especially when I’m at work as a housekeeper and have to change 9 duvets per shift.
No i treat it as a workout before i jump in the bath to relax
It’s one job I don’t mind doing as love fresh sheets
There is a variety of ways to tackle changing a duvet cover. Single bedding I find is ok. As aim for corners first. Double / King Size etc :- Best done with assistance. That isn’t always easy. So what I resort to sometimes is by making use of clothes pegs :- Once two corners done, make use of clothes pegs to keep cover and duvet together. Whilst tackling the other two corners.
Many of us would love the task to be done by :- Perhaps a robot, maybe someday this will be possible.
Scale of 1 – 10. I’d give it an 11. My least favourite household activity after cleaning the oven.
yes Definitely
I absolutely despise it, especially when I get to bed and forget that i’d taken it off!
I’ve got it sussed now, only took over forty years training hubby up!
I hate changing the duvet so much but it just has to be done
Totally! Duvets always seem to eat me
I love having fresh bedding on the bed but we have a superking bed so it’s a battle to put the duvet cover on every time!!
hate changing duvets takes me forever
I like changing duvet cover, love the scent of freshly washed bedding
The bane of my existence. I know there are techniques for changing the duvet but I’m sure that those practitioners are using deeply secret and arcane duvet magic!
I don’t mind cleaning them , it’s putting them back on i hate lol
Yeah I do normally hate it, glad I did it when its done though
I’m glad i’m not the only one who hates it lol
With my husband, we have it down to a fine art form!
yes i hate it—it should be a 3 man job
Yes I hate it and always end up inside the duvet itself trying to push the quilt into the far corners!
i hate duvet changing
I hate changing the duvet, but once its done and the feeling of having lovely clean sheets and the smell of fresh sheets is lovely.
YES! Always get my partner to help! 🙂
Yes and I so often end up with it all twisted
I don’t mind changing the cover on smaller duvets, but changing the cover on the winter weight superking duvet we use on our bed when it’s cold is pretty much impossible unless I get my husband to help.
Loathe it, especially since buying a super king size one for our double bed. It saves us arguing about hogging the duvet but takes two of us to change it!
I love changing the bedding, as much as i break out in a sweat, i just love the feel of fresh bedding ?
I always get my fiance to help, but I do love the fresh softener smell!
Yes! I’m only 5 foot tall and we have a king size bed, so it’s a full body work out each time!
Yes
yes, it usually takes a couple of goes, and still manages to be bunched up – ughhh
Yes especially because I am quite small!
I hate it I am only a small lady I always get hubby to do it
Yes, one of the worst jobs ever!
i trully dont mind! I go over my staircase, grab two corner and let gravity do the rest.
I dread the duvet changing. I just about cope with a single cover change, but anything bigger has to be a two man job, where both of us end up hot and bothered.
no i like it do it once a week you cant beat fresh bedding
Changing a single duvet is no problem and I don’t mind it. Changed a double or a king is impossible and I don’t even attempt it any more. I leave that to my husband!
I don’t mind I just get hubby to help
I don’t mind sometimes it decides to put up a fight lol
I try my best but hate it so leave my partner to sort it if not right lol.
Yes but I love it when it’s done
I don’t mind single or double ones but I really do struggle with our super kingsize!
I hate doing it I always end up fighting with the duvet
I don’t mind it. I find if you have the duvet cover inside out and put your hands inside to each top corners its easy to get on. xx
It is not fun but I have got used to it other the years.
i get my hubby to do it lol
I always seem to get a lump in the middle, but I don’t hate doing it.
I make sure I have a spare set and put it on straight away or otherwise if I leave it until later, then I’ve run out of energy!
Yes definitely! And I always find those missing socks inside the clean cover
Oh god yes! This is such a cool idea though. No more duvet changing ????
I don’t mind changing the duvet covers as I know how good fresh bedding feels
l really dont mind it, makes up for all the wrestling when l jump into a clean bed
Yes I do and I had to do them today
