Non iron duvet covers.

Er...ironing a duvet cover? I always just put them on without ironing and they look ok to me. Oops, am I just giving in to my inner slut?

Join the club Wheniwasyourage . I don't iron bedding except sometimes pillow cases. No-one else is going to see them anyway.

I don't think I've ever ironed a duvet cover, either! I hang mine out on the line, and by the time they've blown about a bit, and been hung over the airer they're perfect (enough for me, anyway)!

The only bedding items I have ever ironed are the pillow-cases that are hung up on Christmas Eve.

They only get crumpled again straight away.

I believe my cleaner does iron mine, at least she takes it into the room with the iron in it and stays there listening to music

.....and it's dark when you go to bed.

We have electric light in N Somerset!

It ain't dark here when I go to bed. In fact, it hardly gets dark at all in summer. Sun just goes behind the hills for a bit.

Winter makes up for it though.

But crumples in my duvet cover don't crumple my spirits.

Ah! The white nights!

Shouldn't need ironing if you tumble dry them. I haven't ironed anything for years...

Right I'll own up on this one. One of life's luxuries I do care for is freshly ironed pure cotton high count thread sheets. Bliss.

My duvet covers are cotton, and while I wouldn't iron them, my cleaner does. So they are all crisp and lovely for one night at least. ( And I have explained about my cleaner lots of times!)

Mine gets dried by hanging over the bannister if the weathers bad, outside if good!
I'm Eco friendly I am!

Iron...

I fold mine into quarters and steam iron the two top surfaces, if you see what I mean, the rest seems to benefit! I also have cushions and a throw on top (I believe it's called drawing the eye!) so there isn't much actual cover to see! I do wish there was a 'clean bed every day' fairy, like the one that puts stuff in the dishwasher, only not me!

I`m another who folds and irons the two exposed sides, same with sheets, I do iron pillowcases though.

Not on your Nellie

You know Supermum, the one I paid around a hundred pounds for from John Lewis (supposed to be easy-care cotton) is a bugger to iron, and looks not good if you don't. But the one I bought from a huge warehouse cheapie store for nine pounds, doesn't need touching with an iron. It's a very soft poly-cotton. Nice to sleep under.

So, perhaps go for the cheapest.

Not on my nellie, either, nellie!!

I confess to ironing mine - the cotton one is a swine to iron and I am never completely satisfied with the result - I have a very good pressured steam iron too - I do quite enjoy ironing - or at least seeing the pile when it is done - I like the smell too! I wash my bedding and towels etc at a high temperature and that tends to put creases in which don't come out enough when they are dried.

I remember reading once that when Jackie Kennedy lived in the White House she once had the bed changed four times in a day - maybe Marilyn had been visiting!

Iron them when still very slightly damp. I wash mine on 60C too, but on a slower spin.

Tried all that with the damp etc but not much difference - I now. Just do them with the linen setting on the iron and lots of steam - OH never notices anyway- just me being fussy really.

Some of mine are 100% cotton from IKEA and a good blow on the line is all they need.
