Finish the quilt cover. manifest for top sheet return

A cover party? This is definitely an invitation we could do without. Because we’ve all drowned in a giant 140 x 200 cm or even 240 x 220 cm or even 260 x 240 cm fabric bag one day. And during this bimonthly, weekly test for the most hygienic and demanding people, every inch counts, and we’ll almost regret choosing the comfort of a queen-sized bed. Since the blanket has become a household staple over the past thirty years, we’ve all developed techniques to avoid sinking every time we change the cover.

Sinking into the depths of the duvet cover

There are those who have chosen the strategy of abseiling, a type of discipline that is both caving and diving, but without the helmet and fins. With the covers laid flat on the bed, a piece of blanket in each hand, they throw themselves into the chest after taking a deep breath to anchor each end in the corners of the covers. They come out of this race between the two areas of the fabric on the suffocating and damp fronts. Checking, checking. often it turns out that a new expedition is necessary, because in the darkness of the depths of the textile it is difficult to distinguish front from back, right from left, and together upside down. Others argue for an inside-out cover. We would actually find it easier to attach the corners of the quilt when the cover seams are visible. Then it will be enough to prepare a close face so that all the elements come together perfectly… The experiment remains unconvincing as far as I am concerned. Inversion is a form of magic that is difficult to master. Here, the charmer does not make the rabbit come out of the hat with the movement of the wand, but with the force of the wrist, the blanket disappears into the cover. The trick is not easy…

-3000 BC

So it’s no coincidence that the quilt took so long to settle on our beds. It would, in fact, be born in China in B.C. -3000 in the form of a small silk blanket. It then flourished in Northern Europe during the Middle Ages. Then you need the look of a big bag filled with a bunch, which is recommended as a very useful wedding gift, especially during harsh winters. But then it was not intended to cover the bodies; In the Middle Ages, people were very wise to adopt them, serving as a mattress cover and making the mattress more welcoming. Legend has it that all kinds of ticks crawling in the feathers caused its development. And the flat sheet and blanket took over. He then sinks into oblivion. Until the crusade of the British Terence Conran, the designer and especially the creator of Habitat. His hobby? THE “ 10 seconds bed “, or “make your bed in 10 seconds”. The English sire with his Trojan horse quilt then breaks into the hexagonal interior. It’s the 1960s, saving time is a priority and making the bed “square” is no longer a concern. Terrence reflexes when you wake up the blanket. This does not cause a crease. no more straightening in the morning, wavy curls become the norm. The English won.

Rather than the stake, let’s put the cover in the posts

And yet… The time saved in the morning is systematically lost when changing the cover. And we can even during this exercise lose our composure, feel the peak of tension (it is impossible even like phlegm british not get hurt). A true paradox in a space associated with rest and relaxation. To reconnect with serenity, we can legitimately dream of returning the quilt to fold the quilt. Of course, it is also necessary to outline, follow the ribs of the mattress, but we are far from the know-how that is used when plunging into the textile abyss. It is obvious that the debate is not essential and will never be a subject of questioning in PP. But beware! Tired cover. Its defenders should not sleep peacefully, because those who are angry with this shell, more and more, are waking up and, honored with their honor, are determined to make their voice heard and make this wish come true.stakePut an end to the blanket business once and for all.
