dumb duvet question

[Anonymous]

Just got a new duvet cover that I LOVE; up til now we've just used a comforter. However, the comforter slips down inside the cover, so that if I pull the covers up, I just get duvet cover fabric and no comforter. Does anyone have a solution to what must be a pretty common question?

Yes - my husband thinks I"m insane to want a comforter at all in this weather, but it makes me happy

safety pins at the corners

Some of the covers come with ties at each inside corner that you can attach to the little loop that many duvets have at each corner. You could probably sew/construct your own, although it might be a bit of a pain. Or maybe just stick a bit of velcro on the inside of the cover and on the duvet in a couple of places?

I found out that getting a slightly smaller duvet helps. You need to measure your comforter and then compare the size on the duvet package. I always had this problem and realized that my queen comforter was several inches smaller than my queen duvet (you figure the sizing would be standard!).

Until I figured it out, I used safety pins, although i do like the idea of the ties....doubt I'll ever get the time to actually sew them, though.

I don't do anything except try to arrange it so the excess is at the foot of the bed.
