Getting duvet cover to stay put

[Anonymous]

Just ordered a new duvet cover and am beside myself getting it to look smooth and flat. It came with ties at the corners, but there's nothing on our duvet they'd attach to. I feel like I must be missing something completely obvious here. How do you make sure your duvet doesn't end up all balled up in a corner of the cover every morning?

Thanks.

Just tie the ties around the corners of the duvet? Or use safety pins. I'm not seeing the issue.

I have a hard time to imagine what you are talking about. So the duvet inside the duvet cover (which presumably is closed with buttons) ends up balled up like in the corner of a bag?

They sells special clips for this purpose at Bed, Bath & Beyond.

Hmm. My duvet never gets balled up inside the cover. Strange.

You tie the ties around the corners of the duvet. Just tie it about half an inch below each corner of the duvet, and tighten, and it will stay tied in.

We do both (depending on whether pins are handy).

Or use binder clips.

What is the cover made of? What about the duvet? Is one or the other made of slippery polyester?

I've been using duvets my entire life and have never had that problem. Are you pulling on the cover and not the duvet in the night? Does it not fit (i.e. is the quilt too small for the cover?)

OP, I have the same problem. You are not alone!!!

So what kind of duvet are you guys using? Is it a rather thin blanket? Then I can see this happening. I have a down duvet and don't have this issue.

I use the clips from bed bath and beyond, though it sounds like you can tie yours at the corners.

Same. Which is why I loathe duvets. I'll try the clips.

Just get some safety pins. Or knot the ties around the corners of your duvet.
