I’ve also heard that the insert should be a size bigger than the cover for a better fit.


I've heard this too, but I have a king size bed and literally cannot buy a larger insert. I suppose I could use the king duvet and a queen cover but then it would all be too small for my bed.


California King is size larger than King.

I the re-fluffer poster. I have to add that I use a coverlet on my bed and fold (in thirds) the duvet with insert at the bottom of my bed.

You need to size up on the insert (king insert in a queen cover) and/or put two thinner inserts in

This is the norm for a duvet cover. When you see duvet covers made up on a beautiful bed at Pottery Barn, remember that no one is sleeping on these beds. This is the nature of the beast. If adjustments are not for you, buy a comforter.


OP here. I addressed all of this in my original post. Yes corner ties are tied. Yes I do all the shaking and redistribution - that helps a little, but it's still looking sloppy. At least my bed is comfy, just looks bad. Finding great solidarity here in everyone else chiming in with the same gripe!
