    Most (but not all) duvets and duvet covers have ties/loops to tie the corners (and sometimes the midpoints) off to keep this from happening.

    Honestly I never had this issue nor knew about the loops/ties until I graduated from a full/queen cover to a king size one and it became a real problem.

      I have been around for 3 and a half decades and I’ve never had a duvet that’s done this in the UK

        For the first three decades of my life my duvet had the loops but the cover didn’t have the ties. I just thought the loops were something to grab on to while spelunking into the cover to insert the duvet 😂

          You don’t have to go spelunking if you don’t want to. Turn the cover inside out, lay the duvet on top, tie off the corners if you have ties, and turn it all back right side over.

      Obviously a different thing, but your comment unlocked a several decades old memory about my mom tying the ends of my duvet to the bed frame, because I would kick it off the bed while asleep. Wow, that memory was pulled from some very dusty and almost forgotten part of my brain, lol.

      It still happens especially with fabric like viscose. My duvet has ties for in-between corners too, but my comforter doesn’t, so I get what’s being described here. I need to sew some in and stop being a lazy ass.
