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'm an uncultured slob that doesn't put my blankets in giant pillowcases. I am happy in my ignorance.

Yes, but also yes

It's stuff like this that makes me both relieved and slightly ashamed that I'm in my 30s and still don't know quite what a duvet is.

You're supposed to tie the corners in

Magnets. Not kidding. They sell strong magnets with a cloth covering so it doesn't have edges, and you just secure the ends with them.

I eventually just started using a top sheet + bottom sheet. Easier to wash, no spelunking into the duvet to find the corner ties, and can change out the top sheet if I ever want to change the feel of my bedroom! I was finding that I would put off washing the duvet just due to the effort of dealing with it 😵‍💫

It's the bed cover that pops off the mattress every morning that shits me

Fortunately, got a new bed cover and seems fine now. Best investment ever

I'm 41 and I still don't know what a duvet is or why it needs covered.

Duvets are a pain in the ass and both the duvet and cover need to be washed anyway. Why not just stick with comforters with sheets and save yourself the trouble?

Flip it every few days. It works pretty good once you're over the initial shock of having the feet end near your face.

I think I could make a fortune going around teaching people how to do their bed, cause I never had huge existential problems like these. It's crazy.

I thought I was the only one.

Duvet makes no sense to me.

Why do duvets have covers when u have to wash both anyways?

Maybe another question is how long can the duvet go between washes when you regularly wash the covers? Is it jeans or jackets?

It's the bane of my fucking existence!

No but seriously though. Pisses me off so much!

Omfg yes. I am under this duvet so that I have a heavy warm blanket over me. Not some shit ass excuse for a fitted sheet.

I have learned to just accept that and live with it. Works about 60% of the time
