need tips for keeping down comforter in place inside duvet cover
Comments (22)The duvet (the comforter part) should be the same size as the cover. I've found that comforters are usually not the same size as proper duvets and don't fit the covers properly. Seems there is little standardization in these products. We bought our first duvets and duvet covers in Europe and no problem with shifting, just gave them a shake in the morning and they were in place. The covers fit perfectly which I'm sure was the reason why they didn't shift. I think clips or buttons would be uncomfortable if you actually used the duvet. If you only use it for decoration turned back no problem. Ties might be more comfortable....See MoreComforter or Duvet cover?
Comments (44)Here's how I solved my Duvet problem....I also put a sheet under my Duvet cover.............. I was finding it difficult when sleeping with the Duvet and the cover being used as a blanket , then, in the morning it was my bed cover....I'd be all wrapped up in it & it would get twisted as a blanket would.. I felt my bed was never completely made..How I solved this problem was...I bough & put on my Duvet, a White cover. Then I purchased 2 fancy Duvet covers , I like a change... I have the Duvet with the white cover tucked in at the foot of my bed...When I make my bed in the morning, I pull the Duvet up as you normally would..Then.., I just lay my fancy cover right over the top of the White one,,I also tuck that in at the foot of the bed. You would never know that the Duvet itself isn't stuffed into the fancy cover.. At night, I take the fancy one off & sleep with the white one that is permanently on the Duvet. That's the one the gets washed every so often.. You still can't get away from that lumpy look but I don't think its quite as bad when covered with the fancy one,,,..I guess there's no way of getting away from that completely.....It's a matter of getting used to.. Works for me.........See MoreDuvet (Cover) for comforter
Comments (9)I had the same problem. Most comforters don't come in that size, I didn't find them at Lands End or Cuddle down. And fabric dosen't usually come in that size either. I did purchase a down comforter from Pacific Coast,the "Grand" down comforter measures 120" x 98". It's the largest I've ever found. It's a high quality down. pacificcoast.com has them. Any way then you can't find a duvet to fit. So I searched e bay for oversize fabric pieces. I bought Ralph Laurens 'Guinevere" fabric on EBay. It was advertised as a "semi" finished" duvet and it measured 120 x 102. The duvet cover came finished on 3 sides, I bought snap tape and sewed the top closed myself. It was the best $80.00 I've ever spent. Good Luck!...See MoreQuestion about belgium linen duvet covers...
Comments (1)I have the linen duvet from Rough Linen and I absolutely love it! Wrinkles don't bother me though. It actually adds to the beauty of the linen. It sleeps wonderfully and gets better with every washing. I can't recommend Rough Linen enough! I have several pieces from there and the quality is great!...See Moreannie1971
