Anchoring a duvet on a bed

    Thanks for finding this. My little girl sleeps in a high double bed and it's a nightmare having to climb up to tuck her duvet back in. This should make my life much easer.:T

    I don't need a double gripper as I have now solved the problem of a cold spot when husband steals the duvet. The cost is zero (for me anyway).

    I normally have a top sheet on because it is summer and you throw the duvet back. Normally the sheet is just flung on the bed. This time for some unknown reason I tucked the corners under the mattress and low and behold my duvet now stays on and in the correct place. And has done for nearly a week.

    Which means in the morning all that has to be done is the duvet and top sheet turned down before making the bed.


    I am like d'oh it has taken me 10 and half years of cold spots to get to this answer. Talk about away with the fairies.

    Yours

    Or you can do what we do, and have separate duvets - a single thin summer one for me, and a double, wrap up like a slug, medium weight one for DH. No cold spots, ever, and everyone gets the covering thickness of their choice!

    Oh, and we have a six foot wide bed too. Practical sleepers, us.
