Duvet cover holders

narabanekeater

Can anyone please tell me if they know where I can buy the little holders that top a duvet cover slipping off the duvet please? I think pat of my problem is that I do not know what they are called to try and source online. TIA

Think they're called duvet clips but.... I just use safety pins! They seem to do the job!

I've just been googling, as this was a problem that I've been struggling with - came across a website called 'Apartment Therapy' with a section called 'How to Keep a Duvet in Place'.

This is copied/pasted from one of the posts on that thread:-

Duvets out here - poster lived in Hong Kong - come with bias binding stitched across the corners and a loop in the middle on all four edges...duvet covers come with a pair of strings stitched into each corner and a pair in the middle on all four sides.

You tie the first two corners and the one in the middle (with the duvet cover inside out) then as you shake the cover right side out over the duvet, you accordingly tie the middle ones and then once its completely over the duvet, tie the remaining two corners and the middle. Simple..and nothing moves, no matter what side you grab to shake it out.

This was exactly the idea that I had got into my head and was pondering on .......................... now I KNOW that it's not a 'crazy solution', I'm going to definitely 'have a go' at doing just this :j

I don't think it slips out - it is more that the duvet slides down whilst inside the cover, so that it is no longer lined up with the top of the duvet cover. There is a section of cover sans duvet.

My duvet is slightly smaller than the duvet cover - it's also 'Super King Size'. The middle of the top of the duvet is always 'slipping down' inside the cover, which I find very irritating during the night as you end up with just 'cover' around your neck/shoulders instead of 'duvet and cover'.

Definitely going to give the corner and middle tapes a go .

I have a feather duvet and it slips down I the cover during the night. I often have 5 inches or so of cover around my neck and face but no duvet.
My spare duvet, however, which is the normal white stuff (is it called microfiber?) doesn't slip down at all

So it could be down to what the actual duvet is made from.

I use nappy pins, so much safer than normal safety pins

Its a bit of a faff, I know, but OH's Mum once said something about sewing a button on the corner of each duvet. (it would have to be a big one) then elastic loops inside each corner and hooking these over the button.
Hope you get the idea because I'm not sure it would work.


We use blankets and sheets. Haven't used duvets for years.

Try these from ebay. I bought some and they really work! You slide the elastic under the mattress then clip the duvet into the grips, simples.

They are called cosy grips and come in single and double.
