Duvet split into quarters for washing

Options
I had an idea that a duvet could be in 4 parts for a king size, 2 parts for a single,  with big heavy duty zips  

When in the bed the zips would be hardly noticeable but the unzipped parts would be easy to wash at home in a standard domestic washing machine.  A well designed duvet could have flap of duvet over the zip 

So I looked for washable duvets and there is nothing like this on the market. You can't wash a duvet in a domestic m/c it just fills up the whole washer and will not get washed..  

Help  Thanks

    Take it to the laundrette. That’s what I do £4 to wash it, and then bring it home to dry outside or over the bannister, depending on the weather. 
    £12 service wash if you want it washed and dried for you.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    You could get two thinner duvets; it would also allow you to use one in the summer and double-up for winter.

    This thread is now nearly 2 years old, so I’d hope the original question has been answered by now.
