Found this just in time as I was deciding to give my duvet cover away. I have wrestled with it for years so this is a great solution. Thanks!

[@Verolinens]

Glad we could help, this is a very old one, please forgive the video & sound quality.

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

i just use them velcro cable tidy things, make a loop corner of the duvet and the inside of the cover, they cost like £5 for a pack of 100 lol

[@StarLight-sl9ok]

Wow, this is genius!

[@TheJayhawk96]

Great solution. Just what I've been looking for. Thanks!

[@Verolinens]

Thanks I am glad this helps, it is a problem that some people have encountered. It is pretty easy to do. Some people will also use Velcro strips (with an adhesive backing). It works, but leaves a stick residue on the comforter and duvet.

AT LAST a GREAT TIP!!! I can finally buy duvet covers!!! Thanks soooooo much!!!

[@bidefordbridge2462]

I found it interesting that the silk duvet and cover we bought while visiting China was NO PROBLEM. The duvet had loops in the corners already sort of like a button loop and sure enough inside the cover were the ties to secure the duvet in place. Come on guys -- we all know the problem so how come we are having to remedy it? The manufactures should know what is needed.

[@grantedmemories]

Steve you are a genius!

[@Verolinens]

Thanks for the answer Carlie. This is correct, the ties are attached/sewn to both the comforter or duvet cover, however, they are independent of each other. They become adjoined when you tie them in a bow, but can be easily separated for washing.

Thank you for this video. I have always been puzzled how to do this. Only suggestion I was given was to sew the corners & it seemed to defeat the purpose of being able to easily remove the cover to throw in the wash. I just want to add, that I did see the other improved video, but actually liked this much better. It's just a big help to actually see you doing it versus seeing photos of where to sew this or that. Again, thank you. I almost look forward to winter when I can put my quilts or comforters in a duvet cover. :)

It suit me just fine and I am laying under my comforter with the ties on it that I sewed per the instructions on this video.

[@Verolinens]

Thanks for the question, I am limited to the number of characters I can respond with - so I am posting multiple responses. I am not 100% sure I understand your question - but assuming that you are talking about a possible gap that one could get in the middle of the top edge (that being the edge closest to your face) - yes... However - be careful not to sew into the comforter itself (sew on the edge) as down can escape from the small holes that you create with the needle & thread.

[@margaretroberts-neilson1356]

Thanks Daisy, glad we could help, please like us, subscribe to our channel and check out some of our other videos - Steve

[@xTitan1]

Steve, could this technique be applied to various points along the top and sides of the comforter as well, to get even less slipping? On a king size comforter and duvet, the corners may still be in the correct position while the comforter in the middle of the top sags down. If you could also do this at the middle of the top, it would prevent slipping even better, right?

[@kyandi3]

So helpful; thank you! Did you add a loop to all four corners of the down comforter, or just the top two?

[@Verolinens]

Glad we could help. Again, this is an old video there is a newer one. Regardless, you don't need to sew straps at the foot of the duvet cover, as they don't fall up so to speak. You might consider sewing ties on all 4 corners of the down comforter. It is recommend that you turn the comforter 180 degrees every once in a while (they wear out in the shoulder area, turning them will add more life to it). Be sure to view some of our other bedding tips at www.verolinens.com/how-to-tips/.

[@Verolinens]

These holes can become larger as tension is applied to this area when attempt to pull it up. One doesn’t typically need to attach the comforter to the duvet cover on the sides or the foot area as this is not wear the comforter moves or shifts. Comforters slide down (toward the foot of the bed) as gravity pulls them down at the overhang or the foot of the bed, as well, once a gap occurs between the comforter and the duvet (at the head of the bed).

[@Verolinens]

Many manufacturers do not put them in due to the cost associated with doing so. In addition slippage is not an issue that all encounter. I suppose it boils down to economics. Thanks for the comment and viewing our video.

[@tom_something]

Thanks for explaining that. I was curious myself. My previous duvet and cover set had all of that, and I'd been wondering why my new one didn't.

[@ASO7467]

I started doing this to mine about 7 years ago, but I've done the four corners and in the center of each side.

[@tyler_4147]

It's sad you have No subs tjis isant my thing so good luck

[@Deejaay83urj38]

I also use large strong nappy safety pins. Not cheap bendable. I start at top seams and join the hem of cover carefully through the doona or quilt. Weaving needle in and out to prevent stress. Better on quilt right under seam stitching. Work around sides and bottom as much points as you like

[@Verolinens]

Sounds like this would work. Thanks for watching. Be sure to checkout our 150+ bedding tips here www.verolinens.com/how-to-luxury-bed-sheets-linens-tips/

[@12percentt]

Thank you-Do you secure all four corners in this manner?

[@stevec8920]

Tracy, it is not necessary to secure all 4 corners. Down comforters don't slide up, they slip down. So securing the comforter to the top of the duvet cover will do the trick. However, if you ever decide to flip the comforter from top to bottom, you may want to consider putting ties at the other end (foot) of the down comforter. It is not necessary to sew ties at the foot of the duvet cover. I hope this helps, let me know if you have additional questions - Steve, Vero Linens.

[@Verolinens]

All you need to do is untie the straps and clean as required. Let me know if you have additional questions - Steve

[@brittanystella2086]

I used to have the same problems, duvets are so hard to get in the duvet cover alone especially on bigger beds! And it moves around all over the place. I found a company called Du-Zipp, problem solved. It is a system with the duvet and the duvet cover working together using zippers half the zipper on the duvet the other half on the cover you lay the cover inside out put the duvet on top zip the zippers together and flip it the right way out. Pull the four corners to straighten it and the duvet stays in place until it is time to wash your cover no more fussing! I absolutely love my Du-Zipp!

[@funkyflights]

Why can't all Duvet covers simply have the ties already sewn on ? Most of the down comforters have the corner loops already sewn on....

[@bystandersarah]

I’ve done this ages ago but I still have slipping issues with the sides. It’s like I need an attachment every foot length! I toss and turn a lot so maybe I really do need extra 🤔

[@Verolinens]

This typically isn't a problem, but if it is, sure add more ties.

[@Verolinens]

Sure, take 8 safety pins and pin the comforters together at the (4) corners & in the center of each of the comforters edges. Now here is the important part - you need to pin them on the cording or any fabric that is outside of the area where the down is contained. If you pin them on fabric where the down resides, over time, the pins will begin to create a larger hole in the fabric & your down will begin to escape. Call or email me if you have additional questions - verolinens (dot) com

[@JessicaSmith-tr3dp]

My down comforter and duvet already have the ties and all 4 corners are tied. But my comforter still slides down in the middle and I have a bunch of the duvet fabric empty at the top. I am looking for a way to secure the whole top part of the comforter to the duvet.

[@Verolinens]

You can place a tie in the middle of the top edge, this should help. Please see our 150 + bedding related articles found here - www.verolinens.com/how-to-luxury-bed-sheets-linens-tips/ .

[@bryantwhitis6446]

So only the top needs to be alterated? Q, coconut buttons, or a heavy duty YKK zipper on a duvet cover. Which is beu?

[@Verolinens]

Some people will secure the foot of the comforter, however we think it is unnecessary as the comforters fall down the bed, not up, if that makes sense.

[@Verolinens]

Safety pins are not the best way to do this, take a look at a newer version of this fix found here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2axknedbduIb68

[@Verolinens]

Down has a way of escaping from virtually any comforter. However, it should not be excessive. Look for holes in the comforter this may be the casue, if you have one or more sew them up. The shell or ticking should be at least a 300 thread count. A tight weave on the shell helps minimize down from escaping. It may be time to replace it. Here is a video that shows how to tell if it is time to replace one kzbin.info/www/bejne/iF6QhmilYtmgpqM . They do wear out. I hope this helps.
