I am so fed up with duvet covers that have poppers that break, or buttons that fall off, or ties that look silly.
Has anyone ever seen a cover made like a pillowcase, with a large envelope at the bottom so you just tuck in the duvet?
Maybe the Swedes or the Germans have such a thing?

With that arrangementwould the Duvet lose it's Shape.?

Why not fit a Zip.....Job done......

I was going to suggest some Hooks and Eyes, but They could catch.......

Another solution would be Velcro...? 4 or 5 Squares would do a Double easily....

A long zip for a king sized bed......

Don't see why it would lose its shape if it was like a pillowcase.:dontknow:

Like a Suitcase. A zip at each corner... Meeting in the Middle.

Dare I ask what you get up to that needs the duvet to be locked inside the cover?

I have poppers on my duvets but just don't bother fastening them! Nothing falls out at night that shouldn't. :)

I find that if there are no poppers or buttons or whatnot then the inside duvet sort of half falls out. Looks messy.

Why? Was it the envelope design or just the poor quality of the fabric which I must admit I have also experienced both here and on mainland. Cheap and nasty. I too buy all my bedlinen now from the UK.

Is it the look of it or the difficulty?

Two loose flaps - do you tuck one IN and fold the other OVER? It drove me insane.....

Ooh that is odd....could it have been for two duvets, like an extra one in the winter? Sounds dodgy. I think I'll wait til I go to John Lewis! Thankyou for the info.

Don't think so Rosemary - it was like 2 sheets sewn together except for the top 12-18 inches..

Aah yes but this criticism could possibly be because men do not regularly have to change the duvet covers and break their backs and their spirits in so doing! Bit like childbirth!

Oi you cheeky little :devil2:

I had a couple of duvet sets I bot over there from the place in San Isidro (can't remember the name) They were the open ended type and used to drive me mad I used to tuck 'em between the matress and the bed !

and those massive pillow cases open both ends what's that all about

Happy now Scotland !
