I have had a down comforter for as long as I can remember. I introduced Hub to the down comforter. Where we live, it's pretty conducive to our weather for a better part of the year. I love snuggling under the cozy comforter and have always thought I wouldn't have it any other way.
Until now.
With a down comforter, one usually has to use a duvet cover. I wouldn't see a problem with this except for the fact that I can never find a cover that fits the duvet perfectly and causes the duvet to bunch or slide down the cover. What has been happening so much lately is that when I pull the covers up, I am pulling up only the cover because the duvet has slid somewhere down to the middle of the bed. Not awesome.
Hub suggested just taking the cover off and using the duvet by itself. Our duvet is white so this would be hard to keep clean and I don't think they are very easy to wash. I think we may do this for awhile, but I think it may be time to retire the ol' down comforter idea and move onto some other types of warmth in our bed.
What do people use other than a duvet?
A regular comforter?

A quilt?

A thin blanket and then maybe a heavier blanket?
I feel like I am at a loss.
Hopefully I will figure something out because obviously this is a pretty big problem we have.
And just to throw something else in--love these!

We have used a down comforter for many years too and I also can't stand how duvet covers to no stay in place. I even bought a night heavy duty one that had buttons inside that were supposed to keep it in place... but no! We decided to buy a bed set with a regular comforter and cute matching pillows, but we keep the down comforter under the bed set (white down comforters are hard to keep clean for sure!). Each night we just pull the top set back and sleep with the sheets and down comforter. The bed looks nice made since the down comforter is covered, but we have the comfort of what we are used to at night. Best of both worlds!
Holy typos! Sorry! Can you tell I typed that last comment really fast without looking it over? : )
