I’m sorry but I’m confused! I would rather you’d shown the whole process! Why only show how to do the duvet but not the actual cover? Could you do a tutorial for the cover? Thanks.
This is the solution that I’ve been looking for. Finally! My duvet has ties and stays in place well, so I won’t be using the snaps for the same purpose as you have. Instead, I wanted a way to attach my flat sheet to the backside of my duvet. All night, I toss and turn and wake up with my flat sheet in a mess. I also want to be able to skip a step when making my bed!
OK how in the world are you sleeping to wear your sheet does that so you’re gonna put holes in your sheets or your sheets are going to have permanent snaps on them I’ve never seen that before. Quite interesting.
@@JayzeVo17 I could never eliminate the top sheet when it gets hot. You still need something over you that could be lightweight and a duvet insert to me it’s just too heavy or a duvet
True life saver. I didn't know that it's this easy to make my own snap buttons. A set of snap machine + a few snap buttons would cost around 10 bucks here. Definitely will try.
Thanks for this great tip. I agree the snap method looks like the simplest and most convenient way. I just wish the bedding industry would make something like this standard so consumers don't have to find a DIY solution. It's 2023 can we finally solve the issue of slipping duvet covers?
After a couple days struggling with a duvet that’s going everywhere inside the cover, I’ve ordered the kit and the snaps. Here’s t hoping I get to feel covered by the whole blanket and not just the duvet cover corner. Thank you for your suggestions and acknowledging the first few options are crazy making.
Bravo and Manny kudos to you. No more trying to tie those little itsy-bitsy short ties to each other and then they come undone anyways. You Madame are brilliant and don’t ever forget that. Also, you save me $20 because I happen to have snaps on hand. I am subscribing to you/your channel ❤❤❤❤❤ Ty
I’m so glad it helped!! And I’m so glad you had the snaps already! It is always a win when I can use up sewing/crafting supplies. Thanks for watching and subscribing, so glad to have you!! ❤️❤️
Best way I've found: Attach elastic loops. Loop over large buttons. These don't come apart. It's inexpensive. It's easy to do & is much better than tying.
I did the KAM snaps on the four corners. After using it, I might put another set of snaps in the middle of top and bottom. I'm new at this duvet thing.😂 I use KAM snaps on tea towels for my stove handle. Love it. Makes a great gift too. There is a tutorial on youtube. “ Practically Functional.” She uses a different kind of snap, but the KAM snaps are better.
I hope it works out well for you! I didn't know KAM what the type of snap name, thanks for letting me know! I use them all the time for the most random things, I love your idea with the tea towels.
Finally! Placing my orders! Been fighting with a king sized feather conferred and cover! For TOO long! I fall asleep trying to find a solution… this is much more efficient than my sewing ties- which is fine… just wasn’t interested in tackling that massive job! LOL Thank you!
Thank you so much! Just what I needed, a summary of the possible solutions, a recommendation, and a detailed how-to-do-it. Perfect. I'm following your suggestion and fitting snaps. I just ordered a snap kit with tools in a box so it will all stay together. I'm going to put a couple of extras along the sides, as I like those to stay in place, and use brightly coloured snaps so that I can spot them easily. Looking forward to the experiment this weekend. 👍 It was so kind of you to respond to an earlier viewer's request by making an extra video on turning the snapped duvet right-side-out. Subscribed, and thanks for your tips!
Thank you for the subscription Jane! I think that is a wonderful idea to use brightly colored snaps, and you could even color code one color for the cover, and one color for the inserts. I hope it works really well for you.
Oh wow I have been having my duvet slip around the cover for ages and been so annoyed at it! This is the perfect no sew solution and I have the tool sitting in my drawer too!! Thanks for sharing
Thank you so much. I have severe sensory issues with bedding and I think you have solved my duvet issue. Can I ask if you have ever made your own snap tape? If so, what material do you recommend as using for the base (ribbon, tape, etc)?
I am so glad, and I really hope this method works well for you! I haven't made my own snap tape, but I would stay away from ribbon as it might fray or rip over time. I would probably use a nylon webbing so it can stretch, but still be strong. amzn.to/3vxBIGA The ends will just really need to be sewn securely.
Thank you so much. I feel so stupid for not thinking of this. I actually have these in my sewing room. Such a simple but effective solution. Thanks a ton!!
My duvet is driving me crazy I have to take it out and put it back into the cover to make it look nice otherwise it just clumps up and looks horrible so these hacks I definitely need thank you ❤
Fab, thank you! I have my duvet in a heavy anti-allergy cover, then a further cover on top. Having them all slide around is really annoying and everything starts bunching by our feet. Hopefully this will be the solution. Great video, very clear 👍
I really hope it does, like some other commenters have written you might want to add a few more snaps to the sides or top and bottom if everything is really heavy just to makes sure that it stays in place.
I did this last week and I’m pleased to say it works very well! It was hard getting the snaps through the duvet but it DID work. I have 4 snaps duvet to allergy cover, then 6 snaps allergy cover to outer cover. Very pleased!
This is awesome 💖 in the past when I’ve used metal snaps, I would find the right size socket from a ratchet set and a light weight hammer. I wonder if it would work for the plastic snaps 🧐
You could always give it a try, part of the snaps are in theory just bent flat which holds them onto the fabric. If it does work, please let us know, and thanks for watching!
I totally agree, I know for a while a lot of companies added the ties inside the covers standard, but lately I haven't been seeing those as standard anymore either.
THANK YOU.......This is the best option I've seen. I've never had an issue until I bought a king size doona and king linen doona cover and it's sending us crazy. Now I can use my very expensive snap puuter-oner and few of the hundreds of snaps I bought in 20 different colours, (because they'll come in handy one day.) Have you ever used them on the sides as well. Just wondered if it is even more secure. I suspect it's the linen that has a mind of it's own.
I'm so glad this solved your problem! I have put them on the sides, and it will keep you from having one side be all duvet and one side of it having a bunched up blanket on the inside. With the twin size I found it overkill, mainly due to us using cotton light weight covers, but with a heavier would, I think it would be helpful. Thank you for watching!
That seems like a lot of work, but there are a lot of things I would do that others would think are too much effort. IF it works for you, then keep on. :) Thanks for watching.
@tiff_phoebe We have these in twin size for my two kids as their summer or thinnest blankets. amzn.to/49KjJep these are the down version. Here is a link to the down alternative option amzn.to/42STf8s My husband and I use the down Ikea thinnest version here for the summer www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fjaellarnika-duvet-insert-light-warm-50457474/ and during the winter and fall we use a similar one to this www.ikea.com/us/en/p/fjaellhavre-duvet-insert-warm-70458062/ we got their previous version when they were transitioning to this type so we got it for MUCH cheaper. If you are okay with down alternative, that is always cheaper. Let me know if you have any other questions, and thanks for watching!
thank you for this video i was wondering why they do not make duvets and covers with snaps in the first place. i was unsure of how to put on cover.. like do i put snap through one side or both. your video helped.
I also wonder why they aren't sold this way. Ikea sells a duvet set that snap to each other so you can have a thin, thick, and super thick option, but not options to actually snap to the duvet. Thanks so much for watching!
I don’t understand how you attached the snaps to the duvet cover. Was it inside out? Did you go through both layers? Your demo on the comforter part was excellent, though.
So sorry for the confusion, I do have a blog post here with step by step pictures if that makes it a bit easier to understand here. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/ But I turn the duvet cover inside out and make a hole with the awl through both layers of the fabric. I try to stay on the extra seam material so the hole for the snap isn't on the portion that is seen when flilpped right side out. Let me know if you have any other questions.
My duvet as already had loops in the corners, so i stitched ribbon in the corners. It works welk as long as you dont accidentally get a double, triple knot. (Ahem. I may, or may notbe saying that I had to cut my duvet loose and resew the ribbon due to that particular faux pas.)
It definitely happens. 😜I think your method is definitely the second best method to snaps, but like you I do struggle getting some of the knots out which is why I prefer the snaps, but everyone has their preferences. :)
In that case I would use the snaps to snap the two comforters together. A lot of companies sell all season blankets with these snaps so during the summer you use one and then in the winter you snap the two together. Then you can add snaps to both comforters in the corners and use only one to keep the cover in place if that makes sense.
how do you keep the blanket from sagging at the middle at the top? The ties keep the corners up but for a heavier blanket the middle just sags hard :( And do you need bigger snaps for heavier blankets? We use electric blankets.
I have never had one come apart while sleeping. It only undoes when I personally unsnap them to take off the duvet. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Just a follow up - after using them for a few months they work awesome! A clip may undo once in a while (probably after a hard yank/kick whilst sleeping etc.). It is so easy to clip back on though and best to do straight away (otherwise it can lead to others uncoupling more easily). Thanks again!
My duvet and cover both have ties in the corners, but my issue is more that it bunches in the middle (it's a king size). Have you ever done this in more spots than the corners, and do you think it would work well?
I haven't had to do it because mine doesn't bunch in the middle, but. don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. If you do it, please let us know if it works well for you.
The most evil thing I've experienced in the world was when I was gifted a bed set for christmas with a duvet cover that not only had the duvet sliding around inside... *IT DID NOT HAVE ANY HOLES AT THE TOP*
I had a most difficult time attaching these snaps. It took days. The snaps with the spikes ended up for the most part breaking off. I had to keep going over and over replacing the broken spiked snaps with new ones. The comforter is supposedly queen size 86x86 and although the cover was supposed to be the same size it's actually way bigger. The comforter is also heavy so I had to put the snaps in about 7" inches apart. I will never use this system again.
I'm so sorry to hear this didn't work for you. I hope you find another solution that works well for you. Some people in the comments talk about strong magnets working well.
I’ve made a lot of diapers and also had these issues too. Or the whole snap would pop off. I do know that a lot has to do with adding the right amount of pressure and I suspect too much pressure to the snap pliers. Also it’s possible that diapers go through more use and abuse and laundering, so the duvet situation might be better.

If you own a sewing machine, you can make button holes on wide bias tape, Then sew those strips onto the corners. Attach buttons to the duvet cover. These stay secure & are easy to detach/reattach. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can also use elastic & buttons. Sew strong elastic loops onto the corners & attach them around large buttons you've sewed onto the other corners. You can place these also at the mid points for heavier duvets.
Yeah, it works if your duvet cover and duvet insert or paper thin but what if you have a thick duvet insert as well as cover do these things just on snap on their own or they strong enough to hold it and I need some to go in the middle, not the middle, but the top not the edges, but towards the middle becauseit droop down so I’m not sure if the snaps would work I might use Velcro
I personally don't think so because it isn't very noticeable once it is on a bed. However, I have added some pictures of a corner in my blog post toward the middle if you would like to see it. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/
I'm sorry I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. But if I understood you correctly, I would say to add more snaps on the inside of the cover in the top middle or on either side. It will mean you have more things to snap on, but it will definitely have less shifting. Hope this helps. Let me know if I misunderstood your question.
Hi! Loved this and looking forward to buying those snaps! If it’s possible, I would love an explanation.. the snap and the snap plier kit links that you placed in the description is all I need to order? Or do I also need to order the snap bulks? Thank you!❤
Hey Gabriella, the snap kit and one order of snaps is enough. I just included the bulk link as well because the more snaps you order the cheaper they are. I use them all the time for random things, but if you only need them for this project, the smaller portion would be plenty. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
I have linked everything in the video description, but here are a few links. If i'm missing any please let me know. Snaps - amzn.to/3jYWtBt Snaps Bulk - amzn.to/3vdYccN Snap Plier Kit - amzn.to/3K4NTM4 Happy Holidays and thanks for watching!
How do you suggest doing the bottom snaps when you have covers that are a little too long for the doona. I have a down doona and I hate when my cover bags up.
I would add the four snaps in the corners and see how it holds. With a regular fitting Down Blanket, I will fluff the Blanket in its cover as sometimes it does gather in certain spots. However, with the snaps it is just snapping it in the air a few times and done. If it still is bunching, I would add extra snaps to hold in place so it is evenly distributed. For instance, one extra in the top middle and bottom as well as a few on each side so it doesn't all lay on one end or the other. Let us know how it works and thanks for watching!
First of all I would like to THANK YOU for sharing this incredible and simple method as I have like the rest struggled for years to get on the cover and ofcourse the shifting is no fun either. I do want to share here a variation, I tried as I had a few failed snaps due to the thickness and rounded corner of the my comforter edge. What I ended up doing is positioning the snaps about an 1-1.5" (25-38mm) from the edges. This required the snaps on the cover to NOT go through both layers but just one side. It takes some bit of planning to secure the snap. This also helps address the issue with length noted here if the cover is a bit longer or wider you can position snaps accordingly. I'm not sure if there is a way to share a picture but If anyone wants to try this variation happy to share more @@TheSimpleHaus. Thanks again this is a great solution and I plan on using snaps on all my envelope style pillow cover that tend to not hold😀
I just use a piece of nice rope and tie the 2 corner above to prevent it from slipping down and that is enough. No hassle with all the things needing to be bought, installed or sewed. Also safety pins are bad because winter duvet are quite heavy and can make it open and possible stab you. Also it damage fibers with may cause a hole the other pin thing would cause damage as well but less. A well tied corner will stay until duvet need to be changed and washed so no needing to put everything inside out to fix or unfix things either just pull the rope on one side and done.
Since the snaps are on the inside the color doesn’t matter. You can of course color coordinate, but I just use the same color for all of them. Thanks for watching!
@@carmelaklug9997 So sorry for the confusion! Here is a link to a blog post where I show the ends of the duvet. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/ Here is a video where I show step by step how to put the Duvet cover on with the snaps. ruclips.net/video/sr_3Br0eI6I/видео.html
I have found if I take it out o the washer and kinda of lay it flat in the bottom of the dryer that the chances are a lot lower of getting stuff inside of it. Or I simply line dry them, which is what most people in Europe do. However, sometimes weather doesn't allow that.
The duvet will still slide and one very will very quickly,end up right where it started. It’s sort of obvious that if linen is tied b it will hypothetically straighten out except that it won’t.😊
Sorry if this sounds stupid. I understand how you put the snap on the insert portion… But not the duvet cover. How do you put a snap way up in the opposite corner from the zipper inside with that toolYou would have the bunch up a lot of duvet to get the upper snaps opposite of the zipper on the day
This doesn't sound stupid at all! Many people put on duvet covers in different ways. If you go to this video, ruclips.net/video/sr_3Br0eI6I/видео.html you can see how I put on the duvet covers. I keep the Cover inside out while snapping the duvet blanket to the cover. Then I turn it right side out, and the snaps stay in place holding the corners. If you need more clarification, let me know.
I thought of somethin even better, use neodymium magnents, small round ones on ebay, you can get get 10 for 10 bucks. They are the strongest magnets in the world, worked like a charm to keep my insert in place, didnt have to alter my bedding with anything
@@TheSimpleHaus oh yeah i wouldnt be that silly to leave them on there. Neodymium magnets are very strong, it would be impossible to forget to remove them before washing because it takes alot of effort to remove them once they are held together. You wont be able to remove the duvet insert without removing the magnets. The magnets will never shift around. Its been perfect
@@Monica111960 put the insert into the duvet, place a neodymium magnet on the inside and another on the outer side of duvet. Only use neodymium magnents because they are the strongest. I paid 10$ for 10 of them on ebay. Keeps everything in place nice and secure
@@TheSimpleHaus I've just tried with pins 1,5 inches long as I saw on a video. I'll see if it works. What I can say is the pins can't be seen, which is good.
Use silicone cable ties and wrap the end of your duvet, along with the duvet cover string onto it. After a few wraps, fold the end of the duvet again over the cable and continue wrapping till its tight. Then tie your duvet string.
What has been your best way to keep your blankets in place? I have seen some people using the beddy Bedding just to avoid messing with Duvets.
Thank you for covering multiple options! I have a snap maker so I'll try your favorite!
@@Cee1505 Great, I hope it works great for you!

Thank you so much! I'll get the snaps things they look the easiest 😊
I hope they work wonderfully for you! Thanks for watching!
Thank you! I wish I’d known this years ago 😂
You're so welcome! I'm so glad that this was helpful.
Thank you so much for sharing! Just finished adding snaps to my duvet cover. Such a great idea!
Oh you're so welcome! Thanks for watching my video!
thank you for this video i was wondering why they do not make duvets and covers with snaps in the first place. i was unsure of how to put on cover.. like do i put snap through one side or both. your video helped.
I also wonder why they aren't sold this way. Ikea sells a duvet set that snap to each other so you can have a thin, thick, and super thick option, but not options to actually snap to the duvet. Thanks so much for watching!
I don’t understand how you attached the snaps to the duvet cover. Was it inside out? Did you go through both layers? Your demo on the comforter part was excellent, though.
So sorry for the confusion, I do have a blog post here with step by step pictures if that makes it a bit easier to understand here. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/ But I turn the duvet cover inside out and make a hole with the awl through both layers of the fabric. I try to stay on the extra seam material so the hole for the snap isn't on the portion that is seen when flilpped right side out. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Great idea. Thank you
Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you SO MUCH! And I write this while struggling with the same IKEA one you have. Thanks again💗
so glad this helped, have a great day!
My duvet as already had loops in the corners, so i stitched ribbon in the corners. It works welk as long as you dont accidentally get a double, triple knot. (Ahem. I may, or may notbe saying that I had to cut my duvet loose and resew the ribbon due to that particular faux pas.)
It definitely happens. 😜I think your method is definitely the second best method to snaps, but like you I do struggle getting some of the knots out which is why I prefer the snaps, but everyone has their preferences. :)
Are there links for the snaps and the tool somewhere?

Thank you.. amazing 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

What about two comforters in one cover . I like it puffy like a cloud and realized they keep sliding to bottom
In that case I would use the snaps to snap the two comforters together. A lot of companies sell all season blankets with these snaps so during the summer you use one and then in the winter you snap the two together. Then you can add snaps to both comforters in the corners and use only one to keep the cover in place if that makes sense.
Great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Do you think this would be okay with 100% linen duvet cover?
I would think so, ours are a thin cotton and as long as you unsnap and don't tug really hard to open, I would assume they would hold up just fine.
how do you keep the blanket from sagging at the middle at the top? The ties keep the corners up but for a heavier blanket the middle just sags hard :( And do you need bigger snaps for heavier blankets? We use electric blankets.
I think the snaps are a great option in the middle top , bottom, and sides to keep it from sagging.
@@TheSimpleHaus Okay :) And again, assume I should use larger snaps since the blanket is thicker and heavier?
You definitely or use more snaps and space them a shorter distance.
Thanks heaps for this. Just a question, do the snaps come apart easy when sleeping (particularly if you move around a fair bit)?
I have never had one come apart while sleeping. It only undoes when I personally unsnap them to take off the duvet. Let me know if you have any other questions.
@@TheSimpleHaus cheers thanks for the quick reply! Just purchased and will revert on how it goes once received
Just a follow up - after using them for a few months they work awesome! A clip may undo once in a while (probably after a hard yank/kick whilst sleeping etc.). It is so easy to clip back on though and best to do straight away (otherwise it can lead to others uncoupling more easily). Thanks again!
Grommets on the comforters work well, then just tie using the ties that come with the duvet.
That is another great idea, thanks for sharing!
I didn’t see a link to the tool you use to poke the hole
amzn.to/3K4NTM4 this set comes with one, but here is a link to just an awl if you already have the snap tool. amzn.to/3V0aGBK
My duvet and cover both have ties in the corners, but my issue is more that it bunches in the middle (it's a king size). Have you ever done this in more spots than the corners, and do you think it would work well?
I haven't had to do it because mine doesn't bunch in the middle, but. don't see any reason why it wouldn't work. If you do it, please let us know if it works well for you.
Enjoyed your share🥰very informative!
Thank you!
The most evil thing I've experienced in the world was when I was gifted a bed set for christmas with a duvet cover that not only had the duvet sliding around inside... *IT DID NOT HAVE ANY HOLES AT THE TOP*
Wow that is terrible!!!! That would drive me insane, hope you found a good way to fix it!
I feel like I’m going to add snaps to everything now!
It really is addicting, I'm always like we could use SNAPS! My husband just rolls his eyes 😂
I had a most difficult time attaching these snaps. It took days. The snaps with the spikes ended up for the most part breaking off. I had to keep going over and over replacing the broken spiked snaps with new ones. The comforter is supposedly queen size 86x86 and although the cover was supposed to be the same size it's actually way bigger. The comforter is also heavy so I had to put the snaps in about 7" inches apart. I will never use this system again.
I'm so sorry to hear this didn't work for you. I hope you find another solution that works well for you. Some people in the comments talk about strong magnets working well.
I’ve made a lot of diapers and also had these issues too. Or the whole snap would pop off. I do know that a lot has to do with adding the right amount of pressure and I suspect too much pressure to the snap pliers. Also it’s possible that diapers go through more use and abuse and laundering, so the duvet situation might be better.

If you own a sewing machine, you can make button holes on wide bias tape, Then sew those strips onto the corners. Attach buttons to the duvet cover. These stay secure & are easy to detach/reattach. If you don't have a sewing machine, you can also use elastic & buttons. Sew strong elastic loops onto the corners & attach them around large buttons you've sewed onto the other corners. You can place these also at the mid points for heavier duvets.
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Super, vielen dank!
Gerne! Ich hoffe es hat geholfen.
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Yeah, it works if your duvet cover and duvet insert or paper thin but what if you have a thick duvet insert as well as cover do these things just on snap on their own or they strong enough to hold it and I need some to go in the middle, not the middle, but the top not the edges, but towards the middle becauseit droop down so I’m not sure if the snaps would work I might use Velcro
I think they are definitely strong enough to hold it, but like you mentioned, you might want to add a few extra snaps to make sure it stays in place.
Won’t the corners on the duvet cover look funky if the snap is put through both layers of the duvet cover?
I personally don't think so because it isn't very noticeable once it is on a bed. However, I have added some pictures of a corner in my blog post toward the middle if you would like to see it. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/
do you have any tips on keeping the seam of the duvet lined up with the seat of the comforter?
I'm sorry I'm not 100% sure what you are asking. But if I understood you correctly, I would say to add more snaps on the inside of the cover in the top middle or on either side. It will mean you have more things to snap on, but it will definitely have less shifting. Hope this helps. Let me know if I misunderstood your question.
If you haven't heard of the duvet burrito...look it up. You will love it
Thanks for the comment, I have tried the duvet burrito. For some reason, I wasn't a fan. Maybe I need to give it another try. :)
I don't love anytime I am trying to put on the duvet...but the burrito works better than any I have found. Thanks for the tips! @@TheSimpleHaus
HAHAHA@@YourLifeRE you are definitely so right with that, and I'm so glad you found a method that works for you!
I think the straps are how I'll have to go.
I just got a really nice silk duvet cover and don't want to damage the material
That is probably smart, all of my are a durable cotton.
Hi! Loved this and looking forward to buying those snaps!
If it’s possible, I would love an explanation.. the snap and the snap plier kit links that you placed in the description is all I need to order? Or do I also need to order the snap bulks? Thank you!❤
Hey Gabriella, the snap kit and one order of snaps is enough. I just included the bulk link as well because the more snaps you order the cheaper they are. I use them all the time for random things, but if you only need them for this project, the smaller portion would be plenty. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
@@TheSimpleHaus thank you so much for the quick response!

How do you suggest doing the bottom snaps when you have covers that are a little too long for the doona. I have a down doona and I hate when my cover bags up.
I would add the four snaps in the corners and see how it holds. With a regular fitting Down Blanket, I will fluff the Blanket in its cover as sometimes it does gather in certain spots. However, with the snaps it is just snapping it in the air a few times and done. If it still is bunching, I would add extra snaps to hold in place so it is evenly distributed. For instance, one extra in the top middle and bottom as well as a few on each side so it doesn't all lay on one end or the other. Let us know how it works and thanks for watching!
First of all I would like to THANK YOU for sharing this incredible and simple method as I have like the rest struggled for years to get on the cover and ofcourse the shifting is no fun either. I do want to share here a variation, I tried as I had a few failed snaps due to the thickness and rounded corner of the my comforter edge. What I ended up doing is positioning the snaps about an 1-1.5" (25-38mm) from the edges. This required the snaps on the cover to NOT go through both layers but just one side. It takes some bit of planning to secure the snap. This also helps address the issue with length noted here if the cover is a bit longer or wider you can position snaps accordingly. I'm not sure if there is a way to share a picture but If anyone wants to try this variation happy to share more @@TheSimpleHaus. Thanks again this is a great solution and I plan on using snaps on all my envelope style pillow cover that tend to not hold😀
@@mjain1000 I'm so glad it worked for you, and thank you so much for sharing what worked well for you. That is a genius solution!
I just use a piece of nice rope and tie the 2 corner above to prevent it from slipping down and that is enough. No hassle with all the things needing to be bought, installed or sewed. Also safety pins are bad because winter duvet are quite heavy and can make it open and possible stab you. Also it damage fibers with may cause a hole the other pin thing would cause damage as well but less.
A well tied corner will stay until duvet need to be changed and washed so no needing to put everything inside out to fix or unfix things either just pull the rope on one side and done.
Corner Ties are definitely a great option! My issue was always getting knots undone that my husband tied ☺
what if your duvet cover isn't white? Do you have to buy snaps in every color so they blend in?
Since the snaps are on the inside the color doesn’t matter. You can of course color coordinate, but I just use the same color for all of them. Thanks for watching!
so the corners will be a little bit inside out? I'm still confused! Could you show a close up of the corners once they are done?
@@carmelaklug9997 So sorry for the confusion! Here is a link to a blog post where I show the ends of the duvet. thesimplehaus.com/2022/05/top-way-to-secure-a-duvet-cover/ Here is a video where I show step by step how to put the Duvet cover on with the snaps. ruclips.net/video/sr_3Br0eI6I/видео.html
Can you tell me why my socks and smaller items always end up twisted inside my duvet cover after a run in the dryer?
I have found if I take it out o the washer and kinda of lay it flat in the bottom of the dryer that the chances are a lot lower of getting stuff inside of it. Or I simply line dry them, which is what most people in Europe do. However, sometimes weather doesn't allow that.

Do you know of anything that works for a weighted blanket that doesn’t have any ties or anything?
You could sew on ties or try the snaps. The other options might not be strong enough for a weighted blanket, but I haven't tried it personally.
have you tried anything?
Where do I buy the snaps and what are they called ?
Snaps - amzn.to/3jYWtBt
Snaps Bulk - amzn.to/3vdYccN
Snap Plier Kit - amzn.to/3K4NTM4
Above are the links for the items you need to add the snaps.
The duvet will still slide and one very will very quickly,end up right where it started. It’s sort of obvious that if linen is tied b it will hypothetically straighten out except that it won’t.😊
The snaps work very well in keeping everything in place for me, but I hope you find a method that works for you.
Sorry if this sounds stupid. I understand how you put the snap on the insert portion… But not the duvet cover. How do you put a snap way up in the opposite corner from the zipper inside with that toolYou would have the bunch up a lot of duvet to get the upper snaps opposite of the zipper on the day
This doesn't sound stupid at all! Many people put on duvet covers in different ways. If you go to this video,
ruclips.net/video/sr_3Br0eI6I/видео.html you can see how I put on the duvet covers. I keep the Cover inside out while snapping the duvet blanket to the cover. Then I turn it right side out, and the snaps stay in place holding the corners. If you need more clarification, let me know.

Does/Has anyone tried adding a middle snap along the long sides?
I’m not sure if others have, but I will try it on my king feather blanket so I can show in a video since this is a common question.

I thought of somethin even better, use neodymium magnents, small round ones on ebay, you can get get 10 for 10 bucks. They are the strongest magnets in the world, worked like a charm to keep my insert in place, didnt have to alter my bedding with anything
Great use, just make sure you remove them before washing or you might get a hole in the fabric in the washer to dryer if it sticks to the sides.
@@TheSimpleHaus oh yeah i wouldnt be that silly to leave them on there. Neodymium magnets are very strong, it would be impossible to forget to remove them before washing because it takes alot of effort to remove them once they are held together. You wont be able to remove the duvet insert without removing the magnets. The magnets will never shift around. Its been perfect
Great idea, but how do you attach the magnet to the duvet/duvet cover?
@@Monica111960 put the insert into the duvet, place a neodymium magnet on the inside and another on the outer side of duvet. Only use neodymium magnents because they are the strongest. I paid 10$ for 10 of them on ebay. Keeps everything in place nice and secure
@@Monica111960 amzn.to/3w6hb8L you could try these sew in magnets
Omg. For clarity, what you’re calling a “blanket” is the duvet. What you called the “duvet” is the duvet cover! No wonder people are confused
Okay
Too much trouble. Too complicated.
I hope you find a way that works for you.
Just not helpful at all
@@TheSimpleHaus I've just tried with pins 1,5 inches long as I saw on a video. I'll see if it works. What I can say is the pins can't be seen, which is good.
Use silicone cable ties and wrap the end of your duvet, along with the duvet cover string onto it. After a few wraps, fold the end of the duvet again over the cable and continue wrapping till its tight. Then tie your duvet string.
Thanks for giving us another method! I will have to try this out.
I do not understand this method at all.
Very helpful. Thanks!
