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!
I just sewed extra straps by hand onto mine but still needs something and Now I need your snaps.
@@sirendancer4677 Well if you get the snaps, I do hope they work well for you!
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.
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?
Very good point, some manufacturers have the ties sewn in, but it is definitely hit or miss
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.
Oh this is another great idea, thanks so much for sharing!
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
I'm soo excited for you, especially if you already have the tool. I hope it works out well and thanks for watching!
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!
Wow what a perfect idea! I don’t use a flat sheet, so I never thought to do that, but thank you soo much for sharing!!
In Europe, flat sheets are eliminated when you use a duvet.
@@JayzeVo17 Yup, I'm half German, and I grew up with Duvets instead of flat sheets.
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.
I'm so glad, and I hope it works really well for you!! Thanks so much for watching.
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!! ❤️❤️
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.
I really hope it works out for you!! Thanks for watching!
This is a great idea. I’d thought of it but wasn’t sure how to do it. Thanks for a great tutorial
Thanks so much for watching, and I hope it works really well for you!
This is amazing! What a straightforward and easy solution!
Thanks! I hope that it works well for you if you decide to try it out yourself.
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!
This was by far the most helpful video I've watched so far! Thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for watching! Have a great day!
Thank you for an awesome video! Full of options plus a how-to. I like the snap option.
Thanks for watching!
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!
I am so glad that this solution will help you! Let us know how it goes for you. Thanks for watching!
After looking at reviews of all kinds of clips, I saw this. Thx for explaining the pros/cons of the choices. I used snaps and it works great
I’m so glad that it worked well for you too!!
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!!
I'm so glad to help, and that is super cool that you already have the snaps and tool!
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.
Thanks for the video. I never heard about these snaps.
You're welcome, and thanks for watching!
Enjoyed your share🥰very informative!
Thank you!
Very helpful, thank you!
Thanks 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!
Nicest Video. liked the solution covered. Best Solution in fact and covered all possible options. Altogether Great Channel for home improvement.
Thank you so much!! Thanks for watching, and I hope you have a great day!
Great video. Thank you
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much! I'll get the snaps things they look the easiest 😊
I hope they work wonderfully for you! Thanks for watching!
I think snaps were what I was looking for. My duvet was driving me nuts. Thanks 🙏
Oh I'm so glad!!
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
I'm trying out these tomorrow. I have been struggling with this issue for years! Will update.
Oh wonderful! I hope you like them, like I said in the video they have been working wonderfully for me for over 12 years.
How did it go??
It’s been over a year where’s the update lol
Wow.....hope this will work with metal tich/snapp buttons
I don't see how it wouldn't. They might take a bit longer to attach if they are the kind you sew in, but they should work just fine.
Thank you been looking for something effective and to make an effort once to install but not ugly or a nuisance
I'm glad you like it! Thanks for watching and the comment.
Super, vielen dank!
Gerne! Ich hoffe es hat geholfen.
Thank you.. amazing 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thank you for watching!
Genius!
Thank you!
Thank you! I wish I’d known this years ago 😂
You're so welcome! I'm so glad that this was helpful.
This is super, specially for someone like me who is too bad with stiching...
I'm so glad you like it too!
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!
Im trying this thank you! Also where did you find your duvets inserts?! Ive been looking for some lightweight ones.
@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.......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!
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.
@@TheSimpleHaus good plan, I'll try that, thank you. My kit should arrive today, I'm looking forward to fixing this 😊
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!
@@thechillykitty Thanks for the update, I am so glad that it also worked for you!
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. :)
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!
@@gabriellatopaz6695 sure thing! Thanks for watching.
You have beautiful eyes
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 will give that a go@@TheSimpleHaus
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 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 😂
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 ☺
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/

@@TheSimpleHaus thank you!!!
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.
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.
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.
Put them in a lingerie bag
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. kzhead.info/sun/ptaYY6aqZ5d_aYE/bejne.html

Thanks for watching!
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, kzhead.info/sun/ptaYY6aqZ5d_aYE/bejne.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.
Gruff
Thanks for watching1
The music does not fit. Thanks for the info!
I’m glad you liked the information!
Crazy idea: duvet and duvet cover manufacturers could just add ties and snaps to them in the first place. This is ridiculous.
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.
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 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
