There ARE clips that remain on the outside that are decorative and functional. They come in a variety of colors. You can find them online at handyaccents.com.

Good question! They get clipped on the outside of each corner when everything is inside-out, so when you pull everything so that it’s rightside-in, there’s no clip that’s visible (and they’re coated in soft foam so you don’t even feel them through the duvet either). Hope it helps!

I don’t quite get it- so does that mean you have a hard plastic duvet clip in each corner of your comforter?

What?! I didn’t even know something like duvet clips existed… where have I been hiding? This is amazing!

I have shared the same experiences with the duvet/cover crisis as you have and so many of you have devised some great fixes. I do have an alternative to the clips on the market today.

In an attempt to resolve my problem, I created duvet clips that are both functional and decorative. I was so pleased with how they kept my duvet from shifting and how they add a great touch of embellishment that I am now offering my own line of hand made and hand painted clips. Take a look at them on http://www.duvetcoverclips.com.

with two cats running around our house, a duvet cover became a must to keep our comforter out of the washing machine as often as it needed it. to save on water, we got the cover. it had built-in loops in the inside corners so you could tie your duvet to the corners of the cover, but our comforter didn’t have ties! an old ribbon cut to 4 pieces and a few quick (and slightly sloppy) stitches later our comforter is now attached to the duvet cover snugly. at least at the corners! there’s still some shifting within the duvet cover, so i’m thinking of adding more loops and ties, probably at the halfway mark of each side of the comforter. i think that’ll do it!

I love duvets and duvet covers but it drives me bonkers when the comforter shifts around. So I must be living under a rock, but I hadn’t heard of duvet clips but luckily there’s a Bed Bath & Beyond on the way home…Hooray!

I think someone briefly mentioned this above, but it’s worth noting again: those upholstery pins are a lifesaver when it comes to couch slipcovers. Mine was always a mess so I was constantly straightening it and as soon as someone sat down there went all my hard work! If you strategically place the pins under the arms of the couch through the slipcover and under the cushions, into the gaps — your slipcover will be secure. No more straightening, well at least not my normal 5 times a day, More like 1 a week.
