Duvet covers with poppers

[maomao]

Anyway I choose covers based on liking the pattern not by the opening so whatevs.

I go by material, opening type and potential to clash horrifically with my wife's duvet.

No, I'm not talking about trying to change duvet covers whilst on amyl nitrate.

That's probably good fun - you should try it and report back.

People still buy patterned duvet covers? I thought they were last seen in a 1990s Argos catalogue.

You must have at least one that makes it look like you're driving a Formula One?

They must be popular as they're still on sale, but I've always preferred plain white.

Some of them have zips now, you know. A boon for the modern homemaker.

I like the envelope ones..
No buttons
No poppers
Just like a giant pillowcase with the fold inside bit on the end.

If you have to phone them up, it defeats the point of online shopping.

Also i don't know much about Dunelm, are they any good?

They're filed in my head as Tory doners.

Here we also have loops on the quilt and two tapes on the inside corners of the cover so you can tie it in, adding greatly to the fiddle factor but at least holding in place once done. Don't recall them at home. See zips haven't been mentioned either, are they frowned on? Never been scraped by the ones on ours.

Amazing. I detest shifting duvets. I've considered sewing some sort of anchor myself.

zips

That just sounds wrong for bedding.

Probably go well with poppers then.

It is disconcerting to find that Saul Goodman is the only normal person here who understands that the popper ones are useless because the duvet just falls out of them as soon as you roll over in the night so they are not even designed to do the job of covering your duvet and should be banned.

 

[Saul Goodman]

Press studs don't come undone unless you're foolish enough to buy a duvet with crap ones.

They might be OK for a small, light hollowfibre duvet, but they're a bit shit on a decent 15 tog super king size Hungarian goose down duvet.

Here is a leather duvet cover suitable for both zips and poppers.

Don't ask me - you're probably the one with such bedding.

I recently bought one from Primark of all places. The cotton is high thread count, and feels really nice next to the skin. It’s poppers.

 

[dessiato]

I like the leather one. It would be very uncomfortable here though.

They're not shit if you don’t get a shit one, i.e. one that has decent poppers and a less than full width opening. In fact I’d happily be suspended in mine over a pit of lava because I’m confident the poppers would hold my weight and I wouldn’t fall to my death. However I bet you wouldn‘t stand a chance in your foldy flap one.

I don't have a foldy flap one. I have button ones and press stud ones. None of them were cheap but the press stud ones are shit, because press studs on duvet covers are a fucking stupid idea.

Much more important is the thread count...go for the highest you can afford.
Also, if theres two of you, a duvet each.

But a lot less time than buttons to get on although they do have a tendency to get mis shaped in the tumbler

One bed two duvets works.

Scandi style. It is si much warmer. No air gaps between you. You just wrap up in your own duvet and your partner in theirs.
You can have a different weight / tog etc...buttons or poppers or whatever you want.

Poppers/ press studs ace.

Buttons fiddly but very secure.

Folding,

Completely useless. Surprisingly ‘Mericans only have these. A country forged in technology, that went to the moon, (with help) invented nuclear weapons and created the pop-tart and they only have sub standard duvet covers.

A pet peeve of mine is OH not doing up poppers or buttons prior to washing the duvet. Which means said duvet acts as a Seine net and swallows up all fellow laundry items.

Ive never had duvet poppers come undone during the night - sign of a boring life?

 

[NoXion]

It's funny seeing all the posts saying that buttons are more secure, when the buttons on my duvet cover seem to come undone on a fairly frequent basis.

That's very annoying - it tends to tie itself into knots which are a bugger to undo while it is damp. The buttons on mine never come undone NoXion - maybe it's down to their design and how much wriggle room the slots have. I'm sure there is a proper name for button slots but can't be bothered to look it up.

Maybe a buttonhole?
