Duvet covers with poppers

[campanula]

The usual plastic poppers on duvets are shit, tbh. I replaced all the crap poppers with decent metal snaps and bought a tool for the purpose. I have such a thing called a gingersnapper - around 40 years old and was used (as a home sewist) when those shirts with pearlised poppers became popular and babygros became a thing, but I can't find the right studs for it so I mostly just use a Prym press-stud fastener.
I don't like buttons, vecro, or flaps - all have their drawbacks. Zips are effective, but hard to find a zipped duvet cover. If you are going to have poppers, I definitely think they need to be sturdier than the plastic ones...which invariably fail to properly connect.

Don't ever send duvets with plastic poppers to a commercial laundry.

The poppers get distorted / melted by whatever machinery those places use to bulk dry, press / iron the covers.

I know 'cos I got given a load of damaged covers for loco cleaning rags ...

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.

We have both buttons and poppers, neither come undone in the night.

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.

no fighting over or stealing of the duvet either.
It has the benefit/flaw of not being able to share farts very well.
when changing our duvets at the weekend I noticed mrs tags duvet cover was missing several buttons whilst my buttons were all ontact.
