Relationship Advice



O and I are both duvet stealers however we have come up with an ingenious solution to this issue - which used to cause a lot of sleepy arguments.

I didn't realise it was quite so ingenious until I shared it with my sisters and friends, they'd never considered it. Apologies if I'm telling you something you already know.

We have a standard UK double bed - so not awfully big. However (drum roll please) we have a king size duvet!!! So there are no more fights, the duvet is so enormous that it covers us both just fine. But still allows me to stick my leg out the side to regulate my temperature and allows O to tuck himself into a little cocoon without leaving me coverless.

I can not recommend this solution enough. From now on we will always buy a duvet bigger than the bed.

  1. I love this idea! Ingenious! As soon as we need a new duvet it will be king size!

  2. I stick my leg out too. Also, when I was little and shared family-trip hotel beds with my brother we had the same awful covers fight. Our (similar) solution - two duvets. I like the king-size creativity here!

  3. Sounds good, think we should of thought of that when we got our lovely duvet last year!

  4. Always a fabulous idea. Although we don't have a huge duvet recently I have been resorting to bringing another to bed so I can wrap up and have a leg out and Bean can have his own. We still snuggle under his!

  5. O's parents have the two duvet solution - so they can have different thicknesses as well. Often in the summer O gets his own duvet as he finds the king size duvet too warm.

  6. I never thought about that. That makes so much sense! My fiance says I am always taking the covers.

  9. Ha! Glad to hear other people with duvet issues - it's such a taboo! ;) In the summer, we have two singles as I'm always cold and the other half is always far too hot – when we shared one, he would usually manage to pull the whole thing off in the middle of the night and I'd wake up freezing with no idea where my duvet had gone! God knows what he'd do with a king size duvet!! ;D
