I love them </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583317 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 15:13:41 +0000 shopaholic 583317@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! I love our duvets and down blankets! Even though I have allergies and generally use a allergen cover and/or down alternative pillows, I never have a problem with the down blankets! We have 3 duvet covers and I still use flat sheets - they get washed every week. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583265 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:59:58 +0000 Dandelion 583265@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We need one...dh has a down comforter that need to be covered. I think we're gonna get one this weekend. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583260 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:58:51 +0000 bunnylove08 583260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use to but my husband is a crazy sleeper and he finds a way of taking the blanket out of the duvet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583191 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:46:15 +0000 pelikila 583191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: Depending on the manufacturer, the duvet will have ties inside at the corners to hold the comforter in place. Not all of them do though so that is something to look for when shopping. And many of the nice down comforters will have loops at the corner for those ties. And if it doesn' thave the loops just put the tie around the corner like a ponytail. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583167 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:40:07 +0000 MrsTiz 583167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: I think I might go for it, and if it starts making me mad I can just sew it lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583154 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:39:04 +0000 PurplePumps 583154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTiz: I had a problem with it staying as a kid and used to sew down the corners. I (surprisingly) haven't had any problems with our king sized one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583140 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:35:52 +0000 MrsTiz 583140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay, I was wondering about this the other day.</p> <p>How do you keep your blanket from moving around inside? I had a duvet when I was a kid and my blanket would always get wadded up inside it.</p> <p>It seems like for every 10 bespreads there are, 9 of them are duvets so I need to figure this out lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583120 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:31:23 +0000 BSB 583120@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@prettylizy: I love down but DH has allergies. Good to know there's a good alternative. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583049 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:19:40 +0000 Bao 583049@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes we love our duvet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583047 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:19:32 +0000 softcream 583047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yep, and we've had the same duvet cover for several years now too (which we wash of course). i didn't even know that some people didn't use duvets! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-583039 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:18:31 +0000 Foodnerd81 583039@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup, we have a down or down alternative comforter and duvet and I love the way it feels. We never switch them out though, just wash the cover sometimes. I think we should get a heavier comforter to put in it in the winter though-- currently we have a sheet, blanket, and duvet/comforter, and then the blankets get tangled and i get annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582970 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:06:05 +0000 meredithNYC 582970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love duvets for the exact reason that it's easier to switch things out. Plus, like @PurplePumps, I am obsessed with the comfort of down. We have a super warm one that we got on major sale at Macy's, but I think we might have to switch it out come summer and use a lighter one. Still totally worth it, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582969 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:06:00 +0000 prettylizy 582969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep, I love it and so does DH. Never too hot or too cold. Ours is down alternative for DH's allergies though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582966 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:05:39 +0000 mediagirl 582966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup. I'm all about feathers!! We have a light quilt for summertime. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582963 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:05:32 +0000 mrs. wagon 582963@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes!! I love down blankets (or alternative down) in duvets as well! I love Ikea bedding (it gets so soft as it gets older) and we have 3 or 4 Ikea duvets, and a few others as well. </p> <p>Although when we were washing all the duvets at once after the holidays and they weren't dry by the time I wanted to go to bed, I put a flat sheet under the comforter and another flat sheet over the comforter (I've seen some hotels do that instead of use a duvet). It was such a nice change that I still have it that way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582961 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:04:49 +0000 JoJoGirl 582961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. We have a pretty expensive down blanket that's a great investment and doesn't need to be replaced basically ever. We can't wash it so duvets are a must. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-582956 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:03:54 +0000 PurplePumps 582956@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. I love the feel of down blanket in a duvet cover. I have 2 or 3 duvet covers that I change around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-use-duvets#post-581570 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 14:00:00 +0000 BSB 581570@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't. We always buy a new comfortable every year or so but I see our past comforters taking up storage space. I wonder if I should try buying duvets instead of whole bedding sets. </p> <p>I guess all I would need is to buy a nice blanket and just change the duvet now and then. </p> <p>Do you use duvets? </p>
