How can I keep my down comforter to "stay put" in its duvet cover?

This is my first time living on my own and caring for a nice down comforter... It just always seems that by the end of the week, my comforter has squished to the end of the bed inside the duvet. My duvet doesn't have any ties to keep it in place, nor does my comforter have loops to be tied onto. I know this sounds like a silly question, but it's really starting to bug me. Help!

How can I keep my down comforter to "stay put" in its duvet cover?
Here's the lazy way, get 4 good sized safety pins.


Pin thru the seam at each corner of the comforter


and then attach to the inside seams at the corner of


the duvet cover. Works great for me....and I can


sew and do all the loops and ribbons things but


I am too lazy- so this is how I do it. Just find safety


pins that are at least 1- 1 1/2 ' long. When I am


ready to launder the duvet cover, I just unpin from


the cover but leave the pins on each corner of


the comforter, then I am ready to re pin into a clean


cover when I remake the bed.
Reply:try putting some velcro along the inside top and bottom of the cover and on the comforter. that should keep it in place!
Reply:Try getting a needle and thread and making a few tacks to hold it in place. Just stitch it a couple of time in each corner and maybe four places in the middle section.





That should permanently solve the problem and be really easy to take out if you ever want to buy a new duvet.
