Don't get your comforters in a bunch

I hate when the comforter is skulking at the foot of the bed and all I am left with is a double layer of the duvet cover to fend off the cold. Down comforters ...I am talking to you. Someone came up with an idea: Comforter clips! Available at Bed Bath and Beyond for only $5.99.

Or if you are handy with a needle you could sew buttons on the four corners of the comforter and elastic loops on the four inside corners of the duvet.

Martha Stewart suggests twill ties (of course she would)....6-inch strips of narrow twill tape -- four pieces of one color and four of another. This requires some hand sewing and the two different color tapes and so that you can match up the comforter ties to the duvet ties (smart!).

With any of these, start with laying the duvet cover inside out on the bed. Attach the four corners and turn the cover inside out over the comforter. Done! On your way to a toasty night's sleep my friend.
