Confused by the previous night’s “Ground Hog” days experience, (Multiple experience’s of the same actual sleep/awake period) I arose with an agenda to find a “solution”. I tried fastening a loop of rope around the end of the mattress!
Unfortunately during the night this loop somehow became very tight around my toe, and I ended up dangling in a noose, struggling to get free! I felt like Houdini trying to escape from a straight jacket.
Eventually I managed to get free, and make my way further up the bed, to ponder just how on earth I managed to get into such a mess!
Now I’m thinking could the solution be to use a single duvet, to avoid the excess weight of the double duvet hanging over the side(s).
A single duvet made a huge difference.
I laughed and winced at the same time, thank goodness it was just your toe that got tied up. I have no proven solution for migrant duvets, I’ve thought about sewing Velcro tabs to the duvet to keep it in place but never got around to trying it out. In any case, Adam (who still sleeps in our bed most nights) usually helps the duvet migrate south with his kicking.
I hope the single duvet works for you !
Lots of love

At first I couldn’t understand the problem you were attempting to solve with a loop of rope. Perhaps, I thought, your solution for all intractable problems is a loop of rope, rather like a cat’s response to every difficult situation being to have a good wash! Now I see, and I’m left wondering if a bed with a duvet is like a car ferry with a leak. Both are inherently unstable, and only require a very small deviation from the desired central position for a disastrous runaway catastrophe to occur. Whoever invented duvets had never been on a leaky ferry.
Happy nights, Richard.
