To think DH is wrong to get angry over this...I can't help it!

[MattDillonsPants]

DH says that all night long, every night I steal all the duvet. He says he's spending most of the night either cold and waking up or pulling the duvet back from me.

He's literally angry about it but what can I do? I'm completely unaware of this situation! He says I could make a "conscious" choice not to do it BEFORE I go to sleep and that this would make it stop.

I disagree.

But more importantly what the heck do we DO about it? Practically I mean? We don't want to sleep separately.

Wool?

Steeping outside the box here my dh constantly tucks me in then complains he has no duvet meanwhile I feel like a boil in the bag murder victim. We accidentally solved it when I bought a nice heavy bedthrow -Habitat closing down sale creamy golden gorgeousness but I digress-- that gets folded/pushed to end of bed and weights the duvet down. He sleeps with his feet sticking out I have to have mine covered so it never moves on my side. There is never an argument in my house as when I sleep on my own I wake up in a bed that looks almost perfectly made, he wakes up in a destroyed Young Ones style pit so we know it's him.

Get him to buy himself a sleeping bag

Wool ?

So Give HIM the wool quilt you already have, and get yourself a cheaper 4 seasons.

What about putting on a sheet so he can go under that as well as the duvet and then if you steal the duvet he at least has a sheet covering him.

Madd where did I say we already HAVE a wool quilt? We don't. DH just wants one this time!

Okay, a real life, genuine, as it is, not a hotel or advertising photo picture of a bed made with two duvets. Mine. It looks tidy. doesn't it?

Two duvets. Or when ds gets into my bed and steals the duvet, I sleep with a bit of he duvet underneath me so it can't be stolen!

I suggest that you each have your own blanket-type object. Duvets are popular.

You're in Australia? Perfect! .

Or, try two duvets.

You will have to split up then. You don't want another duvet

I don't want to buy two new duvets!

Stop getting arsey with people.

SwanneeKazoo I love it. might get one for each in our family

So if he's already decided to buy a new duvet, then the problem is sorted, isn't it?

Let him buy what he wants and stop having a go at people here.

My DH and I were having this problem, but we are both short so I just turn the duvet so it's lying horizontal rather than vertical. That way we both have plenty of duvet to wrap up in and still fit DD in the bed too. Our duvet is longer than it is wide.

In Scandinavia EVERYONE has 2 duvets (and separate mattresses not a big one...except us that is ). So just say you want a Scandi feel to your bedroom .

We are a two duvet couple! It's the only way.

Buy one that is clearly labelled

I don't want to buy two new duvets!

And he doesn't want someone pulling the duvet off him all night.

Actually, he's not entirely wrong about you making a conscious resolution before you sleep not to steal the duvet. That sort of thing can work. The person doing it has to mean it though and be consistent about it - you may have to do it more than once, so every night.

I have done it myself, and I know people who have done it. The mind is an amazing thing!

In Germany most couples sleep with 2 single duvets

Baroness I love the colour of your bedroom

Haha thanks ducky

Course I was bored OP why else would I join in the three page thread on duvets where the answer was repeated as infinitum?! Just happened to find your attitude to your dh a bit irritating because mine wakes me up all night too grinding his teeth. No he can't 'help' doing it but he could get a mouth guard - doesn't want to as its too expensive. I think being able to sleep through the night is bloody priceless!

Therefore you whining about having to buy him a wool duvet is bloody irritating. You're the problem, be the solution.

2 double doonas here with a bedspread over the top for pretty.

Target/Kmart carry wool doonas. Nice and cheap.

Went to Denmark, where they are clearly geniuses (genii?) and guess what... there were two duvets. (A new duvet or even two new duvets has GOT TO BE CHEAPER THAN DIVORCE, it's an investment!)
(We now have two duvets and Beloved Spouse can turn herself into a caterpillar).
