Baby sleeping on duvet, worried sick

We bought a travel cot prior to a weekend away. I stupidly didn’t check it when it arrived. We’ve arrived at our weekend away and the ‘mattress’ is basically a series of foldable boards with a little foam on top. She screams lying on it and rightly so, it’s awful. I bought a brand new king sized duvet last week which was in the car and unopened. DD (9.5 months) was absolutely knackered and I needed to put her to bed. I’ve resorted to folding the king duvet (10 tog so quite thick 😩) around the ‘mattress’ and tucking it under. She’s absolutely sound asleep but the duvet is bunching a little. She sleeps on her front and I’m worried sick - WWYD. I haven’t taken my eyes off the monitor. We’re not staying in a hotel and there is no opportunity to buy a new mattress, we’ll do this tomorrow. How dangerous is this? I’m having kittens (yes she’s my first born)

Oh @DuckPie you should never have had to read that and the other comments from people giving dangerous misinformation and dismissing completely valid concerns. Some people are just too pigheaded for words.

Just looking through some of the advice on this thread... There's some good advice but there's a lot of unsafe advice here too.

I urge anyone reading this to visit www.lullabytrust.org.uk

They have up to date research and advice on safe sleep including how to bedshare safely... It's a very informative site.
