Duvet issues

9 replies

My three year old, who admittedly has never been a good sleeper, now wakes multiple times a night because she's kicked her duvet off.

I've seen the gro company's duvet system which is designed to keep the duvet on the bed, but I'm not sure as it's quite pricey and I don't know how restrictive it will be for her.

Does anyone have any experience with this, or other solutions?

TIA Thanks

Can you get her just a traditional sleeping bag? Or try a bigger duvet than needed and tuck it under the mattress but because it's bigger there'll be plenty of room underneath but it won't get lost?

Is it worth just putting her in really warm PJ's (fleecey ones) and ditching the duvet altogether?

Thank you. Great suggestions. I think we're going to try a big duvet & tuck tonight. But I've got some fleecy pjs lined up too if that doesn't work!

Oh that's very clever, those clips. I haven't seen those before. Although she is still in a cotbed so not sure these will fit.

We had a slightly better night with the big duvet with only two waking a, and one of those was because the pillow had fallen out of the bed Confused

I turned the duvet round 90 degrees for a while so there was a big tuck in. Also used to move the bedside table forwards to stop the pillow going.

We've gone for fleecy pjs and socks.

Mine have a single duvet on a toddler bed. I turn it sideways and tuck a third of it under the mattress on the wall side and then the last third under on the near side. Kids climb in the middle.

Thanks everyone. We're trialling 'big duvet tucked sideways' tonight!
