Turning a feather bed into a duvet?
Can you use a feather bed as a Duvet if you get a duvet cover? Would it work?
It might. You can try getting some baby safety pins or large safety pins. You turn the duvet inside out and lay it on top. Then you pin it onto the feather bed and slowly trun it rite side out. You kind of have to get into it to do this. You want to get a duvet cover that has a large opening at the bottom. That is the whole bottom is open with buttons or something. There are even duvet clips. They are metal clips covered in soft foam. They work best. You might also try seweing grosgrain ribbions to the feather bed. The problem you are going to have with this conversion is that if you are using a queen feather bead on a queen bed it will be shorter than the bed and duvet cover most likely. You may have to go down a duvet size or make your own using sheets or fabric. Remember you can usually return things, so you can try and find out. Also many duvet covers are already made of sheets so it is not a big deal if you have to make one. You will just have to rely on some blankets underneath and that will be a top quilt. I think it is a good idea especially if it is not working for you as a feather bed. You might as well recycle it.
Go ahead and measure your feather bed and then take the dimensions to the store. Linens in things has those duvet clips. Return the whole set if you do not like it and do not get one of those horrible duvet covers I got the 1st time with one little hole to stuff the whole thing through. That is a nightmare. I have found wonderfull duvet covers that work from llbean. They have cotton in all colors and they have flannel. They have such a wide varitey of prints.
The dude above will feel pretty silly when he wrongly corrected you. He is the wrong one. He is speaking of a bidet
