I have a duvet and I think it’s great. It’s thick, warm and comfortable. I also like that when it gets a bit dirty, I can remove the duvet cover and throw it in the washing machine and the dryer. The only annoying part of it is that the duvet sometimes moves around a bit inside the cover. It bunches up in places, and the corners especially don’t seem to want to stay in place for very long. I only heard about duvet holders recently, and have not gotten any yet. But I did a bit of research and found that there are basically two kinds available. First is the duvet doughnut, which comes in two parts. The disc-like part goes on one side of the duvet cover, and the ring-like part goes on the other side, sort of snapping together with the duvet and the cover between the two parts of the donuts. They are made of see-through plastic, so they don’t clash with the color of the duvet cover.

The other type are comforter cover clips, which look a little like big plastic binder clips. They are simpler to use: just clip the duvet in place so that it cannot slide inside its cover. Some are apparently foam covered, which is a good idea, since you may come into contact with them while sleeping. They are more visible than the donuts.

These are not to be confused with quilt clips which, from what I can gather, are mainly used to hang a quilt on the wall. There is also a product called quilt clips which is made to be used only to make placing a new duvet cover easier. They hold the corners while you place the cover, and then are removed.
