How do you keep your down duvet from leaking feathers?

I don't have a solution. I have tiny feathers around the room every day even with the duvet cover on at all times.

I am thinking of getting a cover that has more thread counts. Honestly, I love the down, just don't like the coughing that comes with the tiny feathers in my bed.

EASY....
You are I hope using a cover with your 'duvet'?
Well now you will need 2.
You put a very plain one on first, then the one you normally would cover it with.Sure a little extra work...but what's 2 mins extra.Make sure the first plain one is cotton 100% so it can breath.Very cheap to buy at say K-Mart.

You will also find, it give's the 'duvet' that 'Magazine Look', because it keeps it all fluffed up, and looks and feels great!

If you have not ever used a cover, you really should.At night we sweat, and it will keep your 'duvet', from smelling in time of your perspiration.

But because of the feather's 2 cover's are sometimes needed...Don't worrie they still give amazing snuggle time and keep you warm.

I've never had this problem with my current duvet. I use a winter one that is quite thin.

Mine is very fluffy, but sometimes there are tiny feathers on the bed.

Simple, don't buy one with feathers. I don't like the idea. They may be comfortable and fluffy, luxurious and all, but I hate the idea of ducks being plucked for their feathers...

Don't have a down doona. Way too hot in our sub-tropical Winter.

I use a poly one, & IF it turns a bit more chilly, cotton thermal goes atop.

I sleep, all year round, with THREE old doona's under my base sheet, which stops cold seeping from ground, through floor boards, & thick mattress, to me!

Buy an alpaca one, an expensive one or a non feather one.
