Possibly the dumbest doona cover question ever...

[Taurean]

I've had this happen a few times too and yes, it drives me batty!! I have found each time it's when I put the doona in the wrong way though. King size, in particular, do appear square but they aren't. One side is definitely longer than the other. I make sure I measure the doona sides with my arms stretched out (as far as they will reach, like measuring lengths of rope) to find the longer side. That seems to do the trick!

On a side note, I also hate that the sheet set I bought from Target don't fit properly! The top sheet only just covers the bed and can only be tucked in on one side! Even the doonas are a little short. What's with that?? Is our king mattress too deep for standard king bedding? So annoying!!

You need to buy the 'deeper' sheets- target sells them.
I think they're 60 CMs deep from memory.

I sew ribbons in the inside corners and onto the corners of the doona so I can tie it in!

Taurean we have the same gripe.....! We recently got a king bed an assumed the sheets would actually fit, we only have Sheridan sheets.

Mylitta is the doona around the right way???

*light bulb moment* Oooh, I'm so going to have to check mine now!! It's been doing that and I'm the one who ends up with no blimmin' doona! Not DH who kicks it all off anyway. I was thinking about sewing a button into each of the corners and then a little loop of ribbon onto the corners of the doona so it can't flipping well move. I have a super-king doona and cover which is so heavy and cumbersome to fix in the morning too.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh PITA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love the ribbon idea! I've also considered adding buttons on the inside to keep the doona in place. I think ribbons would be easier though. I swear there are so many times I've had a horizontal tantrum under the doona trying to get it to spread out properly. You know, kicking and thrashing it into place? Yeah, doesn't work. But ribbons... genius!
