For some reason most duvet covers fasten with you-know-whats. My husband recently bought me a beautiful new duvet cover that I knew, the moment I looked at it, would have b's on it. Our old duvet cover had a nice safe zip on the bottom but was, unfortunately, quite ugly. Sure enough the new duvet cover did have b's. They weren't on the bottom. They are placed about a quarter of the way from the bottom and are covered by a flap of material. The design reminds me of an envelope. My husband tried to convince me that because they were covered by material it would be okay. Who does he think he's kidding?! They are the worst kind - big, red and shiny. Enough to make me feel physically ill. My husband is supposed to cutting them off. The scissors that he cuts them off with will have to be discarded along with them. I would never be able to use them again. He hasn't done so yet though so I am reduced to sleeping with socks on (in May!) curled up in the fetal position lest my feet stray down into the button zone and inadvertantly rub against them. My sleep is so disturbed. Tonight we're out of town and I've never been so glad to sleep in a hotel bed.

Who comes up with these duvet designs anyway?
