Yuk! Hannah, you have all my sympathy. If you look back at some of
my posts here you will see that duvet covers with buttons are my pet
horror. I am terrified that one day I will go to a hotel and they
will have that sort of duvet cover! I don't know how you are
sleeping at all, I don't think I could - I would have to sleep on
the floor!
And I quite agree, the fact that they are covered is no help at all.
You could still feel them, I'm sure, all lumpy and horrible
(shudders).
Tell your husband to get the nasty things cut off as soon as
possible!

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.
