Could duvet hogging cause relationship problems?

Published: 12 June 2012

Battles over the duvet are the leading cause of bedroom arguments.

I love my duvet cover and I must admit that occasionally I wake up to find my husband shivering beside me after I have ensconced myself in it during the night.

According to him, the most annoying thing about my duvet hogging habit is that I even steal it during the summer and use it as a giant pillow to wrap myself around.

Generally, I find this all rather funny and, in my opinion, he knows he can just wake me up and take the covers back when he gets too cold.

However, according to new research, the battle over bedding is the main cause of arguments in Britain’s bedrooms.

Furthermore, one in ten adults claimed that they would consider leaving their partner because of their disturbed night’s sleep caused by duvet battles. 

Consequently, I have decided to invest in another set of bedding that my husband can use should my behaviour get too much to bear. If you’re a duvet hogger, you may want to do the same.
