If you find yourself constantly playing tug-of-war with your sleeping-partner other during the night, then you might need to completely reassess your sleeping style. Whether you are the blanket-hog or you sleep with a blanket-hog, consider sleeping like the Europeans do. From Scandinavia to central Europe, you will find many homes and hotels provide two duvets and duvet covers together on one bed.

That’s right, two duvets on one bed. It sounds strange, but it really makes a lot of sense. Aside from ending your long game of tug-of-war, sleeping with two duvets instead of one allows you to wash and dress your bed much easier and even allows you to customize the level of warmth for each person by using a heavier or lighter insert with each duvet cover.  

Julia, editor of Pawley Island Posh also advocates this way of sleeping:

My husband and I sleep with separate sheets. That includes duvet covers. You can eye-roll all you want but for two restless light sleeper cover-hogs this is a genius strategy.  As far as making the bed with two duvets, one gets laid out underneath the top blanket and the other folded at the end of the bed.

We know this sleeping style sounds a bit foreign, however, it can make for a very chic and cozy looking bed that is sure to provide a better night’s sleep for all.

To get the look, here is what you need:

1. Two twin comforters (or duvets).
2. Two twin duvet covers. Try this fun blue patterned duvet cover or something with lots of texture, like this white pintuck duvet cover.
3. Matching shams and sleeping pillows.
4. A fitted sheet only (go ahead and ditch that top sheet).
5. A blanket or throw to fold at the foot of the bed. This brings the  bed together and unites the two duvet covers.
6. And for the finishing touch, chic throw pillows!
