    I can't really help you because I've never had that problem, other than the suggestions made by others but hopefully someone will give you some helpful suggestions that you can try.

    I haven't made a quilt big enough for a king size bed, so my husband and I each have our own quilts - problem solved.

    You just need an anchor at the foot of your bed. A cat would do nicely! My cat knows that is one of his jobs!!

    I think if you place a flat flannel sheet between the two quilts, that will stop the top quilt from sliding off the underneath quilt.

Well, picture me with the cover going across the bed, similar to an HST as he pulls mine over to his side. I end up with almost none! I have to get up in the middle of the night to straighten the covers so he will give me some. I'm not complaining too loud, after all, he is a keeper. I've had him for 48 1/2 years and he's still a good guy.

    I have found that using flannel on the back of a quilt really keeps it in place on the bed. Even he can't get it kicked off to the point where we both are cold. Cotton Sateen sheets, my favorite, and quilts with cotton backings seem to just slide around on each other too much for his active nights.
    my husband too sleeps all over the place but blames me for stealing covers too funny

    Get an animal to sleep at the foot of the bed and they keep everything in place.

    Mine, too. I think it's because he comes with a natural fur coat. I'm not complaining - it makes him more cuddly.
