I have had the same difficulty. I sleep in a bed by myself and it's close to the wall. I stuff pillows between the bed and the wall and they hold the quilt tucked in for more than a week. I use pillow all the way down the wall so that all of the quilt/blankets is next to a pillow. I also tuck the quilt down into between the pillows and wall. I don't know what you'd do if you shared a bed with your husband. Maybe, like someone suggested, stuff pillows between blankets and foot board.
