Me Too. I have a blanket and quilt on king size bed and it still does this and I have to redo every moring.

Well, with a 15lb cat sleeping on top of the covers it helps stop the "creeps"

We use a fleece blanket with the quilt on top. No issues except hubby rolling himself up so I end up with very little over hang on my side. I just make sure to make the quilts very large to help remedy some of that.

I find if I use a flannel backing it keeps the quilt in place.

Well, I sleep with a "cover thief" --- so, I frequently wake up with no covers on!!!
I think the others nailed your solution - ditch the comforter.

Tonight, I'll try two quilts, no comforter. But I'm not expecting a miracle.

After reading back through these responses, I've come to this conclusion -- quilts, as many of us have known for a long time, have a mind of their own. They seem to get this trait from their Mothers, the fabric which makes them and which often 'talks' to the quilter who is helping them during birth. They have their own opinion about creativity and apparently have their own opinion about where they want to be; about traveling; about who will own them; about attracting 'friends' (also known as various pets of the household); and about how they will tolerate being washed.

I've sort of known these things, in the back of my mind, for a long time -- say 30 plus yrears -- but I now accept it as totally true. It does make the hair stand up on the back of my neck to realize that something so soft and comfy, made and given with love, can be as opinionated, stubborn, cantankerous, and downright annoying sometimes, as they are. One doesn't usually think of inanimate objects as having personality, but, as quilters and artists, we know better.
Creativity is alive!

Use more than one quilt. :-). I love the weight of more than one quilt. Right now (my stage of life I guess) I am comfortable with one quilt and the sheet.

Also as mentioned above. The comforter is made of slick fabrics and therefore, everything will slide.

I have a long low dresser at the foot of our bed, I guess it acts as a footboard and stops all blankets and quilts from slipping down.

For those who don't have a footboard or space for a dresser, could you try a pillow (preferably a heavier one with down or memory foam crumbs) on top of the quilt and see if it acts the same as a cat by holding the quilt in place?

for a minute I thought you had the same problem as I do. Mine is a husband that loves to grab quilts. So I solved my problem by making all out bed quilts with long sides so he can't pull everything off and leave me freezing
