Most (but not all) duvets and duvet covers have ties/loops to tie the corners (and sometimes the midpoints) off to keep this from happening.
Honestly I never had this issue nor knew about the loops/ties until I graduated from a full/queen cover to a king size one and it became a real problem.
Obviously a different thing, but your comment unlocked a several decades old memory about my mom tying the ends of my duvet to the bed frame, because I would kick it off the bed while asleep. Wow, that memory was pulled from some very dusty and almost forgotten part of my brain, lol.
For the first three decades of my life my duvet had the loops but the cover didn’t have the ties. I just thought the loops were something to grab on to while spelunking into the cover to insert the duvet 😂
You don’t have to go spelunking if you don’t want to. Turn the cover inside out, lay the duvet on top, tie off the corners if you have ties, and turn it all back right side over.
I dont know about the previous commenter’s fancy duvets/covers but the ikea ones have switched between snaps and loops and none at all between product lines. I have noticed though that the cotton covers tend to stick well to the polyester duvets such that they stay in place without
It still happens especially with fabric like viscose. My duvet has ties for in-between corners too, but my comforter doesn’t, so I get what’s being described here. I need to sew some in and stop being a lazy ass.
I’ve never understood those. Clearly yes, they’re for tying the corners, but how? Wouldn’t they just slip out? Do you have to just tie really really tightly?
Anyway, my duvet is a King on a Queen bed, and I still don’t have the issue, but I don’t toss and turn too much.
As another post said the corners have a loop for the tie. Even without those loops I’ve tied the cover around a section of the duvet corner without issue. My cover is linen, so maybe other materials don’t work as well? YMMV.
On a king I still find that it sags a lot in the middle of the edges even with the corners tied. So we got the magnetic fasteners (like on anti theft clothing tags) to pin the middle.

Our comforter is tied to the bed footrest on my husband’s side, because otherwise I steal it in my sleep. It keeps marital harmony!
I have been around for 3 and a half decades and I’ve never had a duvet that’s done this in the UK
Same, and I even buy my duvets from IKEA …

The ones I have from IKEA, no.

Duvet inserts usually have a loop on each of the corners for the ties on the cover to tie on.

That’s a clever solution!
They’re actually sold for that purpose so we weren’t that clever :)
