My problem is our flannel sheets go to DH side of the bed, the fleece blanket migrates to my side and the quilt goes over the bottom end by about a foot or so... Queen size bed in Motor home! ! Allergic to cats, quilt has one way design so can't turn and it does stick to the fleece blanket. It is a mystery!!! We just wrestle it all back together in the morning. I have learned tho, to pull everything back to the top of the bed BEFORE I get out. Makes it easier to make the bed that way..... go figure! I would LOVE to have a ghost with us.... friendly one please !!

The problem in our 5th wheel is we have a quilt and than a fuzzy blanket on top. We it either ends up on one side or the blankets slide down off the bed. We have flannel sheets. I guess I should put the fuzzy one under the quilt. The quilt is not as warm as it once was. I made it in 1997 and it has always been in our trailers.

I just got the funniest mental image of little feet extending out from your quilt each night and jumping to the floor with the quilt following.
And think how many quilt photos we see with feet at the bottom!

Same here. The nights have been really cold. I have 2 thermal but light weight blankets and another. I had to get up in the middle of the night once and pick it up off the floor because my behind got cold. He woke up and wanted to know what I was doing with taking all the covers. It was on his side. We have a queen size bed and I use king size blankets so we have ample cover. 
Just maybe.....someone is kicking the cover off at night??? Seriously, my husband gets hot and cold every night. No matter what I put on the bed, his side is always almost totally on the floor at the foot of the bed. The funny thing is, he wakes up and swears I steal his cover. 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.

I have found that the larger quilts with at least a 12 inch overhang, tend to drag themselves off the end of the bed because they are just heavy enough to do so. Have not figured out yet how to stop it except to fold the overhang up onto the bed at night. That seems to stop it from pulling off. Hope this helps
