What bedding can I use Cosy Grips on?
 
 
Cosy Grips are great for quilts, duvet covers, doonas, comforters, blankets; generally any covers you choose for your bed. During warmer times, you may only want to use a top sheet rather than a heavy quilt, but when the temperature drops during the night, you want to ensure the sheet stays on - Cosy Grips are the perfect solution.
 
     
 
Can I use Cosy Grips with silk and satin luxury bedding?
 
 
Yes, they are ideal for use with silk and satin bed linen as they grip to these fabrics and prevent the covers sliding off. In fact one UK store that specialises in this type of luxury bedding recommends them to their customers (see www.betweenthesheets.co.uk).
 
     
 
How easy is it to fit Cosy Grips to my bed?
 
 
Cosy Grips are very simple to fit. It usually only adds about 2mins to the bed-making process. You just slide the elastic under the mattress, then do up the clips on either side of your bed cover.
 
     
 
Can the clips damage my bed linen?
 
 
No, Cosy Grips were invented in the UK by Dr Ian Fothergill, a research physicist. Through exhaustive product development and testing, he has designed fabric-friendly clips that are safe for bedding materials such as cotton, silk and satin.
 
     
 
Is it easy to get in and out of bed with Cosy Grips on?
 
 
Yes, it is very easy to get in and out of bed. The clips are positioned towards the end of the bed, so you simply pull your feet up a little and get out as usual.
 
     
 
I don't like the look of Cosy Grips on the side of my quilt, what can I do?
 
 
In many cases, you can actually tuck the clip down under the mattress, so that it is not seen. This may or may not be suitable for your bed, depending on the size of your mattress.
 
     
 
How long will my Cosy Grips last?
 
 
Cosy Grips last for many years if used according to instructions in a reasonable manner.
 
     
 
Answers to your questions about children:
 
     
 
Can Cosy Grips be used with baby sleeping bags, and sleepwraps?
 
 
Yes, if your baby is moving from cot to bed, then it can ease the transition to use a combination of Cosy Grips and their sleeping bag or sleepwrap for a while. Indeed, some toddlers have been known to stand up, topple over and fall out of bed in their sleeping bag, if Cosy Grips aren't there to help prevent them from these dangerous activities.
 
     
 
Do young children like being in bed with the Cosy Grips on?
 
 
Yes, kids love sleeping with Cosy Grips because they feel safe, secure and cosy. This means they sleep better and longer (without the need for already exhausted parents checking on them). They can move naturally and freely in bed, without the covers falling off! This means they can stretch out, roll over, even get up to go to the toilet without having to be extracted from a sleeping bag or sleepwrap. Snug in their bed with Cosy Grips fitted, toddlers and young children have a feeling of security and stay warmer, which means a better night's sleep - for the whole family.
 
     
 
Could the Cosy Grips pose any danger to my child?
 
 
No, there have been no reported incidents with the 60,000+ Cosy Grips that have been sold. The fabric-friendly clips are simple for adults to use, but too difficult for little fingers to undo. Provided Cosy Grips are fitted on the bed according to the instructions, you and your children can sleep safe and sound in your beds. Cosy Grips help to keep your kids safe by holding down the covers so that they can't pull the bedding over their faces. N.B. Cosy Grips are not suitable for cots.
 
     
 
Can Cosy Grips be used on my baby's cot?
 
 
No, they are not suitable for use in cots as young babies over heat very easily. But once your child is ready to transition to a big bed Cosy Grips are ideal as they not only keep them safe and snuggly warm, these duvet clips can also help prevent toddlers pulling the covers over their faces or falling out of bed.
 
     
 
What if my child wets the bed?
 
 
No problem. Simply unclip the Cosy Grips and remake the bed as you usually would. If necessary, the clips can be easily wiped clean before refitting on your little one's nice fresh bed.
