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.
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 😂
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.
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.

Definitely not most. I have never seen such a thing.
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 …

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!
In my experience, only the fancier brands do this. But you can make your own and sew them on too.
I thought I was so clever when i discovered this myself one day. Then i used it and it torn the string off the duvet cover :/
The ones I have from IKEA, no.
