Yes they do indeed but we bought some a few years ago and my Aunt would like some the same but I can’t find anything like that, we got ours from Dunelm mill.

Can you leave them on to stop the quilt shifting during use? I have some circular gadgets that do the same job. They came from Kleeneze but are difficult to fit.

I am off to Dunelm asap

If you mean during sleep then no, they are solid plastic and would probably hurt if they hit you in the face. :-)
