sleeping with parents...how to end it as peacefully as possible!

My son is 16 and still comes to sleep in our bed sometimes. There is not much room! (especially if he has been to the kitchen to get food in the middle of the night, let out the cat and the very large cat then joins us in bed!). Things are complicated by the fact that he currently sleeps in our spare room as there is now no bed in his own room and won't be till we have finished clearing and decorating the room.

Last week he spent a night sleeping on the sheepskin rug next to our bed, with two duvets (neither with a cover on) and two pillows. The next night we had a guest who was sleeping in the spare bed so we told John he *had* to sleep in our room. Funnily enough, he hasn't done so since! But this may of course not last. I am hoping once he has a bed in his own room he will revert to it (he never liked his loft bed, it was just me fulfilling a fantasy of my childhood..)

A related problem we have is that I can't put a cover on the duvet without it coming off within hours, usually the same night. The fact that buttons and poppers rapidly come off all duvet covers doesn't help. He uses two duvets at a time and one of them he takes down and wraps himself in all day (he is currently out of school). Of course they get filthy but I can only wash them about once a year when he is away at camp. Also one is down and doesn't wash well. Any bright ideas? Or any source of softer duvet covers, eg jersey, that he might leave on?
