Is there any greater folding frustration than trying to get fitted sheets to neatly stack up in your linen closet?
That’s why we have fallen head-over-heels for these bedding filing boxes, from Amazon. Not only do they up your file-folding game, but they cut out the need for neat folding altogether, saving your time and energy on laundry day with awkward sheets.
We’re not the only ones who love the appeal, either. Here, professional home organizers reveal why these boxes are the perfect investment for organizing a linen closet.
Why bedding file boxes complete linen closets
Picture it: it’s laundry day – you’ve already tackled the wash and dry cycles, folded all your clothing, or hung it back in the closet, but you still have a heap of your best bed sheets to go.
While you could attempt to fold fitted sheets like a professional, it is a lot easier said than done, and your small linen closet storage shelves usually end up looking like a jumbled mess anyway.
That’s where these Amazon file boxes for bedding come in to save the day.
This pack of six bedding file boxes are at their lowest price yet, come in two colors (black and gray), and each have a viewing window and labels to help you see exactly which set is inside each. Better yet, the boxes expand, allowing you to fit more in each segment for those extra-large bed sheet sets and thick blankets.
Sandy Eaton, professional home organizer at New Day Organizing, says, ‘These sheet boxes make organizing simple for everyone in the household. They remove the need for perfectly folded sheets – something that most people struggle with.
'When anyone can just place sheets in a box, close the box with velcro and a zipper, suddenly the whole family can help with putting away laundry. No more being the only person who knows how to fold sheets!’
The boxes are perfectly shaped to stack neatly in your existing home storage ideas, rather than tumble over. Sandy says, ‘Given their compact size and sturdy construction, these boxes work great in many places around the home, including on linen closet shelves, in under-bed storage, and on high shelves in bedroom closets.
'I love that you can stand them up vertically or stack them horizontally – whatever works best in your space.’
Their usefulness doesn’t stop at just bedding, either, Sandy adds. She shares, ‘While these boxes are designed for bedding, I've found many other uses for them, such as storing extra pillowcases, organizing towel storage, and protecting special linens from dust.’
Pro organizer Juliana Meidl uses bedding file boxes to keep lesser-used sheets neat and protected, with labels to help identify which set is in which box.
How you use the bedding boxes really comes down to your daily routine and habits. The last thing you want to do, after all, is over-organize your home and make making a bed more difficult if you’re already trying to keep a house clean when you’re too busy.
Juliana Meidl, professional home organizer and owner of Serenity at Home Detroit, agrees with Sandy, sharing, ‘We have used the bedding boxes and think they can be a great solution for organizing bedding in a linen closet.
'Just like any organizing project, how and when to use them depends on the client and the space itself. We have found that these bedding boxes are great for sets of extra bedding or those sets that are not used frequently, such as holiday or seasonal sets.
However, she adds, ‘‘Often clients prefer the sheets they use regularly to be easier to access, and for those we may just use storage baskets [similar to these fabric storage cubes from Walmart]. You can still have the streamlined look that the boxes give you, but with less hassle.’
Bedding storage essentials
These extra-large bedding boxes can stack several sheets or towels in one place, making them ideal for seasonal our guest sets that you do not use as often throughout the year. They also fold away when not in use for handy storage you can come back to.
Fancy a storage basket that is a little easier to access week on week? These handy viewing baskets allow you to file-fold clothing, bedding, and towels, without them being hidden away, so you never have to dig through dark storage again.
Under-bed storage is a great way to expand on your existing closet space, be it for storing your off-season clothing or extra bed linens and towels. These bags on wheels make them easy to pull out quickly and access as needed, and can be paired with the bedding file boxes for extra order.
