This genius viral hack for storing awkward bedding finally puts an end to fitted sheet folding frustration – and they’re over 50% off now

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.

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.’

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.’
