How to lay bedding

Perhaps most of all places in any linen closet take bedding. It doesn’t matter if there is a baby set or a family one, one and a half bed or a euro size - each includes a sheet, at least one duvet cover (and often two) and pillowcases. Given that there are several sets in any house, it turns out a whole bunch of things!

There are not so many places in our closets, so the question of how to compactly roll up bed linen is relevant for most.

Proper storage of linen - the process is simple, if you know all the nuances

There are several options for folding bedding. The most common methods are:

• classic (piles);
• vertical;
• storage set in a pillowcase.

Classic method

Linen in the closet in the stack according to the classical method

The essence of this method lies in the traditional storage of linen sets in stacks. In order to have less space in the closet, an important step is the preliminary ironing: this will make things as compact as possible.

After washing the laundry is very important to make ironing - ironed clothes will take less space in the closet

The ironing process can be replaced by thoroughly shaking the items before drying. True, shaking a duvet cover or a sheet so that they become more or less even, is not so easy: you will need a certain force.

After ironing sets of linen must be sorted into sets

Items set neatly, corner to corner, rolled into small rectangles (for example, half and half duvet covers or sheets fold about ten times, pillowcases - into four) and put them on each other in piles. Then the stacks are placed on the shelf of the cabinet or in the drawer of the dresser.

The disadvantages of the method is the difficulty in removing linen from the shelves: with a high degree of probability when you try to get one set, you will touch or doubt another.

With this storage option, it is inconvenient to get the kit off the shelf

You can sort the laundry into sets and tie them with a beautiful ribbon.

Vertical method

Marie Kondo method - vertical storage method

This way of adding bed linen came to us from Japan. Things are not rolled up into flat rectangles, but into thick rolls, and are not placed on each other, but put in rows.

Vertical storage of linen with bed storage in rolls

So, if the standard duvet cover folded in the classical way is folded three times more (of course, it all depends on the size), then the result will be a small rectangular bundle, and it should be stored, "putting" on the narrow part. Sheets and pillowcases "put" next.

Convolutions can be stored in baskets or boxes if the shelves are inconvenient for vertical storage.

This option of storing clothes is convenient because you can immediately find the desired accessories, and getting them is quite simple.

Vertically folded bedding in the drawer of the dresser - you can easily stay the right set, without hitting the rest

However, for things stacked in this way, either a special niche or high drawers of a dresser is required: it is inconvenient to keep them on a standard shelf in a regular cabinet.

Set in a pillowcase

If you fold the folded duvet cover and bed sheet into a pillowcase, tuck the ends of the pillowcase, you will get a neat envelope

Very convenient is the option of storing rolled bed linen in a pillowcase. This method has almost no flaws: different things are not confused, neat piles take up little space, and it’s very easy to get the right set without hurting others.

Convenient and practical way to keep the whole set in a pillowcase - it's easy to get the whole set out of the closet without any extra movement.

Consider step by step how to put a linen set in a pillowcase:

1. iron out things (or gently straighten and shake them off before drying);
2. carefully fold the quilt cover to the corner (approximately ten additions) so that it fits easily into the pillowcase;
3. also gently roll the sheets into a flat rectangle;
4. roll up all the pillowcases (except the one in which we will “pack” the kit);
5. put all the items in a set in one pile;
6. put the pile in the remaining pillowcase, straighten the edges and fold them so that the linen is in a peculiar bag.

The resulting packaged piles are put on the shelf in the cupboard - and you're done!

Bedding with elastic

The scheme of folding linen with elastic

Recently sheets on an elastic band become more and more popular: it is convenient in use, practical, do not get off after a dream. However, it may be difficult to fold them neatly during storage.

For sheets on an elastic band there is an option not only folding, but also twisting

There is an easy way to compactly roll up the sheets on an elastic band. To do this, you need to straighten the sheet and alternately put all its corners in one. In the resulting rectangle it is necessary to straighten all the folds, and then fold it as it will be convenient (depending on the chosen storage method).
