5 Must-Know Tips for Storing Seasonal Bedding Like a Pro

As the seasons change, so do our bedding needs. Thick winter duvets and flannel sheets are perfect for chilly nights, but they’re not ideal for summer. Properly storing your seasonal bedding ensures it stays fresh, clean, and ready for use when you need it again. At Trends and Bend, we know how important it is to care for your bedding, no matter the season. In this guide, we’ll share five must-know tips for storing seasonal bedding like a pro.

Your bedding is an investment, and proper storage can extend its lifespan while keeping it in pristine condition. Let’s dive into the best practices for storing your seasonal bedding.

1. Clean Before Storing

Always wash your bedding before storing it. Dirt, sweat, and oils can attract pests or cause stains to set over time. Use a gentle detergent and follow the care instructions for each item.

Pro Tip: For duvets and comforters, consider professional cleaning to ensure they’re thoroughly fresh. Trends and Bend’s easy-to-care-for bedding makes cleaning a breeze.

2. Ensure Everything Is Completely Dry

Moisture is the enemy of stored bedding. Even a small amount of dampness can lead to mould or mildew. Make sure your bedding is completely dry before packing it away.

Pro Tip: Air-dry your bedding in the sun for a fresh, natural scent. Avoid using a dryer for delicate items like wool or down.

3. Use Breathable Storage Bags

Plastic bags may seem convenient, but they trap moisture and can damage your bedding. Instead, use breathable cotton storage bags or pillowcases to protect your items while allowing air circulation.

Pro Tip: Trends and Bend offers stylish and functional storage solutions to keep your bedding organized and fresh.

4. Store in a Cool, Dry Place

Choose a storage location that’s cool, dry, and away from direct sunlight. Attics and basements may not be ideal due to temperature fluctuations and humidity.

Pro Tip: Use cedar blocks or lavender sachets to keep your storage area smelling fresh and deter pests.

5. Label and Organize

Label your storage bags or containers to make it easy to find what you need next season. Organize your bedding by type (e.g., winter duvets, summer sheets) for added convenience.

Pro Tip: Store frequently used items at the front of your closet or storage space for easy access.

Ensure your bedding is completely dry before storing, and use natural deodorizers like cedar blocks or lavender sachets.

What’s the best way to store duvets?
Clean and dry your duvet, then store it in a breathable cotton bag in a cool, dry place.
