Best Ways to Store Your Comforters and Keep Them Fresh!
You enjoy curling up under a warm, rocking comforter when it’s cold outside, but what do you do with it when the seasons change? Unlike a lightweight blanket, a comforter blanket is heavy and complicated to store.
How do you ensure your comforter remains fresh and ready for use? Well, fret not! This guide will walk you through the best ways to store comforter blankets like a pro, ensuring they always stay in prime condition.
1) Pick the Right Storage Spot
The first step to properly store your cotton comforter is to decide upon an area to store it in. You wouldn't want to keep it in a damp or humid area that may cause mold, mildew, or musty smells. Consider these areas that are drier and more airy:
● A linen closet
● A large storage trunk
● A breathable cotton storage bag
If space is an issue for you, our Nectarsoft Signature Comforter would be perfect. Made from cotton and lyocell, it is airy and remains fresh even after long storage.
2) Keep Moisture and Odors Away
Moisture is the biggest enemy of stored comforters. The best way to combat this is by using natural dehumidifiers like:
● Silica gel packets – these absorb excess moisture.
● Cedar chips – they not only keep your comforter blanket dry but also add a pleasant, woody scent.
● Dryer sheets – place a few in the storage bin for a long-lasting fresh smell.
If you’re storing our Urban Comfort Sunset Magenta Double Comforter, made of 100% cotton, these moisture control methods will ensure it stays as soft and breathable as the day you bought it.
3) Don’t Squish It Too Much!
Some comforters have delicate fillings like down or feather that can get damaged when compressed too much. If the cotton comforter has natural fiber fill, do not vacuum seal it. Instead, roll the bag up loosely and store it in a breathable cotton bag.
Synthetic comforter blankets, on the other hand, can handle compression better. If space is a concern, vacuum-seal these comforters to maximize storage efficiency.
For example, our Road To Jaipur Afreen Slate Double Comforter, made with 100% cotton, is best stored in a large, breathable bag to maintain its soft and feather-light feel.
4) Label Your Bedding
Labelling them before storage for those who own various comforters, throws, and blankets will help save time. Simply note the comforter's size, material, and seasonality to differentiate them.
This is especially helpful if you rotate between designs like our Sanskriti Pichwai Blue Double Comforter, which is super soft and perfect for year-round comfort.
5) Use Smart Storage Solutions
If you don’t have a specific place for your fluffy blanket, here are some clever storage solutions:
● Oversized Baskets – Ideal for easy, quick access and usage. Opt for those with covers to minimize dust settling on them.
● Under Bed Storage Bins – Store your cotton comforter under the bed in a breathable storage bag, and it becomes a space-saving design.
● Bench Storage – These will serve as added sitting space in the bedroom while storing comforters in style.
● Linen Cabinets – Dedicate a section in your wardrobe for neatly folded comforter blankets if extra space is available.
These storage suggestions will help make your cotton comforter accessible whenever
Required.
6) Wash Before Storing
Before tucking your comforter away, ensure it’s clean and completely dry. Here’s how:
● Check the Care Label – Some comforters require delicate handling.
● Use a Mild Detergent – Harsh chemicals can damage the fabric.
● Air Dry Completely – Even a little dampness can lead to mold.
If your comforter is too big for your home washer, take it to a professional laundry service.
7) Keep Your Comforter Smelling Fresh
Nobody likes a musty comforter blanket! Keep it smelling fresh with these simple tricks:
● Cedarwood Blocks – Natural and long-lasting freshness
● Essential Oil Sachets – Lavender or citrus scents work wonders
● Breathable Cotton Bags – Prevents trapped odors while keeping dust away
Our Urban Comfort Sunset Magenta Double Comforter, with its soft and cozy fabric, remains fresh and airy when stored in a breathable cotton bag.
