As I open my closet, I can finally breathe

As I pull the door open, I'm not met with a wall of puffy blankets anymore. I see flat, neat stacks and a whole empty shelf, and the closet finally feels calm. Here's what I use and how it works.

My closet before

My closet was packed. Extra blankets, comforters, and pillows sat in big puffy bags that took up a full shelf and the floor underneath. Every time I opened the door, it felt cluttered.

How it works

  1. Fill a bag with blankets or bedding.
  2. Zip it closed.
  3. Put the pump on the valve and let it pull the air out.

The bags flatten down, and you can stack them.
