Budding Joy 90 L Large Storage Bags, 6 Pack Clothes Storage Bins Foldable Closet Organizers Storage Containers with Reinforced Handle for Clothing, Blanket, Comforters, Bed Sheets, Pillows and Toys

Why I reached for soft-sided storage

My home has a knack for collecting textiles: spare duvets, seasonal throws, and the inevitable pile of “off-rotation” clothes. I wanted something that maximizes space without committing to more rigid plastic bins. That’s what led me to a six-pack of Budding Joy storage bags—90-liter soft-sided containers with clear windows, dual zippers, and reinforced handles. After several weeks of reorganizing closets and tucking a few under beds, here’s how they performed.

Design and build

Each bag measures 23 x 16 x 13 inches. In practice, that capacity is generous; a single bag comfortably held a king comforter, two bulky throws, and a set of flannel sheets. The material is a three-ply non-woven fabric—lightweight, odorless, and breathable—which is exactly what I look for when storing textiles long-term indoors. This isn’t the stiff, canvas-like material you’d find on some premium garment trunks. It’s soft and pliable, more like a structured tote than a box.

The zippers are dual-slider, which makes a difference when you’re trying to corral fluffy bedding; you can start closing from either side and meet in the middle. The handles are sewn through with an extra layer, and the stitching around load points looks neatly reinforced. There’s also a clear window on the front, which sounds minor, but it removes the guesswork when you’ve got a stack of identical grey bags.

These are soft-sided by design—no internal frame and no included base board—so the bag adopts the shape of what you put inside. That’s an advantage for squeezing into shallow spaces, but it also sets realistic expectations: they’re not rigid totes.

Setup and loading

The bags arrive folded flat (and in my case, vacuum packed), and you’re up and running in seconds—no assembly required. The opening on top is generous, though it doesn’t unzip to fully drop the entire top panel like a suitcase. For bulky items, I found it easiest to:
- Load the largest piece first (e.g., the comforter), flattening air pockets as I went.
- Fill gaps with smaller items like pillow shams or rolled sweaters.
- Zip with both sliders toward the corners to reduce strain at the highest-stress point.

One bag took two big winter coats, a stack of sweaters, and a wool blanket without a fight. Another bag swallowed a mix of throw pillows and extra duvet covers. The zippers glided more smoothly than I expected for soft-sided storage, but the usual rule applies: overstuffing will make any zipper complain. If I felt resistance, I repacked instead of forcing it.

Capacity and portability

Capacity is where these bags shine. The 90L volume isn’t just a number on a listing—it’s practically useful. I condensed what previously filled three smaller bins into two of these. The handles are strong enough to carry a fully loaded bag short distances, like from the bed to the closet or across a room. I wouldn’t use them as moving boxes for heavy loads up and down stairs; they’re for organizing and stowing, not replacing luggage.

Weight distributes better if you pack flatter items at the bottom and lighter, fluffier things up top. Doing this also keeps the bag’s shape and reduces stress on the seams.

Stacking and structure

Because there’s no rigid frame, stacking requires some nuance. If the bags are fully packed and evenly filled, you can stack a couple in a stable cabinet or on a closet shelf. If they’re half full—or if you’re stacking on an uneven surface—they will slump. I slipped a piece of corrugated plastic into the base of two bags to experiment, and that simple addition notably improved shape retention and stacking stability. A cut sheet of cardboard works nearly as well for a cost-free upgrade.

Under-bed storage is a sweet spot. The bags compress just enough to slide into shallow clearance, and the handles make retrieval easy. On closet shelves, I liked placing heavier bags on the bottom and lighter ones on top, just as you would with soft luggage.

Protection and environment

The non-woven fabric breathes, which is ideal for textiles you don’t want sealed in plastic long term. There’s no plasticky odor out of the box, and the fabric does a good job keeping dust off. These are not waterproof, and they’re not pest-proof. In a dry bedroom or closet, they’re perfect. In a damp basement or a garage that sees temperature swings, I’d add silica gel packs and consider slipping fabrics into vacuum bags inside the storage bag, or choose a rigid, sealed tote for that environment. The window is convenient for visibility, but like any windowed panel, it’s not meant for rough handling.

Usability over time

After repeated opening and closing, the zippers still track straight, and the pulls haven’t bent. I was careful to avoid overfilling, and that helped. The handles never felt like they were in danger, even when I tugged a bag like a stubborn puppy across a carpeted room. If you plan to frequently move these fully loaded—say, rotating wardrobes weekly—be realistic about the soft construction. The material is strong for what it is, but it’s still a non-woven textile, not ballistic nylon.

The clear window is a bigger quality-of-life improvement than I anticipated. In a wall of identical grey, I could immediately tell which bag had guest bedding versus winter layers without unzipping anything. I still labeled a corner with painter’s tape for quick categories, but often the window was enough.

Value and who it’s for

A six-pack at this size is an efficient way to reorganize a closet or a small apartment. Compared to rigid totes, these win on space efficiency (both when in use and when folded away) and aesthetics—stacked neatly, they give a closet a uniform, tidy look. Covered storage also keeps textiles cleaner than open shelving.

Who will love these:
- Apartment dwellers, renters, and dorm users with limited space.
- Anyone rotating seasonal wardrobes or bedding.
- People who prefer lighter, easier-to-lift containers over heavy plastic bins.
- Families who want quick, visible sorting for categories like coats, linens, or toys.

Who should look elsewhere:
- Anyone needing rigid, stackable containers that hold perfect shape when half full.
- Long-term storage in damp or rough environments.
- Heavy-duty movers who’ll be hauling fully loaded containers frequently.

Tips to get the most out of them

• Don’t overfill. If the zipper resists, redistribute instead of forcing.
• Add a base. A cut-to-size piece of cardboard or corrugated plastic in the bottom boosts shape and stackability.
• Pack smart. Heavier, flatter items at the bottom; lighter pieces on top.
• Consider liners. For damp-prone spaces, use vacuum bags inside and toss in a desiccant.
• Label discreetly. The window helps, but a small label on a corner saves time.

The bottom line

The Budding Joy storage bags solve a real problem for people who need more flexible, high-capacity storage without adding bulky plastic bins to every corner of their home. They’re roomy, light, easy to load, and the dual zippers and clear windows make them pleasant to use day-to-day. Their limitations are clear: they’re soft-sided and not meant for heavy stacking or rough handling, and they aren’t waterproof. With that in mind, they fit beautifully into closets, under beds, and on stable shelves, where they keep textiles clean, organized, and visible.

Recommendation: I recommend these for anyone organizing clothing, bedding, and similarly lightweight household textiles in dry indoor spaces. They offer excellent capacity, thoughtful usability, and space efficiency at a fair price. If you need rigid, stackable storage for heavy items or harsher environments, choose a hard bin; otherwise, these bags are a practical and satisfying upgrade for home organization.
