I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as where to put extra bedding? We have tons of extra bed spreads and sheets for company. I was wondering where everyone else puts theirs? We used to have a closet for this but, since we moved we no longer have extra space.
Any advice?

How much extra bedding is enough? We made a decision to keep 3 sets of bedding for each bed plus a special set set for the AirRise bed that is only popped up occasionally. We keep out-of-season blankets/quilts in a 'blanket box' in the highest, least accessible shelf in the linen closet. We also use under-bed storage boxes on wheels under each bed for duvet covers, throws, x-tra pillows and decor items.

I use the spaceage air bags and then store them in a plastic roller container. This way I can roll them under the bed in the room where they are used.

Thinner (as in non-bulky) linens can sometimes be unfolded a bit and laid flat between the mattress and box springs.

I agree that you should really evaluate how much you need to keep. What is the maximum number of guests you will ever have? If you keep enough linens for that maximum, plus one or two extra sets, that should be adequate. It's unlikely that all your guests will need a change of linens at the same time.

Also, you can include your spare sets for your family bedding as part of your guest supply.

The drawer under the bed is best place to store your bedding, we use that.

If you truly don't have any extra space to store these things, I agree that you need to be sure you are only keeping what you really need.

For the things that you do keep you could get some of the new extra large ziplock bags. Put together a complete set of bedding, including sheets, blankets and comforters in the ziplock bags and then store the bags under the bed where they belong.

You should put any extra bedding under your beds or even put them in trash bags and store them in you garage.

I agree, you might need to scale back on the quantity. However, you might also consider those vacuum seal bags. They can store bulky items in a much smaller space (and under the bed in any room is a good idea as well).
