Bedding storage container

Abstract

A bedding storage container for decoratively displaying bedding when it is not in use is essential for a user who has limited storage space. The present invention allows a user to store colorful bedding, possibly containing various scenes, designs, a person's likeness, or an animal's likeness in a transparent container that can be stored on a shelf, table, or the floor instead of inside a closet or under a bed. The bedding is kept neatly inside the transparent container until the user wants to use the bedding therein. Unlike bedding storage containers available currently with the purchase of some bedding, the container of the present invention is durable and intended to be displayed.
