    How do you store your UQ?

    How do you store your UQ when it is not in use?

    I want to keep it loose so that the down does not get compressed. I've considered hanging it with my down sleeping bags, but that closet is full. I've also considered putting it under the bed with my self-inflating pads, but there is not much room there either.

    Another thought is to highlight it as a wall hanging (an instant conversation starter), but the color does not fit my "decor."

    Does anybody have a unique way to store their UQ?

    I store my down quilts on hangers in the closet. The synthetic goes loosely folded in a protective, breathable bag under the bed (found the bag at Bed Bath N Beyond for a few bucks).

    Just spread out on the spare bed. Once we move and I have a designated room ill build bars that go on the wall to simply drape them over
    Sometimes I like to hike and think, And sometimes I just like to hike.

    Hiking is'ent about waiting for the storm to pass its about learning to hike in the rain.

    hung using S-hooks on the wall.
    I have heard your confession I know who you blame
    If you had it all back you'd just lose it again
    Can't bank on redemption if you ain't saved
    Don't bring me your tales of temptation and loss
    Don't bring me the pieces of your shattered cross

    I use bags similar to the one pictured below. Each one holds 2 winter quilts or 3 3season and summer quilts. Zips up and keeps my down nice and safe. They make them freestanding, so if you've got a corner in a room somewhere it could be a good option.
