Laundry Basket 411: All you’ve ever wanted to know, and more!

Laundry. It’s a dreaded household task, but one we are all stuck with. Whether you’re knee deep in onesies, scrubbing grass-stains out of soccer shorts every night, or happily doing (only) 1-2 loads a week (we are jealous!), you might as well have the best gear to get the job done. We went on a mission to find the best laundry baskets. 

From laundry baskets to laundry hampers, laundry sorters, and the new aged lamper, we have you covered! Check out some of our favorites we found along the way…

1.Decorative Laundry Basket ($19.99)

This laundry basket is cute and functional. It’s a great option if you have a space where your laundry basket is visible. As long as you don’t have dirty clothes spilling over the sides, it’s hard to tell this is even a laundry basket. There is also a bigger version of this if you need something larger.

2. Laundry Basket with Wheels ($11.99)

This laundry basket has wheels, so you can easily pick up laundry from room to room. The plastic is pretty heavy duty, and the tall handle makes it super easy to maneuver.

3. “Standard” Laundry Basket ($9.99)

This “standard” laundry basket is a great option. The plastic is very sturdy and durable.  Handles on all four sides make carrying it super easy. This laundry basket comes in this pretty turquoise color or white!

4. Most affordable Laundry Basket ($4.79)

At my local target this laundry basket is just $4.79. It’s a little shorter than the standard laundry basket, and the plastic is a bit more flexible. If you are looking for a basic laundry basket that gets the job done and is cheap, this is perfect for you!

5. Lamper ($9.99)

Have you ever heard of such a thing? It’s a laundry basket and laundry hamper combined! I like this because it’s a little bit taller but still very portable. It comes with a mesh divider so you can sort your laundry as you go.

6. Super Cute Laundry Basket/Laundry Hamper ($29.99)

This laundry basket/hamper comes in this super cute design and many others. It is very lightweight and sturdy. There are small metal polls on the inside of the basket to keep its form. You can also pull up the mesh liner to carry it that way as well.

7. Stackable Laundry Baskets ($9.99 each)

These are great if you have a small space and a lot of laundry. You can store them on top of each other and simply snap the handles in or out to carry them!

8. Sorting Hamper ($9.99 each)

Confession: I don’t sort my laundry, ever! I wash everything together at once! If that makes you cringe, then these sorting laundry hampers are perfect for you! They aren’t very wide and they fit perfectly together side by side.

9. Laundry Hamper with Lid ($59.99)

This laundry hamper with a lid is a splurge. They come in a number of bright and neutral colors. It’s very sturdy with great handles so you could even use this as a laundry basket if you wanted. You can easily remove the liner inside to wash it, and the lid makes your laundry room look extra clean and organized.

10. Rolling Laundry Sorter with Wheels ($59.99)

Another great option for laundry sorters. The perk is, this one has wheels. It rolls very easily and is known for being “commercial quality.” It also folds up easily to save space when it’s not being used.

11. Collapsible Laundry Basket ($27.99)

If you have a really small space, apartment, or are sending a kid off to college, this collapsible laundry basket will work great! It folds down and can fit in a very small space. It also comes in a few bright colors too!

12. Laundry Hamper on Wheels ($31.24)

This laundry hamper can double as a laundry basket. It comes in a variety of sizes and colors, and the best part is that it’s on wheels! I also really like how it says Laundry down the side of the basket too. Super cute!

While doing the laundry might not be your favorite task, I hope this helps make this chore a little more efficient, functional, and maybe even glamorous! If you're curious, you can also read our review of the best laundry detergents.
