Konmari vs Rolling vs Packing Cubes | Which One Saves More Space? 

Great video. Love the comparisons. And I loved the casual appearances by the pup and kidlet. Well done!

For the rolling method, you probably want to start by folding them into the same rectangle as the Konmari. If they're folded too tall before you roll them, they just take up more space and come out wrinklier.

Personally I think the packing cubes to look way more organized and easier to get the item on the trip without making a mess :) great video!

I'm going on a road trip next week and have been watching videos about packing. Your three way comparison was much more helpful than people just going on about their own favorite method. I've decided to go with packing cubes simply because it is easier to stay organized with cubes. Thank you for making this high quality video. Loved your child and dog co-stars.

I use packing cubes for organization. For shirts, pants and underwear, I utilize the Konmari method. For socks, I use the Ranger roll method (keeps them compact and you can place them in shoes and other tight spaces.).

Thank you! You did a great job! and you baby is so adorable! I loved seeing just a regular person in their home, no fancy backgrounds or studio lights.

Rolling and cubes work great for me when going to the cabin for 2 weeks with my husband. Not worried too much about wrinkles. His clothes in one cube and mine in another are so helpful! I did the same test she did, and this way fit perfectly.

I am new to packing cubes and have watch a lot of videos - yours is truly the best! Thank you.

i'm going on a trip soon and so I've been watching heaps of packing videos and out of all the comparison videos of methods yours was by far the best! thank you!

Thanks for uploading this. Rolling method indeed saves a lot of space and I was able to pack everything in a single trolley.

It seems I've been doing a combo of the Konmari and rolling methods when I pack. Last October, I flew to London where I stayed for six months. I took two 29" suitcases, a 19" carry-on, and a "personal item" which was a laptop bag. I noticed many Londoners do not wear patterned shirts, so I won't be taking those this October. My plan is to only take one 29", the carry-on, and the laptop bag. The coats will take up the most space. Thanks for the video. Very informative.

This is so helpful, thank you!

Thank you for your testing and explanations. Your conclusions will help me for my next trips. In fact, what you said as regards to either less wrinkles using the Konmari system or saving space through rolling can be both useful depending on the kind of trip. I live in Madrid, so I have lots of cities to visit within reach of a 2-3 hours flight. For Ryanair, Easyjet, and other low cost airlines we really need to save space as per onboard luggage allowance. Cheers and thank you again! 👏🏻👏🏻😎✈🎒

amazing video thank you so much !! ^-^ Im about to go on a pretty important trip with very limited space- so this was sooo helpful :D def going to subscribe. Amazing stuff ^-^

LOVE THIS VIDEO! Keep em coming diva. More power to you.

Great demonstration

Nice video. With the current chaos at airports around the world, clever packing can make the difference between being able to fit everything into a carry on versus a checked bag which you might very well never see again.

This was a really helpful video on so many levels. Thank you.❤

Great comparison video.

I like using compression packing cubes the best

Great comparisons.

Really helpful!

Love the dog and your beautiful son in the video. I smiled through the whole thing!

Thanks for sharing always love watch packing video i dont travel out country wish i could 😢 we go jersey shore from Arizona for a month so wish i can bring that much clothes. 😊 i always give me ideas before i go what way 😊

I think you can use all the methods at same time to fill your suitcase

hi, I don t have packing cubes but I use to pack in simple similar plastic bags that I collected over the years and I like It because everything Is organized and protected in case I need to Open the luggage...i fold with the konmary method

You could have tried folding flat in the cubes. Also, don’t roll so small and many more items will fit.

This was a great video, first I've seen like this@

I have that same packing cube set I love mine

Actually, the point of rolling is to have almost no wrinkles. Put the most wrinkle prone items on the outside of the roll and roll a couple or 3 things together. You roll them flatter and in longer rolls. I lay them between the bars on the bottom of the suitcase. It saves a ton of space to roll and I have almost no wrinkles.

Thanks so much for making this video!! I’m studying abroad next month and am debating on if it makes sense to invest in the packing cubes since I’ll be gone for four months.

When packing using the KonMari method, instead of lining them up the length of the suitcase, try lining them up width wise. I also will usually turn them so the bottom of the fold is on the bottom (wheel side) of the suitcase. So they’d be standing up on the bottom of the suitcase if the suitcase was upright. (I tried to explain as best I could) 😝

I like the packing cubes.

The packing cubes method is really cool method

I use packing cubes but don't fold them using either of those methods, I just fold them normally and can pack them all in one cube.

I do roll but one fold less than u do so it’s longer but thinner. So it’s takes more space Lengthwise u can pack more on on top. And it less wrinkle. To me the roll is the most effective but now I’m thinking the cubes together with the roll could work better in separation to different items. Thanks.

What would happen if you also compared Konmari to rolling to packing cube to the bundle method? As if you need more to do. :)

Thanks for the comparison. Have you tried to fold it like you would put over the shelf in the closet? I saw someone said you folding is better than rolling for compression cubes.

Anyone know any cheaper compression cubes? Either way i ended up with 1 extra case worth of vlothes as a whole yr got fed up with same old things plus worsexwinter for 50 yrs so would ve frozen

The cube layed flat you had space on top that you did not mention.

I've tried the rolling method and my clothes came out of the suitcase looking like I'd slept in them for a week. Unfortunately, irons aren't readily available anymore in Europe, so I ended up finding a laundry, lightly washing and drying to get the wrinkles out.

Noting the price change from just under $20 two years ago in the video, to today's price f $21.00 (sale price with 36% off $34.24). 😳 I just wish these were the prices for the compression packing cubes. Thank you for sharing.

I think if u use vacum bags with that rolling methods you will save even more space. 😅

Everybody talks about the space. But what about the extra weight with the packing cubes? I hope some answers before to buy them ;)

Lol this video is now a year old and has 33k views as well

If i was to roll i would not do that last fold. I fold pant legs on top, shirts in half, you can roll an outfit together too for extra convenience. Everyone has their thing. Packing cubes are good just to reduce the possible nightmares that can happen with the TSA or liquids, etc..

What about bulkier items like sweaters? Shoes? Dresses?

If u travel a lot compression cubes are better than packing cubes.

I use the Kon-Mari method of folding my clothes to put them in my packing cubes.

I have found that laying items in a COMPRESSION packing cube really leaves the most room. I fold items the size of the cube, then compress it.

A+++

How do you feel about the wrinkle issues between the three?

Wonder how compression cubes would work?

Brand-new subscriber here...thanks for this very useful video content. 😊❤️🧳✈️💺 Hi to your, cute little boy! 😊

combo : rolling = put the rolls into compression packing cubes. I would definitly not need such heavy suitcase for 5 pants + 5 tshirts ...

But.....if we are talking about getting as much in a suitcase as we can, we're probably also pushing the limit on weight allowance, and cubes weigh something. Use a bunch and they must add up to a pound. But the idea is compression, whether folding, rolling or using those cubes. Air pockets equals wasted space. I've done my own experimenting and as I guessed before, none of it matters! The same amount goes in each way if you do each one with maximum compression and minimum wasted. Stack it high, sit on it to close it.......compression!

Konmari seems best to avoid mega wrinkles.

Life's too short for that folding method

i use packing cubes and rolling

We’re you in the military?

When I tried rolling, my clothes ended up a wrinkled mess!

Too much in the packing cubes!!!

You pack day 1……then by day5 you have dirty linen…..not so neat

Useless
