A lid is the difference between a laundry basket you can leave in a bedroom and one you have to hide. It keeps the contents out of sight, which is most of what makes a bedroom look tidy, and it lets the basket double as general storage for toys, blankets or household items when the laundry is done. At 34 x 52cm it takes a full wash load, and the sturdy handles matter for carrying it when it is full — handles are the first thing to fail on a cheap hamper, usually halfway up a staircase. The foldable design means it collapses flat between wash days. Available in beige and grey.

Buying guide
A lid traps moisture as well as sight, so do not put damp towels or gym kit into a closed basket — that is the source of the smell people blame on the basket itself. Let wet items dry first, or keep a separate ventilated container for them. Carry by both handles rather than one, which is what tears a handle mounting. Fold it away between wash days if the bedroom is short of space. Wipe or wash it occasionally according to the label and let it dry fully before folding, since a damp fold causes mildew at the creases.
How it compares
Against an open hamper, a lid hides the contents so the basket can stay in a bedroom. Against a rigid basket, this folds away when not needed. For wet towels specifically, a ventilated plastic hamper is more hygienic than any lidded basket.
