These packing cubes are so popular with shoppers one sells every two minutes
We’ve all had a moment of sitting on top of a too-full suitcase, praying that the zip will close and everything we need to pack will cram inside. However, there are handy tools out there that can help make packing a breeze, allowing travellers to fit even more into their suitcases.
At Simplify, shoppers can now get their hands on a set of Compression Packing Cubes for £38 down from £68, saving a whopping 45%. The set, which comes with five packing cubes, is said to save up to 60% packing space and help keep things nice and organised.
In the set comes a large hoodie/coat cube, which holds 2-3 sweaters or coats; a T-shirt cube, which holds 7-8 shirts; a trouser cube, which holds 5-6 pairs of trousers, an underwear cube which holds 4-5 pairs of underwear, and a socks cube for 7-8 pairs of socks. The reinforced zippers allow users to squeeze out excess air and compress their clothes down as small as possible, and each cube has a handy picture label so it’s easy to tell what’s in which.
Plus, when shoppers buy the set, they can get a free Simplify Travel Guide to help them on their way. The cubes come in a range of colours, including black, blue, grey, pink and red, and there are even larger bundles available: The Value Pack, which costs £64.60 down from £136 and includes two sets, and the Family Pack which includes three sets for £91.20 down from £204.
There are other types of packing cubes out there, too. For example, Amazon has Packing Cubes for £12.99, which comes in a classic grey colour and include nine bags for clothes, underwear, shoes, toiletries, laundry and more.

However, the Simplify Compression Packing Cubes have a great 4.8 star rating from 818 reviews. One buyer said: “Very happy – used our Compression Packing Cubes on an interstate trip which only took up half the suitcase.
“Allocated Cubes made finding and organising clothes easy. Still had room to add a few gifts to bring back, so compact and streamlined!”
Another said as part of a longer review: “I was going to Sri Lanka and wanted to be able to carry my outfits without having to carry more luggage, so I purchased 2 sets (pink and blue). I am so impressed with these that not only will I be using them again when I head off to Vietnam and Cambodia, on Saturday, but I purchased 8 more sets to give to all my family as Christmas presents.”
Some did flag some issues, including one buyer who said: “Good quality. Compression works well, but bags smaller than I would’ve liked.”
That said, the vast majority of shoppers were thrilled with their purchase, including one who said: “Love the colour! Brilliant lighter way to travel. Easy and organised. I highly recommend these.”
