Use the largest textile
Roll a typical duvet cover or sheet set as you normally carry it. Compare that bundle with a cardboard opening rather than counting only the basket liters.
Look beneath the rim
Some baskets narrow below their top edge. Check interior photographs and dimensions when available so a wide mouth does not disguise a restrictive lower section.
Choose your unloading method
Pulling an armful upward differs from tipping the entire basket. Make sure the room allows the method you intend, especially if the basket parks beneath a shelf. Also note whether the basket is easy to grip when the bedding hides its handles. A convenient empty handle position may be less accessible with a bulky load inside.
Separate collection from storage
A larger hamper can hold more waiting bedding, but it also occupies space between wash days. An existing carry bag may suit occasional bulky loads better than a permanent oversized collector. Consider whether you can fold the frame without removing a liner or several fittings. Repeated disassembly may make an apparently compact design less convenient than a soft bag that hangs empty from a suitable hook.
If bedding is washed immediately after stripping the bed, you may need a transport basket rather than a larger everyday hamper.
