[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention is provided with a hot air supply port that is installed in a storage body and connected to a hot air blower at one end, and is provided with a warm air supply port that is connected to a hot air blower at one end. The hot air blower has a hot air blowing body that has a flow path inside and has a large number of warm air blowing ports on the surface that communicate with the flow path, and the hot air blower is placed under the bedding to be stored and between the bedding. Moreover, the surface of the hot air blower is provided with protrusions that come into contact with the bedding, and the hot air outlet is attached to the surface of the hot air blower so as to blow hot air into the concave space formed by these protrusions. It is said that the opening is formed between the protrusions.

[Function] According to the present invention, the bedding and the like come into contact with the protrusions provided on the surface of the hot air blower, and the warm air blown from the outlet passes through the concave space formed by the protrusions. , and will be supplied directly across the surface of and between the bedding. As a result, warm air is sufficiently distributed over the entire surface and inside of the bedding, and the drying efficiency of the bedding is improved accordingly.

Further, according to the present invention, the bedding stored in the storage body comes into contact with the protrusion provided on the warm air blower, and the space between the warm air blower and the bedding,
That is, air is circulated within the storage body through the concave space. As a result, the inside of the storage body is dried by the circulated air, making it possible to prevent dew condensation from occurring within the storage body.
