Top things to consider when buying under bed storage

Type 


There’s no lie in the fact that each and every one of us has different preferences and aesthetics and this applies to things such as the storage bins we choose to keep our home organized. There are many styles available out there for under-bed storage solutions, including lidded plastic bins, foldable zippered bags (just like our SmartCubePlus), handwoven baskets, and the list goes on. 


Even though style might not be your first concern, depending on the linen and covers you’re using, the sides of the boxes might still be visible. Our recommendation (and the features we decided to include in our products) is to go for a breathable, protective, and versatile storage bin that not only helps you declutter, but also looks nice wherever you decide to keep it.




Materials 

 

When we talk about materials, we are talking about their specific attributes, which matter in form of durability, function, and appearance.
For example, a plastic lidded bin might protect the contents while allowing you to see the interior, however, it’s not very breathable and your belongings might pick up bad odors with time. 
Zippered fabric bins, like our SmartCubePlus Underbed Storage Bag, can be sturdy or foldable and they’re particularly good for storing your kids’ toys, as well as any sturdy item, but might not hold their shape very well, so be careful with putting heavy items on top.

Then there are woven baskets which may be the most aesthetically pleasing of the three but are usually not sealable, and won’t protect their content from external elements such as dust or insects.


Whichever you end up choosing will be determined by your needs and the articles you desire to keep away


 
     

Size - Measurements 


It is very important to know the measurements of the place (or your bed!) so that you can buy an under-bed storage bin that fits perfectly in said space. While most bins will be narrow and shallow enough (you might even be able to fit two under your bed), some might be too high. It’s also important that the bin is not longer than your bed frame to avoid accidents.
