The 9 Best Under-Bed Storage Bins You Can Buy Online
If you don’t have a bed with built-in storage, that free space underneath is basically wasted. With good under-bed storage options, you’ll be able to stow certain items out of sight, like spare linens and blankets, winter clothing, and books.
We tested some of the most popular under-bed storage options on the market to find out which are best, taking into consideration each option’s material and quality, dimensions and roominess, closure type and accessibility, and overall value. We also consulted Nicole Gabai, founder of B. Organized, for tips on how to shop for under-bed storage options.

The Storage Lab Under-Bed Storage Set was our highest-rated option, scoring perfect marks across all categories. The unit features two large-capacity containers made from a polyester blend, along with a see-through plastic window for easy identification. During testing, we noticed that the containers expanded easily, so we were able to fit several items even if it meant the storage got a bit bulkier on the top. We found them a bit large to fit beneath our queen bed, but they weren't too obtrusive.
There are two pulls that are stitched on superbly, making it easy to remove the unit out from under the bed. However, we did notice that pulling the unit out was a little difficult on carpet because it lacked a smooth underside, causing it to get caught. Despite this, the unit proved to be durable throughout several tests, and the zipper never got caught or broke off—it was even able to endure the weight of our 11-pound dog with no signs of wear and tear. Each container is also extremely sturdy and flexible, and after six months of use, they are exceeding our expectations.
Material: Polyester blend | Dimensions: 33 by 17 by 4.5 inches | Closure Type: Zipper
