What Size Couch Fits In A 5x5 Storage Unit?
Smaller couches will probably fit in a 5x5 storage unit but you’ll need to be open to storing it on its side.
Anything like a small loveseat or settee could fit in a 5x5 storage unit, depending on the couch’s exact dimensions. Generally speaking, two-seater couches will most likely fit and some smaller three-seater couches could fit.
If your couch can be taken apart, it’s more likely that it might fit in a 5x5 storage unit. Consider disassembling your couch before storage if you want to get it into a smaller space.
Measuring your couch is an essential first step before exploring storage options. Make sure to measure the length, width and height and then compare the measurements with the dimensions of different storage units.
How Big Is A 5x5 Storage Unit?
A 5x5 storage unit has a width and length of 5 feet - a total of 25 square feet of storage space. The height is usually 8 feet leading to a total of 200 cubic feet of storage volume and offering the potential for vertical storage space - useful if storing a couch.
If you want an easy visual, a 5x5 storage unit would be around the size of a small bedroom or a large walk-in wardrobe.
What Fits In A 5x5 Storage Unit?
A 5x5 storage unit will typically fit a range of items including:
Multiple storage boxes of clothes, objects or miscellaneous items
Some smaller furniture such as a single mattress, small wardrobe, nightstand, dining chairs, small desk or small sofa such as two-seater or a loveseat
Electronics or small appliances - things like a TV might fit in a 5x5 storage unit but it’s unlikely that there’ll be enough room for fridge storage or storing other white goods
Some sports equipment could fit including golf clubs, camping equipment, skis or bikes (if positioned vertically).
How Can I Tell If My Couch Will Fit In A 5x5 Storage Unit?
To know if your couch will fit in a 5x5 storage unit you should:
Measure The Couch
The first step will be to measure your couch. Until you know exactly how big it is, you won’t be able to find the right storage solution.
Measure the width, height and length of the couch to know where to start looking.
Compare Storage Unit Dimensions
Once you have your couch measurements, you can start looking at the dimensions of different storage units. Some storage units will be too small so you can rule them out immediately and save time.
Inventory Of Other Items
If you’re planning to store items apart from your couch, you’ll need to think about what items you want to store and the volume of items. It’s a good idea to do a quick inventory of all the items you want to store and consider their size.
Once you know that, you’ll be able to know how much additional space you’ll need apart from the couch. If you’re looking to store a lot of items, it’s likely that a 5x5 storage unit will be too small.
Doing these things will help you know how much storage you need and how much you might need to pay for storage.
What’s The Best Size Storage Unit For A Couch?
The best size storage unit for a couch could be 5x5 for a small couch but you may want to size up with an 8x8 or even 8x10 storage unit for additional space.
It will depend on:
- The dimensions of your couch
- Whether you’re storing other items apart from a couch
- The volume of those other items
- If the additional items include large, bulky items.
If you’re looking to store all your living room furniture (for example, a couch as well as a coffee table, extra chairs and any additional items) a 5x5 storage unit is going to be too tight of a squeeze.
Remember you’ll also need to prepare your couch for storage to prevent it going mouldy or getting damaged during storage.
