Our pick: the Wotendy Underbed Storage Box with Wheels, Foldable Underbed Storage Container with Handles, Black — the best Under-Bed Storage we tested, from £27.50.
Under-bed space is some of the most wasted storage in a UK home, but low bed frames rule out plenty of boxes on the market. We measured clearance heights and tested lids, wheels and seals on bags and boxes to find which ones actually slide under a standard divan.

FAQ
How much clearance do I need under my bed for storage boxes?+
Most UK divan beds have 15-18cm of clearance, which fits low-profile boxes such as the Wotendy wheeled box. Bedsteads and ottoman bases can vary considerably, so measure the gap before ordering.
Are underbed storage bags better than boxes for bedding?+
Fabric bags like the SONGMICS set are lighter and easier to squeeze into an awkward gap, but plastic boxes with sealed lids such as the IRIS Ohyama set give better protection against dust and moths for long-term bedding storage.
