Under-bed storage, measured
How many storage bins fit under your bed?
Enter your real frame, rail, leg and bin measurements. UnderBedFit draws the layout, compares rotations and checks whether each bin can actually slide back out.

Clear layout
All placed bins fit below the buffered height and have a straight path to an available edge.
No account. No measurement upload. The math happens in this browser.
The method
A fit is more than volume.
Cubic volume cannot tell you where a center rail lands, which orientation wastes less floor, or whether a rear bin is trapped.
Map the true footprint
Use the clear space inside the frame—not the mattress label. Add rails, legs and hardware as obstacles.
Test both orientations
The planner tries each permitted 90-degree rotation and compares bounded, deterministic arrangements.
Check the exit path
Every placed bin is tested for a straight route to a side you can access. Geometric fit and daily usability stay separate.
Five-minute measuring guide
Measure the frame, not the mattress.
Product pages often list interior capacity or round to a nominal bed size. UnderBedFit needs the physical envelope that exists in your room.
- Width: clear span inside the left and right frame edges.
- Depth: clear distance from head to foot inside the frame.
- Height: floor to the lowest rail, slat, motor or bolt—measured in several places.
- Obstacles: width and position of rails, legs, drawers, cables and hardware.
- Bins: widest outside points with lid, wheels and handles installed.
Practical buffer
Leave enough height to avoid scraping the lid and enough lateral room for imperfect flooring, fabric sides and your hands.

Good measurements, useful answers
Before you slide anything under the bed.
How do I measure the space under my bed?
Measure the clear width and depth inside the frame, then measure from the floor to the lowest rail, slat, motor or hardware. Use the smallest height you find and include wheels, lids and handles in each bin measurement.
Are mattress-size presets exact?
No. Presets are editable starting points only. Frames, rails, legs and adjustable-bed hardware change the usable footprint, so measure the actual space before buying bins.
Does a geometric fit mean I can pull every bin out?
Not always. UnderBedFit separately checks for a straight path to each side you mark as accessible. A bin may fit under the bed yet still be blocked behind another bin or support.
Why should I enter outside bin dimensions?
Outside dimensions determine whether a bin physically fits. Include protruding handles, wheels, lid lips and any room your hands need. Interior capacity is not used for placement.
Does UnderBedFit store my measurements?
