🔍 What it looks like:

• You can walk into it

• Fits lengthwise furniture like a sofa, mattress (including king size), dresser, bike, and stacked boxes

📦 What can fit inside:

• A king or queen bed

Most standard couches will not fit in a 5×5 storage unit, especially if they’re longer than 5 feet — which most are. A typical sofa is 6 to 8 feet long, so it won’t fit unless it’s a small loveseat or can be stored upright (and the unit height allows it).

👉 For most couches, a 5×10 self storage unit is a better fit.

🛡️ Why cover it?

• Dust protection: Even in clean storage units, dust can settle over time.

• Scratch prevention: Covers protect fabric and leather from accidental scuffs.

✅ Best practices:

• Use a breathable furniture cover (not plastic wrap) to avoid trapping moisture.
