How to Choose the Right Storage Unit Size in West Memphis

No Guesswork. No Stress. Just Smart Storage.

If you've ever stood in front of a packed garage and thought, “Where did all this stuff come from?”, you're not alone. Choosing the right storage unit size in West Memphis doesn't have to be a puzzle. Whether you're moving, decluttering, or running out of room for your holiday inflatables, we’ve got you covered.


At Better Self Storage, we’ve helped everyone from college students to small business owners find the perfect unit. Let's walk you through how to do it.


Step 1: Know What You’re Storing

Before you rent a unit the size of a shoebox or something big enough to fit a marching band, take a quick inventory of your stuff. Here's a simple guide based on what we offer at our West Memphis location:


  • 5' x 10'  – Perfect for small furniture, seasonal decorations, or boxes from a studio apartment.
  • 7' x 10'  – Ideal for storing bedroom sets, medium boxes, and small household goods.
  • 8' x 10'  – Great for a small apartment setup including mattress sets, dressers, and a few appliances.
  • 8' x 15'  – Suited for a one-bedroom apartment with room for furniture, boxes, and a bit extra.
  • 8' x 20'  – Best for multi-room homes, small business inventory, or large furniture collections.


And here’s the bonus: all of these units come with drive-up access and are  $0 for your first month. That’s right—April’s got sweet deals with no rent due upfront.


Step 2: Don't Pack Like You’re Playing Tetris

Stacking your TV on a box of dishes might seem clever until it all comes crashing down. Choose a unit with a little breathing room so you can move around and reach what you need without turning it into a full-blown workout.


Step 3: Think About Access

Are you planning to store and forget? Or will you be swinging by often to grab seasonal gear or rotate items? If you're coming back frequently, choose a unit that lets you move around easily without digging through boxes like a game of hide and seek.


Step 4: A Little Bigger Is Usually Better

We get it. You want to save money and pick the smallest possible unit. But a little extra space can go a long way. It saves time, reduces damage to your stuff, and lets you organize like a pro.
