Ask any storage manager which unit size gets rented the most, and the answer is almost always the same: the 10×10. At Sid’s Self Storage in Pembroke, GA, the 10×10 is our workhorse — big enough to hold a full apartment’s worth of belongings, still small enough to keep monthly rent reasonable.
Here’s why the 10×10 is the most popular storage unit size and how to know if it’s the right fit for you.
How big is a 10×10 storage unit?
A 10×10 unit is 10 feet wide by 10 feet deep — 100 square feet of floor space. Think of it as a small bedroom or a decent-sized home office. With our 8-foot ceilings, that’s 800 cubic feet of storage volume.
Every 10×10 at Sid’s Self Storage is drive-up and ground-floor. You back your vehicle right up to the door, roll it up, and load or unload directly. No stairs, no elevators, no carrying things halfway across a parking lot.
What fits in a 10×10 storage unit?
A 10×10 holds the contents of a typical one-bedroom apartment or a partially furnished two-bedroom. In practical terms:
- A queen or king mattress and box spring
- A full sofa plus a loveseat or armchair
- A dining table and 4-6 chairs
- A dresser, TV stand, and coffee table
- Major appliances — refrigerator, washer, dryer
- 30-40 medium moving boxes
- Bicycles, exercise equipment, seasonal decor
You can fit an entire one-bedroom apartment into a 10×10 with room to spare. For a full two-bedroom or larger, you’ll want to look at our 10×20 unit instead.
Who rents a 10×10 in Pembroke?

How to pack a 10×10 efficiently
A 10×10 gives you enough room to organize smartly. A few tips:
- Load large, heavy items first — appliances, mattresses, sofas — along the back wall.
- Stack boxes by category — kitchen boxes together, bedroom boxes together — so you can find what you need without unpacking half the unit.
- Disassemble bed frames and tables to save floor space; keep hardware in a labeled ziplock bag taped to the frame.
- Use vertical space — stack boxes to the ceiling along the sides.
- Leave a center aisle so you can walk to the back if you need to grab something later.
10×10 vs 5×10 vs 10×20 — which do you need?
Not sure between sizes?
- 5×10 — small apartment overflow, dorm contents, seasonal storage. Roughly 50 sq ft.
- 10×10 — full one-bedroom apartment, small business inventory, mid-size move. 100 sq ft.
- 10×20 — two- or three-bedroom home, large moves, contractor equipment. 200 sq ft.
If you’re on the fence between two sizes, most people are happier one size up — running out of room mid-move is worse than paying a few extra dollars a month.
