Check out our list:

• If you're storing upholstered products such as mattresses and sofas in a self-storage facility, it might be a good idea to invest in covers, bags or sheeting to give them some additional protection. Stand sofas and mattresses on end wherever possible to save space and don't stack too much on top of soft furnishings. Mattresses are best stored on the long end and should be ideally raised above floor level or laid on protective sheeting.
• Separate lamp bases and lampshades and wrap them for protection. Use pallets or plastic tubs on the floor. Place boxes, mattress or other fabric-type items on top so they are not directly on the floor.
• Do not store food or perishable items.
• Leave appliance doors slightly open.
• Breakdown tables, chair, and other items so they take up less space.
• Fill boxes to capacity wherever possible to avoid breakages, but avoid making them too heavy – remember you'll have to be able to lift them. You can use materials such as paper or towels or can buy special packing to fill spaces.
• Think creatively and you'll make more space. Plan to use furniture drawers as an extra box (they are especially good for fragile items) and you can use the inside of wardrobes to store boxes. Kitchen appliances such as stoves and fridges can also be used in this way.
• Seal all your boxes with packing tape before you put them in a self-storage facility – this will keep dust out of the contents.
