What it does
This free tool helps you estimate the right pod size based on what you plan to store or move. It is a simple first step, not a final quote.
You will answer a few questions about your items, like the rough room count or the type of items (boxes, furniture, appliances). Then the tool gives a size recommendation you can use to compare options when you get matched. If you are unsure, it will help you think in practical terms, not guesswork.
If you want a wider checklist first, see How much storage do I need?. It can help you count items more clearly.
Use the tool
You can use the Pod Size Finder right now. Follow this quick method, even if you only have a rough estimate.
First, list what you have most of. Start with the big categories: couches, beds, tables, dressers, bikes, and major appliances. Then estimate how many boxes you have. If you do not know, think in terms of “a few,” “several,” or “many,” and choose the closest option.
Next, decide your space situation. Are you storing everything from one home, or only a portion? If you are moving, are you moving one-bedroom, two-bedroom, or more? Choose the closest match.
Finally, review the recommendation. If your list includes a lot of bulky items, lean toward the larger size. If you only have boxes and smaller furniture, the smaller option is often enough.
What to do next
After you get your recommended size, go to StowMatch to get matched with available storage options. Do not worry if you are slightly off. Many people adjust after they confirm what fits.
Next step: head to Get matched and share your dates and location. StowMatch will help you find options that match your size and timing.
Common questions
Is this tool a guaranteed fit?
No. It is a recommendation tool. The best result comes from using your closest estimate of rooms and item types.
What if I am between two sizes?
If you have bulky items like sectional couches, large desks, or lots of shelves, choose the larger size. If you mostly have boxes, choose the smaller size.
Can I use this for moving and storage?
Yes. The tool works for both. You can use it whether you are storing items for a few weeks or moving to a new home.
Do I need exact measurements to use it?
No. You just need a practical estimate of what you have and how much of it needs to fit.
