Hard-sided Luggage and Bed?

[Baxter]

My husband just bought new luggage for our trip, but I'm starting to panic about whether they will fit under the beds. Any one have experience with this?

We have soft sided luggage but is is pretty thick and fit without a problem although I did have to lift the bed frame up a little to slide it under. I don't think you will have any problem geting it under the bed. They are pretty high.

Either they'll fit under the bed or you can open them up and slide them in that way. Most suitcases have a top that opens flat -- just open it and the suitcase will fit.

Excellent advice! I hadn't thought of that...thanks!

We had 2 large hard side Samsonite suitcases, and a couple of soft siders. We put the soft siders inside the hard sided suitcases, and slid them under the beds. No problem, they fit beautifully.

We had a very deep soft side suitcase that wouldn't fit under the bed - Our room steward took it and stored it for us. He kept it in one of their supply rooms on our floor.

We have hard-sided Samsonite luggage and have always been able to fit it under the beds. We've had to pick the frame up once as it was just that much too low and then slide them in, but they've always fit.

We have Samsonite and Delsey both hard sides and they fit under comfortably and ours are the largest they do. But I think the leave it open suggestion is brilliant when you want to throw something in you only have to pull it out like an under bed draw.

Thanks for that great tip anyone got any more, last year someone suggested suction hooks for the balcony door, to hang your wet swimming costume on . I purchased some from IKEA here in the UK what a great tip that was

We usually have plenty of room to store luggage on the floor of the closet.
