Dust bunnies, most likely the remote for the TV and probably a few wallets and sets of keys I lost and could never find…plus, possibly, RTFirefly’s Cat… ---

Two of those plastic flat bins-on-wheels to store stuff. I just pulled them out over the weekend to store away summer clothes and take out winter clothes. ---

The rug Dust bunnies The pump for our Sleep Number mattress Probably a few smallish items that got kicked under by mistake Our bed frame is wood and goes almost all the way down to the floor, so you can’t really put anything under there on purpose (nothing thicker than a thin book, anyway). Both my kids have underbed storage boxes with their bedding and other stuff. My son’s bed at college is on risers so he has footlockers full of stuff. ---

Dustbunnies. There’s only about a 4 inch gap between the bottom of the box spring and the floor so no storage ☹ ---

Guns. Storage boxes with gun stuff in them - cleaning equipment, spare mags, slings, holsters, etc. Maybe a cat or two. ---

Nothing. My frame sits right on the floor, so there is no way to get anything under it. ---

Boxes of off season clothes. Boxes of costumes. Boxes of stuff inherited from one grandma and one aunt. I reall need to go through that last box and get stern with it. Some of it is (select examples of) my uncle’s baby clothes. ---

Nothing, not even dust bunnies. I have pretty bad allergies so my wife vacuums under there bi-weekly while the mattress is leaning against the opposite wall and I’m holding up the box spring. Up until a couple years ago we kept a cardboard box of sex toys and associated paraphernalia, but once the kids got to snooping age, we moved it to a high shelf in the closet. Not as convenient to get to, but worth it. ---

A bleeping mess. Some old papers that I need to go through, some old files that need to be trashed, some weights, a roll-around storage box and 12 tons of dust and dog hair. ---

> [@Edward\_The\_Head](#): > > That’s why you need the dust bunnies, they eat the monsters. That’s why I never vacuum under there. But I like having monsters under the bed. Much better than in the bed next to me, like when I was married. ---

A guitar. A really good, small one - that happens to fit into a case that just gets under the bed. I keep the rest of my guitars in their cases in another room, but like having one I can pull out easily when I have a few minutes and can sit on the end of the bed, with one foot propped up on the case… [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-under-your-bed-right-now/638012.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/whats-under-your-bed-right-now/638012.md?page=3)
