What is Your Bedroom Space Problem?

You Realize You're Not JUST Shopping for a Bed, Right?

You have a bedroom space problem, and your specific problem determines the types of functional beds that can make your everyday life a bit less stressful.

Your Organized Bedroom Space Solution

We Know Your Bedroom Space Problem

Your specific problem boils down to one of these 5 major space-saving needs, or a combination of them.

  • You need to fit more people than there seems to be enough space for room sharing
  • You need to multipurpose your room so it's functional for both sleep and other activities
  • You need bedroom storage solutions because there never seems to be enough space for your stuff
  • You need to accommodate guests in a way that keeps the space functional for your everyday needs
  • You have genuinely small rooms or a studio, so you need maximum functionality for your valuable floor space

The wrong furniture works against your sanity and the functionality of your home. The right space-saving bed (or beds, or bedroom set) can help you get a handle on your space challenges, and make everyday life at home better. Understanding which of these core problems is your most important challenge will help us steer you toward the right types of space-saving beds that can help solve YOUR space problem.

We Feel Your Pain Because We've Been There Too

Do any of these sound like you?

  • strained relationships among roommates (especially if it's your kids sharing a room) shoots your stress through the roof
  • clutter from not enough space makes you too embarrassed to invite friends or family over
  • work time and downtime are miserable because both your home workspace and sleep space are dysfunctional...and you worry that Zoom filter will break and show what's really behind you 
  • you’re desperate for a functional area for your hobby, art, or craft you're so passionate about
  • you feel trapped by an “either-or” choice—either you make your home work for guest sleepovers, or you make your home function for your daily life, but not both
  • you dread coming home sometimes because your space seems too small to function

 Been there. It's so draining right?!

Think about what you’re feeling because of your limited space. Maybe it’s just an inconvenience you’ve learned to live with until now. Maybe your circumstances are an overwhelming burden that weighs you down emotionally every single day. Now think about how that would feel if you had to continue living this way for years. If that idea is traumatic for you, don’t despair, there’s hope, and a solution specifically for YOU.

Organize Your Bedroom and Reclaim Your Space

What if you could reclaim your space and take charge of your space limitations? That's where our space-saving beds come in. Designed by top manufacturers to optimize every inch of your bedroom (or living room, or office, or hobby room in some cases), our beds offer a transformative solution to your space-related grief. 

Picture the possibilities and what it would feel like if:

  • Each kid sharing a room gets their own personal space to sleep and for their stuff, so living peacefully with their siblings is possible…and you’re the hero!
  • The clutter is gone and everything is in its place. Not only do you feel free to invite friends and family to visit, you can even invite them to sleep over.
  • Your home office workspace functions efficiently,  and the 15 second commute is  a joy...and you can turn off that Zoom filter that hides your room
  • Your hobby/craft/art space awaits you at a moment's notice and you can create to your heart's desire
  • Your home functions for your needs EVERY day, AND welcomes guests the days they visit
  • Your small home is a well-tuned multifunctional space and you're not missing out by not living somewhere bigger

Look at each of the 5 core space-related problems below and figure out which one is your main problem. Then choose one of the strategies listed for that problem. Next to each strategy is a list of the main types of bed that use that strategy.  Pick one.

You Need to Share a Room

Whether you're an adult living with a roommate or a parent trying to shoehorn 2 to 6 kids into one room, your biggest problem is you need to fit more people in the space.

Sure you have to fit clothes and personal belongings too, but mattresses eat up the floorspace in a room really fast. Fitting the right number of mattresses, and the right size mattresses, for the people living in the room is your primary challenge. We'll work to make storage space for everybody, but getting the bed space right is our 1st step.

Room Sharing Strategies & Bed Types

Fit More People by Stacking Mattresses

The idea behind stacking mattresses is that you're able to efficiently fit 2 or 3 mattresses into the same floorspace as 1. We have beds that can stack up to 4 mattresses in the same floorspace that 1 bed takes.

In a normal sized room, this gives you plenty of space for bedroom storage furniture for everyone.

In smaller rooms where that many beds wouldn't fit, stacking lets you do what seemed impossible.

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress than normal beds for all but 1 of the mattresses in a stack. If you need a thicker comfort mattress for more than one person per stack in a shared room, try our storage in the bed strategy or fold the mattress away strategy.

Bed Types for Mattress Stacking Strategy

For our mattress stacking strategy, we have 4 main types of beds: bunk beds, 1 type of loft bed; trundle beds, and daybeds with trundle. Within those we offer quite a few sub-types.

Note that trundles save space when not in use, but need to roll out from under the bed above for use.

When it comes to stacking for 3 or more people, you can either choose 1 bed that fits the number of people you need to fit (up to 5 in one bed w/ trundle), or you can pick a combination of different beds for your head count.

You can click any of these bed types, and they will open in a new tab. You can proceed to step 4 filtering from there with assurance anything you pick from that page will fit your needs.

Bunk Beds:


Loft Beds:

Trundle Beds:


Daybeds with Trundle:

Fit more beds by putting storage into the bed (1 bed per person)

Multiple beds/mattresses in a room devour limited floor space, leaving nowhere to store clothes and personal possessions. In this strategy, we shift storage space into each person's bed to make room for more beds.

If there's still floorspace available, adding nightstands, dressers, or chest of drawers will help maximize your storage.

Another option if there's still floorspace available is to use it for for desks or seating if you intend to have the room double as workspace or an entertainment area.

Bed Types for Putting Storage in the Bed

For our putting storage in the bed strategy, we have 3 main types of beds: storage beds, daybeds with storage, and low lofts with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Storage Beds:


Low Lofts with Storage:

Fit More Beds by Putting Each Bed Up High & Other Furniture Underneath

When you have room for a bed for each person, but not enough room for the other furniture you need, especially if you need desk space, putting your beds up high is a great solution.

By putting mattresses up high, you preserve all the room's floor space for other furniture.

This strategy is also good if you need to share a room and need a multipurpose bedroom.

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress than normal beds (typically called a bunk bed mattress) so you don't roll off the top. If you need a thicker comfort mattress when room sharing, you'll need to use our storage in the bed strategy, our fold the mattress out of the way strategy, or stacking (see limitations mentioned under stacking).

Bed Types for Beds Up High in a Multi Person Room

For our strategy putting each bed up high & other furniture underneath, we have 1 main bed type: loft beds.

We also offer some types of loft beds that create playspace beneath the loft, but you will still need space in the room for storage furniture if you choose them.

Loft Beds:

Fun Loft Beds:

Fit More Beds By Folding Them Out of the Way

Folding beds out of the way when not in use can make the multi-person room useful for more than just sleeping.

You still need floor space for each bed when in use, but these beds really open up the possibilities for a multipurpose shared bedroom.

Bed Types for Folding Mattresses Out of the Way

For our strategy of folding mattresses out of the way when not in use, we have 3 types: Murphy beds, futons, and beds that hide in seating.

Murphy beds fold against a wall and offer a number of great storage configurations in minimal floor space. You still need floorspace for when the beds are open, but you might find it easier to fit multiple horizontal Murphy beds in a room.

If having seating in your shared room is extremely important, we'd suggest a Murphy bed with couch, or making room for seating by using one of our other room sharing strategies.

We only recommend futons or beds that hide into seating for daily sleep use as a last resort when you can't create enough space using the other strategies.

Murphy Beds:

Futons:

Beds that Hide in Seating:

Considerations for Choosing Your Room Sharing Strategy

Your strategy should depend on how many people you need to fit, what size mattresses, and the size of your room. You might even combine strategies when trying to fit 3 or more people. For example, if you have 2 younger kids sharing with an older sibling, you could stack mattresses for the younger kids, and give the older kid his/her own bed with storage in it.

In the case in which you're an adult sharing a room, and aren't shopping for your roommate too, stacking mattresses isn't really a viable option. 

If you also need to multipurpose the space for a work/study area, tv/gaming area, or playroom, then putting mattresses up high or folding them out of the way will be your best options (unless the room is big enough for desk space or seating after you've created floorspace with one of the other strategies).

By choosing the right floorspace strategy you're setting yourself up for a more tranquil setting. Everyone having their own functional space can help lessen tensions that were there before. And if you want total buy-in from your kids, look at our models with fun features like gaming station, slides, or playhouses. Just include those options in your filters during step 4 of finding your ideal bed!

You Need to Multipurpose Your Room

If you really need the room to serve another purpose besides sleeping, and you're not dealing with a shared room with multiple beds, then your biggest challenge is to multipurpose your room.

Examples of this include home office or study space, tv or gaming area, kids playroom, a hobby/craft/art area, or space for yoga or exercise.

Depending on which activity you need space for, you might need a work surface or seating that takes up just as much floorspace as your mattress. Or you might need some wide open space. Plus you'll still need storage for your clothing and personal belongings, AND storage for the additional activity you're accommodating (like hobby supplies).

Multipurpose Room Strategies & Bed Types

Put Storage Into the Bed to Make Room for the Other Activity's Floorspace Hogs

With this strategy, you'll make room for the other activity's floorspace hogs by shifting some storage from other bedroom furniture into the bed

If there's still floorspace available, adding nightstands, a dresser, or chest of drawers will help maximize your storage.

Bed Types for Putting Storage Into the Bed

For our putting storage in the bed strategy, we have 3 main types of beds: storage beds, daybeds with storage, and low lofts with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Storage Beds:


Low Lofts with Storage:

Put Your Bed Up High to Preserve All the Floorspace for the Other Activity

This strategy is to put your mattress up high , preserving all the room's floor space for other furniture (bedroom furniture AND furniture for your other use)

You have 2 main choices in your approach when using this multipurpose room strategy. You can choose a bed that is wide open underneath to provide you a blank canvas for the space, or you can choose a bed with built-in features underneath, like a desk or storage furniture.

We also offer some beds that create playspace underneath, but you will still need space in the room for storage furniture if you choose them.

Please consider that the bed up high strategy clears floorspace, but limits headroom under the bed.

If your activity requires wide open floor space and maximum headroom , our folding the bed out of the way strategy is better for you.

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress than normal beds (typically called a bunk bed mattress) so you don't roll off the top. If you need a thicker comfort mattress and need your bed out of the way to multipurpose the space, try our fold the mattress out of the way strategy.

Bed Types for Putting Your Bed Up High for Multi Use Space

For our strategy putting each bed up high to preserve floorspace for the other activity, we have 1 main bed type: loft beds.

Loft Beds:

Fun Loft Beds:

Fold Your Bed Out of the Way to Create Maximum Floor Space for the Other Activity

This multipurpose bedroom strategy is to fold your mattress out of the way when not in use to create maximum floor space for the other activity

This strategy provides wide open space and unrestricted headroom when the bed is folded away. The room probably won't even look like a bedroom, which might be what you need for a home workspace that doubles as your bedroom.

Bed Types for Folding Your Mattress Out of the Way

For our strategy of folding mattresses out of the way when not in use, we have 3 types: Murphy beds, futons, and beds that hide in seating.

Murphy beds fold against a wall and offer a number of great storage configurations in minimal floor space. When folded away, they free up the entire room's floorspace and headroom.

Murphy beds are a great option for combo home office and bedroom, and combo bedroom exercise rooms.

If having seating in your shared room is extremely important, we'd suggest a Murphy bed with couch, or making room for seating by using one of our other multipurpose room strategies.

We only recommend futons or beds that hide into seating for daily sleep use as a last resort when you can't create enough space using the other strategies.

Murphy Beds:

Futons:

Beds that Hide in Seating:

Considerations for Choosing Your Multipurpose Room Strategy

Your strategy should depend on how much floorspace you need to accommodate the room's other use, mattress size, and the size of your room. 

If your livelihood depends on your home office or home studio being efficient and organized, prioritize that use when choosing your strategy. Choose whichever strategy keeps your bed functional while getting it out of the way for your primary use. Your room may end up looking more like an office or studio that converts to sleep space, instead of looking like a bedroom with another use crammed in, and that might be what you actually need.

By choosing the floorspace strategy that makes your space multifunctional, you're creating an oasis for work/play and sleep. You can be more productive, more creative, or more relaxed.

You Need Bedroom Storage Solutions

There are three main categories of people who have this primary problem. First, you need to fit all (or most) of your personal possessions into your bedroom because you're an adult who either has housemates or you live with your parents. Second, you're a parent absolutely fed up with your kid's disaster area of a room. Third, you just have more stuff than fits anywhere else in your home.

Yes you need good closet storage and other bedroom furniture for storage, but your bed is taking up a huge chunk of your room's floor space. You need that floorspace back for storage!

Organized Bedroom Storage Strategies & Bed Types

Put Storage IN Your Bed AND Use Storage Furniture to Maximize Capacity

Your bed presents the biggest opportunity to create storage space since it's the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom.

This strategy puts storage IN your bed AND uses other storage furniture to maximize capacity and get your space problem under control.

You can choose from beds with drawers, cubbies, compartments, shelves, or a combination of these storage types. You can even use the ENTIRE area beneath your mattress as a huge storage area.

Bed Types for Reclaiming Your Bed's Floor Space for Storage

For our putting storage in the bed strategy, we have 3 main types of beds: storage beds, daybeds with storage, and low lofts with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Storage Beds:


Low Lofts with Storage:

put your mattress up high , preserving ALL the room's floor space for other bedroom storage furniture

By putting your mattress up high, you can create more space for storage furniture.

You have 4 options using this strategy.

  • choose a bed with open space below & fill it with storage furniture
  • choose a bed with exact fit or built-in storage furniture below
  • pick a bed with built in storage furniture and desk space underneath
  • pick a bed with built in storage furniture underneath and room for a comfy chair or bean bag.

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress than normal beds (typically called a bunk bed mattress) so you don't roll off the top. If you need a thicker comfort mattress, you'll need to use the storage in the bed strategy.

Bed Types to Put Your Bed Up High for Increased Storage Space

For our strategy putting each bed up high & storage furniture underneath, we have 1 main bed type: loft beds.

Loft Beds:

Considerations for Choosing Your Bedroom Storage Solutions Strategy

Your strategy should depend on how much floorspace you need to take back for storage, and the size of your room.

If you mainly have to fit clothing and smaller items that fit in drawers, then any of the bed types with plenty of storage drawers is what you need. If you need to store bulkier items too big for drawers, then an ottoman bed with lift up mattress platform is what you need.

By choosing the floorspace strategy that maximizes your bedroom storage space, you are doing more than just reducing clutter. Your bedroom will be a healthier and more liveable environment. And if the clutter you're eliminating was elsewhere in your home, you don't have to be embarrassed to invite friends or family to visit anymore.

You Need Room for Guests

Whether it's your parents, kids, grandkids, or friends, you need somewhere for them to sleep when they visit. You want something nicer than an airbed (which always seem to find a way to leak during the night). But you need room for guests without dedicating a "guest room" that serves no useful purpose when nobody is visiting.

Maybe you do have a room that could be a "guest room". Maybe you don't have an extra room, and need them to stay in the living room or home office.

Either way, beds that get used less than 30 days a year are a HUGE waste of space if you can't get them out of the way or use the room for something else the other 335 days a year.

Guest Bed Strategies & Bed Types

Hide Guest Beds in a Cabinet

A great way to keep guest beds out-of-sight and out-of-mind most of the year is to hide them in a cabinet.

By folding beds into a cabinet, you take back floorspace and make the room usable when you don't have guests.

Types of Beds that Hide Guest Beds in a Cabinet

When using the hiding guest beds in a cabinet strategy, we're using various types of Murphy beds (also called wall beds).

Murphy beds fold into a cabinet mounted to the wall, and use almost no floorspace when not in use.

Cabinet Murphy beds are the exception. Their cabinet is a mobile piece of furniture that doesn't mount to the wall.

Murphy Beds:

Hide Guest Beds in Living Room Furniture

By hiding guest beds in living room furniture, you can accommodate guests without a dedicated guest room.

Living rooms and family rooms tend to be the largest room in a house, and give you enough space to hide multiple guest beds in plain sight.

Types of Beds that Hide Guest Beds in Living Room Furniture

For our hiding guest beds in living room furniture strategy, we have several main types: futons, daybeds, convertible sofa beds, sleeper sofas, sleeper sofa sectionals, sectional sofa beds, sleep chairs, sofa bunk beds, and ottoman sleepers.

Some of these options have a folding mattress (futons, sleepers). Others have the sleep surface integrated with the seating's cushions (convertible sofa beds and most sleep chairs). Most daybeds use a regular bed mattress.

While most consumers, and even many within industry, use the terms "sofa bed" and "sleeper sofa" interchangeably, we try to use "sofa beds" for furniture that use integrated cushions for the sleep surface, and "sleepers" for those having a mattress that folds into the seating. Distinguishing these terms lets us organize products in a way to make your search a little easier.

Hide Guest Mattresses Under Family Members' Beds

Hiding beds under family member beds is a way to fit guest beds that don't take up any extra space when not in use.

You do need clear floor space to roll the guest bed out for use though, and be willing for guests to sleep alongside family members.

Note: You will be limited to a slightly thinner mattress than normal beds so the trundle can fit under the bed. If you need a thicker comfort mattress and don't want a dedicated guest room, try our hide guest beds in a cabinet strategy.

Types of Beds that Hide Guest Beds Under Other Beds

When using the hide guest beds under other beds strategy, we're talking about trundle beds.

Put the Guest Bed UP High, Preserving ALL the Room's Floor Space for Year-Round Use

If headroom isn't a concern, you can put guest beds up high to keep the space underneath usable year-round.

You have 3 options for using this strategy

  • wide open space below the bed for another use of the area.
  • storage furniture incorporated into the bed
  • desk area below the bed

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress (typically called a bunk bed mattress) than normal beds so your guests don't roll off the top. If you need a thicker comfort mattress and need your bed out of the way to multipurpose the space, try our hide guest beds in a cabinet strategy.

Types of Beds that Put Guest Mattresses Up High

For our strategy putting guest beds up high to preserve usable space underneath, we have 1 main bed type: loft beds.

Loft Beds:

Use Your Guest Room for Storage, Including IN the Bed Itself

Your bed presents the biggest opportunity to create storage space since it's the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom.

This strategy puts storage IN your bed AND uses other storage furniture to convert your guest bedroom into a storage room.

You can choose from beds with drawers, cubbies, compartments, shelves, or a combination of these storage types. You can even use the ENTIRE area beneath your mattress as a huge storage area.

Types of Beds that Convert Your Guest Room to Storage Space

For our putting storage in the guest bed strategy, we have 3 main types of beds: storage beds, daybeds with storage, and low lofts with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Storage Beds:


Low Lofts with Storage:

Considerations for Choosing Your Guest Bed Strategy

Your strategy should depend on how many guests you need to accommodate, how often/long, and how you want to utilize your space the vast majority of the year when you don't have guests. If you need to fit a whole family visiting, you probably need to use more than one strategy.

It doesn't hurt taking a look at our discussions above for room sharing, bedroom storage, and creating a multipurpose room since all those problems can be relevant to fitting guests while maintaining usability for yourself and your family.

Some strategies are a better fit for you and your guests than others. You wouldn't expect grandpa and grandma to climb a ladder to sleep in a loft bed, but grandkids might actually enjoy it. The closer you can get to a normal bed height (neither too high nor too low) for elderly guests, the better.

Choose the floorspace strategy that maximizes year-round functionality of your home while making guests comfortable and welcome the small percentage of the year they visit. You are showing guests you value them without throwing away part of your home for a full-time guest room that gets used 10-20% of the year at most.

You Have a Small Space

You already know if this is your primary problem. If you use your bed as your couch and dining room table in your studio apartment or condo, there's no guessing what your problem is.

If your house, condo, or apartment is bigger than a studio, but is pretty small, you still need maximum functionality in a small footprint.

If this is your problem, you need to take our solutions for the other problems above, and concentrate them into a tiny space. For your home to function, you MUST multipurpose your space AND concentrate your storage, while trying to minimize the impact of your biggest space hog, which is your bed.

If you are sharing a small room, the same challenge applies, but you MUST use small footprint beds to fit more mattresses AND storage or seating.

If you have a small home but also want to accomodate guests, choose the SMALLEST possible guest bed suitable for occasional use, that you can hide somewhere it won't impact how your small space functions DAILY for you.

Function First Furniture Small Room Strategies & Bed Types

Combine Your Bed with Seating

When you need your sleep space to double as your living room, one option is to combine your bed with seating.

Just be aware that as with all small space living decisions, there are tradeoffs.

You likely won't find a great sleep experience and great seating experience in the same piece of furniture if you intend to use it daily (and nightly). If you're a smaller and lighter weight person, you might be an exception. When combining both into one, comfort will be somewhere on a continuum between the two.

Types of Beds Combined with Seating

For our strategy combining your bed with seating, we have a number of options.

We only recommend futons or beds that hide into seating for daily sleep use as a last resort when none of the other strategies will work for your circumstances.

Reclaim Your Big Beds's Floorspace for Maximum Storage

When you live in a small space but must have a queen size or larger bed, that big footprint is a great storage space opportunity.

Use as much of your bed's footprint as possible for storage and you won't regret it. If there's still available floor space, add additional storage furniture or seating.

Types of Large Beds with Storage

Our big bed maximum storage strategy uses 2 main types of beds: storage beds and daybeds with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Note: these collections include smaller sizes, and you will still need to filter for larger bed sizes.

Storage Beds:

Small Bed Size with Storage in the Bed to Fit Seating or Other Furniture

In some scenarios choosing a smaller footprint bed (twin or full) allows you to fit seating or storage furniture in the room. Use this strategy to conserve floorspace, but pack some storage into your bed too.

Types of Small Footprint Beds with Storage

For our putting storage in the bed strategy, we have 3 main types of beds: storage beds, daybeds with storage, and low lofts with storage. Within those types, we offer a variety sub-types.

Note: these collections contain larger beds too, so you'll need to filter mattress size to make sure we only show you smaller bed options.

Storage Beds:


Low Lofts with Storage:

Put Your Mattress Up High, Preserving Valuable Floor Space for Seating, Deskspace, or Storage Furniture

This strategy is to put your mattress up high , preserving all the room's floor space for other furniture (bedroom furniture, seating, deskspace, etc.)

You have 2 main choices in your approach when using this small room strategy. You can choose a bed that is wide open underneath to provide you a blank canvas for the space, or you can choose a bed with built-in features underneath, like a desk or storage furniture.

Please consider that the bed up high strategy clears floorspace, but limits headroom under the bed.

If you need wide open floor space and maximum headroom , our folding the bed out of the way strategy is better for you.

Note: You will be limited to a thinner mattress than normal beds (typically called a bunk bed mattress) so you don't roll off the top. If you need a thicker comfort mattress and need your bed out of the way to multipurpose the space, try our fold the mattress away strategy.

Types of Beds to Put Your Mattress Up High

For our strategy putting your bed up high & other furniture underneath, we have 1 main bed type: loft beds.

Loft Beds:

Fold Mattresses Away to Clear Floor Space for Other Daily Uses of the Room

The more multifunctional you need your small room or studio to be, the more you need your bed out of the way when you're awake. Do you need your room for sleep, lounging, watching tv, eating, and/or working remotely?

Our fold your mattress out of the way when not in use strategy can maximize floor space for other daily uses.

Types of Fold Away Beds for Small Rooms

For our small room strategy of folding mattresses out of the way when not in use to accommodate other daily room uses, we have 1 type of bed: Murphy beds.

Murphy beds fold against a wall and offer a number of great storage configurations in minimal floor space. They also offer some great multifunctional features for small space living. Most fold into a cabinet mounted to the wall, but there are a small number that are freestanding (and take up slightly more floorspace when closed).

Considerations for Picking Your Small Space Strategy

Your strategy should depend on how small the room is, whether you need seating too, how much storage space you need, whether you need a table or desk, whether you're sharing the room, and whether you also need to accomodate guests.

It doesn't hurt taking a look at our discussions above for room sharing, bedroom storage, multipurpose rooms, and accommodating guests, since all those problems can be relevant to making your small space functional for your needs.

Some strategies are a better fit for you than others.

If you have to combine sleep, storage, and seating in the same room, then you need to determine which strategy will best give you all 3 in your room's footprint.

If you do have a separate living room, then choose the strategy that will maximize your sleep comfort and bedroom storage.

If your small room needs to serve another purpose besides sleep, then you'll need to choose the strategy that makes space for other furniture you may need for that use (ie. desk and chair).

Choose the floorspace strategy that maximizes DAILY functionality of your small space. By efficiently using the space you have, you can be happy living in a small home, while not feeling the financial stress a much larger place would cause.
