These top packing cubes are made for disorganised and last-minute packers

Score: 91/100

We’re big fans of Antler’s premium luggage here at the Good Housekeeping Institute and these well-made cubes didn't disappoint. Sturdy zips, water-resistant fabric and a lifetime warranty promise top-tier quality and the four different-sized cubes give you plenty of capacity and versatility when packing. Plus, the front panels make it easy to see what’s inside.

Score: 90/100

This set of two cubes is sleek yet robust. The compression zip works well, and the material is water repellant too. You’ll have to hand wash them when you want to clean them but that's not a deal breaker. Overall, this set is a thoughtfully designed, quality buy.

You can’t see inside this compression cube, but it impressed nonetheless. It's well made, comes with a lifetime guarantee and the addition of an extra compartment for popping in the odd dirty item or worn underwear is a real bonus. The cubes are only available individually but they’re certainly a premium pick.

Score: 85/100

Over packers, this set’s for you as it includes six cubes, making it easier than ever to organise all your belongings. A mesh front also means you can easily see inside, even if that limits how waterproof the cubes are. The accompanying instructions detail the best way to fold everything too.

Score: 84/100

Available in the brand's classic range of muted tones, these cubes successfully keep clothes neatly stored and prevent serious creasing. The mesh tops allow you to see what's inside too, so you can quickly grab whatever you need.

Score: 83/100

There are a few different size options available in this set, and you can get four of the bigger cubes together, making them ideal if you’re packing hold luggage for a longer trip. The cubes are spacious and come with a mesh top, but they lack fancy compression features like some of the other cubes.

Score: 82/100

Yes, this set has a high price tag, but Monos’ luggage has a premium feel. These cubes are lightweight and hold their structure even when empty. The seams are strong, the fabric durable and water resistant (apart from the mesh viewing window, of course) and you can fold them flat when not in use.

Score: 82/100

These cubes have a smart, modern look and offer plenty of space for all your clothes. The zips are good quality and the cubes come with a lifetime guarantee. You can machine wash them if they need a freshen-up too, so your clothes can travel in the clean, protected environment they deserve.

This set of eight cubes also includes a makeup bag and drawstring bag - perfect for divvying up your whole wardrobe. They aren’t compression cubes but the cubes offer ample space for your clothes and the mesh tops let you see what’s inside some of them at a quick glance. A versatile, budget-friendly set.

Patagonia’s cubes are a great investment if you’re backpacking or camping, as they’re fully water resistant. The cubes are all sold separately so are expensive if you're buying multiple but we love that each cube is divided into two zip-up compartments, meaning you can keep everything even more organised.

Score: 75/100

Coming in a set of three, these would be best used for a short break or for keeping sweaty workout gear separate from the rest of your belongings. Mesh windows allow you to see inside without unzipping and we like that the cubes wipe down well without water soaking through.

Score: 74/100

With a robust structure, these cubes are excellent at holding their shape and protecting your clothes from any creasing en route. The compression system works well and we like that you can buy the cubes individually or as a pack of three, making it easy to build up your supply as needed.

Score: 74/100

This lightweight set is ideal for backpackers or campers who need to keep their luggage light, but organised. The material can be completely scrunched up, which is handy for storing; however, this does mean the cubes aren’t great for stacking inside a suitcase.
