Isn't "infinite bounded" a contradiction in terms?

Infinity or it's concept is a really difficult conundrum.
Yet, if you think about it, a finite universe is actually harder to swallow. As soon as you postulate it's finite (implying a boundary) you can't help but ask yourself "what's on the other side of that boundary?", which whatever it is must be part of the universe as well (the universe being "everything"). It is quite possible that all the "stuff" is huddled together in some corner of the infinite void but there is simply no way one could imagine a bounded void.
