Frequently Asked Questions
Will a queen mattress fit through a standard doorway?
Yes, when turned on its side. The 10" thickness passes through a 32" door with clearance. The key challenge is the 80" length — you may need to tilt it diagonally in tight hallways.
What is the minimum room size for a queen bed?
A queen bed fits best in a room at least 10' × 10' (100 sq ft). This allows for nightstands and a 2-foot walkway around the bed. A 10' × 12' room is ideal.
How do I move a queen mattress up stairs?
Stand the mattress on its side and slide it up along the wall. Two people are recommended — one guiding from above and one pushing from below. Use mattress straps for better grip.
