Enter your bed frame dimensions and doorway measurements — the app checks headboards, side rails, and footboards individually.
Bed frames fit through standard doorways when disassembled into individual pieces. Side rails (80" × 6–10") and slats pass through easily. The headboard is the hardest piece — king headboards (76–80" wide) must be tilted on edge to clear a 32" door.
Headboard height (when tilted on edge) vs. door clear width
Item: King headboard: 76–80" W × 48–65" H. Queen headboard: 60–65" W × 48–60" H. Side rails: 80" L × 6–10" W
Space: Standard interior door: 80" H × 32" W clear opening
Tip: Disassemble the bed completely — each piece (headboard, footboard, rails, slats) fits through a standard door individually when tilted.

Always. Modern bed frames are designed for disassembly — headboard, footboard, and side rails connect with bolts, hooks, or bracket hardware. Disassemble into individual pieces, bag the hardware, and label each piece. Each component fits through a standard doorway individually.
A king headboard is 76–80" wide — too wide for any standard door (32" clear opening). Tilt the headboard on its side so the height (48–65") goes through the door width. If the headboard height exceeds 32", angle it diagonally. Most king headboards fit through a 32" door at a slight diagonal tilt.
Platform beds with storage drawers typically have a frame that splits into 2–4 sections. Remove all drawers first (they slide out). The frame sections are usually under 40" wide each and fit through standard doors. Check for connecting bolts underneath — some platform beds require tools to separate sections.
Sleigh beds have curved headboards and footboards that are heavier and bulkier than flat designs. Disconnect the headboard from the side rails (usually 4 bolts). The curved shape means you can't lay it flat against a wall — carry it upright with the curved face forward through the door. Two people are essential.
Pre-1950s homes often have 26–28 inch interior doors — too narrow for modern furniture. Here's what to expect and how to handle it.
Removing a door adds 2–3.5 inches of clearance — often the difference between a stuck couch and a smooth move. Here's exactly how to do it safely and quickly.
Before ordering flat-pack furniture, ensure you have enough room to assemble it. This guide covers assembly space needs for common furniture types.
