Expert analysis

A queen mattress measuring 60 in × 80 in × 10 in likely fits in a container, with about 5 ft to spare at the tightest point. The binding dimension is width: that is the axis where the queen mattress runs out of room. The persisted calculation steps support the reported tightest-point margin. One caveat: checked as one rigid piece: not compressed, bent, or taken apart.

AVolume inequality✓ PASS

\sum V_{\text{item}} \;\le\; V_{\text{container}}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

48000 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 2073260

Plain English: Packed together the item fills about 2% of the space's volume — plenty of room by volume.

BAxis inequality · width✓ PASS

d_{\text{item}} \;\le\; d_{\text{space}}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

60 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 120\quad(\text{width})

↓ EVALUATE

60\,\text{in} \;\le\; 120\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = {+60}\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the width, the item is 60 in and the space allows 120 in — 60 in to spare.

CAxis inequality · depth✓ PASS

d_{\text{item}} \;\le\; d_{\text{space}}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

80 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 180\quad(\text{depth})

↓ EVALUATE

80\,\text{in} \;\le\; 180\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = {+100}\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the depth, the item is 80 in and the space allows 180 in — 100 in to spare.

DAxis inequality · height✓ PASS

d_{\text{item}} \;\le\; d_{\text{space}}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

10 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 96\quad(\text{height})

↓ EVALUATE

10\,\text{in} \;\le\; 96\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = {+86}\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the height, the item is 10 in and the space allows 96 in — 86 in to spare.

E3D space diagonal✓ PASS

\mathcal{D}_{3D} = \sqrt{L^2 + W^2 + H^2}

↓ SUBSTITUTE

\sqrt{60^2 + 80^2 + 10^2}

↓ EVALUATE

100.5\,\text{in} \;\le\; 236.7\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = {+136.2}\,\text{in}

Plain English: Corner to corner the item reaches 100.5 in — keep that swing room in mind for the turn after.

How the container-fit check works

A container is a fully 3D box — length, width, AND height must accept the item simultaneously; corner reachability is a soft second constraint.

Treat the container as a 3D box and generate the item’s 6 dimension permutations (3 axes × 2 flips).
For each permutation, apply the constraint: item ≤ container on length, width, and height simultaneously.
Check reachability — items longer than arm’s reach can’t be loaded all the way into the back corners.
Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for the mover’s grip plus pivot room.
Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js, shared with door): FITS ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.

Interior dimensions use the published spec; door rails, ribs, and floor lashings can shave 1–2 in off the usable corners.
