Expert analysis

A queen mattress measuring 60 in × 80 in × 10 in fits in a container, with about 5 in to spare at the tightest point. The binding dimension is width: in its best-fitting orientation, the width is what comes closest to the limit, and it still clears. The persisted calculation steps support the reported tightest-point margin. That margin already subtracts a <1 in handling allowance, so it reflects a realistic load rather than a paper-thin theoretical fit. One caveat: item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled.

How we verified this

Binding axis: Width
Tightest clearance: 5 in clear
Result: Every axis clears

+5 in clearance

· ON THE WIDTH AXIS

It fits with clearance on every axis.

Every axis clears the opening — width is the tightest.
A <1 in handling allowance is already subtracted.
No tilting or compression needed.

AVolume inequality✓ PASS

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

↓ SUBSTITUTE

48000 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 133659

Plain English: Packed together the item fills about 36% 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}\; 65\quad(\text{width})

↓ EVALUATE

60\,\text{in} \;\le\; 65\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +5\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the width, the item is 60 in and the space allows 65 in — 5 in to spare.

CAxis inequality · depth✓ PASS

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

↓ SUBSTITUTE

80 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 98\quad(\text{depth})

↓ EVALUATE

80\,\text{in} \;\le\; 98\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +18\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the depth, the item is 80 in and the space allows 98 in — 18 in to spare.

DAxis inequality · height✓ PASS

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

↓ SUBSTITUTE

10 \;\overset{?}{\le}\; 21\quad(\text{height})

↓ EVALUATE

10\,\text{in} \;\le\; 21\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +11\,\text{in}

Plain English: Along the height, the item is 10 in and the space allows 21 in — 11 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\; 119.4\,\text{in} \;\Longrightarrow\; \Delta = +18.9\,\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.
