Will a king bed (406x300x36 cm) fit in a room?
Expert analysis
A king bed measuring 160 in × 118 in × 14 in does not fit in a room, but it's about 9 in too large at the tightest point. One caveat: item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled.
- Binding axis
- Room short
- Tightest clearance
- 9 in over
- Result
- Room short does not clear
It exceeds the opening at the tightest point.
Your king bed will not fit in the room — and it is clearly over the limit at the tightest point.
Handling: The item exceeds the space in every orientation — standard entry won't work.
| Orientation | Min walkway | Strategy | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0° (as-is), long wall | 0 in | — | ✕ |
| 0° (as-is), short wall | 0 in | — | ✕ |
| 90° rotated, long wall | 0 in | — | ✕ |
| 90° rotated, short wall | 0 in | — | ✕ |
| diagonal (1°–89°) | 0 in | — | ✕ |
How the room-fit check works
A room is a 2D footprint — width and depth matter for placement, plus the walkway gap left between the item and walls or other obstacles.
- Place the item footprint inside the room rectangle in the orientation it will be used.
- Compute walkway gaps from each item edge to every wall and to other obstacles in the room.
- Take the minimum walkway gap — that’s the daily-traffic clearance the room must support.
- Verdict ladder (getRoomVerdictTier): walkway <18 in DOESN'T_FIT; 18–24 VERY_TIGHT; 24–36 TIGHT; 36–48 FITS; ≥48 confident FITS.
Walkway thresholds use standard ergonomic minimums; a confident mover may negotiate gaps tighter than the recommended tier.

Space geometry
- Square corners and a flat floor
- Existing furniture footprints already factored out of the usable area
Handling
- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid — cannot compress, bend, or disassemble.
Other assumptions
- A bed is modeled as its mattress — the largest single rigid piece for moving. Frames and headboards detach and are measured separately, so the height shown is the mattress thickness, not the assembled bed.
