Will a king size bed (193x203x36 cm) fit in a space?
Expert analysis
A king size bed measuring 76 in × 80 in × 14 in fits in a space, with about 4 ft 3 in to spare at the tightest point. One caveat: item is rigid and cannot be compressed, bent, or disassembled.
- Tightest clearance
- 4 ft 3 in clear
- Orientations checked
- 6
- Result
- Every axis clears
It fits with clearance on every axis.
Your king size bed will fit, with comfortable room to spare — enough to move through without scraping.
Handling: Slide the item straight through the opening in its narrowest orientation.

How the door-passage check works
A door is a 2D opening — width and height matter; depth (path length through the doorway) doesn’t.
- Generate all 6 dimension permutations of the item (3 axes × 2 flips).
- For each permutation, apply the door constraint: item_width ≤ door_width AND item_height ≤ door_height.
- Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance from each axis to leave room for human movement.
- Pick the permutation with the largest minimum-axis margin — that’s the orientation a mover would choose.
- Verdict ladder (verdict-tiers.js): FITS if margin ≥ 2 in; FITS_TIGHT if 0.5–2 in; FITS_VERY_TIGHT if 0–0.5 in; DOESN'T_FIT below.
Tolerance ±¼ in (6 mm) is applied implicitly (band promotion to FITS_VERY_TIGHT) — see the note below the orientation matrix.
Dimensions
- MEASUREDSpace is emptyno existing furniture or items blocking the path
- MEASUREDCeiling height assumed 8ftnot measured
- MEASUREDDetected bed, sizeking
- MEASUREDEstimated width, depth, height for king size bed from local_db
- MEASURED36" primary walkway minimum (ADA-style guideline, not code)
Space geometry
- Square corners and a flat floor
- No trim, fixtures, or hardware protruding into the opening
- Door swings fully open (90°+) and stays open during passage
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.
