Will a single bed (99x191x36 cm) fit in a room?
Expert analysis
A single bed measuring 39 in × 75 in × 14 in is a tight fit in a room, with about 10 in to spare at the tightest point. One caveat: 36" primary walkway minimum (ada-style guideline, not code).
- Tightest clearance
- 10 in clear
- Result
- Fits in its best orientation
It fits — but only just.
Your single bed will fit in the room, though the walkways will be tight.
Handling: Position the item in the room using the orientation that maximizes walkway clearance.

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.
