Will a full/double mattress (54"×75"×11") (137x203x25 cm) fit in an elevator?
Expert analysis
Your full/double mattress (54"×75"×11") will likely fit if you tilt it at an angle, with a comfortable margin once it is in the right orientation.
The elevator is the tightest point. Plan on some maneuvering rather than a straight pass-through.
These are based on typical dimensions, so measure your specific item and space to confirm.
It fits if you tilt it through.

How the elevator-cab check works
An elevator gate is a 2D opening (cab door) followed by a 3D box (cab interior); items must enter the door AND fit inside the cab.
- Generate the 6 item permutations and test each against the elevator door opening (width × height).
- For permutations that enter, test against the cab footprint (depth × width) once inside.
- If the item is longer than the cab depth, check whether it fits rotated diagonally across the cab.
- Subtract 1.5 in handling clearance on each axis for movers loading and pivoting the item.
- 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.
Cab dimensions come from the building’s posted load plate; rotation diagonally fits longer items than the cab depth alone.
Dimensions

- MEASUREDDetected mattress, sizefull
- MEASUREDEstimated depth, height from local_db (depth, height not provided by user)
- MEASUREDUsing standard passenger elevator cab dimensions68"W × 54"D × 90"H
- MEASUREDUsing standard passenger elevator door36"W × 80"H
Space geometry
- Door opens fully to the cab interior width
- No protruding handrails or guards inside the cab
Handling
- ±¼ in tape-measure tolerance applied
- 1.5 in handling clearance subtracted from raw margins before the verdict
- Item treated as rigid but rotatable — verdict assumes you can tilt it through the constraint.
