Sofa Fit Through Door Calculator

How the “Will Sofa Fit Through Door” Calculator Works

Moving large furniture—especially sofas—through doorways can be a stressful challenge for anyone moving into a new home or redecorating. One of the most common issues is discovering, too late, that a new couch doesn’t fit through your door or around a tight corner. That’s why our Sofa Fit Through Door Calculator is designed to save you time, stress, and guesswork.

Step 1: Measure Everything Carefully

Before you begin, grab a tape measure and record the most accurate dimensions possible:

• Sofa Length: From arm to arm, or the longest edge.

• Sofa Width (Depth): From front to back at the widest point, including arms or cushions.

• Sofa Height: From the floor to the tallest part of the sofa.

• Door Width: The narrowest distance between the door frames.

• Door Height: From the threshold to the top of the frame.

• Door Depth: (Optional) The thickness of the wall or entryway, helpful for tight corners.

You can choose your preferred measurement units (inches or centimeters) with a simple dropdown menu, and all calculations adjust automatically.

Step 2: Account for Removable Sofa Legs

If your sofa’s legs are detachable, check the “Legs are removable” box. The calculator will automatically subtract a typical leg height from the overall sofa height, giving you a more realistic chance for a successful fit. This often makes the difference for sofas that are “just barely” too tall.

Step 3: Enter the Measurements

Input your sofa and doorway measurements into the calculator fields. There are clear placeholders and hints for each field, so you know exactly what to measure and enter.

Step 4: Get Instant Results

Click “Check Fit.”
The calculator immediately runs several geometry checks:

• Will the sofa fit through the doorway upright?

• Will it fit if carried in flat?

• Will it fit at a diagonal angle?

• If you’ve entered door depth, can it fit around a corner?

For each method, you’ll see a clear result:

• ✔️ “Fits!” (with an explanation of the position or method)

• ❌ “Won’t fit” (plus a list of practical tips: try removing the legs, angling the sofa, bringing it through a window, or partially disassembling)

A summary of your measurements appears below, making it easy to double-check or show to movers.
