Sofa size and delivery

Will my sofa fit? Check the room and doorway.

Enter the room, the tightest opening, and the size of the largest piece arriving at your door. The numbers shown are an example; replace them with yours, then tap Calculate dimensions.

1. Your room

Room width sets the sofa wall. Enter only the width blocked by a doorway, radiator or other fixed feature.

2. The tightest delivery route

Measure the clear opening with the door fully open. Use the narrowest hallway.

3. Finished sofa size

Use the full assembled width and depth to check room placement.

4. Largest delivered piece

For a sectional, use its largest separate rigid module. Ask the seller for packaged dimensions too.

How we calculate your sofa fit estimate

This is a simple planning screen using the measurements you enter. It does not model the three-dimensional movement of a sofa through your home.

Room width

Maximum sofa width = room width in feet × 12 − blocked wall width − twice your chosen end space. The suggested starting range runs from 12 inches below that maximum up to the maximum, with a 48-inch lower floor. That range is an editorial starting point, not a comfort standard or a recommendation for a specific product.

Room depth

Depth allowance = room depth in feet × 12 − 30 inches for a path − 38 inches if you select a coffee table. The table option assumes a 20-inch table and an 18-inch sofa-to-table gap. The displayed upper sofa depth is capped at 42 inches, even when more space remains. The displayed range starts at 30 inches; a smaller allowance is flagged. These are fixed planning assumptions, not building-code or accessibility requirements. A deeper sofa may still fit your actual layout.

A worked room example

In a 10 × 12 foot room with no blocked wall and 18 inches at each end: 120 − 0 − 36 = 84 inches maximum width, giving a starting range of 72–84 inches. With a coffee table, the depth allowance is 144 − 30 − 38 = 76 inches, but the displayed depth remains capped at 42 inches. Test the actual product footprint, door swings and walking routes on your floor.

Straight opening screen

We use the smaller of your clear doorway and hallway widths. We try each pair of the largest rigid piece’s three dimensions, in both orientations, against that width and the door height. We add 2 inches to each compared dimension as a handling allowance; this is 2 inches total, not 2 inches on each side.

For example, a 78 × 30 × 28-inch rigid piece can clear a 32 × 80-inch straight opening in the 30 × 78 orientation after the allowance. That result says nothing about whether there is space to stand it up, pivot or carry it safely.

What the result leaves out

Turns, stairs, elevators, diagonal tilting, the approach to the opening, packaging, furniture flex and safe handling are not simulated. If you select a tight turn, staircase or elevator, a basic opening match still needs delivery-team review. Use the largest packaged piece when the seller requires boxed delivery, and check every checkpoint with the measurement checklist.
