Will this sofa fit through my door?

For each model we check the largest box and then assembled sofa, whichever the maker states first in that order. A part gets through when its two smaller sides fit the doorway's width and height. Real movers can sometimes tilt or turn a piece through a tighter gap, and a hallway corner or a stair turn can stop a piece that clears the door, so treat a close call as a reason to measure twice. Sizes come from the makers' pages; each model page links to them. Data checked up to November 9, 2026.

Before you measure

Measure the doorway with the door open, from the inside edge of one door stop to the other. That gap is usually an inch or two narrower than the door itself, and it is the number that matters. Measure the height the same way, from the floor or threshold to the underside of the top frame. Do the same for every door, hallway and stair turn on the way to the room: the tightest point decides.

Boxed or assembled

Many sofas sold online ship flat-packed in boxes and are put together in the room. For those, the largest box is what has to get through, and it is often far smaller than the finished sofa. Sofas delivered in one piece have to pass through whole, so their depth and height are what count. Where a maker states the box size, we check the box; where it does not, we check the assembled sofa.

When it is close

If a sofa clears by less than an inch, measure again before you order. Removable legs and back cushions can buy an inch or two, and a white glove delivery crew can often tilt a sofa through a gap that a straight check says is too tight. If a sofa is too big by several inches, look for a modular design that arrives in pieces instead. Our guide on how to measure for a sofa covers rooms and stairs as well as doors.
