Sofa Door Fit Calculator
Measure your doorway's clear width with the door open, and enter the sofa's depth and height, plus its diagonal depth if the maker lists it. The calculator checks it the way our delivery measuring guide does, with 2 inches of clearance, and lists sofas in stock that would go through flat.
How the calculator sizes it
- Measure the doorway's clear width with the door open, at its narrowest point. Check every doorway, hallway turn, stairway and elevator on the route, not just the front door.
- Flat: if the sofa's depth or height, whichever is smaller, is at least 2 inches narrower than the opening, it goes through on its back or side.
- Angled: otherwise compare its diagonal depth, from the top of the back frame down to the front of the arm, with the opening, again leaving 2 inches.
- Taking the door off its hinges adds about 2 inches of width.
- Sectionals arrive in pieces: check the largest piece.

Frequently asked questions
How do I know if my sofa will fit through the door?
Compare the sofa's depth or height, whichever is smaller, with the doorway's clear width, leaving 2 inches. If both are too big, compare its diagonal depth: sofas are angled through doors.
How do I measure a sofa's diagonal depth?
Measure from the highest point of the back frame diagonally down to the front of the arm or seat. If the product page doesn't list it, ask before you buy.
What if the sofa won't fit through the door?
Look for a sofa that ships in sections or has removable legs, take the door off its hinges for about 2 more inches, or try another entrance.
