Item size: a common model, from Sleep Foundation. Real products vary, so measure yours if it is unusually big. Truck size from its page. You can add your own size in the planner.

How to load it

It only goes through the 3'11" × 4'10" door tilted: two people, one at each end, angle it in.
Nothing should go on top of it; load boxes beside it, not on it.
Put it in a mattress bag first; standing it on its edge keeps it from being crushed.
