it should. Just lay it down on the long side when you bring it through the openning.

I had to go out and buy a "split" queen box spring because mine wouldn't fit down the stairs......... . Split box spring was pretty cheap....I'll never have to deal with it again.

Queens are 60 inches wide I think so that should go through the door. the trouble , as was mentioned , is if you got corners to turn and/or stairs to climb. Of course a flight of stairs that turns a corner is death. .

took me almost all day, but...

i once lived in a 1850's house with the four pillars out front...

ok.... and i had to get a one piece shower stall into the house

and there was no way to do it... it was just to big....

so with brand new saws - all blades i totally disassembled

the front door until i got that prick inside then i proceeded

to rebuild the whole door frame piece by piece with 4 inch

screws and plenty of liquid nails so it would be just as strong.

a few years later ...i went by,,,and they had converted it into a

dunkin donuts and a big ole glass front door
had replaced all my work.

A king is easier than a queen size to get in the house - turns and all.

If you have movers, it will depend a lot on them - some will just give up. I had two once who compressed my queen box spring about 3" to get it up some stairs. I have no idea how they did that. It was a real box spring too.

I have the smallest door/hallway with curves in the world. I ordered a king size bed for my room (2 pieces). To this day, I"m amazed that got the king sized mattress in my room. So, sure a Queen should be n/p. If that don't work try the Knight, Bishop, Rook, or Pawn sized beds...

I watched Burkhardt Movers cut my queen box spring, fold it in half, strap it tight, carry it up the stairs and put it back together as good as new. They had a kit with them with metal braces, screws, staple gun etc, just for that purpose. I guess it's common and those guy's are pros.
