Common questions
Will a couch fit in a cargo van?
A loveseat or small 3-seat sofa usually fits inside a cargo van, but the rear-door opening is often the limiting factor. Measure the door height, not just the interior. Larger sofas and sectionals typically need a 10' box truck.
Can a sectional fit in a pickup truck?
Rarely as one piece. Most sectionals are longer than a pickup bed, so they'd hang out and need strapping. A 10' box truck is the practical choice for a standard sectional.
What size moving truck do I need for a couch?
A standard 3-seat sofa fits comfortably in a 10' box truck with room to spare. A cargo van can work for smaller sofas if the door opening clears.
Can a queen mattress fit in a cargo van?
Yes. A queen mattress is flexible and flat, so it slides into a cargo van easily and uses only part of the space. A pickup works too if you strap it flat and cover it.
Will a dresser fit in a pickup truck?
Small and standard dressers usually fit in a full-size pickup bed. Tall chests may extend above the bed sides and should be laid down or strapped upright carefully.
What matters more: cargo volume or door opening?
Both, but the door opening and the longest single dimension often decide the fit before total volume does. A vehicle can have plenty of room inside yet a door that's too small to get the item through.
Should I disassemble furniture before moving it?
If it drops you into a smaller, cheaper vehicle or clears a tight door, yes. Removing legs, cushions, and modular sections often turns a 'possible with conditions' into an easy fit.
