It may not be as bad as you think. We had a Hoyer loaner in a small apt. -- 41" long if memory serves (model now discontinued). You only need it to fit one place, and that is to transfer in/out of bed. When we brought the wheelchair into the bedroom for transfers, to transfer into bed, we had to back the wheelchair into the hallway first to make room for my husband to transfer, as, there was never room to actually operate the lift with the bed so long as the wheelchair was there. No big deal. And this was on carpet, which is harder.
The folding ones, if affordable for you, would of course be most convenient for a small place and for travel. We stored our unfoldable loaner in a bathroom we could no longer use much.
Think of your bedroom as a runway where the length of the lift and ability to turn are the key. The cradle rotates, so you will approach the bed at a 90-degree angle. Feel free to post a layout if you are unsure.
