Ensuring Your Sofa Fits Perfectly in Your New Home

One of the most frustrating challenges when getting a new sofa is discovering that it doesn't quite fit through the doorway or up the stairs. To help you avoid this issue, we have prepared a concise guide to assist you in planning. Kindly follow the steps outlined below.

Before we make a start -

1. Measure Your Sofa and the Access Points:

Sofa Measurements: 

Please take note of the dimensions of your selected sofa using the boxes provided below. You can find these in the overview section on our product page, and you'll need to refer to them while taking measurements. Measure the height, width, and depth of your sofa, and remember to include any protruding parts such as armrests or legs.

• Sofa Height
• Sofa Width
• Sofa Depth
   

Doorways and Hallways: 

Measure all doorways and hallways where you plan to place the sofa. Consider the narrowest points, such as the doorway width or any tight corners to get into the room. Remember to take note of any potential obstructions such as radiators, shelving, skirting and light fittings. As long as the widths at the narrowest point are greater than the height of your sofa, all should pass through smoothly.

• Doorway Height > Sofa Width?
• Doorway Width > Sofa Depth?
• Narrowest Point in Hallway > Sofa Height?
   

Stairs

If your sofa needs to make it up some stairs, measure the width of the staircase at it’s narrowest point. Remember to take any handrails or light fixtures into account. If this distance is wider than the height of your sofa then it should fit. If you have a bannister and the sofa needs to be lifted over it, check that the distance between the bannister and the ceiling is greater than the depth of the sofa. Once at the top of the stairs, make sure there is enough clearance on the landing for the couriers to manoeuvre your sofa into the chosen room.

• Staircase Width > Sofa Height?
• Height between bannister & ceiling > Sofa Depth?
• Landing Height > Sofa Width?
   

Lift/ Elevator? 

Does your building have a lift that we’ll need to use? If so, measure the open-door height and width, and the depth of the lift to make sure it will fit inside. If the dimensions are greater than the width, height & depth of your chosen sofa, this is fine. 

• Lift Height > Sofa Height?
• Lift Width > Sofa Width?
• Lift Depth > Sofa Depth?
