How to Measure a Sofa

Jot down the measurements of the furniture you’ve got in mind. Next, open your front door as wide as possible and stretch that measuring tape from the inner left edge of the door frame to the inner right edge of the door (A).

Be sure to measure at the narrowest points if you’ve got a wonderfully wonky old door.

Is that ‘A’ measurement greater than the height of your sofa or chair?

If yes, great! Skip on down to HALLWAY & INTERNAL DOORS.

Nope? No worries – let’s have a look at PLAN B.

If Plan A won’t work for you, we can try carrying your new furniture in on its side. Start by measuring the height of your doorframe from the internal edges (B).

Is the ‘B’ measurement greater than the length or your sofa or chair?

Yes! You’re golden! Just make sure we’ve got enough room to manoeuvre through your hallway and check that your sofa’s got a lower or curved back that will allow us to swing it around as we move through.

Measure the width of your stairs at their narrowest point, taking into account any obstructions. Is that width greater than the height of your sofa or chair? If it’s a yes, then head on down to the next step! If not, we’d recommend browsing more compact models.

If you’ve got a landing along your stairs, it’s important to check we won’t get stuck! Measure the widths and heights of each landing. As long as these measurements are greater than the dimensions of your sofa or chair, then congratulations – you’re set to jet! If it’s too tight, then a smaller frame may be your best bet.

Have you’ve got a railing that we’ll need to lift the sofa or chair over? If so, please make sure that the distance between the top side of the railing and the ceiling is greater than the depth of your sofa all the way along your stairway.

When a door closes, a window opens – and it may be possible to deliver through that window! Consider whether dimensions will allow, while taking into account the internal area around your window so you can be sure we’ve got space to manoeuvre once in. We aren’t in a position to make arrangements such as removing your windows, but it’s worth mulling over this option if all else fails!
