We know everyone’s home is different and not all stairs are the same. That’s why making sure your chosen bed fits through your doorways and up your stairs could prevent a lot of problems and disappointment on the day of your delivery. Here is a handy guide to make sure your bed will fit into your home.
Step 1: Check The Dimensions
Take the widest dimensions of the bed you want to buy and check it will comfortably in the space you would like to have your bed. Ideally you will want at least 50-60cm wide of walking around space on either side of the bed.
Step 2: Check The Surroundings
Make sure you allow enough space around your bed. Dont forget to include wardrobes drawers to ensure your new bed isn't going to block any of them when fully opening. If you are ordering a divan bed with drawers allow a minimum of 55cm on either side of the bed for the drawers to be opened fully.
3. Check Your Home
Using the beds widest dimensions check it will comfortably fit thorough your doorways, hallways and up any stairs. For the stairs you need to measure the shortest distance from the bulkhead (A) to the nearest step (B) as shown by the arrow in the diagram. Its the shortest distance (X) which is important.
