Will it fit?

Ten minutes with a tape measure now beats a sofa stuck on the stairs later. Measure the sofa, then measure the route it has to travel.

Every drawing shows the sofa at its widest and tallest point, with the feet on. A sofa set is simply its two sofas together — a 3 + 2 is the 3 Seater and the 2 Seater drawn above.

Step one

Measure the sofa

Every sofa we sell lists its dimensions on the product page. Write those three numbers down — you'll be comparing everything else against them.

Width

Measure straight across at the widest point, arm to arm. On most sofas that's the outside of the arms, not the seat.

Depth

Measure from the back of the frame to the furthest point at the front. Scatter cushions and a rolled arm can push this out further than you'd expect.

Height

Measure from the floor to the top of the back, with the feet on.

Diagonal depth

Measure corner to corner — from the top of the back down to the front edge of the base. A sofa usually goes through a doorway tilted, so this is the number that decides whether it turns.

Allow for the packaging. We wrap our sofas securely, without bulky cardboard, so they still fit through tight gaps — but add a few inches or more on top of the sofa's own dimensions.

Step two

Measure the route

Walk it the way the sofa will: from the van, through the front door, to the room it's going in. Measure the tightest point on the way.

Measure the opening itself, not the frame around it — and measure with the door open, since the door and its handle eat into the gap.

A sofa that fits the room can still fail at the second turn in a hallway. Measure every pinch point, then take the smallest one.

Doorways

Measure the opening with the door open, at its narrowest point. Handles, beading and draught strips all count. If the door can come off its hinges, measure both ways.

Hallways and turns

Measure the width of the hallway and, at any corner, how much space there is to swing the sofa round. A tight turn needs more room than a straight run.

Stairs

Measure the width between the wall and the banister, the headroom above the steps, and the space on any half-landing where the sofa has to turn.

Lifts

Measure the lift door opening, the internal depth and the internal height. Note whether the lift is the only route, or the stairs are an option.

The room itself

Mark the sofa's footprint on the floor with tape or newspaper before you order. Leave room for doors to open, radiators, and walking past.

Measure twice

Take each measurement a second time before you order. Tape measures slip, and a centimetre matters at a doorway.

Smallest number wins

The tightest point on the route is the one that decides. Compare it against the sofa's diagonal depth, not its width.

Write it down

Keep the numbers somewhere you can find them. If you ask us to check, they're the first thing we'll want.

Before you order

The checklist

Work down this list with a tape measure. If everything clears, you're good.

Sofa width, depth, height and diagonal depth, taken from the product page.
Front door or communal entrance — opening width and height, door open.
Every internal doorway on the route, at its narrowest point.
Hallway width, and the space available at each turn.
Stairs: width between wall and banister, headroom, and the landing turn.
Lift: door opening, internal depth, internal height.
Ceiling height at any point where the sofa has to be tilted upright.
The room: footprint marked out on the floor, with space to walk past.
Anything fixed in the way — radiators, meter boxes, low pipework, a tight porch.

Leave yourself room. Allow a few extra inches beyond the sofa's diagonal depth at the tightest point on the route.

Your sofa arrives in sections, and every one is made to pass through a standard UK doorway. The route still has to clear.

Quick answers

Will a sofa fit through my door?

Almost always. 2 and 3 seaters arrive in one piece, larger sofas and corners in sections — and every sofa is designed to pass through a standard UK doorway. It's the route beyond the door that usually decides it. The number that matters at a tight spot is the sofa's diagonal depth: if it clears your narrowest opening with a few inches to spare for the wrapping, you're good.

Work through the steps above and compare the diagonal depth on the product page against the tightest point on the whole route, not just the front door.

How do I measure a doorway for a sofa?

Open the door fully and measure the opening at its narrowest point. Handles, beading and draught strips all count, so measure between them, not across the frame. If the door can come off its hinges, measure both ways.

Then compare that width against the sofa's diagonal depth — a sofa usually goes through a doorway tilted on its end, so diagonal depth is the number that decides whether it turns.

Do sofas come apart for delivery?

It depends on the model: 2 and 3 seaters arrive in one piece, 4 seaters in two, and corner sofas in sections. Every sofa is designed to pass through a standard UK doorway. Assembly is available as an optional extra on delivery day.
