Elegance Chesterfield Sofa - Graphite Grey Velvet Upholstery - 3 Seater, 2 Seater

Step 1:Check the Dimensions

Take the widest dimensions of the bed you want to buy and check it will fit comfortably in the space you'd like to put it. Ideally, you'll want at least 24 ins (or 60cm) wide of walking around space on either side of the bed and at its foot.

Tip: Using masking tape, mark out the dimensions of the bed you’d like to buy to see how much space it will take up and how easily you can move around it.

Step 2: Check The Surroundings

Make sure you allow enough space around your bed - don't forget to take doors, wardrobes and drawers into consideration to ensure your new bed isn't going to block any of them when they're fully open.

If you’re ordering a bed with storage drawers, you’ll need to allow a minimum of 55cm on either side for the drawers to be pulled out.

Step 3: Check Your Home

Using the bed's widest dimensions, check it will fit comfortably through all your doorways, hallways and up any stairs without damaging paintwork, ornaments, picture frames or windows. Remember, most premium and firm mattresses (not included boxed mattresses) can also be quite deep and should not be bent or folded.

For stairs, all you need to do is measure the shortest distance from the bulkhead A to the nearest step B as shown by the arrow in the diagram. It’s the shortest distance X that’s important.
