Sofas, beds and a Holmfirth cottage door that opens into the front room

Cottage front doors often open straight into the living room, which helps a sofa, but the stair to the bedrooms rises from that room and is often steep. A sofa bound for the front room has the easier route; a bed for the top floor is the harder job. Beds are dismantled and rebuilt, so a frame is rarely the issue. A king-size mattress or a divan base is what has to bend round the stair turn.

Split divan bases go up stairs that a single base cannot. If you are buying a new bed for an upstairs room in an older cottage, a split base is worth choosing. For a sofa, loose back cushions come out, and corner units separate into their sections. Send the retailer's dimensions before you order, and we will check them against your measurements.

Sofa & Bed Delivery in Holmfirth: your questions

Will my corner sofa go into a cottage?

It can, because corner sofas come apart in sections. Send the size of the largest section and photos of the door and stairs, and we will check it.

Can you put my bed together?

If it is an existing bed, yes, we take it apart and rebuild it. A new flat-pack bed is delivered in its boxes.

What happens to the old sofa?

It stays with you; we can move it to another room or the garage. Kirklees Council's bulky waste service is one option for it, so check what it takes.

Can you bring a mattress still in its wrapping?

Yes, and leaving the factory wrap on is a good idea on a stepped path in wet weather. A rolled or boxed mattress is easier still, because it can be carried upstairs before it is unrolled in the bedroom.
