Sofa & Bed Delivery in Normanton

The doorway test for a Normanton settee, and what the stairs decide

On the pit terraces off the High Street the front door opens straight into the living room, so a settee is tipped on end on the pavement and walked in. The limit there is the ceiling height just inside the door, since a tall sofa standing on end has to swing down into the room. A recliner or a sofa with a fixed high back is the one to check, so send its back height with the doorway measurement.

Beds are the upstairs job. Terrace stairs rise steeply and often turn at the top, which is where a one-piece divan base sticks and a split base goes up in halves. A frame you already own is taken apart and put back together in the new room. On the newer estates the halls are wider, but a bedroom door facing the stairhead can still stop a king-size headboard, so photograph the landing too.

Measurements to take before a sofa or bed comes to Normanton

• The sofa's depth and back height, from the retailer's spec sheet or a tape measure
• On a terrace off the High Street, the ceiling height just inside the front door, where a settee on end has to tip into the room
• The stair width at its tightest point and the headroom where it turns
• A split divan base if the bedroom is up a turning terrace stair
• A new bed still in flat-pack boxes is carried up boxed for you to build; a bed you already own is dismantled and rebuilt
• A new mattress stays sealed in its plastic until it reaches the bedroom
