Sofa & Bed Delivery in Otley

The narrowest point on the way to an Otley living room

In the yards and folds behind Kirkgate and Bondgate, the way in is sometimes a covered passage from the street, and a three-seater has to travel through it on its end before it ever reaches a door. Houses on the rising ground towards the Chevin often sit above the road with a flight of outside steps, which is fine for a sofa but slower, so it is priced in. Upstairs flats near the Market Place add a stair that may turn at the top. Each of these is a measurement, and each can be checked from a photo.

Beds follow the same logic. A divan in two halves will go where a one-piece base cannot, so choose the split version for a bedroom up a narrow stair. A bed frame you already own is taken apart before it travels and put back together in the new room. Mattresses go in a cover, stood on edge for the carry, and are never bent double. For a newer house at Garnett Wharfe or a family house in Newall the carry is usually short, and a sofa, a bed and a mattress can all arrive together.

Checks to make before ordering a settee for an Otley house

• Width of the passage into a fold behind Kirkgate or Bondgate, or of any gate before the front door
• Number of outside steps up from the road on the Chevin side, and whether there is a handrail to work around
• Diagonal depth of the sofa, which decides whether it can be stood upright in a hall
• Whether the feet unscrew and the back cushions are loose
• For beds: a split or solid base, and the ceiling height where the stair turns
