Anyone good at sofa through doorway solving?

[Ohbuddyhell]

A friend has one of these which they've kindly offered me but obviously I have to pay a man and van which isn't cheap (still cheaper than me buying new sofa bed tho!)

My smallest doorway it must get through is 73cm

Do I have a hope in hell? There's no obvious way but maybe there's wriggle room?

Just can't afford to get stuck with a sofa in the doorway!

Does the shop still make it? Go to the shop with the dimensions of your door and a plan of the hall and room you are trying to get it into and ask them if it's possible. You may need to pretend you want to buy one.

I love that the sofa is even called Rachel PIVORT!

Iv already called DFS and pretended

They said they'd come out to do a survey and wanted me to buy it there and then

Sponge bob

Vertically?

hate to rain on your parade, but we had a beautiful sofabed once. Slight hallway remodel post purchase, and no longer able to be moved. We did the only sensible thing and sold the house with it as a 'bonus feature'

Up on one end. And pivot it is the only way to go.

We had one that had to be taken back and swapped in a similar set up. Two seat sofa bed.

Like this. I've moved a lot of sofas!

Thanks NotMe

That's how I'm hoping it might work...

The diagnol from the bottom corner to the nearest part of the arm/back is 60 so that should work?

It easily went through their 80cm door but then that's a whole 7cm more than Iv got

We had a similar DFS sofa and you could detach the whole arm sections by removing the fabric under the sofa and undoing some screws.

It wasn't a sofabed though.

The first sofa we bought got stuck at the top of the stairs as we couldn't get it through the doorway. We climbed over it for 3 months then moved flats.

To get an extra cm (if you're handy with filler) you could take the architrave off the latch side of your doorframe,then saw the doorframe at the top and pry that off.
then if you get sofa in just fix back in place,fill and paint.
(Last resort I suppose of the removal people can't get it in living room and just leave in hallway.)
I agree with pps who have said remove door and sofa legs.

Did you get it? Did it fit? On tenterhooks here.

Daisy beat me to it. PIVOT!

Is it in?

Pay for an experienced furniture mover, that will be the difference between getting it in or not.
That is good advice - I paid for 'man with van + helper' type thing last week to move some stuff and they were RUBBISH compared with real movers. Made a right meal out of carrying a sofa and things down the steps in the flat that me and DP had carried IN so knew it was totes possible. DP has a bad back at the moment or we would just have done it.

Take the doors off. Gives a bit more manouevring space.

I had to pay a glazier to take the lounge window out, is that an option if the door is too small?

Just read further and noticed it's not ground floor, never mind!

Nice sofa...did you manage to get it in in the end

Sorry to keep you all hanging - I've been knocked sideways by a flu bug so haven't even organised the man/van yet - I hope to do it in the next few days.

Struggling with selling mine to make room for manoeuvreing more or holding on to it just in case we have a disaster. I have taken one door off ready tonight though

It fitted fine with a little PIVOT and injury to delivery men's fingers. I sent him away with a Thomas Tank plaster

Great news! Poor delivery man but he must aporeciate how coveted those plasters are!
