Sofa bed won't fit through door

[Deleted User]

Hi,

Doorway is 70cm(after taking door off) wide and 193 high. Settee under covers atm. But roughly 146cm long x 73cm high x 83 cm front to back. And heavy because of mechanics of the bed. Is it doable?

you've plenty of door height spare, so could wriggle in if upright, then either head first or feet first, put something over threshold to allow sofa to slide.

Suppose we won't know until we give it a go. Just will need others to help.

How big is the window? They’re pretty easy to take out the panes, even for a novice. May need a second person to assist

Not doable according to these measurements, but very likely to be if the bed is first unfolded. Or otherwise manipulated.

Most sofas won't go through most doorways if carried 'like a sofa'. But if placed on its side, it becomes an 'L' looking down on it, and one part will pass through, the sofa rotated slightly, and the other will follow.

Your existing 'sofa' - an 'L' - will become a '-- --' when unfolded :-)

I'm not picturing why it'll fit when unfolded if it won't go through folded.

Think it’s the width that is going to be the problem. 

The window is in 3 smaller panes so taking glass out won’t help.

'Cos it's more flat? At least mine is.

How does the side profile change making it flatter?

It’s only 3cms too big. Take the architrave off the door opening, and remove the door liner and door stops. It will hopefully fit.

Hi OP

I may be able to help but its all subject to the info required etc and I will tell you if its feasible.

Exact & model of the S/bed

The clear opening width of door. How far does the door go back and the space in front.
The area, size of this leading to the door
Legs/feel removeable etc
Height of ceilig both outside and inside the rooms
Both rooms on the same levels etc.

Some pics as well

if you dont kow the make model of the sofa, measurements, lenght, depth, heights of arms, back with legs, open measurements etc

Thanks
