  • 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. 
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?
