Getting a new bed is exciting — but delivery day can become stressful if access isn’t planned. Use this simple guide to ensure a smooth setup.
1) Check Your Access Route
Measure all of the following:
- Front door width
- Hallway width (watch for radiators)
- Staircase turns & bannisters
- Bedroom door width
- Ceiling height on stairs
If tight — look for split-base or flat-pack bed options.
2) Clear the Path
- Move shoes, furniture & obstacles
- Protect floors with cardboard/towels
-
Secure pets safely
3) Decide on Old Bed Removal
- Arrange recycling or collection in advance
- Some delivery services include removal — check options
4) For Tech or Ottoman Beds
- Decide power source location
- Ensure space for storage lids/drawers to open fully
5) Delivery Day Checklist
- You’re home within time window
- Clear access from van to bedroom
- Room vacuumed & ready
- Check parts are included before disposal of packaging
Troubleshooting
- Struggling with stairs? Remove bannister temporarily
- Tight bedroom corners? Assemble inside room only
- Apartments? Measure lift too!
