Check the entrance, lift and stair turns
Before buying, measure the narrowest point between the street and the living room. A sealed compressed package can be easier to move than a rigid sofa, but its dimensions still matter. Compare all three package dimensions and the weight with the complete route; do not judge access from the doorway alone.
Plan for a rental apartment
If the apartment is temporary or the layout might change, a single-seat, modular or sofa-bed format can offer more flexibility than one large fixed piece. Measure the finished footprint and any unfolded sleeping position. For a later move, use the sofa's expanded dimensions unless the manufacturer provides specific repacking instructions.
Confirm delivery to your address
Check the postcode and access conditions for your Madrid address before buying. Basic delivery is free in approved standard areas; the destination and any extra service must be confirmed before payment. Do not assume that basic delivery includes carrying the package upstairs.
A practical checklist before you decide
- Mark the finished footprint on the floor with removable tape, including the back and arms.
- Open doors and storage fully; walk the route you use daily rather than measuring only the empty room.
- Compare the sealed package and its weight with the access route. Ask for missing figures before ordering.
- For a sofa bed, repeat the layout check in sleeping mode; moveable tables still need somewhere to go.
