Sofas for Narrow Stairs and Buildings Without an Elevator

Many older European buildings were not designed around bulky furniture delivery. A compressed sofa gives you more options because the package is smaller before expansion.

Start from the delivery route

Before comparing styles, check the smallest point in the delivery route: entry door, stair turn, corridor width and apartment door. Package dimensions matter as much as the final sofa size.

Choose flexible formats

Single-seat, modular and sofa-bed formats are usually easier to place in difficult homes. If the room may change later, choose a lighter layout rather than one large traditional frame.

Let the sofa recover

After opening the vacuum package, allow 24-72 hours for the foam to recover. Keep space around the sofa during the first recovery period.
