Plan the whole setup

  1. Measure frame, doors, stairs and walking space.

    Check that your mattress and any base will fit through all entry points.

  2. Include support, bedding and delivery in your budget.

    Consider a frame or foundation, plus sheets, a protector and a pillow.

  3. Confirm building access before booking delivery.

    Review any elevator reservations, loading dock rules or restricted hours.
