How to Measure a Couch Pull Out Loveseat

Whenever you purchase a piece of furniture for a room, there's a fear that it either won't fit in the space or through the doorway. Sofas with a pull-out bed pose an additional problem, as two sets of measurements are necessary. The bed adds significant length to the sofa, though its presence doesn't affect the moving process because the bed is folded up during transport. Taking accurate measurements of the room and furniture will ensure that you choose a piece appropriate for the space.
