Have you bought an IKEA sofa and are wondering how to transport it home? This guide shares tips to help you take it home in your car without spending more on delivery and logistics.
First things first. It will be a great idea to buy Ikea chair covers to protect the original upholstery from damages such as scratches and probably dust. Covers will also go a long way in your sofa’s maintenance as they are removable and washable.
Trunk, Backseat, or Car Roof?
Measure the sofa and the car’s dimensions, and decide where you will carry it by assessing the sofa’s length, width, and height and choose where it will fit – in the trunk, backseat, or car roof. Check the door and trunk openings, or the car roof and straps and ensure the sofa fits tightly and securely without damaging the vehicle or the couch.
Now, to the finer details. If it fits in the backseat, ensure all doors are securely closed and no part of the sofa is on the windows. If it’s the trunk, you also need to ensure the trunk is securely closed. Last, if you have a car roof, tightly secure the sofa with straps, especially if you are on an off-road route.
