Measure the largest rigid component, not the mattress footprint. Headboards, side rails, adjustable bases, and canopy posts decide whether the bed must come apart.

Four measurements

  1. Largest rigid component.
  2. Narrowest doorway.
  3. Stair width and landing depth.
  4. Elevator opening and interior depth.

Inventory the parts

List the headboard, footboard, rails, center supports, slats, drawers, and base. If reuse matters, keep hardware in a labeled bag.

Adjustable and storage beds

These may contain motors, wiring, drawers, and heavy articulated sections. Provide a model or clear photo. Do not attempt electrical disassembly you are not qualified to perform.
