I was shopping a local furniture store and the salesperson said there is no way to get a couch longer than 80 inches into the front room of an Iris model. 80" is the height of the door entries and you need to bring the couch in vertically to be able to make the turn in the hallway. It seems to me if you brought it in at an angle you could exceed the 80" limit by getting it into the hall, spinning it slightly, and then angling it into the front room.

Does anyone else know if this is true and/or have you successfully moved a couch longer than 80" into the front room of an Iris?

Thanks!

Any sliders in the back?

The problem isn't getting it in the house - it's getting in through the front hallway to bedroom 2 (see attached).

I have a Kingfisher, which I believe is almost the same as the Iris. It has the same angled foyer. We had a 91” sofa brought in through the front with no issues at all. I don’t recall how they brought it in but it certainly doesn’t need to be completely vertical.

If you had any issue then going through the lanai should work also (barring any birdcage issues).

Yes, the foyer is not the issue. The issue is the angled hallway going to the front bedroom.

Oops, I totally missed that you are going into the bedroom. I would think you could get it in by heading toward bedroom 2, then put it vertical in that hall, then angle down toward bedroom 3 then into the front bedroom.

So you got the couch into Bedroom 2 with no issue?

No, just edited my post as I missed that you want it in the bedroom. I still think it wouldn't be an issue. A few angles to mess with.

First go into foyer and go vertical. Then from the bottom bring the couch horizontal. Looks like a fairly straight shot to bedroom 3 if you can't get it back to vertical in that hall. So you go horizontal into BR 3 a bit, then angle it up and vertical in the hall. Then from the bottom bring it horizontal again to go into BR2.

I'm not home to look, but just check that it will make if from foyer into BR3 horizontal. Depends on how those doors line up and the width of the couch.

I had the same problem with a courtyard villa, trying to get a queen size sofa bed into the guest bedroom. I had to downsize to a full size sofa bed and bring it in vertically. The problem is that you cannot go around the corner unless the sofa is vertical and fits under the door frame. It is almost impossible to determine if it will fit in advance.

We had a similar problem in a Gardenia, and had to remove the legs to get a large sofa bed in and later out of the front bedroom.

He is correct…. It is difficult to make that turn in the hall so they have to slide it in vertical.

We were unable to get a 92” sofa in the front room of our Iris due to the angled wall. We ended up getting a loveseat which went in fine.

Problem is I wanted a sleeper sofa for guests.

Might browse and see what IKEA has to offer as some of their couches come disassembled in pieces so moving it into a room will not be an issue only getting it out
