Separate the components on the inventory
A divan may have two bases and a separate headboard; an ottoman can include a heavier lifting mechanism. Give the dimensions of the largest rigid part and say whether the frame is assembled. Identify mattresses separately, including quantity and condition. This is a transport enquiry for usable belongings, not a mattress-disposal booking.
Plan bed & mattress collection around your Coventry access
For Coventry moves, identify whether either address is inside a controlled city-centre access area and obtain the building's loading instructions. A key or concierge booking does not grant vehicle access through a bus gate. Give floor level, lift measurements and the lawful vehicle-to-door carrying distance so the move can be assessed with any access permission in place.
Measure the item in its travel condition and the tightest doorway or turn. Ask the seller to confirm what can be dismantled and who will prepare it before collection.
- Check the precise Coventry access zone and permission separately from the recipient's delivery appointment.
- For bed & mattress collection, prepare: frame and mattress sizes; bases, slats and fittings; preparation and assembly needs.
Keep the mattress and fittings protected
Agree suitable protective packaging before the day and keep surfaces clean and dry. Do not assume a mattress can be folded; check its instructions. Bag small fittings and label them for the correct frame. If you need the bed taken apart or reassembled, describe that work in the enquiry rather than leaving it until arrival.
Before collection is confirmed
- Check the route for the headboard and longest frame section.
- Confirm who prepares the bed and retains the fittings.
- Agree the receiving room and carrying help at delivery.
Your Coventry enquiry checklist
- For bed & mattress collection, have these details ready: frame and mattress sizes; bases, slats and fittings; preparation and assembly needs.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV1 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
