What Size Van Do I Need for Multiple Furniture Items?
Delivering several furniture pieces at once — a sofa, dining set and wardrobe from one order — needs a long-wheelbase (LWB) van, which holds around 13m³. A Luton van steps in when the order includes a large wardrobe, a bed, or more than three or four major pieces, since those items take up disproportionate space even when there are few of them.

Why we recommend this van
A single new sofa or a single wardrobe fits a small or short-wheelbase van easily, but furniture orders rarely come as one item — a new lounge suite is often a sofa, an armchair and a coffee table together, or a bedroom refresh is a bed, a wardrobe and drawers in one delivery.
The LWB van's 13m³ is sized for that kind of multi-piece order.
Once an order includes a large wardrobe or a bed frame alongside other pieces, volume adds up fast, and we step up to a Luton van rather than risk a tight fit. Tell us the full item list — not just 'a few furniture pieces' — when you book, so the van matches the actual order.
What typically fits
- A sofa, armchair and coffee table together
- A bedroom set: bed frame, wardrobe and drawers
- A dining table with a full set of chairs
- Several boxed or flat-pack items alongside assembled furniture
- Mixed orders from more than one shop or seller

Frequently Asked Questions
What size van do I need to deliver a full lounge suite?
A sofa, armchair and coffee table together typically fit a long-wheelbase van's 13m³. A larger corner sofa alongside other pieces may need a Luton van — tell us the exact items when you book.
Can multiple furniture items from different shops be delivered together?
Yes, tell us all the collection addresses and items when you book and we plan a single route sized for the full order, rather than requiring separate deliveries per shop.
Does furniture need to be assembled before delivery?
No, we can transport flat-pack or part-assembled furniture as-is. Assembly at the destination is available as an add-on if you would rather it arrive ready to use.
