Helpful tips
Use these loading tips to improve your chances of fitting FRIHETEN Sleeper sofa, Skiftebo dark gray in VW Polo 2021.
Optimize opening width
Keep the narrow edge leading while entering the opening.
Keep a straight loading path
Keep the package straight and level while loading.

About the VW Polo 2021 boot
The Polo boot is a supermini boot: short, fairly wide, and easy to load low. The opening is 36¼″ across but only 27⅛″ tall, so tall boxes are the first thing to catch. Seats up you get 26″ of floor, fine for a shop or a couple of cases, not for long cartons. Fold the bench and it opens to 54⅜″, a gain of 28⅜″. The good part is the floor: 40⅛″ wide at the narrow point and almost flush with the sill, just a 3⅛″ drop. With the sill at 27½″ you can slide flat boxes straight in without lifting over a lip.
About the FRIHETEN Sleeper sofa, Skiftebo dark gray package
The FRIHETEN sleeper sofa is the big one: two packages, and the larger box measures 81¼″ by 36″ by 14½″, with the set weighing 225 lb 15 oz. That is nearly seven feet of solid, dense box, so both the length and the weight work against you, and you will not lift it alone. The main package needs a long, flat load bay, which realistically means a van or a large SUV with the seats down, not a normal car boot. Bring a second person and moving straps. Load the long box first, flat and pushed fully forward, then the smaller one beside it so nothing shifts on the drive.
