WillMALM Bed frame, high, white/Luröy, Standard Doublefit in aPeugeot 308 2022?

The Peugeot 308 gives you a hatchback boot that is short but usefully deep. The opening is 96 cm wide by 74 cm tall, and the floor runs 78 cm with the seats up, stretching to 148 cm once you fold the rear bench, a gain of 70 cm. The narrow point of the floor is 82 cm across, so wide flat loads sit fine, but anything past 78 cm long needs the seats down. The load lip sits 70 cm off the ground with a 17 cm drop, so heavy boxes lift in then settle low. It takes suitcases and boxed furniture well, long flat-pack less so. Fold the seats before you load, not halfway through.

The MALM bed frame ships in four narrow cartons, the largest 194 cm long, 25 cm wide and 8 cm thick. The boxes are slim, which is the easy part. The length is the catch: 1.94 m sits awkwardly across most boots with seats up. A hatchback with the rear bench folded, an estate or an SUV is the safe bet. Combined weight is 48.3 kg across the four boxes, so it is a two-person lift. Stack the long boxes flat with the heaviest at the bottom, and slide the bundle in along the centre.
