WillSÖDERHAMN 3-seat sofa, Gunnared beigefit in aFord Focus 2023?

The Ford Focus boot is a compact hatchback space that rewards folding. Seats up, you get 77 cm of floor length, which handles the weekly shop, cases and smaller boxes. Fold the rear bench and it opens to 155 cm, a gain of 78 cm, which is where longer flat-pack boxes start to fit. The mouth measures 100 cm wide by 80 cm tall and the floor narrows to 101 cm, so long slim packages travel better than tall bulky ones. The sill sits 69 cm high with an 18 cm drop to the floor, so lift over the lip, then slide the load down and forward.

SODERHAMN 3-seat sofa ships in four boxes, and the headline package runs 190 cm by 95 cm by 33 cm, the kind of bulk that fills a van on its own. The 95 cm width and 33 cm height combine into a chunk that will not fold or rotate around tight corners, so this is not a job for a hatchback or a small SUV. You want a large estate with the rear seats folded, an SUV with a true flat folded floor, or a van. Load the largest box first on its long edge, then layer the smaller boxes around it.
