What's the width of your stairs?
Discussion
Hi all - just trying to see what the average width of fellow PH'ers stairs are 
Reason being, mine are 2 foot or 61cm and I thought that was fairly standard. Have spent the last week choosing a new bed and the depth of the divan base was 62cm! A fraction bigger than my stairs clearance - fortunately I discovered this problem before I bought the bed.
I did a google for minimum width of stairs and there doesn't appear to be one, just recommendations for new builds to be up to 80cm.
My house is approx 35 years old and I've lived in others a lot older that have less stair width than I have currently.
Hence, the query, what is the width of your stairs?

Are you sure that's right? With the mattress on top, many people would need a ladder to climb on!I seem to have the smallest width stairs of anyone - I thought it was normal- guess I'm wrong.

If you look at the dimensions it says 62cm for height - and when I was in the store I asked what the height was and was told 2 foot.

It depends where you measured it, outside to outside width is typically 855, maybe up to 905, but not normally that big. Scotland is 915/955.Reason being, mine are 2 foot or 61cm and I thought that was fairly standard. Have spent the last week choosing a new bed and the depth of the divan base was 62cm!
