Packed, the standard sofa comes to about 77 lb (35 kg), spread across two rolls and a flat box of metal bars about 16 x 16 x 2 in (40 x 40 x 5 cm). A machine presses the air out of the foam and rolls each piece tight. That is why a sofa arrives as 3 or 4 packages you can manage alone, instead of one that needs a crew. The [roll pack](https://cushionguide.com/glossary/#roll-pack) entry shows the shape. ## Delivery day, and the day after The packages travel separately and may land on different days. If only the bars show up, the rolls are usually still on the road. Once they're all in, open them with care and give the foam time; the [first 72 hours Pattern](https://cushionguide.com/guides/vacuum-packed-cushion-first-72-hours/) walks through it, and the [modular floor sofa atlas](https://cushionguide.com/cushions/modular-floor-sofas/) shows how the pieces go together. Who's carrying yours in, friend? > **Tailor's margin:** A floor sofa roll pack weighs about 22 to 33 lb, light enough for one person to carry. A corner couch ships as 4 packs of 28 to 30 lb. > A standard floor sofa ships at about 77 lb in all: two 33 lb roll packs and a 9 lb box of metal bars. > > — Callum ## Buyer questions **A common question:** How heavy is the corner couch, and how does it ship? **The workshop's answer:** It ships in 4 vacuum-sealed roll packs plus 1 disassembled metal bar set. Each roll pack weighs about 28-30 lb (13-14 kg), so it's easy to carry. **A common question:** Will the sofa come in one delivery? **The workshop's answer:** Usually not. The sofa is vacuum-compressed into roll packs of about 33 lb (15 kg) each, typically 2 rolls plus a small box for the bars, shipped as separate packages (3-4 boxes) that may arrive on different days. A box arriving alone, like just the bars, usually means the rest is still in transit. **A common question:** How big and heavy are the boxes the sofa comes in? **The workshop's answer:** Two cylindrical roll packs of about 12 x 12 x 47 in (30 x 30 x 120 cm) and 33 lb (15 kg) each, plus a 16 x 16 x 2 in (40 x 40 x 5 cm) box of about 9 lb (4 kg): roughly 77 lb (35 kg) in all. Packing is done by machine. **A common question:** Does the floor sofa come compressed, and how heavy is the set with an ottoman? **The workshop's answer:** Yes, every sofa is vacuum-compressed and rolled, and the bars ship unassembled. A sofa with ottoman weighs about 55 lb (25 kg) in total, sent as 3 roll packs of about 18 lb (8 kg) each. **A common question:** How do I open a vacuum-packed roll without cutting the fabric? **The workshop's answer:** The cushion sits right against the plastic, so skip knives and long scissors. Snip the edge away from the cushion and tear the bag open by hand. The foam starts expanding at once and reaches full shape in about 24-48 hours. ## Questions buyers ask next ### Can one person carry a floor sofa roll pack upstairs? Yes. Most roll packs weigh about 22 to 33 lb (10 to 15 kg), and the largest about 33 to 44 lb (15 to 20 kg). Carry them one at a time; the bar box is only about 9 lb (4 kg). ### Will the vacuum packing leave creases in the sofa covers? Some, at first. Creases from the packing relax on their own within about a week, 7 to 10 days for a deep one, as the foam expands. Ironing isn't needed; a low-heat steamer held slightly away can speed it up. ### How long until a rolled floor sofa is full size? Vacuum-packed cushions usually regain full shape within 24 to 48 hours of opening. Allow 48 to 72 hours, and up to 3 to 5 days, before judging. Pulling, shaking and kneading the cushions speeds it up. ## Related at the atelier - [How does the floor sofa ship?
