Yes, I saw that and then asked why we are so backward in this country. It's like we hate ourselves to the extent that it borders on self-destructive behavior.Stickan56 said:

The backward thing is to have stairs that are so narrow and curved that you can't get a regular bed base up (and can barely walk on them without hitting the wall or railing).
I also had that in the previous house, but there was a balcony on the upper floor with double doors so all such beds had to be taken up that way.

Should you have a big staircase so you can move a bed once every ten years? Or should you use your expensive square meters to heat up better?
My current house is a stairless single-story that you can fix when it's time for a walker. 😂D Dilato said:

Buy a narrower bed.H Hhallden said:
When assembling a staircase like this, you do it from the top, meaning the two upper stringers with steps and risers - without a railing - constitute a run. This run is put in place first, then the lower run comprising the four lowest steps. If you can access and remove the screws holding it against the wall from beneath and behind the lowest run, you might get more space to better raise the bed. Could be worth trying. Good luck....H Hhallden said:
I owned an apartment in Spain in a 1980s building on the 5th floor and had bought a new leather corner sofa. There they offer home delivery at no cost and 2 guys came with the sofa, which of course didn't fit in the elevator, so they had to carry it up with slanted ceilings in the stairwell, and after a lot of effort, they got it up to the entrance door. The next problem was that it didn't fit through the door, so it had to be unscrewed and the legs had to be dismantled. Once inside the hallway, it had to go into the living room, door removed, but 2 cm were missing, so the door frame had to be dismantled. I was super stressed by now, and the guys were soaking wet since it was 30 degrees warm, but they solved it without complaining. I felt obligated to offer them cold beer and 25 euros each; they laughed and were super satisfied, as was I (they also took the old sofa with them without any problem). This would never have worked in Sweden; there, they just dump the stuff on the sidewalk.

Haha, in my teenage years I delivered TVs and appliances, it was only people without elevators who ordered home delivery WITH carrying in/installation. But back then I could carry a 28-inch old Sony TV under each arm, now I can only carry 1...)
"Funny problem" :\
Do you really not have a window upstairs that's large enough?
But sawing the post? Can't you remove the plugs for the screws (as seen in the picture) and unscrew it instead?

The absolute majority of openable windows are pivot windows with a so-called H hinge that allows the window to swing around 180 degrees when opened.P PappasHammare said:
So if you want to bring in a 1200mm wide bed, the window needs to be 13-1400 wide, and how often do you have such wide openable windows...

I've wondered that for a long time too. When I bought my first bed in Sweden, I spent a week shaking my head.RoTe said:
