We do not restate the figure, because it is revised with each release, and because a regional average spanning outer suburban houses and central flats explains very little on its own. What does explain London furnishing is flat living. Our analysis finds the defining requirement is dual function, and that the sleeping function of a sofa bed must be specified first, against UK mattress sizes and open footprint, rather than treated as a bonus. Storage is better added in height than depth, since depth comes out of the walkway while height comes out of unused air. A large private rented sector and frequent moves make demountable frames and slightly smaller pieces the more durable purchase."}
