Upholstered furniture can be presented in several models:
The couch has no back, so it, like the canape, designed for only two people, and with a barely protruding headboard, can be immediately excluded from the purchase list.
The ottoman - the "sister" of the sofa has a solid length, but low, with an armrest on one side and a modest back. It can serve as a sleeping place in a hopeless situation and only for one person.
The sofa is distinguished by a variety of models, but its dimensions are very modest, it is designed for comfortable spending time in a sitting position. You can't sleep on the sofa.
Only the sofa can be placed both in the living room and in the guest room, and in your own bedroom. Modern transformation mechanisms allow you to save space, decorate the interior and have spare comfortable beds for all occasions.
The whole range of upholstered furniture can be divided into models:
An easy way to convert the structure into a sleeper is the process of tilting the backrest back and extending the seat. The only inconvenience is the need to move the sofa away from the wall to create free space.
The model does not require movement from the wall, has a flat sleeping surface and exceeds many standards in terms of width.An excellent feature of this option is reliability. Daily use of the mechanism does not compromise its durability.
A derivative design from the book, but more versatile, provides for both a lying position and a semi-lying position. A nice addition is the soft armrests that can be moved and used as pillows.
A popular type of furniture, it is easy to unfold by extending the seat and aligning it with the back. An additional advantage of the model is the free placement of an orthopedic mattress on it, which has become relevant recently.
A complex mechanism guarantees maximum convenience during transformation. Corner structures turn into a spacious sleeping place with the effort of one hand.
A very comfortable design, in which there is an additional part intended for sleeping under the main seat. It is enough to pull it, and it freely rolls out on rollers, aligning with the main body. Large pillows that served as a back can be used as headrests, or set aside for sleeping.
The mechanism is pulled up, pulled out and placed on the legs. The entire metal structure occupies the internal space, so there is no question of a laundry box.
For frequent use in disassembled form, this model is not particularly successful.
The sofa is transformed in such a way that the upper part of the folded view becomes a support for a bed, and a topper is used as a mattress.
The option has a design with the location of the bed under the seat, after rolling out, the back is placed on the vacant space.This design is primarily used for children's sofas. The reason is the compactness and ease of use, which the child can handle and the mandatory presence of a laundry box.
Quick transformation of the structure without touching the floor using a spring mechanism. The seat lifts up, pulls forward and sets on the floor. Large capacity complements the advantages of the model.
The purpose of the frame selection is to combine such qualities as strength and lightness into a single whole.
It is possible to conditionally divide the whole variety of frameworks into:
Materials tend to transform over time under the influence of:
The correct position of the spine during sleep and rest is like a time bomb - imperceptible in the moment, but has huge consequences over the years.
The supporting effect, which is distinguished by worthy quality, is distinguished by:
The most expensive material is genuine leather of a solid texture. A little less cheaply you can buy a sofa made of pieces of genuine leather. The price will be justified by minimal care for the furniture and its moisture resistance.
Jacquard is a popular material. It is durable, beautiful, looks elegant and luxurious. Pets and small children actively exploiting the upholstery can cause irreparable damage.
Velor - one of the most common upholstery materials - affordable, inexpensive, catchy. The abundance of colors and patterns makes it popular. Velor is easy to clean, but also quickly wipes off. 5-6 years can cause serious damage to the appearance of furniture.
Flock is soft and fleecy, with a change in shades at different angles of incidence of light, but its disadvantages are sensitivity to sunlight, low moisture resistance, static.
Ease of storage captivates users with a simple additional design feature. In the case of a children's room or several rooms for children, a similar bonus is necessary. Adults also appreciate the ability to find supplies quickly and in a convenient, designated area.
An additional thin mattress with orthopedic properties will help even out the flaws in the surface of the folding structure and protect the upholstery from wear.Topper in height, as a rule, does not exceed 7 centimeters and may contain various fillers.
Budget options range from 30,000 to 40,000 rubles among sofas for adults.
Children's models can be purchased from 7,000 to 15,000 rubles.
Corner designs have a higher cost, as well as furniture upholstered in genuine leather.
European brands from stylish designers can set price tags up to several hundred thousand rubles.
An incorrectly calculated load on the structure can soon render upholstered furniture unusable.
The growth of a person who does not go beyond the standards is hardly worth considering when choosing. But if a very tall buyer needs upholstered furniture, then 20 cm should be added to the indicator, then mistakes can be avoided.
The required width of the sleeping place for the buyer is measured by adding 10 cm to the length of the elbows of the lying person spread apart in different directions.
Depending on the expected frequency of transformation and free space, the mechanism should be clearly defined.
The interior does not tolerate errors in upholstery of furniture and structures. The market offers a lot of options, it's a shame not to use this opportunity in full.
It is important to remember that any sofa requires cleaning, preventive maintenance measures and is designed for a certain period of operation. The ratio of own time resources, additional costs for dry cleaning with a pre-selected model will allow you to avoid unnecessary mistakes and waste.
