Rating of the best chair beds for 2022

The armchair-bed has been a sought-after element of the interior since its inception. If initially its task was to solve the problem of lack of space in small-sized Soviet apartments, now, thanks to an interesting design and a variety of finishes, it has become not only an element of convenience, but also of style.

How to choose a chair-bed

Transforming chairs are distinguished by convenience, practicality, ergonomics, and versatility.They can be used as part of the interior of the living room, office, small bedroom. In order for this piece of furniture to serve for a long time and properly in each of the specific cases, you need to approach its choice as thoroughly as possible.

The main criteria for choosing such an element of furniture include:

• dimensions.

This criterion includes both the dimensions of the chair and the room itself. It is logical that in a small bedroom of 10 square meters. m volumetric models with wide armrests will be inappropriate. And, on the contrary, in a spacious living room, a small-sized chair standing alone will look out of place. When buying such a piece of furniture, you must also consider how it will fit in the room when unfolded. The size of the place to sleep is also important, especially if this piece of furniture is bought for an adult and for daily use.

• transformation mechanism.

The most common are the following mechanisms: accordion, roll-out, dolphin, clamshell, book, eurobook, etc. Each of them has its pros and cons. The main thing is that the process of transformation should be within the power of those who will use it. We will consider each of them in more detail below.

• frame material.

The frame of the chair-bed can be made of chipboard, wooden beams or metal pipes. The first option is characterized by lower cost, the second - by strength, the third - by ease of construction. It does not matter what the frame is made of, the quality of its components and the correct assembly are more important. When buying, it is worth checking how the furniture is assembled and disassembled, whether there are extraneous sounds, friction, etc.

• filler.

When choosing a filler, it is worth deciding how often the chair will be used as a bed. If daily, then you should pay attention to fillers with orthopedic properties.The best option in this case would be a combination of a spring block and polyurethane foam (PPU).

• upholstery.

The quality of the upholstery largely determines how long the furniture will retain its aesthetic appearance. Most often, manufacturers use velor, flock, matting, artificial or natural leather. Each of these materials is not only beautiful in its own way, but also easy to care for. In addition, manufacturers often give the buyer the right to choose not only the color, but also the upholstery material, which largely helps to make the right choice.

Also, when choosing transforming furniture, you should pay attention to the height of the sleeping surface and the presence of irregularities on it, the presence of a linen box, removable covers.

Consider the most popular models of chair-beds with various transformation mechanisms.
