Not all of us live in spacious mansions or in apartments with individual planning. Owners of a large house can afford to choose furniture, paying attention primarily to its appearance and aesthetics. Those who live in typical high-rise buildings have the opportunity to decorate their interior with only such soft furniture that fits into this limited footage.
In one- and two-bedroom apartments, where the design does not presuppose a clear zoning of space, the room can be a bedroom, a living room, and sometimes even a nursery. And to place there a classic bed and a sofa for daytime rest is simply not possible. However, the furniture industry offers us a large number of "2 in 1" models. Having purchased a folding sofa bed for daily use, you decide the question with a place of rest and at the same time save a useful space.
And now let's find out what should be a comfortable sofa bed for daily use!
How to choose a sofa bed?
In small apartments most often corner couches are purchased, however, linear models are not uncommon today.
The most important difference between models of upholstered furniture of this category is the mechanism of transformation. Such a sofa can be very easily and quickly turned into a spacious sleeper. And since this action is carried out daily (in the daytime the design is used as a sofa, and at night it is laid out), then the mechanism should be strong and durable.
So, the most typical for sofa beds "2 in 1" are such mechanisms as:
- withdrawable - simple and reliable at the same time, great for long-term use;
- "Dolphin" - present in the corner sofas, does not require special physical effort;
- "Eurobook" - this mechanism is almost eternal, since there is simply nothing to break down there. He also assumes a large niche for linen;
- "Click-clack" - unfolds like all known mechanism "book", but it has an intermediate position of the backrest, convenient for rest reclining;
- "Accordion" - has the principle of accordion. In the unfolded form it looks like a double bed, but it also has armrests. The sleeping place is wide enough and, in addition, high.
- Another mechanism, found in more expensive models - Sedaflex , in which the spring mechanism can be up to 14 cm high. Such dvang-beds are a transitional option between everyday and guest models.
Also, when choosing a sofa, an important factor is the filler. Its most popular types are polyurethane foam (a synthetic material that perfectly holds the shape), Bonnel spring block (such springs will not deform) and independent springs "PocketSpring" (such a sofa can withstand even considerable loads without bending under heavy weight, and has anatomical characteristics). Of course, the ideal choice for daily use is a sofa bed with an orthopedic mattress, which gives the possibility of a comfortable rest at night.
Upholstery furniture is also worthy of attention. This can be microfibre, thermo-jacquard, rug (budget options), flock, jacquard, velor, artificial leather (medium price category), tapestry, velor / velvet, genuine leather (higher grade). Expensive varieties of upholstery are made up of natural fabrics, and also have useful practical properties - they do not fade with time, do not ignite, do not get dirty.
Not the most important, but still significant criteria of choice are and such as the depth of the seat, the degree of elasticity of the surface of the sofa, the presence of a box for laundry and, of course, its appearance.
