It is good when the bed in the children's room complements the sofa. On it, the child can read books, play, get around with friends and sometimes receive guests with an overnight stay. It's another matter if the nursery is not large or at all, then it remains to choose one thing or ... purchase a sofa bed.

• After all, a children's sofa, unlike a bed, looks more "ceremonial", it is compact, has additional storage space and a soft back that covers the cold wall.

Unfortunately, not every pull-out sofa is suitable for everyday use instead of a bed. In this article, we will give a few tips to help you choose a children's sofa bed or an ordinary "guest" sofa.

Is a sofa instead of a bed a great idea or not?

First, let's see how smart the idea of ​​replacing the bed with a sofa is, and which is better - a bed or a sofa bed?

Arguments against"

• Children from 7 years old up to the oldest adolescence should sleep on an orthopedic mattress. Finding a sofa with good filling is not so easy, because the sofa mattress is most often dependent on the frame.
• The sleeping place of the unfolded sofa has at least one joint.
• The choice of sofa mattresses (including those independent of the frame) is much smaller than the standard ones. If a child has problems with the health of the spine, then it will be difficult or even impossible to find a mattress individually selected by an orthopedist.
• The sofa bed needs to be unfolded / assembled daily, and the linens laid and cleaned.

• The sofa is more easily soiled, as it is completely upholstered in fabric.
• It is much more difficult to instill in the child the habit of making the bed on his own.
• A sofa with a mechanism, unlike a regular bed, is much more likely to break and wear out early.
• Most often, a sofa, unlike a children's bed, does not have sides that protect the child from falling.
• Some models require a lot of space when unfolded.

Arguments for"

• A sofa bed is good because it allows the child to sleep, play, and receive guests.
• Almost all sofa beds have storage boxes for bed linen.
• The bed, unlike the sofa, is more traumatic, since it has sharp corners and a rigid frame that you can hit on, say, during games.
• The folded sofa can be quite compact - 90-100 cm wide, and the bed usually takes about 110 cm.

Conclusion: for a small nursery, it is rational to use a sofa bed instead of a bed, provided, firstly, a high-quality orthopedic mattress, and secondly, if the child has a healthy spine and leads an active lifestyle.

11 Tips for Choosing a Guest or Standing Sleeping Sofa

Tip 1. The sofa bed for daily sleep must have an orthopedic mattress

An ideal orthopedic mattress for children from 7 years old - with independent spring blocks, hard or medium firm and natural filling (coconut coir, jute, seaweed, holcon, etc.). It is such a mattress that will best ensure the correct position of the child's spine during sleep.

• Besides, children's mattress for constant sleep, it should be thick - at least 6 cm, and preferably about 12-16 cm.
• When testing a children's sofa with independent spring units, listen for the squeak of the springs under load. Ideally, it shouldn't be heard at all.

For children under 7 years old, a springless orthopedic mattress made of medium-hard polyurethane foam (PPU) is recommended. For children over 7 years old, a polyurethane foam mattress can and should be chosen harder. The following tips will help you choose a good kids sofa:

• Conscientious manufacturers indicate the maximum weight permissible load on a sleeping place. We recommend giving preference to a sofa (regardless of the degree of rigidity) with medium (up to 110 kg) and high (up to 140 kg) indicators. The service life of sofas with an average maximum permissible load is 5-7 years, s high rates- about 10 years.
• Check with the seller if polyurethane foam is monolithic, that is, consisting of a single piece, and not of several thin layers. The last option children are contraindicated.
• It is good if the sofa consists not only of polyurethane foam, but also of coconut coir.
• A high-quality children's sofa made of polyurethane foam should be dense and resilient in order to quickly regain its shape after a load and not to slip over time. When choosing between two sofas of the same hardness in a store, you can compare their quality. To do this, you just need to press on them with your fist and determine which of the tested mattresses is the best for pushing your hand back.

Advice 2. The worst option for an interior and sleeping sofa is with a soft polyurethane foam mattress

Cheap sofas with PU foam mattresses are usually soft to medium firm. Neither babies nor teenagers can sleep on them every day. A soft polyurethane sofa is not suitable for a children's room and as a guest room, as it will quickly lose its shape and rinse.

• The service life of such a sofa made of polyurethane foam does not exceed 3 years, and the maximum load weight is up to 90 kg / one berth.

Tip 3. To improve the orthopedic properties of the mattress, you can use a mattress topper

You can soften or stiffen the mattress, as well as close the joints of the folding sofa, using a thin topper mattress (mattress topper) 3-6 cm thick, consisting of coconut coir or orthopedic polyurethane foam. The toppers are easy to roll and can be stored together with bed linen right in the drawer of the couch.

Tip 4. A versatile and safest type of children's sofa bed - a couch

For teenagers and children over 6 years old, the couch is ideal. After all, it is so beautiful, compact and multifunctional. Most of the couches can be used as a single and double bed, as a storage space and simply as an interior sofa for guests.

• The main advantage of the couch is the independence of the mattress from the frame. This means that you can choose the mattress yourself and change it if necessary.
• Another plus of most couches is the roll-out transformation mechanism, which is appreciated for its reliability and ease of layout.

IKEA couches are very popular: Hemnes, Flaxa and Brimnes.

By the way, the Brimnes couch can be easily turned into a real sofa with your own hands by adding a backrest to it. To do this, you just need to cut a beautiful shape out of plywood, and then upholster it with foam rubber and fabric. The photo below shows two examples of such a rework.

The following selection of photos presents couches Russian manufacturers in real interiors.

If you wish, you can order the manufacture of a couch according to your size and design. For example, it could be a couch with an upholstered back, which is actually a secret cabinet door. The details of such a sofa can be seen in the next photo slider.

In addition to the couch, it is worth paying attention to the ottoman - a one- or one-and-a-half-sleeping sofa without a back, with a small back at the head or two armrests. It most often does not unfold, but has a lifting mechanism. The ottoman is compact, cute, easy to use for a child and versatile. It is good not only as a sleeping place, but also as an ordinary interior sofa.

An ottoman without a headboard is a great option for arranging sleeping places in.

Tip 5. The most suitable types of sofa-bed transformation mechanisms: "euro-book", "roll-out" and "sedaflex"

The following types of children's sofas are suitable for daily sleep:

• "Eurobook" (eurotachta, eurosofa). Pros: easily unfolds, when unfolded does not take up much space, therefore it is suitable for, has a large berth, there are storage boxes, due to the simplicity of the mechanism, such sofas break less often. Cons: the berth is quite high.

Tip 6. The guest sofa can have a mechanism of the type: "click-gag", "accordion", "book" or "French clamshell".

• "Accordion". Pros: large sleeping place for 1-2 people. Cons: requires a lot of space in front of you, it is difficult to unfold, the mechanism is often unreliable, does not have storage boxes.
• "French clamshell"- Pros: easy to unfold; because the folding bed is hidden, the design of the sofa can be very beautiful. Cons: the mechanism is not too reliable, the mattress is too thin, and requires enough space in front of you to lay out.

• Dolphin corner sofa. Pros: easily unfolds, durable, forms a large berth, when unfolded takes up the same amount of space as when assembled. Cons: joints, big size, more suitable for living rooms.

Tip 7. The base of the sofa bed should be slatted (orthopedic)

The base of spring armor is a prerequisite sleeping sofa for the child, as it contributes to the correct position of the body during sleep.

• When choosing a children's sofa, specify what material the armor is made of. All other things being equal, you should give preference to a sofa with a beech or birch base over pine.
• The slatted base must be on a metal frame. Before buying furniture, make sure that the welding points are reliable.

Tip 8. The size of the bed should correspond to the height of the child

Whichever sofa you choose, the size of the bed should correspond to the height of the child.

• The optimal length of the sofa bed can be calculated using the formula: child's height + 50 cm. If after 3-5 years you do not want to update the furniture, we recommend buying a sofa bed for growth, that is, with a margin of length.
• The minimum permissible width of the bed is 80 cm. Of course, the wider the sofa, the better.
• The universal size of the bed is 190x90 cm.

Tip 9. The most practical upholstery of a children's sofa is synthetic and ... removable

Upholstery - important criterion choosing a children's sofa. It should be practical and unbranded, easy to maintain and beautiful. Usually manufacturers indicate how many abrasion cycles a particular material can withstand.

• According to GOST, the minimum coefficient of abrasion of the upholstery according to the Martindale test is 20 thousand cycles. The higher this indicator, the longer the material will last in excellent condition.
• Ideally, the upholstery of a children's sofa should be removable, preferably with anti-vandal impregnation and made of synthetic material(flock, chenille, thermohacquard) or mixed (linen / cotton with polyester).

• Keep in mind that velor, although beautiful and quite practical, does slip off the sheets.

• A sofa made of leather or eco-leather, despite its durability and practicality, is not suitable for a child even as a guest one. In winter and autumn it will be cold to sit on, and in hot weather the skin inevitably begins to sweat on it.

Tip 10. Choose a neutral design and color for your child's sofa

When choosing a sofa, even for a three-year-old toddler, it is worth giving preference to a model with an almost “adult” design, namely with upholstery in soothing colors, without a pattern and traditional shape. The color of the upholstery can be matched to the tone of the walls, curtains, carpet or other textiles / piece of furniture in the bedroom.

Nursery interior with brown sofa

• Too "childish" design of a sofa (for example, a toy sofa) should be chosen with care. Firstly, variegation and bright colors distract the child from sleep. Secondly, they overload the interior. Thirdly, such sofas just get bored very quickly. In addition, when the child grows up, it will be somewhat more difficult to resell furniture, say, in the form of a flower or a typewriter.

Of course, it is necessary to take into account the child's desire, but you should not follow it entirely. After all, the tastes of a child are changeable, and Beautiful design may turn out to be of poor quality filling.

This will give you the opportunity not only to appreciate the convenience of the design, but also to instill in the child a sense of frugality and sympathy for the future sleeping place. And don't forget to celebrate the great purchase with your whole family.

Additional lighting, which is organized with the help of spotlights, can make such an interior more spectacular.
