For example, this choice is suitable in order to furnish the room and give it aesthetics, but not to use it often. For the same goals there are monolithic sofas, they are called unrelaxing them. They can be seen in public places and shopping stores.

A completely different case when the sofa is bought for frequent use in everyday life. So, it can be assumed that such a model will be laid out every day for sleep . To choose the right model And do not make mistakes, you should know and understand which mechanisms for the transformation of sofas.

Sofa transformation mechanisms - briefly about each

Initially, we will define that such a mechanism for transformation of the sofa. Often use another name - the sofa laying mechanism. Professionals prefer the concept of transformation, so I will further use it.

Under these names, the element is hidden, which converts the sofa to various forms and positions. For example, a sofa from a sedent position turns into a sofa bed or a sofa for the "relax" with a partially crowned back. Another example of conversion is a change in the shape of the sofa. For example, an angular sofa can be turned into direct or vice versa.

Why it is important to choose the right mechanism of the sofa transformation

• The mechanism is one of the main, therefore the overall service life of the transformer sofa depends on its reliability.
• The mechanism affects the convenience and ease of the conversion of the sofa to different positions.
• Depending on the transformation mechanism, different free spaces in the room to bring the sofa to the desired positions will be required.
• The type of transformation mechanism depends on the type of transformation. After all, it is under it that the mechanism is hidden from our eyes.

Sofas without transformation mechanisms

Such sofas by definition do not contain transformational elements and are not able to decompose. Sofas without mechanisms are used to create seats for seating two or more people. You can offer this option for a small size. Less often they can be found as a sofa for sleep. Although for people without excess weight, the use of a sofa in this capacity is quite acceptable.

Unlocked sofas can be used as separate sofa modules. Applying several similar modules, especially different sizes, you can change the shape of the sofa modules.

Monolithic sofa is suitable for Hall, for the living room and decorate the kitchen or dining room. Often, such kind of sofas can be found in public places.

Pros: No mechanism, which means there is nothing to break. The service life of monolithic sofas is greater than the service life of folding sofas.

Minuses: No mechanism, there is no possibility of converting the sofa. Monolithic sofas are not suitable for organizing sleeping places, especially if you need to put two or more people.

Mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Book"

The sofa "book" is declined in two positions: a seeded sofa and a sofa for sleep.

The sofa is converted to the position of the sleeping place by folding the back of the sofa back.

During the decay, the movement sofa does not have to do, but it must be borne in mind that the sofa design requires the availability of free space between the wall and the back of the sofa.

The folding parts of the sofa are the frames of their tree or metal with the spring blocks fixed on them in addition to spring blocks, another filler can be used - foam or latex. Sofa with spring block is preferable, as it has the best performance indicators and comfort.

Sofa "Book" often contains inside section for bed linen

Dignity: Durable, reliable, time-tested mechanism. It is suitable for frequent use and organization of a bed.

disadvantages: The sofa can only be decomposed in two positions - sitting and lying. When transformation in the part where the folding parts of the sofa are connected, the appearance of convexity or pimping, which will negatively affect the comfort of sleep. "Book" can not be put tightly to the wall, since the mechanism during laying requires free space between the wall and the back.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Tango"

When preparing this article, it was faced with the fact that manufacturers make up their own names for the same type of properties to mechanisms. Because of this, confusion occurs. So and in the case of the Tango mechanism.

Such properties have the mechanism "Click-Clack". In essence, both the other mechanisms are the similarity already described above "books".

The main difference from the "book" It consists in the possibility of "tango" ("Click-Clak (Cleak)") to take intermediate positions of the sofa backrest during layout.

The back in addition to the complete horizontal decay may be in the middleback position, half-sidia. This feature creates additional convenience for recreation.

Sofas "Tango" have a storage section

With the "Pantograph" the same story as with the sofas "Tango". For the sake of the red sense, sellers and manufacturers have come up with a number of bright names in fact of the same mechanism. So, what else was able to meet under the mask "Pantograf" - "Tik-so", "Puma" and even the "walking eurobook". What would not be confused further I will call the mechanism "Pantograph" (sounds somehow solid and mysteriously))) .

"Pantograph" arose as an eurobook mechanism option. The difference is that there are no roll-out rollers in Pantographer. In the rest, it is similar to the "eurobook" parameters. The internal storage niches has a large and smooth bed.

Principle of operation of the mechanism: For folding, it is enough to pull up the sofa seat holding for its edge in the middle. The sofas are equipped with hinges - handles for ease of laying.

Their review is in our material.

A variety of sofas styles for any interior

The sofa is rightly called the composite center of the living room. The view of the man who became the first thing in the room stops on the sofa. Therefore, when choosing this subject of the interior, you need to take care that it fully fits into the overall style of the room, even the least not conflicting with other elements of the situation.

Therefore, there is nothing surprising in that preference in this case is given to the overall sofas of island.

The traditional form of furniture is relevant today. Many lovers of antiquities acquire furniture stylized under historical samples: leather coating, natural upholstery, frame from expensive wood species. However, in the production of most of the classical sofas, the most modern materials are used, and this is quite suitable for buyers.

5 important sofa selection criteria

Choosing a sofa for some particular room of the room, first of all, visit furniture stores or specialized shopping centers that have proven themselves in the eyes of consumers, and therefore deserve confidence.

This approach will save you from the purchase of a low-quality sofa, which after a short time will lose an attractive appearance or fall apart. Unfortunately, not all manufacturers are now producing truly high-quality products, and this concerns not only the strength of the frame of sofas, but also used for the upholstery of materials.

When choosing a stylized sofa, you must pay attention to the following points:

• See the price of the product. Today in stores you can find any furniture, ranging from its budget options and ending with elite. Of course, choosing a sofa, you should focus on your financial opportunities, but at the same time not to make yourself very cheap models. Most often, too much price suggests that the furniture is made of low quality materials. There is no chance that it will last long enough, practically no.
• Specify from the manager or the seller-consultant, which is specifically made by the model that is interested in you.
• Carefully examine the quality of the upholstery material. Try to understand how strong it is also practical.
• Ask the seller about the filler of the style sofa.
• Find out the sofa size - they must respond in advance calculated parameters. In general, try to make the dimensions of the acquired furniture with the size of the apartment. In a small room, a huge sofa will take all free space. Carefully consider the colors of the sofa. It must correspond to the overall range of the room.

And another advice. When choosing a sofa made in a particular style, pay close attention to the form and structural features of the product. Let's talk about these parameters.

Forms of sofas

The most common are the following:

It is considered the most compact look. The double model is easy to accommodate even in a small room, moved it to the wall. If the size of the room allows, the sofa can be made by a composite center, putting all the rest of the furniture around it. Triple models have quite large dimensions, so they are better acquired for spacious premises.

Angular sofa, made in a particular style, is suitable for almost any premises. Even impressive sizes, the product can be put in the corner of the room, and it will still have a lot of free space.

Such sofas often prefer large families living in small-sized apartments. If the living room in the house is quite spacious, then a similar model is good for zoning the room. Among other things, in the unfolded form, the corner sofa is a wide and comfortable sleeping place.

This is a kind of constructor, from parts of which you can collect and corner sofa, and straight with pouf, and an island composition. In addition, some stores have the opportunity to purchase different parts of such a designer to choose from, which is very important for buyers, drawing up the interior of the room in a particular style.

• Semicircular sofa.

Such sofas, in whatever style they have been decorated, are not widely popular. The fact is that due to a kind of configuration, these products are not too comfortable: they can not be attached to the wall, almost never can be decomposed to form a sleeping place. But if the living room is quite spacious and furnished in one of the popular styles (high-tech, minimalism, etc.), the semicircular sofa will look at it quite well.

Designs and layout mechanisms of sofas

Sofas made in one or another style may differ also by type of laying mechanisms.

Book

Such models are able to take two positions: for seating and for sleep. It is enough to throw back the sofa back, as it turns into a full-fledged bed. But planning to place in the room such a sofa, please note: there will be a small gap between the wall and the back of the product. Only in this case the design can be decomposed, without pushing it from the wall. The sofa device itself is sufficient.

Dolphin

The transformation mechanism to which similar sofas are equipped is one of the most popular. To disassemble the sofa, you just need to pull up and the loops attached to the selection section. After the section rolls out, a spacious bed is formed. The sofa is also equipped with a drawer for things located in the stationary part of the seating.

Such a transformation mechanism must be made of high-quality wood, since the load provided by the device on the body is sufficiently large.

The advantages of the model:

• The sofa can be decomposed without much effort.

Failure:

• With the continuous use of the transformation mechanism, the service life of the sofa is very limited.
