Children's sofa couch: features, design and selection
Replacing new furniture with old ones is always a laborious and complicated process. Especially when it comes to choosing a sleeping place for a child. Currently, there are a large number of options, one of which is the sofa couch. It is a folding sofa with an armrest on one side and a back.
Features, pros and cons
Such a sleeping place has a number of features. First of all, among them I would like to note the simplicity of the sofa-couch mechanism. Due to its small size, it will not be difficult for any person to disassemble or assemble such a sofa. This feature is a definite plus.
Also, this type of sofas differs from all other options for sleeping places compactness and versatility. Compact sofa becomes a comfortable sleeping place... Transforming furniture can be a good solution for rooms with a small area. A foldable bed will allow you to free up space for games and activities in the children's room during the day, without compromising the child's nighttime comfort.
The couch can become a full-fledged sleeping place for both a child and me for an adult, thanks to the possibility of purchasing a sofa with an orthopedic mattress. This is a necessary thing for the developing skeleton of a child.
Therefore, it is extremely important that this fact is taken into account when choosing a berth.
In addition, the sofa-couch pleases buyers with the price-quality ratio. It is possible to choose such furniture for any criteria and budget. Considering all of the above features of this piece of furniture, it can be seen that it has a fairly wide range of advantages.However, it also has a number of minor drawbacks.
First of all, among them it should be noted low wear resistance... Of course, everything depends on the material chosen by the manufacturer, however, do not forget that this is still upholstered furniture. Its upholstery requires careful maintenance, especially when it comes to the nursery. Also, such a sleeping place for a child can become an extra dust collector. This disadvantage can be easily leveled with full regular care. Nevertheless if the child is prone to allergies or suffers from bronchial asthma, the choice of a sofa-couch as a sleeping place is not entirely successful.
Varieties
Currently, there are several types of couch sofas, so everyone can choose the most comfortable option. First of all, the sofa can be folding or not. The folding version will be more spacious, but, in turn, the non-folding one will make it easier to use.
The folding sofa assumes 2 positions, which requires rearrangement during sleep, as well as an additional investment of time.
An ottoman sofa is another option for a sleeping place for a child. By analogy with a folding couch, it has a simple mechanism and a spacious berth. Also, the sofa couch can have boxes for storing sleeping clothes, which is certainly an advantage. The drawers can have both folding sofas (the boxes will be located in the extendable part of the sofa), and in a fixed single couch.
Design
The sofa-couch is a stylish and modern solution for a nursery, which is why the design of this furniture can be completely different. It can be a classic rectangular couch with wooden or metal legs, with high or low sides, with straight or fancy armrests. The choice of the design of a sleeping place for a child should be done taking into account his interests.
A sleeping place can take the form of a car, a ship, a castle with princesses, and much more. Also, this furniture may differ in the material of the upholstery, which is also important. Here you need to take into account not only the design, but also, for example, the presence of pets.
There are specially designed upholstery for upholstered furniture that are not subject to the claws of pets.
Colour
The color of the child's bed can be absolutely any: bright or muted, suitable for the rest of the interior or accent. It is worth paying attention to the soiling of the material in order to avoid its rapid deterioration.
Selection Tips
An ottoman or couch will be a good purchase that can delight you and your child for a long time, if you follow some of the recommendations when choosing it.
- When choosing between a folding couch and a non-folding couch, take into account the possibilities of space and the age of your child.... If the child is already quite an adult to make his own bed before going to bed on his own, and his room is spacious - feel free to take the folding option.
- When choosing a material and color, think in advance what external factors can spoil the upholstery material quickly and irreversibly. For example, if you have more than one pet, buying a black couch may not be the best solution.
- Consider your child's age and don't forget how quickly babies grow if you don't plan on changing your bed every year.
- Pay attention to sofas with orthopedic mattresses. This will have a positive effect on the development of your child in the future.
- Choosing a design, think about the immediate future of the child: a boy who wants a sleeping place in the form of a car at the age of 8 is able to refuse it after 3 years due to a change of interests.
