Sofas equipped with sleeping places have many advantages. The possibility of transformation allows them to be used not only for sitting, but also for daily sleep for a child or an adult. When assembled, they are compact and take up a minimum of space.

You can put small sofas in rooms for different purposes. They are suitable for placement in the living room, bedroom, children's room, kitchen. In addition, they can be placed in a bay window, on a loggia or a glazed balcony. Some models can become elements of furniture in closed gazebos.

Due to their small size, they can replace chairs in the kitchen or armchairs in the living room of small-sized apartments. At the same time, models are often supplemented with boxes for storing things. Despite their compact size, they are functional and spacious.This makes small sofas indispensable furnishings for small apartments.

Depending on the modification, there are models for children and adults on sale. The designs are optimally simple and easy to use, some options can be expanded by adolescents. However, along with the advantages of small sofas with a berth, there are several disadvantages:

• the unfolded sofa takes up a lot of space, which limits its placement in different rooms;
• transformation mechanisms loosen structural elements over time;
• not every transformation mechanism is suitable for placing a sofa in a particular room;
• the berth is designed for only one person; it will not work for two to sit on the sofa.

In terms of comfort, they are inferior to large counterparts. Mini sofas are not suitable for spacious living rooms and open-plan rooms, where they look out of place. However, in such cases, you can buy several sofas of the same design, upholstery material, creating a cozy and comfortable guest group out of them. In a large space, single models at best look like chairs.

Today, manufacturers of small sofas offer buyers a lot of options for every taste and budget. Products differ in configuration and design, as well as functionality. Moreover, they can be classified according to various criteria.

By the type of product execution, small sofas are straight and angular. At the same time, modifications of both types may differ in the presence or absence of armrests. The straight type of structures is convenient for their installation along the wall. Such sofas can be placed even in rooms with a difficult perspective.... They equip rooms of the combined type (for example, when you need to make a tiny island of rest on the site of the former loggia).

Products of the direct type can have not only traditional, but also functional armrests. Often, models have 1 armrest at all with a built-in roll-out storage system. As a rule, these structural elements are equipped with a pair of small shelves. The upper part of the armrest is decorated with a table top, which can be used for placing any items or a compact table lamp.

Options without armrests are convenient for arranging very small rooms, since they reduce the likelihood of injury to residents of an apartment or house on the corners of furniture. However, in order to increase the comfort of users, manufacturers supply such furniture with soft pillows of various shapes that act as armrests. It is easier to find stretch covers for this furniture, which extend its service life.

Depending on the type of supports, the models are divided into versions with and without legs. Products of the first type are considered more convenient in terms of practicality. In addition, it is easier to remove dust and dirt under such sofas, air circulation has a beneficial effect on the upholstery and component structures.

Model range for children looks more like folding chairs. Such furniture is equipped with a soft back and armrests. At the same time, the number of bed mats may vary depending on the built-in transformation mechanism. The shape of such sofas is very diverse.

On sale there are both traditional models that are no different from products for adults, and sofa-houses, as well as options with a folding space in the form of paintings depicting your favorite cartoon characters. Other modifications are equipped with an additional mattress, a berth of a separate category is made up of pillow mats.

Corner sofas can be traditional and sectional. Products of the first type are distinguished by rigid fixation of elements. The latter, in their essence, are nothing more than the selectable blocks of modular systems.Of these, you can make up sofas with an ottoman, sofas with poufs or banquets, which can later be used as blocks of a berth.

Small and petite sofas can have different types of padding regardless of their size. Conventionally, all types of filler can be divided into 2 types: spring and soft springless... The options with a spring block are divided into 2 groups: with dependent and independent springs. Each type of modification has its own characteristics.

Models with small independent springs are considered the best type. Such sofas last longer, they are harmless to the spine and do not bend it during sleep. Analogs of the springless type are anatomical and conventional packing made of different materials.

Models of small sofas with a berth provide for a different type of transformation. Unfolding systems can be retractable, folding, lifting and roll-out. Most straight models are equipped with a forward pull system. Most mechanisms demanded by buyers are considered to be "book", "dolphin", "clamshell".

Depending on the type of execution, the blocks of the berth can be located in the inner box of the structures. Others, when assembled, replace the seat or back. The lifting-type options are also convenient: such folding mechanisms work silently, they do not require user efforts and turn the sofa into a small single couch bed in less than a minute.

In corner counterparts, the transformation consists in getting a rectangular sleeping place from the corner. One part rolls out or rises in them: the corner remains in place. Individual modules are simply attached to each other in order to obtain a full-fledged berth.

In the production of small sofas with a berth, different raw materials are used. Most often, such furniture is made from wood and metal products. The frame of the structures is wood: it is from it that lamellas or lattice bases are most often made.

Internal boxes are often made from plywood. It is also used to make functional armrests with shelves and compartments for storing oversized items. Transformation mechanisms and wheels are made of metal, while it can be different. This explains the durability of some structures and the short service life of others.

The material of the upholstery of sofas also differs. The most expensive designs are sheathed with natural or artificial leather. Such models are expensive, look status, and are characterized by durability. The leather is easy to care for, it does not allow moisture and water to pass through, it is well cleaned of impurities and is resistant to abrasion.

In addition, flock, furniture tapestry and jacquard are used as furniture upholstery. Selected designs are sheathed with velor, boucle and velvet. However, these materials are impractical., they quickly lose their attractiveness.

The dimensions of small sofas with a berth may vary. Some of them, when folded, resemble narrow banquets, and therefore have a seating depth of about 35 cm. The width of compact sofas can be about 1 m, which allows them to be installed on balconies, creating tiny islands of recreation areas.Models can be standard or very small.

For example, the average parameters of assembled mini-sofas can be 652x480 cm.If you unfold the product, its parameters will increase to 185 cm in length. The length of other products can be up to 2 m with the length of the ottoman up to 1.5 m.The parameters of the corner modifications are on average 2 m in length with a seat depth of 65 cm.

Children's models can be completely small, not exceeding one and a half meters in length. The average height from the floor to the seat level can be different, its values ​​vary from 40 to 45 cm.

Modular blocks can range from 50 to 60-65 cm in width and depth. In addition, miniature sofas are also very narrow, not exceeding 45 cm in depth.

Choosing this or that model in the room of your home, you must take into account a number of nuances. Initially determined with the size, select the optimal seat height, length and width of the sofa. To understand the degree of its convenience, it is necessary to make a fitting. This will show how deep there is enough, whether the backrest tilt is comfortable.

When the dimensions are selected and the place is determined, the transformation system is examined. You cannot do without a visual inspection. It is necessary to check the folding mechanism. Its course should be smooth and silent, without any jamming.

The color of the sofa is also important. The upholstery, its material, texture and pattern should be combined with the background solution and furnishing elements of a particular room. The color should not stand out against the general background, the color contrast should be harmonious. At the same time, it does not matter whether a sofa is bought for adults or children: without a harmonious combination, it will not work to create an atmosphere of home comfort.

The shape of the product should be similar to the shape of the existing furnishings. The frame must be reliable, wood or metal. Leather is considered the ideal upholstery.... If there is no money for such a sofa, it is better to take a model trimmed with flock.
