Small corner sofas with sleeping berth

Small corner sofas with a berth are an ideal solution for a small apartment. Products can be placed in any of the rooms - they do not take up much space, they have an attractive and interesting design. Thanks to their transformation mechanisms, they form a place for a night's rest.

Let's figure out which models the manufacturers offer, as well as the rules for their selection.

A standard small corner sofa includes two sections and a corner module. The main advantage of such products is their small size. A compact mini-sofa can be installed in a small bedroom, in the corridor of a newly-planned apartment, in the living room or in the kitchen. Due to the angular configuration, such products make it possible to efficiently use the available free area.

Other benefits of sleeper mini sofas include:

• multifunctionality - the furniture is used as a seat and when unfolded is used as a bed;
• favorable cost - small items are cheaper than similar large-sized pieces of furniture;
• durability - small models are often equipped with reliable transformation mechanisms that "withstand" intensive use;
• the presence of an additional compartment for storing bed linen, blankets, textiles and other items.

Small sofas also have many disadvantages. Their disadvantages include a low level of comfort - due to its compactness, the seat cannot boast of large dimensions. It is inconvenient to sit on it; decorative pillows cannot be placed on it.In order to save space, mini-sofas are very rarely equipped with armrests, drawers. Their design does not include shelves, bar counters and other accessories.

Corner mini-sofas are produced in limited quantities - there are not so many of these products on sale, so choosing the optimal model for a specific interior can be problematic.

Small-sized corner sofas are stationary and folding. In the first, there is no sleeping place - they are used only for sitting. Folding variations are equipped with various transformation mechanisms.

Products can be roll-out or sliding. The principle of transformation of the former is to roll one of the blocks forward and install the backrest in its place. In sliding furniture items, all structural parts are interconnected, due to which, when one block is transformed, the other is automatically activated.

The most popular transformation systems:

• "Dolphin"
• "book"
• "pantograph"
• Puma
• "Scissors" - turning one block to another "
• "American clamshell".

Some manufacturers offer models with several transformation mechanisms.

When creating miniature sofas with a berth, various materials are used for the production of the body, upholstery and filling. All of these components have different functions. The frame ensures the reliability and strength of the entire structure, the filler is responsible for the softness of the product, and the upholstery is responsible for the aesthetics of the furniture. All materials used have different parameters and performance characteristics, so it is worth considering them in more detail.

For the manufacture of the case is used metal, natural wood, chipboard and MDF. The most reliable are metal cases - they can withstand the maximum weight load. However, the metal makes the structure heavier. Solutions made from natural wood are also robust. This material is reliable, practical and durable, but it is too expensive.

Particleboard is considered the most unreliable solution. Structures made of it quickly deteriorate, deform at high humidity.

Used as upholstery materials natural or artificial leather, textiles. Each of these types of cladding has its own pros and cons. The most reliable, practical and durable material is natural leather. However, furniture with such upholstery cannot be called cheap, which is why it is not so popular among consumers. More "popular" mini-sofas are made of artificial leather. Such upholstery looks aesthetically pleasing, but when used, scuffs, scratches and cracks quickly appear on it.

Synthetic materials are used as upholstery... The most common ones are jacquard, velor, chenille and flock. There is also a demand for products with tapestry sheathing. The cloth used must be well cleaned, not build up static electricity and be resistant to various types of dirt.

To give softness to a corner sofa, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, synthetic winterizer and holofiber are often used. Foam furniture is the cheapest. This material is short-lived - during operation it quickly sags and loses its shape.

Polyurethane foam more expensive, but it keeps its shape perfectly due to its good elasticity, it is instantly restored. This material is durable and durable.

Sintepon and holofiber also referred to as fillers with a long service life. Such materials do not cause allergies.

Dimensions are an important parameter that you should pay attention to when choosing a sofa. If you choose a product by size, you can successfully fit it into a limited space.

Compact mini sofas are small in size:

• length - from 150 to 190 cm;
• width - from 80 to 90 cm;
• height - 85 cm.

The dimensions of the largest models of mini-sofas in the unfolded position can be 2000x1400 mm.

Corner miniature sofas with a berth are made in various color variations. Let's consider the most popular ones.

• Monochrome... This group includes products with white, black and gray colors. Dark solutions will look perfect in light rooms. Whites will bring a sense of lightness and airiness to the interior. Grays are neutral tones. They will go with any style.
