Corner orthopedic sofas: features, types and selection

Corner orthopedic sofas occupy a very solid sector of the furniture market - and not only in our country. You need to know their main features and varieties. Otherwise, you will not be able to make the right choice. And this is not a situation where you can rely on luck or general aesthetic taste.

The reason why angular orthopedic sofas are readily chosen for daily sleep is understandable. They support the spine very effectively and avoid many problems with the musculoskeletal system. Night and day sleep is also normalized, which is very important now when life is so unpredictable and turbulent. An increasing number of manufacturers are engaged in the production of orthopedic sofas, so that the scarcity of the assortment is gradually becoming a thing of the past.

Speaking about the main properties, one should point out such points that are characteristic of orthopedic corner sofas:

• suitability even for small apartments and individual rooms;

• comfort is not worse than that of full-size non-folding beds;

• the suitability of a strong frame even for regular use over a long period of time;

• excellent micro-ventilation of the bed;

• the need for selection only after consulting a doctor (if back pathologies have already developed);

• increased cost compared to "simple" products;

• increased (in relation to straight sofas) size and more difficult transportation.

Do not think that all sofas with orthopedic base are strictly the same.In fact, they can differ greatly in performance and practical properties. It should be borne in mind that there are no sofas with an orthopedic berth based on dependent springs. No matter how sophisticated the marketers of firms producing blocks of the "bonnel" type, it is technically impossible to give them the necessary qualities. But varying the type of angle is quite acceptable.

Most often, there are L-shaped and U-shaped structures. The choice between them is largely a matter of personal taste.

The gradation of sofas according to the layout mechanism also deserves attention. The simplest and cheapest of all are non-folding structures. But they also look boring most of the time, and they are impractical to use. The clamshell mechanism is often used. It is quite simple and easy to use, the only drawback is the lack of reliability of such a design.

As a permanent bed, you can choose an orthopedic sofa with a block of independent springs and dolphin-type mechanism... Such a solution is cost-effective and relatively comfortable. But you need to understand that when using low-quality wood, such a sofa will not last long.

When choosing upholstery, you need to be guided by its color and appropriateness in a particular interior. According to experts, a coating with approximately equal proportions of artificial and natural fibers is best suited. Upholstery is often used to add intriguing features. jacquard-based... Purely natural fabrics may look even better, but they rarely last. And purely synthetic fabrics are not always comfortable.

In addition to jacquard, you can use:

• arpatek;

• tapestry;

• leather (recommended for kitchens);

• microfiber;

• chenille;

• flock.

In the low-cost segment, products deserve attention firm "Pinskdrev"... She has a long experience in the production of upholstered furniture and is constantly improving her products. Among Russian firms, it is worth taking a closer look not only at traditional leaders - "Shature-Mebel" and "Borovichi-Mebel", but also to the recently achieved great popularity the Rival brand.

Also, good positions in the market are occupied by products under the brands:

• Askona;

• Moon Trade;

• Ormatek;

• Three I.

The most important consideration when choosing an orthopedic corner sofa is its safety. Therefore, it makes no sense to purchase such a product without reading the quality certificates. If you already have problems with the back or the musculoskeletal system, only a qualified orthopedist will name the necessary parameters of the bed after the examination. In this case, the external design features should also be taken into account. She should like it and harmoniously fit into a certain interior.

We must not forget about the linear dimensions of the furniture. She is obliged to enter well into the designated place both in the open and in the folded state. The required dimensions are fixed in advance using a tape measure.

There are some more important recommendations:

• never buy an orthopedic sofa in the market or in the "basement store";

• inspect hidden and hard-to-reach places;

• evaluate all fasteners;

• evaluate the tension of the fabric;

• Allocate more time for a close acquaintance with a specific sofa.

The photo shows a corner orthopedic sofa with a brown top and a light bottom. It looks very attractive.The combination with an abstract painting, discreet decor is fully justified from a design point of view. Matching the color of a part of the sofa and the color of the curtain (not counting the difference of 1 tone) creates a stylistic balance. In general, the composition is very light and joyful.

They may also look good:

• a lilac sofa in a light gray simple interior;

• a combination of a white bottom and an elusive gray top with intricate ornamentation;

• a pure white sofa in a very bright, sunlit room with gray walls.
