Let's first dwell on the pros.

• A weighty plus of a wardrobe-sofa-bed - ease of use... Modern models are equipped with high-quality, thought-out to the smallest detail mechanisms that can serve for many years without causing problems for the owners. The products in question are transformed in an elementary way - for this you do not have to spend a lot of time and effort.
• The wardrobes-sofa-beds produced today are usually equipped with such systems and mechanisms that are designed for impressive loads. A quality model will be in no way inferior to a classic full-size bed, for which there is not a place in every dwelling.
• In the daytime, a bed in a similar design can be removedand the furniture will take on a completely different look. Its functionality will also change. At the same time, households will not be faced with the loss of useful space in the room.
• Modern multifunctional designs are often supplemented with useful components - spacious compartments in which you can store any bedding, pillows, blankets. In the end, such furniture turns out to be no less practical and comfortable than a large and spacious wardrobe.
• The outer panel of the considered furniture structures can be made in any key.... Thanks to this detail, the furniture has a design in different style directions. In stores, you will be able to find very fashionable, stylish and attractive items with mirrors, patterns and details from natural materials. With correctly selected elements, the interior of the room will sparkle with new colors, becoming more harmonious and complete.
• Cleaning with a wardrobe bed is much easier and less time consuming... There is no need to try to remove all the dirt from under the bed. If the room has this furniture, it is enough just to raise the sleeping bed and set it upright.
• It should be noted the richest assortment of such furniture designs... In specialized stores, there are models of a wide variety of modifications and colors. The cost of products also varies, although more expensive items are often on sale.
• Despite the fact that these products contain heavy bed, it reclines without problemswhen necessary. In this case, the mechanism does not suffer in any way.

The transformable products under consideration have plenty of advantages, but there were also some drawbacks.

• As stated above, the majority of such products are expensive... The lion's share of transforming cabinets costs their owners a tidy sum, especially if they are made of high-quality natural materials. Of course, it is possible to make this furniture to order, but then the cost of the structure can be completely unpleasant to amaze the buyer.
• It is allowed to place the wardrobe bed only near the load-bearing wall in the room.... The base of the latter must necessarily be such that it can withstand the weight of the bed without any problems. Because of this, such furniture can be installed not in every room chosen by the owners.
• Many people feel some discomfort when using such furniture.... In the case of vertical fixation, there may be a feeling that the structure runs the risk of failure at any time, after which the bed will collapse downward. Such a perception of reality, of course, is erroneous - in fact, high-quality finished structures are very well and reliably fixed, and during the manufacturing process they are repeatedly tested for strength and safety.
• If the household needs time for daytime sleep, then the specified furniture structure will have to be laid out again.

Modern wardrobes-sofas are presented in a rich assortment. Furniture structures of various modifications are on sale. Let's take a closer look at what are the distinctive features of products of vertical and horizontal types.

Solid and spacious are modern convertible wardrobes equipped with a vertical mechanism. Folding structures of this type are convenient to use, but they have to allocate more free space, which can be a problem in a very small room. The berth here unfolds in length from the wall base by about 2100 mm.For this reason, there must be a free space in front of the product itself. You can make an indent from the opposite wall equal to 2000 mm.

A built-in bed in the described furniture design can be very comfortable and spacious. Experts recommend that you carefully select these options - their mechanisms should be as reliable, stable and safe as possible.

More modest horizontal structures in dimensions are very popular. Here a lifting sleeping bed will become a win-win solution for rooms of almost any size. The layout will also not greatly affect the placement of this furniture.

In addition, models of multifunctional wardrobes are subdivided into such subspecies.

• Roll-out... A very convenient and comfortable solution for those who do not like the vertical position of the bed for sleeping in the daytime. Such products take up a minimum of free space when folded.
• Folding... These structures stand upright thanks to a special mechanism. They unfold by pulling down the top edge. Foldable products are larger in size. When folded, together with the mattress, they can only represent the frame part.
• Swing-out... These models accommodate a more complete cabinet with shelves, which does not need to be emptied before starting the transformation. To disassemble the indicated structure, it is necessary to make a preliminary rotation of the structure by 180 degrees, so that the wardrobe and the bed change places.
• Combined... The most expensive and functional products. In their design, in addition to the wardrobe, bed and sofa, a table can be added.

Different materials are used in the production of different models of 3-in-1 wardrobes. This factor affects the final cost of the furniture structure. Let's figure out what the fillers and upholstery of these structures are made of.

When choosing the perfect sofa cabinet, it is important to pay attention to the filling material. The quality of the filler determines how comfortable the bed for sleeping in the structure will be. Cheap and low-quality filling materials can not only be completely inconvenient, but also undergo rapid deformation and loss of shape.

The following fillers are recognized as the most popular.

• Polyurethane foam (or polyurethane foam)... This filler is most often found in transformable or built-in furniture. This material is characterized by a long service life, is relatively inexpensive, but is relatively tough.

• Spring block with dependent springs... This filler is also found in transformable furniture structures. It shows itself to be very comfortable in terms of operation, but, unfortunately, it does not differ in high reliability, especially in comparison with polyurethane foam. After 7-10 years, the springs, due to their own wear and tear, will begin to burst and break out, damaging the upholstery.

• Spring block with independent springs... The specified filler is soft, durable and comfortable. But its use in the manufacture of transformer-type furniture is undesirable - being in an upright position, the springs lose their connection with each other, which is why the sofa runs the risk of sagging to one side.

The upholstery material of the selected furniture also plays an important role. This parameter affects not only the practicality of the products, but also their appearance. Nice and beautiful upholstery can make even the simplest wardrobe sofa with a built-in berth more effective and enjoyable.

Suitable types of upholstery.

• Leather... This upholstery is the most expensive, but its appearance matches the cost. This material serves for a long time, is not susceptible to damage or loss of presentation.

• Artificial leather... Leatherette is cheaper than natural material, and by its external characteristics it can be difficult to distinguish it from it.

• Eco leather... A modern and highly demanded material. It costs less than natural leather, but is thinner.

• Tapestry... Such upholstery will be a win-win option if the furniture is selected for the interior in an expensive, luxurious manner.

• Velours... Practical upholstery material. It has a soft surface and is easy to clean when needed, without losing any color brightness or texture quality.

• Flock... A practical and popular material for upholstering upholstered furniture. It is water-resistant, durable, has a pleasant soft structure.

• Jacquard... Another practical and durable material used for upholstery upholstery. It is soft and hygienic and comes in a wide range. The design of the fabric can be very different. Jacquard has a uniform structure that guarantees a long service life.

In furniture showrooms, you can find different models of transformable wardrobes, sofa beds, with different dimensions. So, most of the products produced today have the following parameters (unfolded):

• width - from 115 to 160 cm;
• length - from 180 to 220 cm.

For small rooms, the area of ​​which does not exceed 7-9 sq. m, there will be enough wardrobe-sofa with dimensions of 180x120 cm.If we are talking about a more spacious quadrature, then you can find a product 180x150 cm and more. The beds themselves can be single, one-and-a-half or double.

Practical 3-in-1 furniture should not only be functional, but also attractive. The design should be selected in accordance with the style of the interior in which you want to place it.

• Classic... A classic wardrobe sofa bed should be made from natural and environmentally friendly materials. It is desirable that it be sustained in calm light colors. It is best to avoid colorful and catchy decor.

• High tech... In this modern style, transformable furniture looks especially organic. The high-tech furniture structure will have a strict design with the presence of restrained geometric shapes and lines. Carved elements will be superfluous. Products with metal, plastic, leather or glass elements will look bright and stylish.

• Minimalism... Modern fashion trend. For such interiors, you should choose transforming furniture of a strict design. Products should not have bright prints and lush decorations.

Convertible furniture should also match the color of the environment. Both the transformer and the decoration should not be made in absolutely identical shades - in this case, the interior will merge, and it will be difficult to be in it. The wardrobe bed should be at least a couple of tones different from the finish and other furnishings.

There are several main factors to look out for when choosing the right sofa bed wardrobe.

Let's get acquainted with them.

• Dimensions (edit)... Before choosing furniture, measure the area of ​​the room in which you plan to put it. The structure should not be too large, blocking the passage.

• Wall height... Many of the furniture structures considered are of high heights, so it is better to measure the height of the walls before purchasing them.

• Materials (edit)... Choose reliable, high-quality designs made from sustainable materials. A truly reliable product will be expensive, but it will last for many years without causing any trouble to household members.

• Furniture condition... The wardrobe sofa bed must have perfectly clean, whole surfaces. Neither the frame nor the cladding should have mechanical damage, scratches, chips, scuffs, faded areas.

• Mechanism operation... Make sure that the mechanism of the furniture structure is working properly and is working as it should.

• Design... As mentioned above, the selected sofa-wardrobe should harmoniously fit into the existing environment, suit it both in style and in color. Furniture should not knock out of the ensemble, making it disharmonious.

• Company manufacturer... Try to purchase exclusively branded transformable designs. They can be expensive, but they will last longer without breaking down. It is advisable to look for branded sofa cabinets in furniture showrooms, but not in the market or in dubious retail outlets.

There is a lot of space in the dwelling where you can conveniently and organically arrange a wardrobe-sofa bed. These can be the following zones.

• Children's room... Often, such furniture designs are installed in children's rooms. In such conditions, models are especially useful and practical, supplemented not only with a berth, but also with a small tabletop.

• Loggia or balcony... A 3-in-1 wardrobe can also be placed in these areas, but only if they are well insulated. Here, the furniture is usually placed in such a way that the sleeping place in it can be laid out along the long walls.

• Bedroom... Often, a wardrobe bed is placed in a bedroom, where at any time it can be transformed into a living room by simply folding the bed (thus preparing a sofa).

• Canteen... Some options can be placed in the dining room as well.

A properly selected wardrobe-sofa bed can become not only a useful and functional piece of furniture, but also a beautiful addition to the interior ensemble. Models of all colors and styles are regularly on sale.

Let's look at some harmonious and attractive examples of interior design with a 3-in-1 wardrobe.

• A large wardrobe with a bed and a sofa, made in cream shades, will harmoniously look against the background of light finishes and a black accent wall.The interior will be filled with spectacular colors if the sleeping bed is made in red, and a fluffy carpet of the same rich color is laid on the floor opposite the bed.

• A wardrobe bed, combining beige and dark chocolate shades on its frame, can be placed in a room with a white tiered ceiling and light neutral walls.

• A wooden structure in pastel colors with white linens will look attractive when placed in a room decorated in dull purple or lilac shades. The rest of the furniture here can be sustained in denser and more expressive colors.
