In order not to be disappointed after buying a mattress chair, follow the recommendations of experts.

1. Think about functionality. For what purposes a folding chair will most often be used - for accommodating guests, for children's games or for organizing a recreation area. For the first, any frameless models are suitable; for children, you can choose quilted soft chairs with bright upholstery. For a recreation area, you can take a closer look at frame or orthopedic chairs.

2. Decide on the upper material and filler. Natural latex and polyurethane foam would be ideal. Such a filler retains its shape well and will serve for a long time. Foam rubber is usually used in inexpensive models of chairs; it has a limited service life and can deform during operation. The upper material should be easy to clean, it is desirable that it has anti-vandal properties. For example, flock is very pleasant to the touch, easy to clean and not prone to puffs.

3. Find the right size. Children's folding chairs are of one size, adults one - or double - others. For example, one chair "Ouster" cannot be expanded into a sleeping place - for this you need to purchase another one.

4. Try it on! This is an important point, because no matter how comfortable the upholstered furniture is in terms of characteristics, it may not suit you for a number of reasons. Therefore, before buying, it is better to sit and lie on the model you like, and also try to assemble and disassemble it yourself.

1. From the very first days, you need to regularly take care of the product. Vacuum it at least once a week, turn it over to the other side.

2. If necessary, you need to carry out wet cleaning using special household chemicals.
