This furniture is distinguished by the smooth running of the transformation mechanism. It is simple and quiet in operation, reliable and durable. In the process of transformation, the sofa turns into a comfortable bed for one or two people. In this case, the type of execution of structures can be different.
Sofas of this type are often equipped with internal storage systems. Under their seat are spacious boxes for bedding or other things needed in everyday life. The number of compartments can be different, as well as the depth of the boxes themselves. Besides, this furniture can be used as a guest bed or a regular sofa.

Products of this kind can be installed in premises for various purposes. They are able to decorate the interior of living rooms, bedrooms, spacious kitchens... And also sofas with the Eurobook system can become a key piece of furniture in open-plan rooms. With their help, the space of the rooms is divided into zones, introducing an unobtrusive organization into them.
But this furniture also has several disadvantages.For example, such sofas cannot be placed close to the wall if you plan to use them constantly both as a sofa and as a bed. In addition, constant transformation (unfolding and reassembling) looses the structural elements over time.

If the sofa is made from cheap raw materials, its lifespan will most likely not be too long.
It is also bad that, when unfolded, the berth has a longitudinal depression between the two blocks of the berth. The difference from the book mechanism is the opening principle. In this case, you do not have to fold the blocks, but raise one of them. A child cannot cope with such work. In general, the walking mechanism is quite durable, it rarely breaks.

Varieties of spring blocks
Now there are 2 types of spring blocks that are used in the manufacture of upholstered furniture. Each of them has its own characteristics, which affects the performance characteristics of the products.

Dependent
The spring block of the dependent type is not orthopedic, since it has a design in which the springs are connected to each other. Therefore, under the weight load, not only the working springs are pressed, but also most of the rest. The human spine flexes in an unnatural shape.

The elements are arranged vertically; they may differ in size and shape. On sale you can find options for the conventional and bicone type. The second types of springs are used to lighten the weight of structures and reduce the cost of metal elements. Such springs are less likely to break and overload under a weight load.

The sleeping place on dependent springs can be different, but there is little benefit from resting on it. A person falls into a hole, a great load is placed on the spine. Only the base of the structure limits punching under the user's weight. If these springs break, the whole block has to be replaced.

Independent
These springs have visual differences from their analogs of the dependent type. Each of them is packed in a separate cover made of special breathable textiles. In blocks of this type, not springs are interconnected, but covers. Due to this, only those elements that are under load are included in the work.
Due to this feature manages to achieve proper spinal support... In such blocks, no holes are formed under the weight of users. The size and type of items may vary. On sale there are springs of not only single, but also double type (additional elements of a smaller size are inserted into the working ones).

The autonomy of the springs is their weak point. They often fail, but allow the replacement of individual elements. There is no need to throw out the entire block, replacing a broken spring is easy. The springs are standard and can be purchased from specialized stores.
Types of sofas
Sofas with a Eurobook mechanism and a spring block can be classified according to several criteria. By the type of hardness, they are soft, moderately hard and hard. Products of the first type are not orthopedic. These are sofas with dependent blocks consisting of large springs.

Moderate stiffness already implies an orthopedic effect. The number of such springs per 1 sq. m more than soft. Hard sofas have even more springs. The more springs and the smaller their size, the stiffer the product. Double type springs are the most reliable and durable. Sofas with such springs can withstand heavy weight loads.

By the type of execution, factory structures with a metal frame are straight and angular. Linear models are bought for arranging small rooms. Corner ones are purchased for living rooms and other open-type premises. The sizes of the berth of sofas are very different on sale: 140x200, 200x160, 180x200 cm.

There are models by transformation type usual, as well as with a rollback. The designs of the latter are distinguished by the presence of the back wall in the unfolded form of the sofa. They are convenient in that they do not need to be moved during transformation.

By modification, sofas are divided into options with hidden and visible supports. The presence of the legs makes it easier to clean under the sofa. Such furniture is easier to move from place to place. By the presence of other elements, sofas are available with or without armrests. In some embodiments, the role of armrests is played by soft cushions that are placed on the sides of the seats.

How to choose?
When buying, it is important to inspect the frame and upholstery materials of the selected model. Ideally, you need to take the option of a sofa on a metal frame. If this is not on sale, it is better to buy furniture with a wooden base. MDF and chipboard are short-lived, as they are not designed for heavy weight and everyday unfolding. The best upholstery material is natural or artificial leather. Models with chennil and flock upholstery have proven themselves quite well.

In addition, you should make sure that the spring block is reliable in connection with the purpose of the product. If you need, for example, a guest sofa that will not be used every day, you can purchase a product with dependent springs. Wherein hardness should not be less than average.

If you choose an option for sleeping, you should take a closer look at models with independent springs. At the same time, it is better to take such a product with a combined type of block. Basically, it is a mat with different types of springs distributed in a certain way around the base of the block. The number of springs per 1 sq. m are selected based on their own health and age.

The elderly and the sick are not advised to buy options for increased rigidity. Although they can withstand a lot of stress, they are not suitable for all buyers. To take your own version, you need to have an idea of which model is allowed for health reasons. The best option is a product with moderate rigidity.
When buying, you need to evaluate the seating comfort. Squeaking, rolling, sinking do not speak in favor of the product. The color of the model is matched to the background solution of the interior of a particular room. The sofa should stand out from the general background, but not stand out from the overall design concept. Its design, colors, decor are selected taking into account the style of the interior.
