Folding double corner sofas: features, types and choice

A folding double sofa allows not only equipping a place to sleep for two people. This corner-type product looks very attractive in any interior. But you need to know the features of its daily use, the key types and their nuances - only then it will be possible to make the right choice of this furniture.

The use of folding double corner sofas has both positive and negative sides. They are easy to use for both sleeping and double seating during the day. However, having to fold out the couch to prepare for bed can be annoying at times. You need to immediately think about whether such a decision makes sense, or whether it is better to use a full-fledged sleeping place.

The fact that the sofa is double is also not always good. Of course, even alone it is pleasant to feel spaciousness and almost unlimited freedom.

First it is worth mentioning about stationary (aka monolithic) corner sofa. Such models are not found too often. When it is obviously clear that there will be no rearrangement, or it will be performed only 1-2 times during operation, you can limit yourself to a model with a factory rigid mount. But the problem is that working with the bolts is inconvenient. And if, nevertheless, it becomes necessary to rearrange the furniture, this will create additional problems.

An alternative solution is the plates that are attached to the side of the sofa. They always "work" in pairs: one gets the hook function, and the other gets the base element. In general, such a connection works quite reliably. Its stability is not satisfactory. The problem, however, is that separating the plates is sometimes even more difficult than removing the bolts.

An important variety should be considered modular corner sofa. It has 3 or more constituent elements. While increasing the number of blocks makes the design more flexible, this is not always a good thing. After all, the more joints, the less comfortable it is to lie on such a sofa. Especially when it comes to a full night's sleep, and not about a short day's rest.

Moreover, even sitting where the joint is located can be very unpleasant. Deserve special attention corner sofas transformers. They are equipped with lifting mechanisms for component parts.

It is widely believed that a corner sofa can have a maximum dimensions of 200x200 cm. This is not the case - designs with a size of 220x170 cm are commercially available. And an even larger model can be made to order. True, you will also have to pay a substantial amount for it.

The typical width of the berth is at least 1.4 m. But for a full-fledged double sofa, it should be at least 1.7 m. Otherwise, it will be inconvenient to use it. Compact models are considered non-standard, all sides of which do not exceed 1.7 m.

Choosing a sofa with a metal frame is not very convenient. Yes, it is a robust and reliable design. But its mass creates many problems. Even moving such furniture, if the need arises, is quite difficult. If you have the means, you can choose products made from elite wood. A more budget option is pine or birch.

All experts strongly advise avoiding chipboard-based structures. They are not reliable enough even if thick material is used. Such furniture should be purchased only as a temporary solution, for a maximum of 2-4 years. Attention should be paid to the filler.

As for the upholstery, everything is simple:

• flock is suitable for those who keep animals;
• chenille is a relatively economical option with a wide variety of weaving types;
• the mat looks good, but many people are frustrated by the tactile contact with it;
• jacquard is very expensive and elegant, but its quality depends on the composition of the threads used.

Of course, anyone can choose a comfortable sofa with two berths. The main thing here is not to be afraid and clearly understand your task. Naturally, basement shops on the outskirts of the city and salons operating in open markets should be avoided in every possible way. It is much more correct to contact large furniture stores. It is even better to purchase a corner sofa where it is made.

Before buying, you need to carefully measure all the required dimensions with a tape measure. Even people with a good memory should write them down, or even better, draw a diagram. It is advisable to do this on paper, and not on a tablet or phone. This is much more convenient. If a room or house as a whole has an atypical layout or non-standard design, it is advisable to consult with experienced decorators.

It should be taken into account right away that the mechanisms of transformers are not only cumbersome, but also immediately transfer the sofa to a higher price range. Also, do not limit yourself to the simplest models in the form of the letter G. In some cases, U-shaped sofas will turn out to be more convenient and more pleasant. And lovers of experiments will be delighted with furniture of non-standard shape. And one more nuance - even if you like everything and formally fit, you need to require quality certificates for products.
