In the process of choosing and purchasing new furniture, many pay attention only to its external appearance, mentally imagining how it will look in the interior. Someone takes into account the comfort of the seats and the serviceability of the sofa transformation mechanism, overlooking the dimensions of the upholstered furniture. But, in fact, you should pay attention to the dimensions first of all, since the product must fit in a predetermined place for it in certain rooms, creating the necessary conveniences.

Standard dimensions
Standard - means average, most acceptable, comfortable, in demand. Any person, most likely, has at least once in his life sat in a pair with someone on the same chair or slept in a 4-bed tent with 5 neighbors. Separate episodes are quite possible, but daily it is necessary to rest in conditions that physiology, together with anatomy, as well as medicine, have established for the body.
To sit comfortably for a person, it takes 50 centimeters, and to lie down - 70 centimeters (non-standard physique in this situation is not taken into account).
The standard parameters of sofas are determined based on these criteria. Three parameters are key characteristics of the products.
- Height... Distance from the floor to the top end point of the back support.
- Length... The distance between the extreme lateral points (for direct modifications, for the angular, the distance of each component is calculated separately).
- Width... The distance between the end points of the back and front edges of the lower soft block (when unfolded, the length becomes the width of the sleeping area).

The sofa-book has different dimensions.Mass-produced furniture is designed in accordance with the average height and weight of consumers. Costly modifications are usually created on an individual order with different characteristics.
The "book" is usually made with a sleeping place in 2 versions. The equipment that has passed the test of time and is currently in great demand among consumers.
- One and a half sofa when unfolded it is manufactured in 2 versions - 1900 × 1200 and 2000x1200 mm. The second option is for people with taller than average height.
- Double sofa folds out into a wide stock of 2000 × 1600 millimeters.

In this modification, making other dimensions, for example, with a wider back and seat, means making it uncomfortable to sit. Even with a seat width of 80 centimeters, which is equivalent to half the sleeping space of a 2-sleeping couch, a pillow must be placed under the back.
The person should be able to lean back against the back of the sofa. If it is at a distance, the furniture becomes uncomfortable to sit on.

Unusual sizes
The modern upholstered furniture market is overwhelmed by the richness of choice and can offer multifunctional, comfortable and ergonomic sofas that have not only an original appearance, but also a structure. However, despite the fact that all stores selling upholstered furniture have a decent and varied assortment, you often cannot find what you need - a sofa of a strictly defined size and height. But don't worry - you always have the option to order furniture of unusual sizes.
Almost any factory can offer a non-standard design of a sofa (since an unusual sofa is an elongated version of a standard one, the manufacturers of the standard also have modifications of this standard), only this costs, as a rule, 15-20% more expensive, and the production time increases.

How to choose?
As we already know, modern furniture is mainly produced with standard sizes, therefore, it is intended for people who have average weight and height parameters. However, when a person is tall or, on the contrary, short, then ordinary modifications become uncomfortable for him.
Height is usually taken into account when it is intended to use the sofa bed not only as a place to sit and relax, but also for regular and healthy sleep. In this case, any centimeter becomes significant.
For people with small stature, the size of the sleeping place can even be 1300 millimeters, but this, for example, is true for children. Structures with an indicator of 1700 millimeters are often purchased.

When people with tall stature intend to use the structure, then the length of the sleeping place is selected for them from 1900 to 2000 millimeters.
If the height is 2 meters, then only a sofa-book with a berth size of 2100 millimeters will do. For people even taller, it is required to order modifications, the size of which reaches 3000 millimeters.
Most often, the other parameters are considered not so important for any person's height, because a sofa with a depth of 80 centimeters is especially often selected.

The choice should be motivated and thoughtful, moreover, the average indicator for people of different heights is considered to be a length of 1900 millimeters, however, an indicator of 2000 millimeters is more convenient. There are specific standards according to which the depth of the sofa should be 450-600 millimeters for ordinary modifications, 500 millimeters for a folding model. The size of the sleeping area should be at least 1860 millimeters, and the width should be 700 millimeters. A width of 650 millimeters is possible exclusively for samples not designed for daily sleep, but only as a guest version.
When choosing a sofa-book, it is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of specialists.
- Determine the appointment - a sofa-book can be used for sleeping with a transforming mechanism or only as a seat without a mechanism.This affects its dimensions, and this factor must be taken into account when choosing.
- Count the number of peoplewho will use the sofa both disassembled and assembled.
- If people who use the product as a bed are tall, then for them, as mentioned above, the length of the sleeping place is suitable from 1900 to 2000 millimeters.
- For very tall - 2100 mm.
- Consider product dimensions, suitable for installation in a specific room in terms of size and performance of specific functions.
