Overview of varieties
Sofas with a special mattress can be presented in straight and angular versions. For a small room, a straight design is suitable, and it is better to place a corner sofa in a more spacious room.
Sofas differ in the mechanism of transformation, but if there is a box for linen, there are not so many options. And also this type of furniture can be classified by the number of seats - mainly single and double options.
The classification of mattresses that can be used in the manufacture of a sofa deserves special attention. Their spring block can be dependent or independent, and the following materials can be used as filler:
- polyurethane foam;
- coir from coconut fiber;
- latex (synthetic or natural);
- felt.
The same raw material is used in the manufacture of the shell that hides the springs. As a result, the hardness of the mattress is determined by the quantity and quality of the layers. There are also models in stores that can be turned on different sides, making the surface softer or harder.
Dimensions (edit)
The parameters of the sofa bed depend on the size of its body. Larger models have a spacious mattress with dimensions 90x200, 72x200, 90x205, 120x190 cm. Miniature single sofas often have a rather narrow berth up to 50-60 cm wide, while such models in most cases are not folding, but are used as stationary options.
Selection Tips
It is recommended to pay the main attention when buying an orthopedic mattress. Furniture companies often offer models with bonnell spring blocks, which are springs connected together. This is a fairly budget option, but keep in mind that it will not last especially long. They gradually sag, so give preference to mattresses with more comfortable, strong and durable independent spring blocks.
If the sofa will mainly be used as a sleeping place for one person, then take into account the characteristics of the body of the future owner... For example, thin people are uncomfortable sleeping on a hard surface, while overweight people who are overweight, on the contrary, will experience discomfort while sleeping on a bed that is too soft.
A firm mattress is also inconvenient for an elderly person, so buy a sofa with an orthopedic mattress of low or medium firmness for him. If the owner of the sofa becomes a person who has problems with the health of the neck or back, then a hard mattress is more suitable for him. To make it easier to care for your bed, buy a removable cover or mattress topper for your mattress.
And also when buying, pay attention to the transformation mechanism. If the sofa will be used as a bed every night, then buy a model with a simple but high-quality mechanism, for example, an "accordion".
Check the integrity of the upholstery and the quality of the materials from which the laundry box is made. Examine the surface for cracks, scratches and other imperfections. In general, do not skimp on your purchase - a better quality sofa will last as long as possible.
Consider the manufacturer of the selected model. For example, foreign sofas are usually designed for rare use as a berth, therefore their mattresses are not always durable. If frequent use of the sofa is planned, then give preference to copies from domestic manufacturers, especially since their assortment is quite rich, and the price in most cases is lower compared to foreign models.
