A model that expands in length will take up very little space in the room. This solution fits harmoniously into any interior. There are a lot of models of this type, and sometimes because of this, choosing the right one is not so easy. Some modifications fold out to the side. In this case, after sliding the seat to the side, the laundry container opens.
This option may even be suitable for use in the kitchen. Models without armrests also deserve attention. Such ottomans look bright and unusual in any interior. The elimination of "barriers", however, makes it difficult to land from the edge during the day. However, for a night's sleep, this is more of a plus.
And the opportunity to plant several people at once will delight buyers. The effect of cluttering the room, which is characteristic of a large sofa of the usual kind, disappears. For your information: many models without armrests are angular.
Another advantage is the minimal risk of injury. Since there are no armrests, there is nothing to bump into.

And also the system is in demand "accordion". This name is also given by association, now with the "bellows" of the musical instrument of the same name. The berth is very wide and is located high above the floor. However, the accordion arrangement excludes the use of a linen drawer. In addition, serious weight restrictions appear.

How to choose?
The first step in choosing an ottoman is choosing the right place where it will be purchased. Preference should be given to large stores (preferably direct representative offices of manufacturers) or reputable websites. You should definitely study the reviews about specific brands and models.
Important: a good couch always has a removable cover. Otherwise, during the day, the surface will be very vulnerable to any pollution.

Almost all convertible ottomans are now equipped with spring blocks rather than polyurethane foam filling. Springless models are significantly cheaper. However, their service life is also too short. When you need to provide yourself with an extra bed, it is very good if pillows are included in the package. The reliability of construction materials also plays a very important role.

You should also consider:
- workmanship of hidden parts;
- quality of fasteners;
- durability and serviceability of upholstery fabric;
- the style of the room;
- room illumination (otherwise it is impossible to choose the right color and its saturation).

Examples in the interior
This is how an attractive bed (or rather, an ottoman) might look like. The unusual geometric shape of this product immediately attracts attention. The individual inserts are color-coordinated to match the carpet. A bright picture and a curtain of rich color add real intrigue to the interior! In this case, a very light floor turns out to be a favorable general background.

This is another attractive folding couch. The high-backed double bed only adds charm and external charm to the room. The color combination with the carpet and floor is calm, which fits well into the classic interior. In general, a very bright environment is beneficial to the room. Decorative items are also visually combined with a sofa.
