The sofas are a characteristic component of any kindupic interior, any well-furnished house. But it is important to consider when choosing not only your own taste, but also features, dimensions of each model. In addition, it is useful to deal with specific manufacturers, and with the types of transformation mechanisms, upholstery.
Views
Among all furniture, sofas are highlighted. You can not have cabinets or shelves, chairs and even chairs. But the place for seating in the afternoon and relaxing holiday should be necessarily. Sofas are very different in their design and external execution. Only consider all the subtleties, you can understand what is required in a specific case.
- For convenience, multifunctional sofas beds are distinguished. . They are great for small-sized rooms, where it is impossible to use other furniture. Such structures will probably like both children and even teenagers.
Most often in the upholstery of the sofa bed, a solid fabric is used, which is easily cleaned and does not cause any problems in care.
- Attention deserve various models of banquets . This is a universal solution that can be an excellent addition to the bed of an ordinary sample. But sometimes the sofa banquette can be located in the lobby, and in the guest area. The difference between individual designs is that there is no back or armrests everywhere.
- Lovers of practicality will surely enjoy a compact sofa chaise longon. In addition, this product complies with all basic aesthetic requirements. Sofa lounge chairs can have both one and several seats. Among them are fixed and transforming copies. Of the more capital and solid structures it is worth named a radius sofa. The semicircular form immediately makes the space more interesting. Such designs will appreciate people with creative inclinations and fans of investigative experiments.
- In large living rooms, you can often see the sofa of a large size with a goat, that is, with a small auxiliary sofa. Such furniture is designed to land two people as close as possible. This is a product for family leisure and to communicate two close friends. It is specifically calculated in such a way that the situation is created as comfortable and more pleasant.
- On the street (near the house or in the country), suspended sofas are increasingly used. Often, they make a kind of imitation of a swing for adults. This product immediately creates a romantic, cheerful mood. In the room it is usually trying to mount to the ceiling. But the appearance can be diversified by models without hanging (stationary) - in this case, use illumination.
LED embedded elements will help create a romantic, cozy atmosphere in a quiet evening. They will allow you to use the bar or built-in shelves in the dark. And they can replace a full night light.
Also more often choose lately Electric furniture. It is much more pleasant traditional and allows you to save a lot of strength, time.
Transformation mechanisms
The differences between the sofas models relate to this moment. Lovers of the traditional approach and visual simplicity often prefer the "Eurobook". But a simpler version is the usual "book" - also has hundreds of thousands of fans. The simpler the mechanism, the more reliable.
For comfort, many specialists praise device type "Recharter". Such mechanisms can be used separately for each part of the sofa. Adleners are sometimes equipped with an electric motor. In this case, their layout will occur at all without the cost of physical forces.
Sometimes preferred Picky versions. They also simplify life, but the wheels will inevitably break the floor covering. I. Arms of American, French, Belgian, Italian standards.
Gabarits.
Guest rooms are often high sofas. They allow you to place the maximum of useful things without occupying cabinets, shelves, or beds somewhere else. A large height does not interfere with the use of a variety of transformation mechanisms or do without such mechanisms. Serial models, note, rarely have a huge size. It is more typical of products manufactured by individual order.
The height directly affects comfort and safety.
So, the models with a low back, although they look attractive, do not quite correspond to the physiological norm. It threatens the transmission of blood vessels and impaired blood supply to individual parts of the body.
Sleep straight sofas are quite popular. We usually make a depth of 60 cm or even less. You can find such furniture with the most different upholstery options, in any color. In many cases, however, they choose a deep sofa. This solution is also quite justified, because there is a lot of purely from personal taste.
The more depth, the larger pillows can be put. And the larger the complex of people who can take advantage of this furniture.
But sometimes you have to unwittingly choose not serious quadruple samples, but light short models. They are most acceptable for studio apartments and such housing. The miniature segment is also very diverse paints, geometric forms and stylistic solutions.
As for the weight of the product, not only dimensions are influenced by it, but also the materials used. Of course, a 120 cm sofa for 130 cm cannot weigh as much as an instance of 200x200 cm. It is such dimensions that are not accidentally named - they correspond to the standard dimensional grid adopted in our country. In angular structures, the length of the longest part is usually from 1.3 to 1.5 m. The sleeping area varies from 1.4 to 2 m in both planes (the golden mean models 160 per 200).
Materials
Frame
Sofas with a metal frame are popular with popularity. This solution guarantees optimal reliability and rigidity in any operating conditions. Other things being equal to the parameters it will be much more compact than the frame elements from the Pine Brous. Since the product is created using welding or steel fasteners, it disappears the need to use glue.
Therefore, the metal is environmentally friendly than wooden support elements.
The metal frame of the collapsible type consists of single blocks connected by bolts. In this embodiment, there is no need for welding. If some part and will be broken, the elimination of the defect is quite possible and does not even take too much time. True, sofas with a welded frame allow you to save a prominent amount of money.
Quite rarely meet (and look unusual) sofas From the profile pipe. Like all-metal options, such furniture is able to successfully serve several decades. You can make such structures even with your own hands, and it will be quite accessible to any experienced master. The metal profile of the high class is quite rigid to be guaranteed to survive any domestic impact.
But if you evaluate the furniture not for technical, but on the aesthetic parameters, a braided sofa will be much more attractive (including the option with wooden sidewalls).
You can weave not only IVA, but also exotic rattan. Wicker structures have such characteristics:
- Weigh relatively little;
- differ convenience and comfort;
- no problems are rearranged into other places;
- look natural;
- appropriate not only in homes, but on the street;
- Cannot be used in baths and saunas (under the action of water and high temperatures, even the most reliable weaving is broken).
It should be borne in mind that not all furniture is made entirely of wicker details. Sometimes wooden and even plastic frames that increase the overall structural strength are used. It is the basis that the specifically selected vine is powered.
Along with the wicker sofa, other furniture of the same species can be used.
Upholstery
The selection of upholstered material should occur as thoroughly and thoughtfully. For this purpose, sometimes use Synthetic and natural skin. The second option is more expensive, but more corresponds to the appearance of a respectable house, whose hosts are characterized by an excellent taste.
From a practical point of view, however, Jacquard fit better. It will not fill in the sun and is mechanically durable. The fabric intertwined on the jacquard technique will last long.
Not bad service life is different and velveteen. In addition, he leaves a pleasant feeling when touched.
Shenille Resistant to dust, also praise for softness and resistance to moisturization. Many people try to use cheap and practical flock, it is perfect for the house where there are many pets.
Filler
Even if the frame and the upholstery fully satisfies the requests of consumers, the illiterate selection of the filler can be tested. Often try to use spring blocks, and then you need to make a choice between the dependent and independent execution. The first option is suitable only for periodically used sofas.
For a full sleep, only solutions will be used based on high-quality independent springs.
Other things being equal The higher their concentration per unit area, the more perfect is the design.
In second place in popularity deservedly turns out Polyurethan. The foamed material of synthetic origin has different rigidity.
Important: Only the most rigid varieties are suitable as the basis for a bed.
but Cast polyurethane foam suffers from the so-called sintering effect. On its surface, a solid thermal crust is formed, which prevents normal air circulation. This shortage is devoid of so-called sandwiches, or block PPU. It allows you to vary both rigidity and height of individual items.
As for the foam rubber, it cannot be considered not only as an alternative to polyurethane foam, but also, in general, as a serious filler.
Cheap sofas are often styling. Nonwoven polyester fiber is inexpensive and has an elastic structure. From other options it is worth noting:
- periothek;
- Struttiferber;

Modern tendency in design

At the same time, no decor for walls will need, it is also saving on aesthetic details, auxiliary decorations.
From other important recommendations worth noting:
- Refusal of armrests of the finished form;
- minimizing inserts;
- Refusal of legs "like a flying saucer" or other unusual forms.
Styles

How to choose?

Pay attention to the fact that Some models are attached to the wall along, and others across.
IMPORTANT: If the sofa decides or opens forward, it always means that it is impossible to count on a perfectly smooth sleeping place. Be sure it will consist of a number of parts. The weakest site turns out to be the "third headboard", which is least reliable in any mechanical impact. Reliable folding mechanisms should be made from steel not thinner 0.5 cm.
Riveted mechanisms are more reliable and less noisy.
To note: To keep the floor covering longer, you should use sofas with rollers of the same size as in roller skates. It is very useful to inspect the furniture from all sides.
