The sofa is an indispensable piece of furniture in any home. During the day - this is a great place to relax and receive guests, and at night you can use it as a bed. In any case, each owner of the living space faces the task - which piece of furniture to give preference.
Choosing a sofa is not an easy thing. The design should be distinguished by reliability, durability, harmoniously fit into the space, and product design must comply with the style of the interior. Also, the furniture should be multifunctional, easy to use and meet all the requirements of the future owner.
Features and benefits
Modern models of sofas are notable for a wide range and various transforming structures, but the choice of sofa directly depends on the type and dimensions of the room:
- For small spaces, an excellent solution would be to purchase a sofa bed. Due to its compactness and functionality, the transformer easily fits into a room of any size and turns a cozy living room for comfortable accommodation of guests into a bedroom with a comfortable module for sleeping.
- In spacious rooms, not a single living room can do without this piece of furniture. The ergonomic relaxation zone, necessary after a hard day of work or additional sleeping places for late guests - all this is in the competence of transforming sofas.
The sofa with the mechanism of "eurobook" is very popular among the various transforming models. Convenient, reliable and affordable product in the unfolded state looks very compact and concise.
Eurobook sofa has one of the most comfortable to use design, which consists of two parts and has a built-in module for storing bedding. When unfolded, the sofa has a smooth and comfortable surface for sleeping without seams and bends.
Eurobooks withstand loads up to 250 kg.
The transformation mechanism itself does not require much effort and rather quickly and easily unfolds and folds. And the wheels available on many sofa models will simplify the transformation process. In addition to a spacious storage box, a side niche with shelves or a mini-bar can be built into the sofa.
A large selection of colors and a diverse range of models are the undoubted advantages of the Eurobooks and allow you to choose a sofa for any interior design. In addition to the aesthetic aspects of the eurobook is equipped with an orthopedic design for a healthy and comfortable sleep.
The transformation mechanism of the eurobook was created taking into account daily use and therefore has a high wear resistance. In addition to special movable mounts for rolling out the lower part of the sofa, the mechanism has no other parts, which significantly reduces the risk of breakdown of the transformation mechanism and prolongs the life of the sofa.
What kind of transformation mechanism and how does it unfold?
The device mechanism is just to perfection. No locks, clips and springs, only a moving seat and swivel option at the back. The eurobook is displayed quite simply:
- The seat extends forward along withdrawable rails, which can be made of wood or metal.
- The back is lowered into the formed niche horizontally to the seat and forms an orthopedic surface for sleeping.
The seat of the sofa-book can be equipped with wheels or legs. Sofas with wheels in front are more convenient to push, while the design with legs more carefully interacts with the floor covering. One of the types of transformation of the sofa-eurobook is a “pantograph”, which can simply be called a “walking eurobook”. Its main difference from the classical mechanism is that the seat does not move forward on wheels, but “walks” on legs with the help of a design with springs.
There are also models with a triple layout mechanism. This type of eurobook contains an additional module built into the seat, thereby increasing the berth by 20-30 cm, when unfolded, the size of the model reaches 195 cm in width and 200 cm in length.
What is the difference between a book and a eurobook?
The Eurobook is a more advanced model of such a design as a “book”.This type of transformation is also convenient and practical, but has a number of drawbacks before its new version.
The book is an outdated mechanism. Sofa-books are only direct forms. To start the transformation process, you need to raise the seat up until it clicks, at this time the back of the sofa will gently recline. When lowering the seat down mechanism sets the back to a horizontal position automatically and the sofa unfolds.
Sofa-book is the most budget option, and its design is simple and reliable. But for the transformation of the sofa requires additional space for the back, so that install the book near the wall will not work, the sofa should be moved back by 10-20 cm.
Eurobook also differs in that it has a more even surface for sleeping and does not need to be moved away from the wall. Moreover, for the decomposition of the “book” mechanism it is required to make efforts, while the eurobook due to the guide rollers does not require any load, the mechanism is inertia expanding itself.
Eurobook rightfully be called the most convenient and durable mechanism of transformation.

Styles
Due to the large selection of models of sofas with the mechanism of "eurobook" to buy a sofa that matches the style of the room, it becomes much easier. Especially if you follow the advice of experienced designers who have developed several simple concepts combining sofa design with interior style and are guided by their own preferences.
Color spectrum
To create a harmonious color scheme, you must consider the following recommendations:
- Shades of blue and red appropriate to use in such stylistic directions as baroque and classical.
- Minimalism and Gothic welcome black and white gamut, complemented by a contrasting third tone.
- Ampiru, Rococo, as well as the classics and baroque are inherent in all shades of blue and brown.
- Natural shades In the form of beige, green, pink and white perfectly fit the style of country and Provence.
- Art Deco and Hi-Tech imply acidic shades of yellow, blue and red in combination with black.
Furniture placement
In addition to the combination of shapes and colors, it is also important to arrange the interior in space relative to each other:
- Location back to the window - Great for small rooms.
- Installation back against the wall is one of the most common methods of seating sofas. Suitable for any room dimensions.
- Back to doorway You can arrange a sofa only on the condition that the room is spacious, the doorways are wide. This is one of the best ways to zoning.
- Another method of dividing the space into zones - installing the sofa in the center of the room.
Compliance with the criteria of style
Each direction in interior design implies its own rules and settings, observing that you can create harmony and comfort in the room, according to the canons of the chosen style:
- Minimalism. This style implies laconic forms and monophonic scales in the interior, and the color can be both saturated and soothing tones.Accessories in the form of pillows, for example, should be used to a minimum, one small pad with or without a harmonious print will be enough. The same applies to other interior items. Minimum bohemian - maximum functionality.
- Classic. Design in a classic style involves the use of natural materials. Luxurious shapes, wood carving, upholstery and a large number of pillows characterize the sofa in a classic style.
- Country Floral print or geometric pattern in combination with wood elements and shades of green, beige and brown tones help to create a cozy atmosphere of a country house, which is inherent only in country style.
- High tech. One of the most popular youth styles in interior design is the exact opposite of country style. In high-tech, only artificial materials in the form of plastic, glass and metal are used. The eccentricity of this style involves the use of bright colors. The high-tech sofa often contrasts with the rest of the interior.
- Rococo. The style of Rococo personifies luxury in interior design on a par with baroque and classical style.Silk, velvet, drapery and woodcarving, throw pillows, massive elements - these are the rococo style keywords.
- Baroque. This style is the complete opposite of minimalism, here the functionality is much inferior to luxury. The spiral-shaped forms of the armrests and legs of the sofa, the bright colors of the upholstery and fringe, the high carved backs highlight the decorative frills of the Baroque style.
Dimensions
In addition to the variety of upholstery materials and types of construction, manufacturers offer a choice of a large number of Eurobooks of various sizes. In addition, in many furniture stores, together with the designer, it is possible to design any sofa that meets the client’s requirements in both size and size.
The width and length of the seat with the back at the Eurobooks have an impact on the size of the berth, and therefore there are several standard-sized sofas on the furniture market:
- Standard models with direct placement when unfolded, they have a sleeping place about 140x190 - 140x200 cm in size, when assembled, such a sofa has a classic depth of landing equal to 80 cm.The seat due to the armrests (if they are provided for in this model) is reduced by 15-20 cm.
- Corner Eurobooks considered larger in size compared to direct models. They are distinguished by a spacious sleeping module and an increased number of seats. The size of the bed at the corner sofas ranges from 140x200 to 160x200 cm, this sofa when unfolded is similar to a full double bed.
- There are also mini-sofas with the Eurobook transformation system. It would be more correct to call such a model a chair-bed. It has a small size and is designed for one person. The minimum size of the model in the unfolded state is 180 cm in length, when folded, the dimensions do not exceed 90 cm.
- The perfect solution for large apartments are triple folding sofas with triple transformation. When assembled, this model reaches two - two and a half meters in length and width from eighty to one hundred centimeters. The sleeping module can accommodate from three to 5 people and has a size from 180x200 to 200x200 cm.
- A large variety of shapes and sizes are distinguished by a modular eurobook sofa, It can be both double and triple.Their size, functionality and shape are directly dependent on the requirements of the buyer.
Materials
The quality of the design of eurobooks depends on the type of filler, upholstery material and frame. A wide range of products presented by various manufacturers of furniture, allows you to choose a sofa for all types of rooms and with any financial opportunities.
Upholstery
Most often when creating sofas use upholstery materials such as:
- Leather. All types of leather upholstery are practical and luxurious. But genuine leather requires a very careful care and care, otherwise the material will quickly crack and lose its presentation. For owners of sofas who are not ready to spend time and money on specialized substances for natural leather, eco-leather is suitable, which is unpretentious, but retains aesthetic properties and budget.
- Flock. One of the most popular materials is flock. Its popularity is due to high wear-resistant and dirt-repellent properties, affordable cost, a variety of colors and pleasantness to the touch.There is also a Teflon flock - an anti-vandal material with a unique anti-claw performance characteristic that protects furniture from damage.
- Suede. This version of the upholstery is different luxury, but inferior in terms of practicality. With frequent use, the material is overwritten and requires replacement, as is well known, the upholstering of upholstery is expensive and negatively affects the decomposition mechanism due to the fact that the sofa is subject to complete disassembly. However, the acquisition of a removable cover made of artificial or natural suede solves these problems. In case of contamination, the cover can be dry cleaned, and in case of damage, replace with a new one. At the same time, the built-in sofa upholstery will be preserved in its original form.
- Chenille This type of upholstery material is practical and reliable, but the structure of its weaving is rather coarse in appearance, but at the same time pleasant to the touch. Chenillov fabrics differ in reasonable price and a wide color range.
- Velours. Soft and pleasant to the touch material creates an additional feeling of comfort and coziness, this type of fabric upholstery is perfect for a child's room or a cozy bedroom.
- Jacquard. Beautiful in appearance and to touch the material has a complex structure and is characterized by a beautiful ornament. This is a fairly expensive material, but its aesthetic and performance characteristics justify the cost.
Frame
Metal
The reliability of the design of the eurobook directly depends on the frame. To make the sofa durable and increase its service life will help frame made of metal. This sofa is harder to break and it can withstand heavy loads.
The metal frame is popular not only among the owners, but also among the manufacturers of sofas. The metal construction allows you to create products of various shapes and sizes with a high-quality decomposition mechanism and durable fasteners. The metal frame allows you to create designs with spacious storage boxes and removable covers.
All of these characteristics are inherent in models with wooden or combined frame, but the metal structures guarantee a longer service life.
Wooden
The properties of the wooden frame are directly dependent on the type of wood used in its manufacture. For the framework of the sofa-eurobook most often used:
- nut;
- oak;
- birch;
- ash;
- red or coniferous wood.
Each type of frame differs in service life. The most durable, but also the highest in value, are the red rocks. Oak, beech, walnut and ash are cheaper and more reliable materials. Wooden frames with fastenings of details in the form of bolts, but not screws, are distinguished by the highest service life. The design should be equipped with ties to prevent deformation and loosening of the model.
Filler
The filler material has a great influence on the quality and convenience of the transformer with the “Eurobook” mechanism. The choice of manufacturers provide four types of filler:
- Polyurethane foam (PPU). The characteristics of this material make the design unsuitable for daily sleep, the synthetic filler is too hard, but as an extra bed such a module can be useful.
- Foam rubber. The soft and comfortable block of foam rubber is considered to be quite comfortable, it also has a low price. But foam rubber has a short service life due to the fact that it is too susceptible to deformation. After a few years, irregularities appear on the seat,which are felt during sleep.
- With spring block. This type of filler is of two types: with independent and dependent spring unit. According to the characteristics, it is convenient both during sitting and during sleep.
- With orthopedic mattress. It is considered the most suitable for a healthy and comfortable sleep. The orthopedic mattress combines an independent spring block and polyurethane foam. A choice of different types of anatomical rigidity.
- Latex. It is similar in properties to an orthopedic mattress and provides comfortable conditions for rest.
