Sofas with spring block

Modern furniture is not at all what it used to be. Today it is much more comfortable and practical. Using the new materials, the furniture industry market offers a lot of new products, with which you can radically change the style of the room design. However, despite the new fillers, sofas with a spring block do not give up their positions and differ from their early counterparts.

Modern sofas with spring unit stand out a variety of design. In addition, they have different sizes and types of construction. This significantly increases the choice of parameters and allows you to make a purchase based on your preferences. Today, sofas are the accent of the room, decorating any interior, and not just standard furniture.

The spring block used in the construction is notable for its reliability, since it is made of high-quality steel. If earlier the springs broke during deformation and tore upholstery, today they are joined according to another principle, therefore, with constant use, they do not break, but weaken.

The advantages of sofas with spring unit include:

• structural reliability;
• durability and practicality in operation;
• comfortable sleeping bed;
• different level of rigidity;
• calculation for a different weight load;
• block elasticity;
• large selection of models;
• modern type of filler;
• universality of models.

Such sofas, as a rule, fit well into any type of room. With skillful choice, they are able not only to accentuate, but also to zone the space. If you go to the purchase of furniture thoroughly, it will not clutter the room and create the desired effect of freedom.

Sofas with spring unit are designed not only for adults. Today, they are often bought for children, since such models are able to replace the bed, and if necessary they are folded, saving usable area of ​​the room.

Some models are made with orthopedic effect, which allows you to purchase not only reliable, but also high-quality furniture that ensures healthy sleep without harming the spine and neck.

It is good for the correct position of the body during sleep or rest. Such models are considered to be good prevention of spinal diseases.

There are three types of sofas with a spring unit: straight, corner and modular.

• The first are the standard versionwhich can be placed against the wall or in the middle of the room, while it does not disturb the harmony of the design.

• Corner sofas are no less comfortable.and if the design involves changing the angle from the right to the left and vice versa, that is, there are no problems when rearranging and changing the style of the room.

• Modular options allow you to create a model of spring modules - an interesting design technique with which you can create a unique model with different functionality.

The type of spring block is of considerable importance in the choice of model. If the purchase does not pay attention to this, operation may not be as comfortable as we would like. It is important to consider what type of spring is designed for one, two people, how it differs and how long it will last.

All types of sofas with spring unit are divided into three types:

• snake;
• bonnel;
• independent type.

Simply put, these are models with dependent and independent spring units. In one case, the springs are interconnected by means of a frame, in the other steel parts are not connected.

The block by the principle of spring snakes reminds analogs of Soviet times. The name “block” is conditional for it: rather, it is the basis on which the filler is placed. Each long spring is connected to the frame with metal fasteners. In order not to violate the integrity of the grid, the springs are located at the same distance between themselves and are connected by an elastic material. The location of the springs is horizontal.

Of all the types of spring block, it is the simplest and less durable. Over time, it is forced, as in most cases, foam rubber is used as a filler for it. Not only the top layer of filler deteriorates, but also the bottom, the load on which is created more.

The classic type of construction is a block grid of springs. These are the full-fledged springs of the twisted form made of steel.Externally, the design of the block is designed as follows: each element is connected to the upper and lower edges of the frame, and in addition, has a connection with the nearby. It turns out a kind of metal mesh, which is covered with a cover of dense textiles.

Such a spring unit is suitable for most people, so models with it are in great demand. The block is somewhat harder than a snake, but not solid enough to distribute the load evenly. It is an analogue of beds with a spring mattress, it is calculated on average weight.

The disadvantage of the unit is uneven load with a lot of weight. In addition, to the position of the spine was correct without curvature, you need to sit on such a sofa strictly in the center. Such a spring unit is universal, but inferior to an independent type.

The most reliable version of the unit, more expensive than their counterparts. The springs of a cylindrical shape are arranged vertically, each of them is packed in a separate case made of special breathing textiles.When the unit is loaded, each spring works separately, without dragging down adjacent elements. This principle of operation eliminates the deformation of the surface of the sleeping bed: it remains smooth, providing the correct anatomical support of the body.

In addition to the basic principle of operation, among the blocks with an independent type of springs there is a variety with double springs. Such a unit is the most durable. In it, another spring is inserted into each spring, which begins to function only in the case of a large load.

The choice of the sofa, based on the qualities of the spring unit, can make it difficult to purchase. In addition, sometimes the store may not be the right model.

The first is purchased as the best option in the price-quality ratio, the second is better for health.

Choosing a sofa spring block, it is worth considering a few nuances:

• spring block without a filler is more suitable for a bed, it is less practical in a sofa;
• the level of rigidity of the block depends not only on preferences, weight, but also on the health and age of the person (older structures do not recommend increased rigidity);
• the spring should have many turns: the surface will be smoother, and sleep will be more comfortable;
• ideally, the block should not only have springs and a layer of polyurethane foam: it’s better if, in addition to them, there will be an edging of the side faces and a layer of coir or felt above and below.

The immaculate block, which will last a long time, consists of several layers: a metal frame with springs, a layer of dense polyurethane foam and felt. Coconut fiber should be chosen by those who are planning to buy a sofa with an orthopedic effect. If, in addition to the springs, there is only a small layer of synthetic winterizer, in this version they will start to be felt rather quickly.

Having defined the varieties of the spring block, the question of the transformation mechanism arises. The convenience of a sofa, unlike a bed, is the possibility of transformation. When buying, always take into account this factor. Sofas are vykatnymi, folding and movable. By the type of transformation mechanism, they are of several types:

• book - a classic method of unfolding, reminiscent of the opening of the book (lifting the seat up until the backrest falls);
• eurobook - an alternative to books with the difference that the seat is not only lifted up, but also slightly pulled;
• dolphin - a sofa with a box in which there is an additional block of a sleeping bed (unfolds, pushing forward by the handle or loop, lifting up to the level of the seat);
• accordion - a variant of three blocks with folding on the principle of a folded harmonica (you need to pull the handle, and all the blocks form a sleeping bed);
• click click - a mechanism with a click (the seat is raised up to the click, then lowered);
• American folding bed - a triple block that unfolds first behind the back, then (when the back is lowered down) for the part with the legs;
• french cot - a mechanism with a fixed back (before transformation, remove the cushions, then stretch the seat);

The mechanism of transformation is chosen individually. The main thing is that it allows unimpeded assembly and decomposition of the sofa in the necessary parameters of the room.

Modern upholstered furniture is designed in such a way that it is possible to repair or replace the unit.If funds allow, you can order a new unit by measuring its dimensions. When there is no desire to overpay for the repair or restoration of the unit, you can repair it yourself.

• To understand the scope of repair, you need to determine the status of the unit. To do this, it is separated from the base, remove the upholstery brackets (if there is no lightning), then raise the foam layer and evaluate the situation. If several springs come into disrepair, they can be easily replaced. In this case, there is no need to change the entire unit - just buy the necessary springs in a special store.
• Loose springs unscrew gently with pliers. Stretch them does not make sense, because, ultimately, it does not solve the problem. It is better to immediately replace with new items. Having changed the details, they are closed with foam rubber, then they put on the cover, put the block in place. All actions are performed taking into account the sequence inverse to the parsing of the block.
• If there is too much repair, it is better to order a finished block of the required size. The technology of its installation is not difficult: since it will be in a new case, it will remain only to determine the right place.

Sofas with a spring block are in great demand among different groups of customers. This is evidenced by the numerous reviews left on the Internet. Buyers note that such furniture is more durable in operation compared to springless unit, which is significantly inferior to it in quality and durability.

Most comments are about block filler. Here the opinions are different, but they boil down to one thing: in addition to the springs, addition is necessary, since it is the layer principle of the block that makes it more resistant to sagging and improves quality. Buyers like the spring block in that it resembles an elastic and comfortable bed mattress.

Some opinions speak about the high cost of high-quality sofas with independent springs. The price of such furniture is quite high, which in a certain sense puts a barrier between desire and purchase. However, the spring unit - this is not the case where you can save, because health is most important. A lot depends on how sleep and rest will be.Buying a sofa is an investment in your own health that you need to always maintain.
