This piece of furniture should be not only a comfortable resting place for the whole family, but also a full-fledged sleeping place. The design of the sofa should be simple and light, so that not only adults, but also children can use the furniture. This feature distinguishes the sofa, which is based on a convenient tick-tack mechanism.

This interesting name this piece of interior has received thanks to the built-in mechanism in the design.This special device is called the pantograph, thanks to which the sofas have received the second name. Due to the mechanism of the pantograph, the sofa does not leave on the wheels when unfolding, like a eurobook, and “steps” forward.

All models of sofas are equipped with decorative pillows and rollers that decorate not only the product itself, but also the room where they are installed. In addition, each model, although different in design, has a rounded shape of the corners despite the straight lines of the frame itself.

Sofa tick-so possessing such indisputable advantages and numerous advantages, unfortunately, has some drawbacks. The wide seat of the sofa in the assembled state provides some discomfort and is not very comfortable to use while sitting.

The statement that everything genius is simple can be fully attributed to the sofa mechanism pantograph. The simplicity of this design, which operates on the principle of a pendulum, is built on the basis of a transformation that operates in two stages.

The mechanism itself consists of spring blocks and rods, due to which the seat is raised above the floor and installed on the legs. The sofa as it steps forward. Unlike the vykatny mechanism supplied with rollers, this does not harm to a sexual covering. Even the frequent use of a sofa equipped with a pantograph does not cause a single scratch to absolutely any floor covering.

In order to disassemble the sofa you need to pull the loop up and the seat is lifted, then pull over and install the structure on the support. Then you should lower the back wall of the sofa down. The bed is ready.

During the day, it serves as a resting place for the whole family, and in the evening, thanks to a convenient transformation mechanism, it easily turns into a comfortable sleeping place where three adults can easily fit.

The walking mechanism is also in direct models of sofas. Unlike the corner option, the direct model takes up less space in the folded state. The size of a berth of a direct product at all does not concede to the size of a corner variant.

Different versions of the direct model are available for every taste. Someone will like a model with wooden armrests, and someone - with armrests, trimmed with cloth.

Pantograph sofas differ not only in shape, but also in the composition of the berth, which can be equipped with a spring block or filled with polyurethane foam.

• Bonnel It is a block where all the springs are interconnected by spiral wire and are between two steel frames, thanks to which it keeps its shape for a long time. Different density is expressed in the number of springs per square meter. The denser the block, the greater the orthopedic effect.

• Springs in the independent unit Pocket spring. They have a cylindrical shape and are made of steel wire. Each spring is wrapped in a special textile case. When exposed to the block, the springs are compressed independently of each other.
