Corner sofa with bed
The corner sofa with a berth is a piece of furniture that can be used in different ways - depending on the needs and requirements, as a sofa to rest during the day, or as a bed to sleep at night.
Special features
Many people choose a corner sofa because they just want the bed to not be used frequently. Some use it as a guest sofa, providing their guests with a great place to rest in peace.
With such a sofa, guest accommodation at night will never become a problem for households.
Some of the corner options are available without a back, while others can boast a solid backrest. Most designs have pull-out belts that can be pulled out to open the mattress hidden in the base.These belts also extend the base on wheels, and the hidden mattress can be laid on the base to create a comfortable and luxurious sleeping platform. Corner options can be a great solution for smaller rooms.
Kinds
Modular
Modules are components of furniture, the combination of which allows you to modify upholstered furniture in any convenient way. Corner sofa with a turn to the left and with a turn to the right, U-shaped sofa, zigzag, semicircle - just some of the possible options.
In this case, the modules can function as independent elements.
Benefits:
- variability of forms;
- independence of elements;
- the presence of compartments for storing clothes;
- simple transformation mechanism;
- the ability to organize several separate beds or one large;
- convenience in zoning rooms.
It should be noted that the mobile modules have a relatively small weight, so the sleeper can get with gaps. Heavy modules that do not come apart and form an integral large-sized sleeper will be inconvenient to move.
Folding sofas
All types of folding beds are unfolding.They are distinguished by the original design, as well as the way of transformation of the mechanism - everything unfolds like a roll. In total, there are three types of "clamshell":
- French With a thin foam mattress and sofa cushions. Lay out in three stages. Can be with two separate beds.
- American ("sedafleks", "Belgian bed"). Two-step transformation, ideally equal place for a dream with anatomic properties. May be with the recliner.
- Italian Unlike most models, the transformation of which begins with the seat, the Italian systems use the backrest. Going down, it supports an orthopedic mattress lying on top.
In the "clamshell" of any type there are no laundry drawers.
Roll-out sofas
The sofa, folding forward, looks like a standard sofa, but it has a metal frame hidden in a section. It is necessary to remove the seat cushions - and you can simply pull out the metal frame to get a sleeper in no time. The design can be easily tilted back into the sofa frame when the bed is not needed.
It is a convenient, efficient and durable mechanism for using a piece of furniture in many ways.This option will serve as a fully functional bed with sufficient comfort and support, as well as a sofa on which to relax during the day.
There are the following types of mechanisms:
- The dolphin mechanism is incredibly simple. You need to raise the front part to apply the click mechanism, and put it back in order to get the transformed bed.
- "Eurobook" (or "book"). In most designs of such a sofa, the backrest cushion is first removed, and then the rest is disassembled. With such a sofa, it is important to make sure that it has enough space in front to unfold.
- Accordion mechanism Available in a variety of styles, but simplicity and convenience are basic design elements. The sofa usually consists of two elements: a wooden or metal frame and a mattress on top. In most designs, the back is equipped with a click mechanism - to convert a sofa into a bed. Such furniture is great for places with limited space.
Dimensions
To make sure that the furniture fits in the room, you need to carefully measure. There are some tips on how to measure everything. To do this, use a tape measure (for accurate results):
- It is necessary to measure the place of entry into the room. It should measure the height, as well as the length or width of any corridors and doors, openings.
- Then you need to measure the furniture itself. Measure the width and diagonal depth. You can do it right in the store.
- Considered large sofa size 200 × 200 cm. This sofa is quite wide and long, it is suitable for two people. It is also called double.
- Single sofas are rather small and narrow products: 180 × 200 cm in size. They are considered small-sized. Compact options also include a small mini-sofa measuring 160 × 200 cm.
- It is necessary to compare the size of the apartment and furniture. You should consider any other obstacles: ceilings, lamps, interior walls, stair railing and turns. The diagonal depth of the sofa can be defined as follows: measure the straight edge from the highest point of the back surface (not including the pillows) to the front of the armrest. Then, using a measuring tape, measure from the lower back corner of the sofa to the point that halves the straight edge.
It is important to note that this is just a measurement guide. It does not guarantee that the furniture will fit. It is necessary to take into account restrictions on the size - from the delivery truck to the destination.
Materials
The choice of a material does not only determine the resistance of furniture to various influences. This is an element of creating an indoor style. From the upholstery and filler sofa also depend on its appearance and durability. Options most often the following:
- Flock. It is a dense fabric with a pleasant to the touch velvety surface. It is universal for most rooms in the house, except for the kitchen (it will quickly become saturated with food smells). Due to the special production technology (using different piles), the flock can imitate suede, velor, and chenille coatings in a wide range of colors.
- Chenille Differs in softness and "fluffiness" of a covering. The strength is not inferior to the flock, does not fade, badly absorbs odors, hypoallergenic, washable.
- Jacquard. The most dense of the listed fabrics, sound, but pleasant to the touch. It softly fits the furniture, withstands daily use and constant exposure to sunlight.
- Tapestry. Soft colored coating of natural cotton, which is able to give a luxurious look of the furniture of the most concise form. It is easy to care for tapestry, it does not shed, there is no allergy from it. However, its natural origin is both a dignity and a disadvantage, since the material is erased and loses its appearance without the addition of synthetic components.
- Leather. The leather sofa is an indicator of taste and prosperity. Leather sofa is practical, beautiful appearance and high cost. However, the price of a luxury product is justified by its aesthetic qualities and impeccable service for a long time. Many choose to replace it - eco-leather.
- Leatherette Far from everyone can afford natural skin, but there are several alternatives that are not inferior to it in quality of service and appearance. These include leatherette and eco-leather. Upholstery made of these materials will be much cheaper, but it will fit perfectly into the interior of a rich living room, study or kitchen.
Colors
Monochrome variants look interesting. White leatherette sofa is almost universal for most interiors in a modern style. It looks very stylish, thanks to the characteristics of the coating for a long time is kept in perfect condition.
For those who still do not dare to buy white furniture, there are a number of models in other colors. Black leather (not always natural), as well as furniture of brandy color, cherry, green, blue, red and mustard shades are relevant.
Plain sofas are widely represented in the upholstery of other materials. The flock with imitation of velor or velvet looks “expensive” and original, shenill and jacquard are interesting. As an alternative to the monotony of the sofas in the so-called bicolor.
It can be a combination of contrasting colors, and a light pattern on a dark background in the same color palette, and accessories that differ in tone.
Monochrome sofas with a large number of multi-colored pillows look like a brighter element in the interior. They can be large and small, tall, flat, blown, round, elongated, in the form of rollers. The picture fits any. Combinations of colors - the most different. The main thing is that they harmonize with each other and with the main color of the furniture.
Pillows can be decorated with fringe, tassels, lace, made of material other than sofa upholstery.
Very important in modern design is a combination of textiles and wood. Not all types of transformation mechanisms make it possible to demonstrate parts of the framework, but in some cases it is possible, and not to take advantage of this advantage would be an omission.
Natural monochrome fabrics and velvet in combination with brushed (aged) wood are at the peak of popularity.
A distinctive feature of sofas for the living room, in which tea-drinking with guests often takes place, is tables. As a rule, the table is located next to the armrest, can be pushed and retract. As a material for the manufacture of the table is used chipboard, as well as MDF, wood, plywood.
How to choose a room?
There are several very important things to consider before purchasing furniture:
- It is necessary to determine whether a new piece of furniture will be used as a sofa most of the time. If you plan to use it more often as a sofa, you need to choose furniture with soft armrests, as well as a comfortable back. If the product is more often used as a bed, then it is better to choose a sofa without backs and with a spring mattress.
- It is important to decide who will sleep on this sofa. Children can get good sleep on almost any surface.If the sofa will be used to accommodate older guests, you need to purchase a supporting mattress.
- It should know in advance the size of the room in which the furniture will be. It makes no sense to purchase a piece of furniture for a room if it is too small or too large for it. You need to make sure that the room has enough space for a corner sofa. You may encounter the problem of installing furniture in a small room, where a more elegant and smaller sofa will look much better.
- It is important to consider the design of the room.in which the furniture will be located.
- Reasonable buyers never acquire anything without first trying to learn it. Since the sofa bed will serve two purposes, it is necessary to conduct a double study to make sure that all family members get the most out of the money spent on the furniture.
- It is worth checking how the sofa unfolds, whether all mechanisms work freely. It is also important to make sure that it does not creak.
- Many people need to sit on the sofa to check how comfortable it will be to rest on it. However, you need to check the level of comfort that the sofa offers when you lie on it. It must be remembered that the sofa is not bought for one day, so you need to check it properly. The typical sofa bed option offers a mattress thickness of 4.5 inches. To feel comfortable during sleep, you need to avoid the option where the thickness is less than 4.5 inches.
- Although this may not seem very important, it can be a real nuisance if you do not think in advance where to put the sofa. For the living room, corner furniture options with leather upholstery or microfiber upholstery are suitable, but you cannot put such a sofa in the nursery. Instead, it is better to choose other options.
- This is an item that many people tend to overlook. Struck by the appearance, quality or mechanism of the sofa, they can not take into account its weight, which can later become a real problem.
- Buying a product with guarantees from the manufacturer guarantees the quality of the goods. The main thing is to make sure that the product is sold with a guarantee from the manufacturer, so as not to doubt its quality.
Where to place?
The options are as follows:
- In the living room. The living room is the “face” of the living space. In this room, an angular sofa not only provides a comfortable pastime for talking and a cup of coffee, but is also a style-forming element. It is important to ensure that the fabric, color, shape of the sofa and accessories match the overall style of the living room.
- In the children's room. No matter what size it is, parents always try to give their children as much free space for games as possible, using different techniques for correctly filling the room with furniture. Most often, a bunk bed appears as a bed, but this option raises doubts among parents, who consider high designs in children's rooms unsafe. You can choose corner sofa-transformers, they fit perfectly into the nursery.
- In the kitchen. There are two options: unfolding and folding type of sofa. Unfold is simple and looks like a bench with a back upholstered in flock. If the sofa unfolds, it is a great option for turning the kitchen into the second bedroom in a one-room apartment (and in case guests arrive).
- In the bedroom. It often happens that there is not enough space in the house to divide some vital zones into two separate rooms. The living room is combined with the bedroom, the bedroom - with a study or parental room.
In this case, the bed should be mobile and equipped with a transformation mechanism. The smaller the area it occupies during the day, the more convenient it is to work in the room and go about your business.
