Corner sofa in the interior of a luxurious living room
The main elements of the sofa
The sofa is a complex and multilayer structure, each part of which is endowed with special functionality. Let us consider in more detail what is hidden under the upholstery.
The armrests are based on wood, metal or chipboard. Modern sofas are more often equipped with soft armrests with upholstery in the tone of the main color of the sofa or create models without them at all. The armrests with a poor -quality coating quickly become unusable, therefore it is important to pay attention to this element of the structure.
Leather “Chesterfield” – sofa classic with soft armrests
A layer of synthetic winterizer or vatin. Both materials are intended to give elasticity the sofa, but the synthetic winterizer does not differ in a long life and is quickly lost in lumps, in addition to durability, Vatin is still endowed with low thermal conductivity, creating a warm and cozy place for sitting or sleeping.
The filler, this component of the sofa can be given a separate article. The most popular and effective “filling” is a foam with a density of 25 kg, increased rigidity and the ability to withstand thorough loads. Soft options are convenient and comfortable.
The design of the sofa from the inside
The gasket from the PPU contributes to the uniform distribution of weight and depreciation, in folding models intended for sleep, endowing upholstered furniture with orthopedic properties. Also, spring blocks are used as a filler: Bonnel systems or independent blocks.
The felt is laid between metal and plywood to prevent friction and unpleasant sounds. The non -wovelin creates an additional layer that increase the density of the filling of upholstered furniture.
The bottom of the sofa is made of fiberboard or plywood.
The frame is an important component, wood, metal or chipboard are made. In the first version, attention is paid to the presence of knots in the strips, which can crack under the large weight over time. Metal is the most durable material for the frame, but the quality of welded elements is important.

The fittings are used to connect the details of the frame and ensures the mobility of some structural elements. For example, guides for rollers are important in the presence of sliding parts.
Lowel boxes are built -in and extended.
The transformation mechanism increases the comfort and multifunctionality of the sofa.

Structural features
In any furniture, and in sofas, especially there are no trifles or less important details, but first of all they pay attention to the strength of the frame, filler and upholstery.
As mentioned above, in the manufacture of the frame, wood, metal and chipboard are used, and the latter is the budget option and the most unreliable. Sofas with a cage made of chipboard are justified in the nursery, as it is not designed for heavy loads.
For wooden frames of the “Premium” class, the wood, beech or birch wood is chosen, and pine or spruce frames will turn out to be no less durable.
The frame of the sofa
The metal frame is durable, but they also have nuances, for example, it is better to buy a sofa with a metal frame of pipes with a wall thickness of 3 mm and diameters from 35 mm.
Important: the durability of the entire product depends on the strength, reliability and quality of the assembly of the frame.
The filler affects the shape of the sofa and the comfort of operation. Elastic, moderately hard filling will retain external attractiveness and functionality for many years.
Modern manufacturers offer several types of filler: spring blocks, foam rubber, PPU, Synthond, Hollofiber, felt, etc. Each of the options has a number of pluses and minuses, for example, a sofa with a filler made of foam rubber will not last long, and spring blocks do not lose their original functionality for more than 10 years.

The upholstery of the sofa is not only the exterior, but also the protection of internal elements from external and mechanical exposure. High -quality upholstery is endowed with abrasion resistance, frequent cleaning, some types of fabrics will protect the sofa from the claws of animals. The upholstery is fabric or leather, each of them has a number of advantages and disadvantages and is selected depending on the features of operation. The most reliable textile upholstery includes Shenill, Jacquard, Tapestry and Fllock. The leather sofa is not cheap, looks presentable, resistant to liquids, but demanding in care.

When choosing a sofa upholstery, the main users of upholstered furniture are taken into account, and in the presence of small children and animals, materials resistant to pollution and scratches are selected.
Methods of transformation
There are a lot of mechanisms for transforming the sofa into a sleeping place, but we will consider the most popular of them.
Book and Euro -Road
The low cost, ease of operation, the presence of a storage box and a quite spacious sleeping place puts sofas-codes at the chapter of the list. Similar models have been used for decades. To convert the sofa into the bed you need to raise the seat up to the click and lower it back. The disadvantages of this mechanism include the need to have free space behind the sofa, as well as the hollow on the sleeping area, which is formed in the decomposed state and creating certain inconvenience during sleep.
A sofa book without armrests
The Euro -Roll is an improved version of a standard book, but it no longer needs a free space behind the back and it is convenient to put such a sofa close to the wall. To convert the front of the sofa to the berth, it is necessary to pull on yourself, and put the back into the resulting niche. The cost of the Jewish sofa is quite democratic, there is no cavity between soft elements, and the presence of wheels in the front protects the floor from scratches and dents.

It is such a sound that makes the mechanism when transforming the sofa in a double bed. Outwardly, the “click-knack” sofas are simple and elegant, equipped with a linen box. Other models have three possible provisions: lying, sitting and reclining. The pluses include simplicity of transformation, and the minuses are the need for free space between the wall and furniture, as well as a small carrying capacity.

Outwardly, it looks like the diving of the “dolphin” from which it got the name. The back in the models of the Dolphin sofa is not laid out, it can be pulled closely to the wall. In direct options, there is no box for linen, in the corner – it is equipped in a stationary part. Not suitable for independent use by children.
