Popular “Eurobnizhka”
The most popular transformation mechanism. The sofas of the “Euro -Rozhka” are appropriate in the living room, and in the bedroom and in the children’s room. To create a berth, the front part on the rollers is rolled forward, and the back is laid in the resulting niche.
“Eurobrins” vary in the design and allow a different number of sections, rotary elements that turn a straight sofa into a corner. Simplicity of operation and a huge section for storage. “Eurobrnizhka” is considered better than a model for daily operation.

A flat sleeping place is formed in a decomposed state. There should be enough space for laying out in front of the sofa, over time, the floor covering is deformed in the places of movement of the legs on the rollers.
“Pantographer” – “Walking Euro -Officer”
This is an advanced version of the “Eurobrins”, but already without rollers on the legs, that is, more gentle. The sliding mechanism does not deform the flooring, and a capacious niche for storage is formed under the berth.
When laying down, the lower seat, equipped with special loops at the junction with the back, is pulled up. When lifting, the lower part is advanced using the mechanism and opens the legs for the support. They lower the back into the resulting niche, and get a double place.
The advantages of Pantogram include:
-
Simplified transformation mechanism
-
Comfortable and even place for sleeping
-
The flooring is not deformed.

Rolled sofa
Models with a rolling mechanism consist of two parts. To lay out the sofa, you need to pull the loop in the lower part of the seat, which is quickly rolled out and becomes in the right position. The back is lowered into the resulting niche. The main advantages of the rolling mechanism include:
-
Volumetric storage system
-
A simple way of transformation
-
Long life
-
It is allowed to use as a double bed on an ongoing basis
-
Ergonomic location in collected form.
With constant laying out the sofa, the integrity of the flooring is violated. The foam filler with intensive operation quickly loses its shape.

Saspling mechanism “Accordon”
When laying out, the sofa with the A accordion system resembles the same musical instrument, that is, to form a place for sleeping, it needs to be “stretched”. In the original position, parts of the sofa are returned as easily. The extended part is fixed on special supports, a small seam forms between the sections, which is not much discomfort.
In a folded state, the sofa with the accordion mechanism is quite compact, the models are supplied with storage cabins, the mechanism is highly reliable and is quickly driven.
The Aquordon sofa requires a large area of at least 1.5 m in front, during the movement of the supports on the floor, the coating is deformed eventually.

Dolphin system
The algorithm for laying out the “dolphin” is as follows:

pull up the loop up

A sleeping place is formed.

A sofa with a “accordion” transformation mechanism does not require additional space.
Important: the body of the “accordion” sofa should be made of strong wood or metal with high-quality welding, since the described transformation mechanism creates a certain load on the structure.
The intensive operation of sofas with the Dolphin mechanism rarely exceeds 5-7 years, and the rollers deform the flooring.

Convenient and fashionable “river”
Modern sofa “Riverliner” quickly gained popularity. The functionality of upholstered furniture drives a special mechanism hidden inside the sofa. The riverliner allows you to change the position of the back, put forward a bandwagon or activate other convenient options.
The reconnaissance recruiter may include a vibration massager, a built -in electric motor, a remote control and other “chips”.
The sofa-director is intended for daylight, and a full-fledged place for sleeping is not provided in it. The cost of sofas in the “smart” mechanism is the highest, since in addition to the control system in the upholstery of such models, expensive materials are used.

Features of the operation of folding sofas
When choosing a model with a transformation mechanism, you need to take into account the side into which the sofa will be laid out:
-
forward on the legs, the sliding part rests on the legs after the end of the movement, raising the sliding part, can avoid deformation of the floor covering
-
To the side, such an option is chosen if there is a barrier in front of the sofa (table, wall, cabinet, etc.). When forming a berth, the sofa lengthens on the end side
-
Forwards on rollers, such models leave traces of rollers on the floor, therefore relevant with wear -resistant coating.

Choice recommendations
For the daily operation of the transformation mechanism, models with the “Book”, “Eurobnizhka”, “Dolphin”, “Pantograph” system are recommended, the remaining options are optimal for setting up several times a year. In addition to the mechanism, when choosing a sofa, you should pay attention to:
-
External and internal elements. Any defects indicate poor -quality assembly or cheap manufacturing materials. With intense load, poor -quality mechanisms will quickly fail.
-
A solid mechanism does not have sharp or unclosed edges and deformations, metal parts are covered with paint.
-
The frame of the frame should withstand the alleged loads; in an inexpensive segment, a combination with chipboard and MDF is allowed.
-
For the seats filler, spring blocks, foams and polyurethane foam are used. The optimal choice – PPU or independent springs endowed with an orthopedic effect create a full -fledged berth.
-
Strong upholstery is the key to durability and attractiveness of upholstered furniture, do not save on upholstery.
-
Reliable manufacturers guarantee trouble -free operation for at least 18 months. A lower warranty period indicates low quality of the product.
