Replacing new furniture with old furniture is always a laborious and complicated process. Especially when it comes to choosing a sleeping place for a child. Currently, there are a large number of options, one of which is a sofa couch. It is a folding sofa with an armrest on one side and a back.
Features, pros and cons
Such a berth has a number of features. First of all, among them I would like to note the simplicity of the mechanism of the couch. Due to its small size, it is not difficult for any person to disassemble or assemble such a sofa. This feature is a definite plus.
Also, this type of sofas differs from all other options for berths compactness and versatility. Compact sofa becomes a comfortable berth. Transformer furniture can be a good solution for rooms with a small area. A folding berth will allow you to make room for games and activities in the children's room during the day, without compromising the night comfort of the child.
The couch can become a full-fledged sleeping place for both a child and I for an adult, thanks to the possibility of acquiring a sofa with an orthopedic mattress. This is a necessary thing for the developing skeleton of a child.
Therefore, it is extremely important that this fact be taken into account when choosing a bed.
In addition, the couch pleases customers with a price-quality ratio. It is possible to choose such furniture under any criteria and budget. Given all of the above features of this interior item, it is clear that it has a fairly wide range of advantages.However, it has a number of minor minuses.
First of all, among them it should be noted low wear resistance. Of course, it all depends on the material chosen from the manufacturer, however, do not forget that this is still upholstered furniture. Its upholstery requires careful care, especially when it comes to the nursery. Also, such a child’s berth can become an extra dust bag. This disadvantage can easily be leveled with full regular care. Nonetheless if the child is prone to allergies or suffers from bronchial asthma, the choice of a couch as a sleeping place is not entirely successful.
Varieties
Currently, there are several varieties of sofas, couches, so everyone can choose the most comfortable option. Primarily, the sofa can be folding or not. The folding option will be more spacious, but, in turn, the non-folding option will facilitate use.
A folding sofa involves 2 positions, which requires a shift to sleep time, as well as an additional waste of time.
Sofa ottoman is another option for a bed for a child. By analogy with a folding couch, it has a simple mechanism and a spacious berth. Also, the sofa couch can have drawers for storing sleeping linen, which, of course, is an advantage. Drawers can have both folding sofas (the drawers will be located in the extendable part of the sofa), and in a non-folding single couch.
Design
Sofa couch is a stylish and modern solution for the nursery, which is why the design of this furniture can be completely different. This can be a classic rectangular couch on wooden or metal legs, with high or low sides, with straight or fancy armrests. The choice of design for a child's bed should be done taking into account his interests.
The berth can take the form of a car, ship, castle with princesses and much more. Also, this furniture may differ in upholstery material, which is also important. Here you need to consider not only design, but also, for example, the presence of pets.
There are specially designed upholstery for upholstered furniture that are not subject to the claws of pets.
Color
The color of a child’s sleeping place can be absolutely anything: bright or muted, suitable for the rest of the interior or accent. It is worth paying attention to the soiledness of the material in order to avoid its quick deterioration.
Selection tips
An ottoman or couch will be a successful purchase that can please you and your child for a long time, if at its choice you follow some recommendations.
- When choosing between a folding couch and a non-folding couch, consider the possibilities of space and the age of your child. If the child is already quite old to prepare his bed before going to bed on his own, and his room is spacious - feel free to take the folding option.
- When choosing a material and color, think in advance what external factors can ruin the upholstery material quickly and irreversibly. For example, if you have more than one pet, buying a black couch couch may not be the best solution.
- Consider the age of your child and don’t forget how fast the children grow if you don’t plan to change the bed every year.
- Pay attention to sofas with orthopedic mattresses. In the future, this will positively affect the development of your child.
- Choosing a design think about the near future of the child: a boy who wants a berth in the form of a car at 8 years old, after 3 years is able to refuse him because of a change of interests.
