However, if you approach this issue taking into account basic knowledge and basic selection criteria, everyone will be able to purchase the best option. The material in this article will tell you how to choose a small sofa with a berth for rooms for various purposes.

Sofas equipped with berths have many advantages. The possibility of transformation allows you to use them not only for sitting, but also for daily sleep for a child or adult. When assembled, they are compact and take up a minimum of space.

In addition, products of this type are distinguished by:

• variety of upholstery material;
• variability of the type of filling;
• a variety of manufacturing materials;

You can put small sofas in rooms for various purposes. They are suitable for placement in the living room, bedroom, children's room, kitchen. In addition, they can be put in a bay window, on a loggia or a glazed balcony. Some models can become elements of furniture in enclosed gazebos.

Due to their small size, they can replace chairs in the kitchen or chairs in the living room of small-sized apartments. At the same time, models are often supplemented with drawers for storing any things. Despite their compact size, they are functional and roomy.This makes small sofas indispensable elements of furniture in the arrangement of small apartments.

Depending on the modification on sale, there are models for children and adults. Designs are optimally simple and easy to operate, some options can be expanded by teenagers. However, along with the advantages, small sleeper sofas have several disadvantages:

• the unfolded sofa takes up a lot of space, which limits its placement in different rooms;
• transformation mechanisms loosen structural elements over time;
• not every transformation mechanism is suitable for placing a sofa in a particular room;
• the sleeping place is designed for only one person, it will not work for two to sit on the couch.

In terms of comfort, they are inferior to large analogues. Mini sofas are not suitable for arranging spacious living rooms and open-plan rooms, where they look out of place. However, in such cases, you can buy several sofas that are the same in design and material, creating a cozy and comfortable guest group out of them. In a large space, single models at best look like armchairs.

Today, manufacturers of small-sized sofas offer buyers a lot of options for every taste and budget. Products vary in configuration and design, as well as functionality. At the same time, they can be classified according to various criteria.

By type of product execution, small sofas are straight and angular. In this case, modifications of both types may differ by the presence or absence of armrests. The direct type of structures is convenient for their installation along the wall. Such sofas can even be placed in rooms with a challenging perspective.. They equip premises of a combined type (for example, when you need to make a tiny islet of rest on the site of the former loggia).

Products of a direct type can have not only traditional, but also functional armrests. Often, models sometimes have even 1 armrest with an integrated roll-out storage system. As a rule, these structural elements are equipped with a pair of small shelves. The upper part of the armrest is decorated with a tabletop, which can be used to place any things or a compact table lamp.

Options without armrests are convenient for arranging very small rooms, since they reduce the likelihood of injuring residents of an apartment or house on the corners of furniture. However, in order to increase user comfort, manufacturers provide such furniture with soft cushions of various shapes that serve as armrests. On this furniture, it is easier to find tension covers that extend its life.

Depending on the type of support, the models are divided into an option with and without legs. Products of the first type are considered more convenient in terms of practicality. In addition, under such sofas it is easier to remove dust and dirt, air circulation favorably affects the upholstery and component structures.

Lineup for children more like folding chairs. Such furniture is equipped with a soft back and armrests. Moreover, the number of bed mats, depending on the built-in transformation mechanism, may vary. The shape of such sofas is the most diverse.

On sale there are both traditional models that are no different from products for adults, as well as sofas, houses, as well as options with a folding place in the form of paintings depicting your favorite cartoon characters. Other modifications are equipped with an additional mattress, a berth of a separate category is made up of pillow mats.

Corner sofas can be traditional and sectional. Products of the first type are characterized by rigid fixation of elements. The second in essence is nothing but the matched blocks of modular systems.Of these, you can make sofas with an ottoman, sofas with pouffes or banquets, which in the future can be used as blocks of a berth.

Regardless of size, small and miniature sofas can have a different type of internal cushioning. Conventionally, all types of filler can be divided into 2 types: spring and soft springless. Options with a spring block are divided into 2 groups: with dependent and independent springs. Each type of modification has its own characteristics.

The best type are models on independent springs of small size. Such sofas last longer, they are harmless to the spine and during sleep do not bend it. Springless type analogs are anatomical and conventional packing made of different materials.

Models of small sofas with a berth provide for a different type of transformation. Folding systems can be retractable, folding, lifting and retractable. Most direct models are equipped with a forward system. Most “book”, “dolphin”, and “clamshell” are considered to be in demand among buyers.

Depending on the type of execution, the blocks of the berth can be located in the inner box of structures. Others, when assembled, replace the seat or back. The lifting type is also convenient: such folding mechanisms work silently, they do not require user effort and turn the sofa into a small single bed-couch in less than a minute.

In corner analogues, the transformation is to get a rectangular berth from the corner. One part rolls out or rises in them: the corner remains in place. Separate modules are simply put to each other in order to get a full berth.

In the production of small sofas with a berth, different raw materials are used. Most often, such furniture is made from wood and metal products. The frame of structures is wood: it is from it that lamellas or trellised bases are most often made.

Internal boxes are often made from plywood. Functional armrests with shelves and compartments for storing oversized items are made of it. Transformation mechanisms and wheels are made of metal, while it can be different. This explains the durability of some designs and the short life of others.

The material of the upholstery is also different. The most expensive designs are sheathed with natural or artificial leather. Such models are expensive, they look status, are characterized by durability. The skin is easy to care for, it does not allow moisture and water to pass, it is well cleansed of dirt and resistant to abrasion.

In addition, flock, furniture tapestry and jacquard are used as furniture upholstery. Separate the constructions are covered with velor, boucle and velvet. However, these materials are impractical.They quickly lose their attractiveness.

The dimensions of small sofas with a berth can be different. Some of them in folded form are like narrow banquets, and therefore have a seat depth of about 35 cm.The width of compact sofas can be about 1 m, which allows you to install them on balconies, creating tiny islands of relaxation areas. Models can be standard and very small.

For example, the average parameters of the assembled mini-sofas can be 652x480 cm. If you expand the product, its parameters will increase to 185 cm in length. The length of other products can reach 2 m with an ottoman length of up to 1.5 m. The parameters of angular modifications are on average 2 m in length with a seat depth of 65 cm.

Folded single sofas can have a height with a back about 90 cm, a length within 120-135 cm. At the same time, the depth can reach 100-105 cm. Children's models can be completely small, not exceeding a length of one and a half meters. The average height from the floor to the seat level can be different, its indicators vary from 40 to 45 cm.

The armrests of the products can be rigid narrow and soft voluminous. Their maximum width usually does not exceed 25-25 cm, the average depth reaches 60-65 cm. Modular blocks can be from 50 to 60-65 cm in width and depth. In addition, miniature sofas are also very narrow, not exceeding a depth of 45 cm.

When choosing this or that model in the room of your home, you need to consider a number of nuances. Initially determined by size, they select the optimal seat height, length and width of the sofa. To understand the degree of its convenience, it is necessary to try on. This will show how deep is enough, whether the backrest is comfortable.

When the sizes are selected and the place is determined, inspect the transformation system. You can’t do without a visual inspection. It is necessary to check the folding mechanism. Its course should be smooth and silent, without any jamming.

The color of the sofa is also important. Upholstery, its material, texture and pattern should be combined with the background solution and furniture elements of a particular room. Color should not be knocked out against the general background, color contrast should be harmonious. It doesn’t matter whether adults or children buy a sofa: without a harmonious combination, creating an atmosphere of home comfort will not work.

The shape of the product should be similar to the shape of existing elements of arrangement. The frame must be reliable, wooden or metal. Leather is considered an ideal upholstery.. If there is no money for such a sofa, it is better to take a model lined with flock.
