Corner sofas without armrests: features, types and choices

Corner sofas without armrests can be no worse than models with a similar element. But in order to make the right choice, it is necessary to take into account the characteristics of each type.

Corner sofas without armrests have earned high authority among consumers. The angular shape provides the most rational use of free space. She brings notes of coziness and comfort into the room. It’s nice to relax on such sofas even after a very hard working day. And there is also a large, comfortable place to sleep.

Almost all existing methods for transforming a corner sofa are acceptable for everyday use. With their help, you can convert a sofa into a double orthopedic bed. Necessary anatomical properties are achieved using filler. Most often, an orthopedic corner sofa is equipped with either spring blocks or PPU.

Angular configuration great for the distribution of visual zones in the room and their functional differentiation. You can always put such a sofa both in the corner and in the middle. In this case, he can separate leisure and work areas, dining and kitchen areas. Both separated segments will be as comfortable and practical as possible.

However, some people believe that a sofa without armrests looks like aesthetically unfinished. In reality, the situation is much better. Compact modifications are quite comfortable and can even replace a full bed. If there were armrests, they would only create additional interference.

Speaking about the advantages of structures without armrests, it is worth noting:

• saving free space in the room;
• original geometric configuration;
• the ability to turn a piece of furniture into a full accent;
• spectacular appearance;
• emphasized modern look;
• equipping most modifications with drawers and other storage systems.

The armrest forms a protruding corner. Accordingly, if it is not, there is less risk of injury. This is especially important for children and pets, who often cannot control their movements and movements. Moreover, such an advantage is important in a limited area.

But designs without armrests also have disadvantages:

• some people still consider them visually inferior;
• sometimes the lack of pillow support is emotionally annoying;
• some models are expensive (sometimes sales and seasonal discounts help).

Due to the wide variety of corner sofa models, it is extremely difficult to select the optimal solution. This is often thought - and in vain. Simple criteria will give a clear answer.

A folding mechanism is needed only for those people who will fold the sofa every day, and in the late afternoon prepare a berth from scratch. In addition, each type of layout mechanism has its own characteristics.

For example, "Dolphins" and "books" are most often chosen by those people who value simplicity and reliability. The “book" mechanism involves dividing the sofa into two blocks. Change its shape, folding the back to a click, and then folding it. If the “book” mechanism fails, it is not difficult to repair it. A more advanced type is Eurobook - almost as reliable. The click-gag mechanism has a third position, which is intermediate between the two extreme positions.

At "Accordion" It provides for the unfolding of a seat when pulling the lower block. Immediately there is a box for storing items. After assembly, the furniture is very compact.

Concerning Dolphin then this mechanism is less reliable than the usual "book". However, its advantage is the minimal expenditure of forces during layout.

Rarely folding sofas are usually equipped with mechanics:

• withdrawable type;
• "French clamshell";
• "telescope".

The classical configuration of corner furniture implies an imitation of the letter "L" (in Russian spelling - "G"). If the space in the room allows, you can choose the U-shaped and C-shaped sofas. In the classic and vintage interior, the furniture is closer to the round shape.

For a modern interior, rectangular and close models are preferable.

The standard size of the corner sofa is:

• along the length of the main part from 2300 to 2800 mm;
• along the length of the sidewall from 1500 to 1800 mm;
• height 900 mm.

Large berths include areas:

• 2000x1400;
• 2000x1500;
• 2000x2000 mm.

In children's rooms and dining areas, furniture 1500x1500 mm is used. Non-standard designs are sometimes found:

• 2500x1770;
• 3000x2000;
• 3500x4500;
• 4000x4000 mm (true, they are in the range of only individual manufacturers).

Saving on corner sofa material is not too smart. This requirement applies not only to the frame, but also to the finish. Responsible producers use solid hardwood or solid oak as the main raw material. Previously, such wood is dried in a natural mode, without resorting to enhanced heating.

And also can be applied:

• cellular blocks made of polyurethane foam;
• quilted mats;
• jute mats;
• coconut mats;
• foam plates;
• linen cover;
• jute cover.

Pick up small compact sofas is not always reasonable.In a very large room, they simply get lost visually. As for the size of the sofa, they are selected taking into account both the size of the room and the growth of users. Be sure to remember both the free space in the aisle and ease of use. The appearance is selected in accordance with the design of the room.

In a vintage and classic interior, it will be appropriate to look:

• graceful legs;
• backs with a curved outline;
• decorative ducks;
• wood (possibly even carved) trim parts.

If it is difficult to find a good solution for a corner room, you need to give preference to leather upholstery. She always looks graceful and elegant. But in a modernist interior, plain designs with a direct contour will be more attractive.

If you plan to redo the situation often, modular sofas are an ideal choice. And, of course, you need to pay attention to the feedback of previous consumers when acquaintance with individual models.
