In addition, corner folding models are much more expensive than direct ones, so not everyone can afford their purchase.
Transformation mechanisms
Today, manufacturers of upholstered furniture produce corner sofas for sleeping several types.

Their main disadvantage is that for the transformation, the sofa needs to be moved and moved away from the wall. Plus - affordable price.

Choose the right one
Before choosing a good sofa for daily use, which would at the same time serve as a comfortable place to relax, a spacious bed and originally fit into the interior of the room, you should take into account many nuances. Specialists at the time of purchase of furniture recommend paying attention to such basic characteristics as dimensions, type of folding mechanism (it should be convenient) and material of manufacture.
When purchasing a sofa for everyday use, it is best to give preference to products from well-known brands, since their products are of high quality.
Frame type
The main component of sofas for sleeping is the frame. It must be durable and high quality. It is best to give preference to models in which the frame is made of needles, birch or oak. Metal frames also have high operational characteristics, but they also have one minus – with frequent use of furniture there is a chance of a “creak”. As for chipboard, this is a budget, but short-lived material.
Filler
During the manufacture of sofas for sleeping, foam rubber is usually used as a filler, but it loses its strength over time. To make it comfortable during sleep, you need to choose models with orthopedic mattresses. The spring blocks also received good reviews, they are practical, but they are expensive.
