Corner sofas with the eurobook mechanism: features and varieties

When buying a sofa for most buyers, the possibility of its transformation into a place to sleep comes to the fore. In this vein, the corner sofa-book, whose design features allow us to use it daily as a full-fledged bed, confidently takes precedence. Furniture of this type is presented in many modifications, each of which has its pros and cons.

The corner sofa with the Eurobook transformation mechanism is a fairly simple version of upholstered furniture, which is very popular due to the ability to organize a full sleep and rest. This design provides for two base units - a front retractable sector and a lowering rear panel. The mechanism has many advantages and is characterized by exceptionally high performance characteristics:

• folded creates conditions for a healthy rest users of any complexions;
• simplicity of the transformation mechanism, which even a child can cope with without the help of adults;
• below, under the retractable sector are voluminous bedding trays and other sleeping accessories;
• if you wish, you can always use the eurobook for sleep and when unfolded - the seat on the sofa is quite wide, and thanks to removable pillows it can be further increased;
• large selection of fillers - from cheap foam to expensive orthopedic;
• long operational period.

However, the eurobook also has significant disadvantages:

• legs of this furniture during operation can push through and damage the floor;
• when unfolded, the eurobook consists of a pair of blocks between which there is a gap - sleeping at this junction can be very uncomfortable;
• with frequent unfolding of low-quality products, the service life is significantly reduced.

It is very simple to expand a corner eurobook, for this you need to perform a few simple steps.

• Remove all pillows from the sofa.
• Take the bottom of the seat and pull it gently towards you. In individual products, you will first have to slightly raise this block, and only then pull it. Typically, the retractable segment has wheels that move along even rails — they allow it to move out without any physical effort until the wheels abut against the stoppers.
• Further only pull the back towards you and then put it on the bedside drawer.

On sale there are 2 main models of corner sofas, eurobooks, which differ in the way of transformation.

• Retractable. In this case, the seat panel extends forward by sliding the wheels. Such products are widespread due to the ease of folding and affordable cost.

• Tick-so. Here, instead of runners, levers are provided on the sofa; they push the seat up and forward. A similar sofa unfolds in the same way as a pull-out sofa, with the difference that a tick should be lifted and only then pulled to itself. Such constructions are preferable, since the legs do not spoil the floor surface during the transformation, and even folding and folding itself requires less effort.

• Without armrests. In this design, instead of armrests, elastic cushions are provided, they are unfolded when unfolded. This furniture is optimal for high users, since the berth has virtually no length restrictions.

• With two armrests. This is a stylish sofa, the armrest in it is sheathed with soft fabric or has a hard coating. A pair of handrails forms length limits, so this model can only be selected taking into account the growth of the user.

• With one armrest. This type of furniture is optimal for small rooms, suitable for organizing comfortable sleep for users with different sizes.

Modern furniture manufacturers have not set standards for the creation of corner sofas, eurobooks with regard to their size, which is why buyers can choose the best model for any type of room. When choosing furniture, it is important to keep in mind that the back of such a product should be separated from the wall at a distance of 3-5 cm for trouble-free folding. In addition, there should be no obstacles in the direction of extension of the lower segment. Product length is far from the only parameter that should be considered when choosing the optimal model. Of no less importance are:

• depth and width of the eurobook;
• product height in the uppermost position;
• the distance from the seat to the back or pillows;
• berth parameters;
• length from floor to seat;
• in the presence of armrests - their sizes.

For the manufacture of sofas using a wide variety of materials. So, for the production of frames, manufacturers choose the following.

• Metal - Such models are excellent in practicality, reliability and long service life. Models with such a skeleton are the most expensive.

• Wood - This material meets all the criteria of environmental safety and hypoallergenicity, which is why wood is most often used for the manufacture of children's furniture.

• MDF / Particleboard - economical material, it is suitable for the production of cheap furniture. However, the life of such products is small. In addition, such furniture is not suitable for users with a large body weight, as well as for active children who like to use furniture as a platform for jumping, somersaults and other exercises.

• Foam rubber. Cheap material, but it is distinguished by a significant drawback - foam rubber is quickly crumpled and deformed, respectively, the period of its operation is short.

• Polyurethane foam. The material is characterized by high resistance to wear and the ability to keep its shape for a long time. Quite tough, therefore optimal for office furniture, as well as for users with spinal problems.

• Foamed latex. Non-toxic, environmentally friendly material, suitable for a good rest. It has the ability to repeat the shape of the body and supports muscles during sleep.

As upholstery, natural or artificial canvases can be used. These include natural ones.

• Cotton - material with high parameters of breathability and hygroscopicity. Cotton is environmentally friendly, safe and hypoallergenic, so most often this canvas is used for the manufacture of children's furniture. With prolonged use, this upholstery lasts 5-6 years, and in order to make the fabric more durable, it is treated with special impregnations that prevent quick wear.

• Jacquard - a canvas with a relief structure and increased density. The fabric has a long service life and does not fade when exposed to sunlight. Sofas with similar upholstery look very expensive. Among the disadvantages are difficulties in care and hypersensitivity to water.

• Tapestry - this material resembles old fabrics, therefore it is used for rooms in a classic design. Tapestry upholstery is durable and environmentally friendly, presented in a wide selection of shades and textures. However, the material has a predisposition to abrasion and burns out in the ultraviolet.

• Leather - it is rarely used for the manufacture of eurobooks, since such models are usually acquired by wealthy people who similarly seek to emphasize their social status and income level, they do not need to save square meters in the house. The skin is hygroscopic, it passes air well, in addition, it is easy and simple to care for. However, this material, when used intensively, is cracked and has an unpleasant stickiness.

• Arpatek - A reliable synthetic fabric that was originally created for car seats. It is distinguished by density, in its texture the arpatek is similar to the skin, it is durable and resistant to tears. Among the minuses can be noted the appearance of microcracks with prolonged use.

• Scotchguard - modern fabric, visually reminiscent of jacquard, but much more affordable. It consists of a combination of natural and artificial fibers, has a long shelf life, is characterized by strength and resistance to pollution.

Buying a sofa is a responsible matter, because the user's healthy sleep largely depends on its quality. That is why, first of all, special attention should be paid to the convenience of using the sofa. Having decided to save money, you can get a nasty mood and chronic insomnia together with furniture. The design should be durable and practical, so it is better to give preference to models with stable legs and a strong frame.

Be sure to appreciate the simplicity of product transformation, a good sofa should fold and unfold without any effort. In addition, a high-quality product should be unpretentious in cleaning - the user should easily clean all stains with an ordinary vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth.
