Small corner sofas with a berth

Small corner sofas with a berth - an ideal solution for a small apartment. Products can be placed in any of the rooms - they do not take up much space, have an attractive and interesting design. Thanks to the transformation mechanisms, they form a place for a night's rest.

We will figure out which models manufacturers offer, as well as the rules for their selection.

The standard small corner sofa includes two sections and a corner module. The main advantage of such products is their small size. A compact mini-sofa can be installed in a small bedroom, in the hallway of a new apartment, in the living room or in the kitchen. Due to the angular configuration, such products allow rational use of the available free area.

Other benefits of sleeper mini sofas include:

• multifunctionality - the furniture is used as a seat and when unfolded it is used as a bed;
• favorable cost - small products are cheaper than similar large-sized items of furniture;
• durability - small models are often equipped with reliable transformation mechanisms that “withstand” intensive use;
• the presence of an additional compartment for storing bedding, rugs, textiles and other items.

Small sofas have many disadvantages. Their disadvantages include a low level of comfort - because of the compactness of the seat can not boast of large sizes. It is inconvenient to sit on it, it is impossible to place decorative pillows on it.In order to save space, mini sofas are very rarely equipped with armrests, drawers. Their design does not include shelves, bar counters and other accessories.

Corner mini-sofas are produced in a limited number - there are not so many of these products on sale, so choosing the optimal model for a particular interior can be problematic.

Small-sized corner sofas are stationary and folding. The former does not provide a berth - they are used only for seating. Folding variations are equipped with various transformation mechanisms.

Products can be withdrawable or sliding. The principle of transformation of the first is to roll one of the blocks forward and install a backrest in its place. For sliding furniture items, all structural details are interconnected, due to which, when transforming one block, another is automatically activated.

The most popular transforming systems:

• "dolphin"
• "book"
• "pantograph"
• Cougar
• "Scissors" - turning one block to another "
• "American clamshell."

Some manufacturers offer models that provide several transformation mechanisms.

When creating miniature sofas with a berth, various materials are used to produce the hull, paneling and filler. All these components perform different functions. The frame provides reliability and strength of the entire structure, the filler is responsible for the softness of the product, and the upholstery is responsible for the aesthetics of the furniture. All materials used have different parameters and operational qualities, so it is worth considering them in more detail.

For the manufacture of housing metal, natural wood, particleboard and MDF. The most reliable are metal cases - they can withstand the maximum weight load. However, the metal greatly complicates the design. Natural wood solutions are also strong. This material is reliable, practical and durable, but it is too expensive.

Particleboard is considered the most unreliable solution. Structures from it quickly become worthless, deform at high humidity.

As upholstery materials used genuine or artificial leather, textiles. Each of these types of cladding has its pros and cons. The most reliable, practical and durable material is considered to be genuine leather. However, furniture with such upholstery cannot be called cheap, which is why it is not so popular among consumers. More "running" mini sofas are made of artificial leather. Such upholstery looks aesthetically pleasing, but when used, scuffs, scratches and cracks quickly appear on it.

Synthetic materials are used as upholstery.. The most common ones are Jacquard, velor, chenille and flock. Demand is also available for products with tapestry lining. The fabric used should be well cleaned, not accumulate static electricity and be resistant to various types of pollution.

To give softness to an angular sofa, foam rubber, polyurethane foam, synthetic winterizer and holofiber are often used. Foam furniture is the cheapest. This material is short-lived - during operation it quickly sags and loses shape.

Polyurethane foam more expensive, but it keeps its shape perfectly due to good elasticity, instantly restored. This material is durable and durable.

Sintepon and holofiber also refer to fillers with a long service life. Such materials do not cause allergies.

Dimensions are an important parameter that you should pay attention to when choosing a sofa. If you choose the product in size, you can successfully fit it into a limited space.

Compact mini sofas have small dimensions:

• length - from 150 to 190 cm;
• width - from 80 to 90 cm;
• height - 85 cm.

Dimensions of the largest models of mini-sofas in the unfolded position can be 2000x1400 mm.

If you plan to place a small corner sofa in the room, you should study in advance the recommendations of specialists in choosing the optimal model.

• Sizes. It is worth considering the dimensions of the product both folded and unfolded. In order not to guess with the size in place, it is recommended to make measurements first. For a small room, the best solution is to purchase a product without armrests.
• Design and color. The color is selected taking into account the taste preferences of the buyer. The color should match the tone of the decoration of the room and other items of furniture.
