Sofas with Accordion Mechanism and Drawer

The accordion mechanism in sofa beds is a fairly popular transformer, which has quite a few advantages. Easy to use, durable and durable, the sofa is very popular, despite the fact that there are an incredible amount of folding mechanisms. "Accordion" can be used as a permanent or temporary berth. The cost of such models is quite acceptable and affordable for almost everyone.

The mechanism itself is simple, the design includes three departments, one of which is stationary, it is a support seat, and two are mobile. The frame material is predominantly metal, trimmed with wood of different species. The “accordion” flannels with the laundry box are arranged in an order that can withstand severe loads.

The folding procedure is as follows:

• movable type blocks are equipped with rubber wheels, they move smoothly with the whole system;
• the flooring is not damaged;
• the case can be dismantled even by children;
• just pull the bottom under the seat and push it toward you.

As for the benefits, among them are the following:

• can be of different sizes, really pick up for any room;
• easy to fold out;
• berth with orthopedic surface;
• can be operated for different purposes;
• compact model;
• You can choose a set with chairs;
• most often there is a linen compartment;
• when unfolding does not move, you can not retreat from the wall.

Sofa bed "accordion" may differ in size, shades, texture, shape.

• Direct view. Simple and concise, placed mainly against the wall. The back is comfortable, the posture on it will be well fixed, this is the classic look of the "accordion". A more compact version has a storage box, but when folded, there is not too much space on it.

• Angular view. Most often located in a corner or in the center of a huge room for zoning purposes. One of the areas of the sofa is stationary, the other is roll-out, there is a section for storage. This is a very comfortable model with enough seats. Pretty overall in comparison with the direct view.

The price and durability of the product largely depend on this parameter.

This is the basis of the sofa, affecting durability and quality. Most often in the "accordion" use aluminum, metal mesh, wooden box, chipboard, MDF. Jumpers can be made of wood or plywood, polypropylene, rubber, PVC.

The comfort of the seat and the quality of sleep depend on this. The mattress can be with a spring unit or non-spring type. They differ in different levels of stiffness and fillers. Among the most popular:

• latex;

• polyurethane foam;

• coconut fiber;

• felt;

• wool;

• cotton;

• elastic foam with memory effect.

The choice of fabric most often depends on the buyer, especially if furniture is made to order. Upholstery is chosen based on personal preferences, aesthetics, room style, value. The following materials are considered the most popular:

• flock;

• suede, leather (artificial and genuine);

• tapestry;

• jacquard;

• cotton and linen.

Sofas with an accordion mechanism can have various sizes, which largely depend on the design.

• Single models. The mini-sofa is compact, not too high - up to 80 cm. The sleeping place fits into about 105-110 cm. If desired, 2 people can also be accommodated there.

• Double models. This is the most common type, which is most often chosen for small apartments. The width of such sofas is 140 or 150 cm, they are compact but roomy.

• Children's models. Standard view with orthopedic filler, compact, comfortable.

• Triple model. It measures 160x200 cm, quite roomy and comfortable.

First of all, the sofa should be harmonious in terms of style and color design. Upholstered furniture is the central link in any interior composition, so there should not be a discord. The sofa, regardless of location, always looks like an addition to the background of the wall, so the harmony of this pair should be absolute. Be sure to consider the shades of the textile. There are certain rules for choosing the color of the sofa. First you need to determine which group it should belong to:

• plain, includes both neutral (black, white, beige, brown shades) and bright (blue, green, orange, violet);

• patterned - Upholstery that has a print, ornament in any style (geometry, floristic, animalistic, abstraction).

Monochrome options are the most versatile and practical, they most easily fit into the composition. They can be placed in any room, regardless of style. Printed models are more moody, especially if the ornament is expressive, catchy. Here it is necessary to take into account not only color, but also the shape, style of the picture. In addition to color, texture is important, which can transform even a monochrome model.Materials tend to reflect light differently, so they differ in rooms with different lighting.

It is very important to consider the type of room - in the kitchen, practical upholstery of not too easily soiled colors that do not absorb odor is optimal. In the living room - comfortable, soft, pleasant to the touch. In the nursery, those that are easier to clean are preferred. In addition, in the nursery and the room where you relax, too flashy, contrasting solutions can tire the nervous system.

In order for the accordion sofa to last a long time and not disappoint, you need to pay attention to the following points. The filler provides comfortable seating on the couch for sleeping or relaxing. Therefore, saving on this point is not worth it. Before you buy a sofa, consider the following options.

• Dimensions. Estimate how many family members will sit or sleep on the couch, whether there is a need for a large model. Do not overload the room with furniture, if this is not necessary.
• Design. An angular model is preferable if it is possible to place a sofa in a corner or if you need to zone the space in the kitchen-living room. Direct models are more compact, they can also be placed in the center of the room.
• Frame. It depends on the quality of this parameter whether it will be easy to lay it out, how long it will last, whether it will fail. The optimal solution is aluminum frames, lighter, stainless and reliable. If the wood box is perfectly dried, it will also be durable. Particleboard and MDF do not differ in long service life.
• Filler and upholstery. The level of density and stiffness must be evaluated in a practical way. As for the fabric, strength, ease of care, and style are important here. If there are pets in the house, this must be taken into account, since many types of upholstery are easily scratched.
• Additional items. First of all, this is a box for storing linen, armrests with shelves for storage, built-in bars, coasters, coffee tables.
