Dolphin corner sofas

Corner sofas with a dolphin mechanism are a relatively convenient and comfortable type of furniture. But he has his own subtleties that cannot be ignored. Only taking into account the characteristic features of each product and the nuances of style allows you to succeed.

You can meet a corner sofa with a dolphin mechanism very often. Adherents of such a transformation system say that it decomposes with the formation of maximum free space. Therefore, you can sleep at night quite calmly even for large or actively moving people in a dream. Wherein transformation does not increase the occupied area. This is very nice where literally at every step various items are placed.

The mechanism moving along the guides is made of steel. The full work of the product depends on the quality of this steel. The rollers for the movement of the frame are usually made of polyurethane. Most often, the frame is covered with chipboard or thick plywood.

A pair of extendable sections is located under the seat. One of the sections is buried in another, and this is a fundamental point, regardless of constructive innovations. When the sofa is laid out, both elements need to be advanced. Only after this is a large sleeping area formed. Thanks to a set of springs and levers, raising the dolphin frame does not cause problems.

If you want to get a big berth, you need to choose models without armrests. Sleeping people feel freer and more comfortable on them. There is no need to constantly adapt to the same armrests. Such a solution looks unusual and can be harmoniously incorporated into a room of any style. The increased capacity will please especially those who live in a small house or an old apartment.

Little of, refusal of armrests will make furniture even visually easier. This is fully consistent with the key trend of modern design. If there are small children in the house, for them the armrests are a source of additional risk.

It’s useful to take a closer look and to folding sofa beds. They can be put even on a limited area - where the traditional bed does not fit. The vast majority of such modifications has boxes for linen. Therefore, there is no need to buy additional cabinets or occupy part of the space in wardrobes. At least 80% of corner sofa beds are similar to the letters "G" and "P"; a more complex configuration is usually made with custom manufacturing.

Very popular models with shelves. These storage elements can be located not only on the corner, but also on the back wall, in the armrest and even in the back. The presence of shelves is possible both in L-shaped and in U-shaped structures. Most often sofas with shelves-stands are used. Such additions are attached to the back.

Their size is relatively small. But still, you can safely put a cup or a glass, put the remote control from the TV, watch, mobile phone. More and more people prefer sofas in which the shelf, as it were, continues the back. This can be done in open and closed ways. The advantage of this option is that the shelves reach a larger size and are located as comfortably as possible.

The most impressive performance is when the shelf occupies the entire site, right up to the seat. The capacity of such a storage system is maximum. Depending on the design of the designers, niche shelves and compartments with a significant number of relatively small shelves and partitions are used.

When choosing a design, you also have to make a choice between sofas with a spring block and soft fillers. A concrete solution is more a matter of taste; if something is not clear, you can always consult with suppliers or sellers.

We started using springs a long time ago. Upholstered furniture based on them was operated in the middle of the last century. But since then, technically, of course, everything has gone far ahead. True, the springs themselves have not really changed, but there are reliable pads. Thanks to them, you can sleep peacefully on a spring sofa without fear that something will stick into your side.

They deserve special attention sofas with orthopedic mattresses. Thanks to them, you can prevent the occurrence of many problems with the spine and joints. But it is very important to choose the right mattress design. Only those that are designed physiologically accurately guarantee the optimum effect.

Components of corner sofas with a dolphin mechanism are made from various raw materials.

In the distant past, sofas could only be found with frames made of solid wood. Now also apply:

• Birch
• maple;
• nut;
• beech;
• oak and other species.

But usually preference is given to moderately expensive varieties of wood. An elite array of furniture is becoming more expensive, and they are trying to avoid it. Pine is very cheap, but the problem is that it is very difficult to find an acceptable pine massif. Because it is used only in ultra-budget furniture. You can use similar products, but you can’t count on their continued operation.

Metal frames are quite durable, and it is extremely difficult to damage them. Similar designs look great in high-tech style rooms. It is not difficult to repair a sofa with a metal frame if it is still damaged. Resistance to fire can also be considered a plus. But all this is fairly overshadowed by a significant mass of metal products.

It is important not only what the body of the sofa is made of, but also what it is surrounded by. If you are not limited to spring blocks, and look at softer solutions, then Among the first, it will definitely be polyurethane foam. The density of this material directly depends on how durable it is. Cast PPU can be formed into blocks of a strictly specified size. But on its surface a “crust” is formed, which prevents ventilation.

Therefore, in some cases, they use a “sandwich” (block PPU). Regardless of this, material is quickly restored even after a serious load.

Budget sofa models often do from synthetic winterizer. It is environmentally friendly, but is unlikely to last long. And also can be applied:

• periotech;
• struttofiber;
• holofiber;
• latex;
• durafil.

Much depends on the upholstery. Not all people can afford a leather-covered sofa. And its strength is low. There are many cases where a leather sofa suffered from sharp objects. A good alternative can be considered velours - It is outwardly pleasant, and the sensations when touched are pretty good.

Velor furniture fits perfectly in boho and shabby chic styles. This fabric is characterized by a special velvety texture.

Flock is recommended for those who have animals at home. Such material will survive all their "bullying" (within reasonable limits, of course). Still can be used:

• jacquard;
• velvet;
• tapestry;
• Boucle;
• scotchguard.

Sofas 160 by 210 cm can be a great berth. With this width, you can already relax. On the other hand, the width of such furniture will not create any problems in everyday life. A prime example is Askona's Daynight New Enrich1 4039. The big group includes furniture:

• 1400x2000 mm;
• 1500x2000 mm;
• 2000x2000 mm.

Among non-standard products, models are popular:

• 177x250;
• 300x200;
• 350x450;
• 400x400 cm.

Art Nouveau style, despite the literal translation of "modern", has existed for at least 100 years. It is characterized by the plasticity of forms and general grace.

Equally popular is the style of Provence. It is expressed in the use of village motifs, “field” and “marine” colors. The bulk of the Provencal sofas are now small.

In addition to these two styles, they are widely in demand:

• loft;
• minimalism;
• high tech;
• Scandinavian approach.

Choosing a corner sofa with a dolphin mechanism, you must definitely find out whether it is possible to change the cover at home. This is especially important where they plan to keep pets. If you liked any one model, you should study the reviews about it on independent resources. Another nuance - It is best to purchase sofas and other furniture immediately from the direct manufacturers. This is more reliable than trusting small workshops or small shops.

Some more recommendations:

• carefully check the size of the sofa;
• inspect its hidden parts for defects;
• check the quality of the skin;
• require quality certificates.
