Sofa beds with orthopedic mattress

Sofa beds with orthopedic mattresses are a very attractive type of furniture. They allow you to sleep well at night, and have a good time during the day. But the big role is played by the correct choice and consideration of the main features.

A sofa bed with an orthopedic mattress (or, as they say sometimes, with an orthopedic base) is very useful in everyday life. With it, you can successfully solve a number of sleep problems and avoid being broken in the morning. The sofa is ergonomic and at the same time relatively compact. When it is complex, it turns into a great place for leisure, meetings with guests and the like. It is convenient to sit and lie on the sofa during the day with a book, magazine, tablet.

The range of sofas today is simply huge. Therefore, almost all people can choose a suitable model. It is only necessary to approach this matter thoughtfully and carefully. Some models, which have an intermediate position during the layout, effectively replace the chair. Two or even 3 pieces of furniture in 1 is the dream of the owner of a small-sized apartment, and it’s more profitable for money.

Some versions are equipped with a topper., that is, a medium-sized auxiliary mattress. It allows you to more accurately adjust the rigidity of the furniture. But sofas with orthopedic mattresses have a weak point: they will have to be assembled and disassembled every day. At the same time, it is also laid out additionally (bedding is removed). Toppers help to remove the joint that occurs when unfolded, however, they must be bought separately, and such mattresses hardly affect the wear of mechanisms.

It is also necessary to understand what an orthopedic mattress is better or worse than an anatomical analogue.These varieties are very often (and completely in vain, note) confused. Orthopedic effect implies maximum support for the spine. It avoids back curvature due to increased stiffness. Anatomical mattresses very accurately repeat the shape of the body and guarantee the maximum level of comfort.

Orthopedic models:

• very effective in combating salt deposition and osteochondrosis;
• allow you to relax very effectively;
• cope with many causes of insomnia and headaches;
• suppress (weaken) arthritic pain;
• formed from fireproof materials;
• reliably protected from dust mites;
• not inclined to accumulate static electricity;
• take in little water (and sweat, of course, too);
• provide effective air circulation.

But this does not mean that the orthopedic mattress is ideal for all occasions. These products are quite expensive. They can last a long time only subject to strict operating rules. If children are allowed to play on the couch with an orthopedic mattress, you can’t count on it.

Much depends on whether we note what specific type of sofa is used. Rollout Models long recognized as the best choice for performance and reliability. Inside, a special design of the rollers is used, divided into 3 parts. When folded, one of the parts is inside the sofa back. The other 2 blocks form the seat itself.

Converting it to an ordinary bed is easy: you only need to pull on the secret belt, fastened somewhere in front. Each next drawer in the pull-out sofa is slightly lower than the previous item. However, it is impossible to notice this - the whole difference is compensated by carefully selected pillows. As a result, the front surface of the berth is on the same level. Sleepers do not feel any failures or “humps,” even if they are very demanding of such shortcomings.

The blocks are rolled out using the wheels. They move along predetermined guides, which are rigidly fixed to the frame. Attach any noticeable force is not required. Even children can use the roll-out sofa bed - without feeling any inconvenience or difficulty. Roll-out sofa beds also feature:

• minimum occupied space in the room;
• the possibility of close proximity to the wall;
• the presence of built-in storage systems;
• universal appearance (guaranteeing a good perception in any room);
• simplicity and reliability of the mechanism;
• superior durability;
• long period of service;
• a wide range of design solutions and colors.

but roll-out sofa bed cannot form a high berth. In many cases, its height is only 0.2-0.3 m from the floor. Undoubtedly, this will not suit all people. You will also have to constantly monitor the health and safety of roller blocks.

Therefore, it is worth paying attention to a more traditional folding type. Moreover, he repeatedly proved himself to be the best. There is no ideal, suitable for all cases, layout mechanism. Only taking into account the particular performance and your needs, you can make the right choice. The classic solution that is often (and justifiably) chosen is "book" and its logical technical development - Eurobook.

Such a device allows you to arrange the main parts after the layout in the most rational and physiologically adequate way. Also, the "Eurobook" is characterized by:

• small footprint;
• the formation of a large berth;
• the ability to firmly push the sofa bed against the wall;
• the presence of a large linen box;
• wide price range (allowing you to choose the best solution);
• compatibility with a wide variety of fillers and types of upholstery.

In the "Eurobook" There are no parts that could break. If certain problems arise, they can always be eliminated with your own hands. However, such a sofa will continuously affect the floor. Even the most durable and stable flooring is unlikely to withstand such an impact for a long time. On parquet, laminate and linoleum, it is better to put a sofa with wheels, and not with legs.

If you try to choose a multifunctional convenient option, then preference should be given click-to-gag pattern. Sofas of this design can hardly be called newcomers to the Russian market. Sophisticated consumers have long known that it is convenient to store the same bedding in them. The transforming mechanism used allows you to select several different positions of the back and rigidly fix them. “Click-gag” is generally reliable and durable, it also does not cause any inconvenience at night.

The traditional "accordion" also has no less positive qualities. In the characteristics of this method of transformation always indicate:

• the convenience of use;
• long service life;
• ease of everyday use.

Accordion Design can be very different. Therefore, the selection of a model that fits perfectly into the design of the room is not difficult. There are modifications with both traditional mechanical and automatic position changes.

Dolphin sofas, like other modifications, can be supplied with anatomical and orthopedic mattresses of your choice. To unfold such furniture, belts or handles are used. These parts allow you to move individual parts of the structure. The berth on the "dolphins" is quite large and comfortable. Some modifications of such sofas may differ:

• materials used;
• size;
• the presence of the linen box or the rejection of it;
• using armrests with hidden niches for storing things (although you can, of course, choose a model without armrests at all).

Many people among all the folding sofas in the first place type "French clamshell." It really resembles a traditional cot. But inside, a drop-down frame consisting of three steps is used. “French folding beds” are rather compact in folded form; after the folding, a seat is enough for two people. They are placed both along the wall and in the center of the room.

The "French" scheme still has a major flaw. Due to the specifics of the mechanism, it will be impossible to store things inside the sofa. And when unfolded, the structure will occupy a lot of useful space. For the convenience of sleep on such a sofa will have to use an additional thin mattress. And here it is important to make a small digression to understand which models are better - with a spring or ordinary one-piece mattress.

There will be only one answer: only high-quality spring blocks allow optimal orthopedic characteristics to be achieved. As a guest or occasionally used sofa beds you can buy furniture with dependent blocks of type "bonnel". This is the only kind of dependent spring blocks that deserves attention. All other options are morally outdated and will not suit modern people.

It is useful to consider that in different sofas with independent spring blocks there may be an unequal number of reference points per 1 sq. m. It is this indicator that determines the quality of support and safe, restful sleep. So, the standard TFK includes 256 springs per meter, and in the micropackage scheme there are already at least 1000 of them. Multizone models choose those who can’t find the optimal conditions for each part of the body. In this case, a careful adjustment and adaptation will take over the sofa itself (or rather, a mattress).

"American clamshell" consists of three sections. For layout, pull the seat. Following it, all sections are opened and mounted on the supports themselves. It is only necessary to take into account that each section requires a separate layout. “Sedaflex”, as this type is sometimes called:

• does not cause difficulties during operation;
• mechanically reliable;
• Stably works for many years;
• does not have linen boxes;
• inevitably forms seams on the surface of the berth.

There is a common misconception that sofa beds can only have direct and angular execution. Usually, they also add that the first type is better for zoning, and the second for "closing" unused corners of the room. But island sofas are no less useful solution over a large area. They can neither be put in a corner, nor pushed against the wall.

Corner sofa:

• suitable for a large living room;
• forms a very large berth;
• able to replace the combination of a direct sofa and a traditional armchair;
• quite difficult to transport;
• can be delivered far from everywhere;
• spoils the look of a small room and does not fully use it.

The properties of direct sofas are as follows:

• the ability to install both to the walls and in the middle of the room;
• rational use of even limited space;
• increased depth and capacity of seats;
• variety of dimensions;
• comparative ease of carrying;
• perfect visual combination with chairs.

A good sofa bed, as already turned out, is done only with a "filling" of independent spring blocks. Even the best grades of polyurethane foam cannot be considered a full-fledged alternative. But upholstery materials are no less important, because it is with them that people will be in continuous contact. Tactile sensations, appearance, and environmental safety play a role. Among the natural types of upholstery stands out cotton.

It is hygroscopic and at the same time freely passes air. Since only natural raw materials are used in production, the material is completely safe for humans and the environment. Even with active use, cotton upholstery will last at least 5-6 years.

Many people, however, prefer a more durable jacquard. This material is very resistant to ultraviolet exposure and looks chic, makes a pleasant impression with floral ornaments and patterns.

It will be more pleasant to look in the emphasized antique interior tapestry. They make it about the same technology as the jacquard, however, they use more expensive raw materials. Nowadays it is already impossible to get by with natural fibers alone. Because the tapestry almost always now includes synthetic threads.

Those who have enough money should take a closer look. to silk upholstery. It is distinguished by a particularly smooth surface that leaves a pleasant feeling. Silk only seems fragile - in fact, it is a stable and reliable material. In addition, it does not provoke allergic reactions and does not gain a charge of static electricity. However, many people are not happy with the feeling of cold created by silk materials.

In the classic interior, leather sofa beds will also look positive. The skin may have a smooth shiny or matte surface. It is better to clarify this point before buying, so as not to spoil the ensemble. The skin is long enough and undemanding in care. However, she is “afraid” of fire and sharp objects, and the variety of shades is relatively small.

Another good option is scotchguard. This matter is similar to jacquard, but much cheaper. Products from it are long and mechanically durable. Caution: Scotchguard is very poorly exposed to hot water.

Designers often recommend the use of sofa beds from flock. Their surface is elusive velvety. This fabric is environmentally friendly and resistant to contact with water. It looks good both in guest areas and in bedrooms. However, the flock absorbs odors and will gradually fade.

The dimensions of the sofa bed are also important. Small designs are unsuitable for the whole family or for people with high growth. The main difference to consider is the choice of a single or double piece of furniture. These two groups have separate dimensional grids when it comes to serial production. To order, of course, they can make a sofa bed of any size.

Among the direct sofa beds, the most common are triple models. They allow you to relax during the day or evening with the whole family. The length of such furniture varies from 2 to 2.5 m. The width is 0.8-1 m. Double structures are more compact (usually up to 1.7 m with the same width as for triple counterparts).

The selection of a sofa bed for sleeping and for daily use are completely different things. In the first case, maximum convenience is crucial, and in the second, the appearance should be taken into account. But the most reasonable is to seek the optimal balance between them. If you plan to sleep on a sofa bed constantly, you should prefer models with a capacious linen box. This is practical and allows you to unload forever crowded cabinets.

You should not buy a sofa bed in online stores (except for the largest and personally verified places). There it is impossible to control the real quality of the goods. Be sure to be interested in quality and safety certificates. Experienced users always look at reviews in advance in different places and check the serviceability of the design at points that are hardly visible from the outside. It is also advisable to check that the entire fabric is stretched as tightly as possible, does not sag anywhere and does not form folds.
