In the process of choosing and acquiring new furniture, many pay attention only to its appearance, mentally imagining how it will look in the interior. Someone takes into account the comfort of the seats and the serviceability of the sofa transformation mechanism, losing sight of the dimensions of the upholstered furniture. But, in fact, attention should be paid to dimensions first of all, since the product must fit in a predetermined place in certain rooms, creating the necessary amenities.
Standard dimensions
Standard - means the average, the most acceptable, comfortable, in demand. Any person, most likely, had at least once in his life sitting in a pair with someone in the same chair or sleeping in a 4-person tent with 5 neighbors. Separate episodes are quite possible, but daily it is necessary to rest in conditions that physiology has established for the body, coupled with anatomy, as well as medicine.
To comfortably sit a person, it requires 50 centimeters, and to lie - 70 centimeters (non-standard physique in this situation is not taken into account).
The standard parameters of sofas are determined based on these criteria. Key product features are three parameters.
- Height. The distance from the floor to the final upper point of support for the back.
- Length. The distance between the extreme lateral points (for direct modifications, the angular distance of each component is calculated separately).
- Width. The distance between the end points of the rear and front edges of the lower soft block (when unfolded, the length becomes the width of the sleeping space).
The sofa book has different dimensions.Mass-produced furniture is designed in accordance with the average growth and weight parameters of consumers. For an individual order with various characteristics, as a rule, expensive modifications are created.
"Book" is usually made with a place to sleep in 2 versions. The equipment that has passed the test of time and is currently in great demand among consumers.
- One and a half sofa when unfolded, it is made in 2 versions - 1900 × 1200 and 2000x1200 mm. The second option is for people with growth above average.
- Double sofa decomposed into a wide bed of 2000 × 1600 millimeters.
In this modification, to make other dimensions, for example, with a larger width of the back and seat, which means to make it uncomfortable for sitting. Even if the seat is 80 centimeters wide, which is equivalent to half the sleeping space of a 2-sleeping sofa, a pillow should be placed under the back.
A person should be able to lean his back against the back of the sofa. If it is in the distance, the furniture becomes uncomfortable for sitting.
Unusual sizes
The modern market for upholstered furniture is shocking with a wealth of choices and can offer multifunctional, comfortable and ergonomic sofas that have not only an original appearance, but also a structure. However, despite the fact that all stores selling upholstered furniture have a decent and diverse assortment, you often cannot find what you need - a sofa of a strictly defined size and height. But you should not worry - you always have the option to order furniture of unusual sizes.
Almost any factory can offer a non-standard version of the sofa (since an unusual sofa is an elongated version of the standard one, manufacturers of the standard also have modifications of this standard), but this usually costs 15-20% more, and the production time increases.
How to choose?
As we already know, modern furniture is mainly produced with standard sizes, therefore, it is intended for people who have average weight and height. However, when a person has a high or, conversely, low growth, then for him ordinary modifications become uncomfortable.
Growth, as a rule, is taken into account when it is supposed to use a sofa-book not only as a place for sitting and relaxing, but also for regular and healthy sleep. In this case, any centimeter becomes significant.
For people with small stature, the size of the place to sleep can be even 1300 millimeters, but this, for example, is relevant for children. Often purchased designs with an indicator of 1700 millimeters.
When people with high growth intend to use the design, then the length of the place for sleeping from 1900 to 2000 millimeters is selected for them.
If the height is 2 meters, then only a sofa book with a berth size of 2100 millimeters is suitable. For people even taller, it is required to order modifications, the size of which reaches up to 3000 millimeters.
Most often, other parameters are considered not so important for any growth of a person, therefore A sofa with a depth of 80 centimeters is especially often chosen.
The choice should be motivated and thoughtful, moreover, the length of 1,900 millimeters is considered an average indicator for people of different stature, but the indicator of 2,000 millimeters is more convenient. There are specific standards by which the depth of the sofa should be 450-600 millimeters for ordinary versions, 500 millimeters for a folding model. The size of the place for sleeping should be at least 1860 millimeters, and in width - 700 millimeters. A width of 650 millimeters is possible exclusively for samples not designed for daily sleep, but only as a guest version.

- Decide on the appointment - the sofa-book can be used for sleeping with the transformation mechanism or only as a seat without a mechanism.This affects its dimensions, and this factor must be taken into account when choosing.
- Calculate the number of peoplewho will use the sofa both disassembled and assembled.
