Swivel sofas: varieties, pros and cons

During the arrangement of small-sized apartments, the organization of a berth is considered a frequent problem. Due to the lack of square meters, it is not possible to use ordinary beds. To solve this, it is enough to purchase a sofa bed with a swivel mechanism, which will serve as an interior decoration during the day, and at night will turn into a comfortable bed.

Sofas with a swivel mechanism are not much different from standard models, the only difference is the length of the mattresses, which is different for conventional designs, but the same for these. The swivel mechanism with which the furniture is equipped is characterized by a special principle of operation, reminiscent of scissors. With the help of such sofas you can quickly arrange a berth, it will take a matter of seconds. The moving part of the structure is shifted 90 degrees to the fixed and fixed, forming a perfectly flat surface without drops and bumps. In addition, manufacturers complement sofas with capacious drawers for storing linen, in the unfolded state of the furniture sections can take the form of cabinets.

In corner models, after turning one of the parts of the mattress (right or left), both halves are fixed with a special hook. Unlike direct sofas, corner ones are complemented by large drawers for storing not only bedding, but also pillows and blankets.

To date, the furniture market is represented by a huge range of upholstered furniture, but sofas with a swivel mechanism are especially popular. The reason for this is their advantage.

As for the shortcomings, they are also available:

• It is difficult to find a corner model with a folding “scissors” system for sale. Typically, sofas of this kind are made to order, indicating individual sizes and designs.
• High price. You have to pay a lot for high quality and reliability in use.

In order for the piece of upholstered furniture to last a long time and become the main touch of the interior, during its acquisition it is necessary to take into account many nuances. Swivel sofas are no exception. Experts recommend paying attention to important parameters.

• Trademark. Often you have to overpay for products of a well-known brand around the world, but the quality guarantee is quite high. You can’t save on the purchase of furniture, since choosing cheap models from little-known brands, you can encounter various kinds of breakdowns in the future.
• Quality. When buying a sofa, you should carefully examine all the joints and seams on the upholstery. They must be even. In addition, you need to ask the seller to fold out and fold the sofa bed several times, and then try to do it yourself. The transformation of the structure should take place effortlessly, quickly and easily. When unfolded, a high-quality sofa turns into a perfectly flat bed and does not have dents or gaps between the joints of the horses.
• The presence of orthopedic properties. It is advisable for people with back diseases to purchase models with hard orthopedic mattresses. To determine the comfort of furniture, you need to lie on it for a bit.
• Design. Upholstered furniture should not only be comfortable and convenient for sleeping, but also ideally fit into the general interior of the room. Therefore, the color of the upholstery of the sofa must be selected for the decorative decoration of walls, ceiling and flooring.

When choosing the material from which the sofa is made, you need to take into account the features of the room where it is planned to be placed. For example, for children usually get furniture made from natural raw materials. The fabric should be moisture resistant and easy to clean. For living rooms, it is best to prefer materials with high wear resistance. You can choose any fabric as upholstery, as for the leather, it is not the best option, because the sofa acts as a berth.

Since the sofa will occupy the main place in the interior of the room and be on the background of the walls, it should be in harmony with decorative decoration and other objects. Designers also recommend paying attention to the color of the curtains. Today on sale there are both monophonic models, presented in neutral shades (beige, gray, white, brown, black), and with a pattern.
