Sofas with a spring block: features, types and selection

In stores, you can often find sofas with a spring block. It is fundamentally impossible to equate them with models similar in name that were produced several decades ago - since then a lot has been done. Attention should be paid to the features and types of spring furniture, it is time to figure out how to make the right choice.

Sofas with a spring block can have quite a different design. But in any case, they are better than springless and foam versions already in that they serve for a long time. True, we are talking only about situations where all parts are made soundly and have no flaws. Build quality is also critical. However, these points are no less relevant for springless structures.

But the fact that the product looks impressive and solidly is no less important. On flat surfaces of a spring sofa, different parts of the body do not sag. The design is designed for significant loads.

Another of the advantages can be noted:

• decent ventilation of the internal volume;
• excellent moisture exchange;
• subjective convenience;
• adaptation to the shape of the user's body;
• positive effect for bone tissue;
• increased resistance to deformation.

Much depends, of course, on what type of spring sofa is used. Direct designs can have a variety of dimensions.They allow you to maximize the use of space.

Many direct sofas are equipped with folding mechanisms. This further simplifies everyday life and allows you to save on buying a separate bed. But what mechanism is used is of great importance. Its features can both help and hinder people.

If purchased corner sofa, then usually its seats are stiffer than the direct counterpart.

However, much already depends on the specific performance. A number of corner models are laid out and can be used as a sleeping area. But due to specific features, they will still take up a lot of space. Transportation and storage of corner furniture is difficult. It is desirable to put it in a suitable corner of the room.

Corner sofas can be a great sleeping area for young children. Particularly well suited models in which the angle is separated from the main body. In this case, separate sleeping places are formed. A railing can be attached to the corner, providing reliable protection.

So, folding and non-folding sofas sometimes come with a box for linen. This is a very convenient addition - provided that its size meets the needs of consumers. Some modifications can even be equipped with built-in bars and shelves. The difference is manifested both in the composition of the materials used and in the color of the sofa.

Some models still use dependent holders. There are many facts that indicate that this decision is outdated. However, the convenience and relatively low price justify many of its shortcomings. The springs are rigidly connected with a strong wire. The impact on one of them immediately captures all the other springs, which is not always convenient.

This type of dependent spring unit is the most popular. It is often found in the economy segment. The carefully thought-out design is relatively solid.

Similar spring blocks are made by forming twists with two cones. All parts are made of high carbon elite steel. It is quite strong and flexible at the same time. After the applied load, the metal easily returns to its original position. Under the springs is a special platform made of durable sheet materials - plywood, MDF, particle board.

Thanks to this design, the spring blocks are stiffer. Effective protection from subsidence and deformation of the lower part will also not be superfluous. The Bonnel is also found on corner sofas. But there they usually still use polyurethane foam boxes on the sides. Following them, foam rubber, felt, batting and front facing material are layered in layers.

Such springs in modern sofas are much more common. This decision is welcomed by specialists in the field of orthopedics. The reviews confirm that it is better to sleep on a couch with independent spring elements, it is easier to regain strength even with a short rest, only vivacity and freshness are felt, not overshadowed by any negative sensations.

Professionals, preparing a new design of a sofa with independent springs, should immediately decide:

• how many such springs will be needed;
• what is the required diameter of the twist;
• how many turns you need to make;
• what is the optimal size of the spring pack.

In some cases, the so-called biconical spring. Such designs can hardly be called a novelty - they have been used since the beginning of the twentieth century.But you always need to calculate how many reference points you need to put on one square meter. In serial products, springs with a diameter of 0.02-0.06 m are most often used. A good support block contains a minimum of 435 springs.

The service life of a decent modern Bonnel block reaches 10 years, after which the busiest sites will quickly collapse.

Covers at the factory design and make them fully reproduce the features of spring blocks. If this rule is not respected, the product will quickly fail. All springs and fabric pockets are carefully adjusted to each other. Only after this twist is placed in designated areas.

This is also a traditional mechanism, but of a relatively simplified form. All springs are fixed with a specially provided frame. According to engineers, shared by many consumers, the optimum ratio of rigidity and reliability is guaranteed. A pronounced repulsive effect is also noted. Above the "snake" is soft material.

Often, foam rubber and felt are used for this purpose. "Snake" refers to the budget class. However, such spring blocks are gradually phased out.

It makes sense to consider not all possible varieties, but only high-quality, well-established devices. The traditional solution is "book", captivating with its simplicity and reliability. The sitting part is lifted, achieving a click. When it is then lowered, the back also lowers.

Features of such a system:

• placement of the sleeping area along the wall;
• optimum suitability for small rooms;
• the need to move the sofa before folding;
• quite significant required space.

A nice alternative is "American clamshell", which has another name "sedaflex". The sleeping area is divided into a couple of sections. After removing the pillows, the sitting part is pulled up and toward itself. Sections should be developed up to their installation on supports.

Deserves attention and Tick-tock. It is very simple to use such sofas. After pulling the seat up and forward, lower the backrest to the vacated seat. It’s not even necessary to act with both hands. The highest load is the same as for sedaflex furniture.

However, not only retractable, but also retractable mechanisms can be used. Among them, deserves special attention Eurobook, that is, an improved ordinary “book”. All parts for normal operation are sure to adjoin each other as tightly as possible. The design is equipped with a capacious linen box.

Widespread and Dolphins. They are appreciated for the ease of the layout process. It is only necessary to understand that the maximum permissible load is not more than 200 kg. In addition, after the layout, the seat and the roll-out section have a small joint.

"Conrad", aka "telescope", withstand only 180 kg. Similar sofas consist of 3 sections. They are laid out, pulling the bottom block. Following him, the rest of the rush.

Corner sofas with a spring unit usually have an angle of 1.3-1.5 m in length. The sleeper width of typical models is 1.4-2 m. The products purchased to order usually have larger and smaller sizes. The width of the main part of the sofa is usually 0.7-0.9 m.

In another embodiment, when you plan to use a sofa for sleeping, you need to choose models with a length of 170 cm. But it is better to focus on products from 180 cm or even a little more. A double sofa bed can be folded a little less. This does not prevent you from using it fully. For a large family or people who often invite guests, you need to choose sofas 220 cm long or a little larger.

There are very long models designed for 4-7 seats. In width they do not differ from the standard versions. The height of the backrest is selected in accordance with the growth of users. Children's modifications are not too high - you can even choose options below 0.6 m. The height of an adult modular sofa is from 0.7 m, monolithic models are larger.

Is popular corner sofa "Malta 108"related to the type of "eurobook". He is upholstered in velor. The frame is made of chipboard or special furniture timber. Provides for the presence of Bonnel spring blocks of moderate stiffness. The capacity of the linen box is quite large.

Good and the Eurobook Montreal models. The straight design is matted and designed for 3 seats. It is made in a modern style. The size of the berth is 1.4x1.9 m.

But it is equally important to consider the main brands of sofa manufacturers. Firm "Pinskdrev" delivers direct and angular models designed for 2 - 3 seats. Consumers can choose leather or fabric upholstered versions to taste.

In this regard, much better lagoon products. By external characteristics, they are also not bad. Transforming modifications do not squeak when used.

High quality lovers can pay attention to products Shatura Furniture company. This company is very popular throughout Russia. The high cost of the models is largely justified by their diversity. The goods themselves are almost not satisfactory.

You can also pay attention to the sofas:

• Rival
• Anderssen;
• Kinway;
• Songdream;
• Century Furniture.

A listing of a number of firms could have been carried out for a long time. But consumers are much more important to know what to prefer for daily use. Just in case, it is worth repeating again: for daytime, dependent spring blocks are not bad, but for sleep, independent execution is better. However, it will have to pay a higher price.

No matter how high-quality the sofa may be, it will wear out. And to replace the cover on a number of models will turn out only in the factory. This can be an unpleasant surprise if consumers do not specify such a point in advance. As for the anatomical fitness, it is provided only on sofas with independent spring blocks. And this is not at all: one should be interested in quality and safety certificates, and even better, consult with doctors.

Paradoxically, many buyers measure a place to install furniture only when problems arise with it. It is very important to measure everything in advance and still make sure that full passes remain. Design moments should be taken into account: sometimes bulky furniture in a small room looks like an alien monster. Upholstery should be evaluated not so much by aesthetic properties (although they are important), but by practical ones: for example, resistance to moisture is very important in the kitchen.

You don’t need to save too much. But buying pathos of super-expensive sofas is frankly impractical. Better to stick to the middle ground.

Straight sofa Dallas 018 with independent spring unit praised for compactness. Moreover, even after folding it is easy to rest on it. The quality of sewing upholstery is up to standard.
