The main feature of an orthopedic mattress for a sofa is a modified design of the frame. When assembling it, manufacturers use special wooden slats. Elements are elastic curved slats made of wear-resistant steamed wood.

In most apartments and houses, the sofa serves not only as an extra bed, but also as a relaxation area for receiving guests or gathering family members. Properly selected design of the sofa does not occupy excess free space in the room, but can accommodate up to 10 people. Furniture of this type is classified primarily by the form of construction, there are 3 types of models.

• Direct sofa. It is considered a budget option, most often installed in small apartments, in kitchens, in small workrooms. During the day, the collapsible design plays the role of a small sofa for seating, and at night it transforms into a full double bed. Custom wide models can accommodate 3 or more people.

• Corner sofa. Great for medium and large rooms, as it allows you to zone the space of the room. When unfolded, it forms a more comfortable berth than in direct models. The angular and main parts can be either bonded to each other, or collapsible - it depends on the particular product.

• Modular sofa. The most mobile and convenient type of sofa with orthopedic mattress. The furniture consists of several modules that can be built in various variations: a rectangle, an angle, in the shape of the letter P. Individual parts are also used as independent elements, for example, as an additional chair in the next room.

• A separate place is occupied by original designer designs made according to individual sketches and drawings. In this niche, modular models or built-in sofas are mainly common, but slightly converted standard products are often found. For example, a corner sofa, in which, if necessary, the main part is disconnected from the corner and transformed into a double place. Transformation mechanisms can be “click-gag” or “book”.

The first thing to consider when choosing is the placement of the sofa. Do not forget that if the furniture is planned to be used daily as a sleeping place or a place for a wellness vacation, then she will need enough space in the room. If possible, it is better to reduce the size or abandon other secondary furniture, for example, chairs, bedside tables.

Choosing a sofa with an orthopedic mattress, the estimated number of people who will sleep on it should be taken into account. This will determine the location and number of orthopedic structures, as well as the total cost of furniture. As a rule, it is half a special mattress.For daily use of the sofa by one person, it is enough to include an orthopedic mattress only in the furniture seat, and the backrest should be made of standard inexpensive filler.

A sofa with an orthopedic mattress is comfortable in small apartments, where there is no separate bedroom. After transformation, the structures can accommodate up to 5 people, while ensuring a complete healthy rest due to the orthopedic mattress and sufficient free space to take a comfortable horizontal position.
