Fold-out and roll-out sofas are a convenient solution for creating extra beds in the house. In the article we will talk about the features and nuances of the choice of withdrawable models without armrests.
Features, advantages and disadvantages
The method of unfolding the sofa by rolling out is called the "dolphin", since the extra bed is rolled out from under the main one and rises with the help of a special simple mechanism, as if it emerges to the same level with it. With the high-quality manufacturing of all parts of the mechanism, when all the rollers and wheels move freely, there are no gaps and so-called barbs, even a child can cope with this method.
Upholstered furniture of this type can be with or without armrests. Roll-out sofas without armrests are even more convenient, as more freedom is provided for the arrangement of furniture in the room, as well as during its operation. The advantages of such upholstered furniture include the following points:
- when unfolding there is no need to move the sofa from its place;
- the mechanism is easy to use;
- when folded, the sofa is compact, does not take up much space in the room;
- despite the daily folding-unfolding, high-quality furniture will last a long and reliable time;
- roll-out principle of action can be used in different versions of models - both in direct and in corner sofas;
- when unfolded, an even, spacious berth is obtained.
The disadvantages include the fact that if there is a carpet on the floor, the movement of the wheels will be difficult. Or, for example, there is a fear that the wheels will spoil the flooring. It is possible that a structure made entirely of metal will be too heavy to lift. therefore when buying a sofa, you need to pay special attention to the quality of manufacture of parts, wheels, as well as the material of construction.
Dimensions
Currently, in the general furniture market you can find sofas of absolutely any size. Selection is also increasing the ability to order furniture according to your individual parameters. Depending on which room the furniture will be in, in the living room, in the nursery or in the kitchen, as well as how many people a sleeping place is calculated for, what area of the room can be allocated to the unfolded sofa - all these factors are taken into account when buying or ordering upholstered furniture.
Suppose that the width of the direct roll-out sofa in the assembled form is 160 cm, the depth of the seat is 90 cm, which means that to put it into a double bed, it is necessary that the extendable part should also be about 90 cm. That is, depending on how many seats are needed, sofas can be 160, 140 and 120 cm wide. In the latter case, the place is designed for one teenager or child or a not very large adult.
Provided that the roll-out sofa is executed in an angular version, there is the possibility of a more spacious berth, and in most cases there is an additional place for storing bedding, which is impossible in direct sofas.
Models
Models of roll-out sofas without armrests come in two types: straight and corner. Straight lines take up less space, which is suitable for small rooms, not very spacious kitchens, as well as for children's rooms. In the living rooms, you can place quite large corner sofasadditionally equipped with drawers for storing linen, or with an ottoman.
Basically, these are designs with a forward sliding additional sleeping part of the system "dolphin"that was already mentioned.
There is also an option for a sofa bed, which is laid out forward in the form of a clamshell. This mechanism is called Sedaflex it is also called the "American clamshell."
This option is also very convenient for small apartments, since a rather large spacious bed is obtained from a small sofa.
Selection tips
When choosing a sofa you must first decide for what purpose it is needed. In the nursery, you need a small or, possibly, double option. Most likely, it will be used daily as a bed. And therefore, it is desirable that the place was made of spring blocks or an orthopedic mattress. In the living room you can place a more spacious corner option with a box for linen.
If it will also be often used as a sleeping place, then it is better to choose a better mechanism and structural details, preferably a metal frame, as well as a denser upholstery material. Eco-leather upholstery is good for sofas located in the kitchen.
