Since the ottoman is equipped with simple transforming mechanisms most often, it is quite reliable and rarely breaks.

A sliding ottoman often has direct execution. This option is convenient and functional, which is noted even by picky consumers.

Both children and adults may like the transformer ottoman, which is appreciated for coziness and comfort. Such solutions are as compact as possible. Importantly, they can even fit into a solid office or home office, if necessary. Transforming sofas:

• allow rational use of space;
• provide the formation of stylistic accents;
• give the opportunity to change the appearance of the room with a few movements.

The model, which is displayed in length, will take up very little space in the room. Such a solution harmoniously fits into any interior. There are a lot of models of this kind, and sometimes because of this, choosing the right one is not so simple. Some modifications are laid out to the side. In this case, after shifting the seat to the side, the linen container opens.

This option may even be suitable for use in the kitchen. Models without armrests deserve attention. Such ottomans look bright and unusual in any interior. The removal of “barriers”, however, makes landing on the edge difficult during the day. However, for a night's sleep it is rather a plus.

And the opportunity to plant several people at once will please buyers. The effect of cluttering the room, characteristic of a large sofa of a normal form, disappears. Note: many models without armrests are angled.

An ottoman can have various transformation mechanisms. One commonly used is "French clamshell." It has a sturdy frame. Transforming the product is very simple. The cost of such a design is low.

The scheme is also popular. "dolphin". This design is highly reliable. The name of the mechanism is given for a special way folding parts. Their trajectory resembles a dolphin sinking into waves after a jump. The service life of "dolphins" is very long.

The system is also in demand. "accordion". This name is also given by association, now with the "bellows" of the same musical instrument. The berth is very wide and is located high above the floor. However, the accordion scheme eliminates the use of a linen box. In addition, serious weight restrictions appear.

The first step when choosing an ottoman is the right choice of the place where it will be purchased. Preference should be given to large stores (preferably direct representative offices of manufacturers) or reputable sites. It is definitely worth studying reviews about specific brands and models.

Almost all folding ottomans are now equipped with spring blocks, rather than polyurethane foam filler. Springless models are significantly cheaper. However, their life is also too short. When you need to secure an extra bed, it is very good if pillows are included in the package. The reliability of structural materials also plays a very important role.

Another thing to consider:

• workmanship of hidden parts;
• quality of fasteners;
• strength and serviceability of upholstery fabric;
• the style of the room;
• the illumination of the room (otherwise it is impossible to choose the right color and its saturation).

This may look like an attractive bed (or rather, an ottoman). The unusual geometric shape of this product immediately attracts attention. Separate color inserts harmoniously combine with the carpet. A bright picture and a curtain of juicy coloring add real intrigue to the interior! At the same time, a very bright floor is a favorable general background.

But this is another attractive folding ottoman. A double back with a high back only adds charm and external charm to the room. The color combination with the carpet and the floor is calm, which fits into the classic interior. In general, a very bright environment is beneficial to the room. Decorative items are also visually combined with a sofa.
