Let's open the secret: there are no "bad" and "good" folding mechanisms. But there is a wrong approach to choosing a sofa for specific room. How to find "your" option and not make a mistake - we will help you figure it out in a short review.
picking up soft sofa according to the type of transformation, pay attention to the details: design features, ease and speed of unfolding, contact with the floor and the presence of a linen box. The purpose of the future sofa is also important - daily use or unfolding from time to time?
Book
A mechanism familiar to many since childhood. Sofa-books, proven over the years, are equipped with a spacious linen compartment under the seat and have attractive price due to the simplicity and unpretentiousness of the design.
How to decompose: the seat moves up until it clicks and then goes down. The back takes a horizontal position, forming flat surface for sleep and relaxation.
What is good: low price, quick unfolding method, capacious laundry box.
Things to remember:
click-clack
The modern mechanism for transforming sofas click klyak allows you to take not two positions that are familiar to us, but three - sitting, lying and reclining. This gives additional freedom of application and comfort in use. The “relax” or “reclining” position is great for evening relaxation after a hard day.
How to decompose: the seat lifts up until it clicks. The first click indicates that the click klyak sofa mechanism has moved the product to a reclining position. If it is necessary to expand the sofa to the state of a berth, then you need to continue to lower the seat until the second click.
What is good: a reliable steel frame, comfort in use, a capacious box for linen.
Things to remember: the distance from the back to the wall must be at least 10 cm, for unfolding it is necessary to make an effort.
Eurobook
Reliable and easy-to-use eurobook mechanism. Due to the absence of loops at the junction, the sleeping surface is smooth and comfortable. The bed is located along the sofa and does not take up much space when unfolded, which is ideal for the interior narrow spaces. Another plus: unlike classic sofas- "books", "eurobook" do not need to be moved away from the wall every time when unfolding - the design of the model is pushed forward.
How to decompose: Roll out the seat and lower the backrest - the place to rest is ready.
What is good: reliability and a capacious box for linen, there is no need to move the sofa every time when unfolding, suitable for narrow rooms.
Things to remember: models without wheels may scratch the floor.
Pantograph, aka "Tick-tock"
It has all the advantages of the Eurobook, and even more. Sofas with such a mechanism are not equipped with rollers and move apart without touching the floor - the seat seems to step forward, leaving the flooring intact and protecting it from damage.
How to decompose: pull the seat up and towards you and lower the backrest.
What is good: does not interact with the floor, equipped with a linen compartment, no need to move when unfolding.
Things to remember: unfolding requires more effort than in the "Eurobook".
Dolphin
As easily and spectacularly dolphins jump out of the water, the sofa with the “dolphin” mechanism unfolds with the same ease and speed. Actually, thanks to this similarity, the mechanism got its name.
Typically found in corner sofas. The bed frame is held by special brackets at the level of the main part of the sofa. Due to its compactness, this model will successfully fit into the interior. small room, and a capacious linen box under the corner part will help to hide home textiles and household trifles.
How to decompose: slide the frame out from under the seat and pull it up.
puma
Like a cat's tread, sofas with the "puma" mechanism are laid out as quietly and accurately as possible. No scratches from the legs or dented tracks from the wheels - even the most demanding flooring will not suffer during daily unfolding. When transforming, minimal effort is needed: pull the seat up a little, and then the mechanism will do all the work.
How to decompose: pull sleeping place behind the seat, and the part below will appear behind it.
What is good: noiselessness and respect for the floor covering, it is easy to unfold.
Things to remember: straight models do not have a laundry box. At corner models it is behind an ottoman.
Accordion
The mechanism "accordion" got its name due to the similarity of unfolding with the movement of the bellows of a musical instrument. The bed is flat and wide, without tangible joints. When unfolded, the sofa significantly eats up space in length, so choose this model only if square meters allow such scope for manipulation.
How to decompose: pull the loop and the seat will move forward, and the back will turn around and split into two parts.
What is good: ease of unfolding.
Things to remember: requires a lot of space for unfolding, so do not place a table or other furniture in front of the seat. The mechanism needs to be looked after and regularly lubricated.
Withdrawable
Roll-out sofas are durable and reliable models. Good for frequent use. Contain inner space for storage bedding. The sleeping place consists of two segments. In the assembled state, the segments are in the sofa body.
How to decompose: pull the lower part from the front, then it will roll forward to the working position. It remains only to fold the pillow into the vacant seat. As a result of the transformation, comfortable spot for sleep.
What is good: the most reliable, have a comfortable place to sleep and compact dimensions when assembled.
Things to remember: roll-out rollers of the sofa can spoil the flooring when unfolding, the bed has a low height
French cot (Mixotual)
French cot is a light and compact European guest solution. Due to the design features, the model unfolds much longer than the “cougar” or “eurobook”, it does not have a linen box, and also such a sofa is not suitable for daily unfolding. If you need an option for frequent use, look for a French cot model with a wooden frame instead of fabric in the supporting base - this option is more beneficial for the spine.
How to decompose: lift the top seat cushion and pull the legs forward - the sleeper, folded like an accordion, is hidden under the seat.
What is good: lightness and structural strength.
Things to remember: no box for linen, too soft bed (not recommended for daily sleep), sofas with a forward-folding mechanism do not always fit well into narrow spaces.
American folding bed (Sedaflex)
The American cot is often confused with the French one. The principle of operation of these mechanisms is really similar, but there are also fundamental differences. The Sedaflex transformation mechanism, as a rule, is equipped with a high-quality thick mattress (from 10 to 14 cm) and is decomposed into two, not three parts. Since the number of joints directly affects the level of comfort, it is safe to say that sleeping on a two-piece "American" will be much more comfortable than on a three-piece "French"
How to decompose: actuated manually, it is enough to pull a little up and towards you, unfolding the components of the bed
What is good: Sedaflex is comfortable due to the greater thickness of the mattress and belongs to folding mechanisms that are designed for daily use.
Things to remember: there is no box for linen, sofas with a forward-folding mechanism do not always fit well into narrow spaces.
