Mechanisms for transforming sofas - briefly about each

First, let's define what a sofa transformation mechanism is. Another name is often used - the sofa folding mechanism. Professionals prefer the concept of transformation, so I will use it further.

Under these names lies an element that transforms the sofa into various forms and positions. For example, a sofa from a sitting position turns into a sofa bed or into a sofa for "relaxation" with a partially reclined back. Another example of transformation is changing the shape of a sofa. For example, a corner sofa can be turned into a straight sofa or vice versa.

Why is it important to choose the right sofa transformation mechanism?

• The mechanism is one of the main ones, therefore the overall service life of the transformer sofa also depends on its reliability.
• The mechanism affects the convenience and ease of converting the sofa into various positions.
• Depending on the transformation mechanism, different free spaces in the room will be required to bring the sofa into the desired positions.
• Depends on the type of transformation mechanism and . After all, it is under it that the mechanism is hidden from our eyes.

Sofas without transformation mechanisms

Such sofas, by definition, do not contain transformational elements and are not able to unfold. Sofas without mechanisms are used to create seating for two or more people. It is possible to offer such an option for small size. Less often they can be found as a sofa for sleeping. Although for people without excess weight the use of a sofa in this capacity is quite acceptable.

Non-folding sofas can be used as separate sofa modules. By applying several similar modules, especially different size, you can change the shape of the sofa made up of modules.

Monolithic sofa fit for hallway, for the living room and decorate the kitchen or dining room. Often this type of sofa can be found in public places.

Pros: there is no mechanism, which means there is nothing to break. The service life of monolithic sofas is longer than the service life of folding sofas.

Minuses: no mechanism, no possibility of transforming the sofa. Monolithic sofas are not suitable for organizing sleeping places, especially if you need to put two or more people.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Book"

Sofa "Book" is laid out in two positions: a sitting sofa and a sofa for sleeping.

The sofa is converted into a sleeping position by tilting the back of the sofa back.

During unfolding, you don’t have to move the sofa away from the wall, but keep in mind that the design of the sofa requires free space between the wall and the back of the sofa.

The folding parts of the sofa are wooden or metal frames with spring blocks attached to them. In addition to the spring blocks, another filler can be used - foam rubber or latex. A sofa with a spring block is preferable, as it has best performance service life and comfort.

Sofa "Book" often contains a section for bedding inside

Advantages: durable, reliable, time-tested mechanism. Suitable for frequent use and organizing a bed.

Flaws: the sofa can only be unfolded in two positions - sitting and lying down. During transformation, in the part where the folding parts of the sofa are connected, a bulge or indentation may appear, which will negatively affect the comfort of sleep. The “book” cannot be placed tightly against the wall, since the unfolding mechanism requires free space between the wall and the back.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Tango"

While preparing this article, I came across the fact that manufacturers invent their own names for mechanisms of the same type in terms of properties. Because of this, confusion occurs. So is the case with the Tango mechanism.

The click-clack (clack) mechanism has similar properties. In fact, both mechanisms are similar to the "Books" already described above.

The main difference from the "Book" consists in the possibility of "Tango" ("Click-clack (clack)") to take intermediate positions of the back of the sofa when unfolding.

The back, in addition to full horizontal unfolding, can be in a reclining, half-sitting position. This feature creates additional convenience for relaxation.

Sofas "Tango" have a section for storing the bed

Advantages: the mechanism allows you to fix the back of the sofa in several positions, sofas "Tango" are small in size, when unfolded into a plane, the sofa creates a surface without bumps and bumps.

Flaws: there is no way to put the sofa tightly against the wall; when transforming the back, you need a place for unfolding.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Eurobook"

The work of the mechanism: the seat of the sofa is pushed forward on roll-out rollers, a niche is formed in shape and size identical to the back cushions of the sofa. Pillows fit into a niche, forming as a result flat surface sleeping place.

Advantages: ease of converting the sofa into a bed, the simplicity of the mechanism itself - read its high reliability, large and even place to sleep, large niches inside the sofa for storage and bed.
Flaws because of the wide seats, it is not convenient to sit on the sofa leaning against its back, especially for people with short stature.

Sofa transformation mechanism "Pantograph" ("Tick-tock", "Puma", "Walking Eurobook")

With the "Pantograph" the same story as with the "Tango" sofas. Apparently, for the sake of a red word, sellers and manufacturers have come up with a number of bright names for essentially the same mechanism. So, what else did I manage to meet under the mask of "Pantograph" - "Tick-tock", "Puma" and even "Walking Eurobook". In order not to get confused, I will continue to call the mechanism "Pantograph" (sounds somehow solid and mysterious))) .

"Pantograph" originated as a variant of the "Eurobook" mechanism. The difference is that there are no roll-out rollers in the "pantograph". Otherwise, it has parameters similar to the "Eurobook". Equipped with internal storage niches, it has a large and even bed.

The principle of operation of the mechanism: For unfolding, it is enough to pull up the sofa seat by holding its edge in the middle. Often sofas are equipped with loops - handles for easy unfolding. By pulling up the seat of the sofa, you activate its mechanism, which pushes the seat up and forward and at the same time opens the legs of the support and stands on them. The pillow back is placed in the formed niche. The result is a flat, without visible joints, a place for two people to sleep.

Advantages: sofas with "Pantograph" have a comfortable place to sleep. The mechanism is easily laid out. Such a sofa will not spoil your flooring, because when unfolding, parts of the sofa do not ride on the floor.

Flaws: the mechanism is expensive because of this, and the cost of the sofa becomes higher. Due to the wide seat, sitting on the sofa is not comfortable, you need to use additional pillows

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "French folding bed"

The principle of the mechanism: The sleeping surface of the sofa consists of three sections. You need to pull the edge of the seat and stretch them forward. Sections will open and stand on legs - supports. When folding, the sections hide inside the sofa body.

Sofas of this series are not suitable for frequent use because the mechanism is rather weak to wear.

These sofas do not have a place to store the bed - that's all inner space sofa is occupied by a folded bed.

When assembled, the "French folding bed" is small in size, but for unfolding it will require free space (at least 1.50 meters) in front of the front of the sofa

Advantages: in the assembled state it has small dimensions.

Flaws: uncomfortable sleeping surface, no storage space for the bed, short term service (about five years)

Conclusion: you can use the "French folding bed" to organize seating and for rare use as a bed - the option of unexpected guests lingering and staying (they won't sleep on such a sofa for a long time and will soon run away))).

Sofa transformation mechanism American folding bed (Sedaflex, Sedaflex)

The principle of the mechanism: The place to sleep has three parts-sections. You need to pull the seat of the sofa, as a result of which the sections of the bed will open and stand on the supports. Unfolding goes in two stages - first one section will open, and then the next one.

In fact, this mechanism is identical to the "French Clamshell" mechanism.

Reliability is its main difference..

The frame of the sofa and the mechanism itself are made of wear-resistant materials. This makes it possible to regularly use "Sedaflex" as a transformable sleeping bed.

Advantages: easy to operate, has good performance of reliability and durability.

Flaws: there is no place for linen, the surface of the bed has seams.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Italian folding bed

This transformation mechanism belongs to the double folding mechanisms as well as the American clamshell. The double folding mechanism is a mechanism that is brought into working position in two stages.

The principle of operation of the mechanism

For unfolding Italian folding bed from the sofa to the bed you need to pull on yourself for upper part sofa backs (usually the back has a special loop for this purpose).

• At the first step of unfolding the back of the sofa, together with the pillows, leans forward and then lies down and rests on the seat of the sofa.
• At the second stage inner part the design of the sofa makes a revolution around its axis, this is reminiscent of the unwinding of a mattress rolled into a roll. After this turn, the support legs open, which were hidden before, were hidden and folded inside the structure and the formed sleeping place of the sofa rests on them.

Due to the reinforced springs, the mechanism can be folded and unfolded without significant effort.

Advantages of the Italian folding bed: this mechanism is the most reliable and durable of the clamshells, this became possible thanks to the use of reinforced metal pipes in the frame of the mechanism, the sofa in the folded state has a compact size, when unfolding there is no need to remove the pillows from the seat of the sofa, Italian folding beds, among other folding beds, have the thickest and most comfortable mattress for sleeping, in addition, lamellas and belts are used in the frame, which create an orthopedic effect.

Flaws lack of storage space for linen, high price

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Accordion"

The principle of operation of the mechanism: "Accordion" got its name for its similarity with the principle of operation of accordion bellows (stretch back and forth). The sleeping space of the sofa also stretches forward, as it were, while bringing the sofa to the sleeping position, and rests on the extended supports. After the transformation, we have an even, although with minor seams a spacious place to relax and sleep.

The convenience of the sofa "Accordion" in its compact size when folded. But we must not forget that to unfold the sofa you will need free space in front of its front part (you need at least 1.50 meters)

Models "Accordion" are often equipped with an additional cabinet for storing bedding. Such a cabinet is located near the back of the sofa.

There is no storage space inside the sofa itself, the space is occupied by a folded sofa.

Advantages: Reliable and load-resistant mechanism that increases the life of the sofa. Supplied with additional cabinets for storage. Ease of bringing the sofa to the sleeping position.

Flaws: the sofa, when brought into the sleeping position, rides on the floor, so it can damage the flooring.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Spartacus"

The principle of the mechanism: Triple folding mechanism. It is necessary to pull the seat of the sofa and it will decompose in three steps while standing on extended legs.

The design of the mechanism was developed by Italian engineers. This mechanism belongs to the metal-frame mechanism. The frame is made from profile pipes on which a dense mesh made of metal rods 4 mm thick is mounted. The frame consists of three sections. The mesh creates a good orthopedic effect. On top of the mesh is a polyurethane foam mattress. It is comfortable to sleep on such sofas. The design of the mechanism provides a large bed in length, which is especially important for tall people. The mechanism is very reliable because it does not contain wooden and plastic parts.

Advantages: reliability and durability, easy to unfold, can be used daily, flat and large bed
Flaws: there is no place to store bedding, since the mechanism occupies the entire interior space of the sofa when assembled, you need to remove the sofa cushions before unfolding.

Sofa with unfolding on the floor

The principle of operation of the mechanism The sleeping place consists of two sections. When folded, the sections are hidden inside the sofa body. To unfold the sofa, you need to pull up on the inner edge of the sofa seat. Then, pull the sections forward towards you. The berth has no supports and unfolds directly on the floor.

It cannot be said that the sofa is comfortable for sleeping, since the joints of the sections are noticeable and the bed itself is located very low. That's why similar models can be used for occasional use as a bedroom. But for sitting it is quite an acceptable option.

Advantages: compact dimensions in the assembled state, the cheapest type of folding sofas.
Flaws: not comfortable to sleep, no storage space for bedding

The principle of the mechanism: The sleeping place consists of two segments. In the assembled state, the segments are in the sofa body. To unfold the sofa, you need to pull the bottom of the front. After that, it will roll forward into the working position. All that remains is to fold the pillow into the vacant seat. As a result of the transformation, comfortable spot for sleep.

Roll-out sofas are durable and reliable models. Well suited for frequent use. Contain internal space for storage of bed linen.

Advantages: the most reliable, have a comfortable place to sleep and compact dimensions when assembled.

Flaws: roll-out sofa rollers can ruin the flooring when unfolding, the bed has a low height

The folding mechanism of the sofa "Konrad" ("Telescope")

The principle of operation of the mechanism: "Konrad" consists of three sections. To unfold the sofa, you need to pull the lower part of the sofa from the front. In this case, the sections roll out one after the other. Because of this feature, the mechanism was nicknamed the "Telescope". Sections roll out and stand on supports.

"Conrad" is a subspecies of a roll-out sofa. The main difference is the large height of the bed.

Advantages: reliable mechanism suitable for daily use, sofas have a compact volume, equipped with a box for linen, comfortable for sleeping

Flaws: mechanism and sofa are heavy

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Dolphin"

The principle of the mechanism: To unfold the sofa, pull the front of the sofa from below. As a result of this, a section hidden inside the sofa body will roll out onto you. Inside the roll-out section there is a pillow with a strap. You need to grab the strap to pull the pillow up. She will "emerge" and stand on the same level with the cushion-seat of the sofa. Voila, the sleeping place is ready.

The Dolphin mechanism is mainly used in the construction of corner sofas. Places for storing the bed are not located in the roll-out part of the corner sofa. The mechanism exerts a significant load on the sofa body, so when buying, pay attention to the material of the body. Knots are not allowed if wood is used.

Advantages: ease of unfolding, the optimal height of the bed.

Flaws: not durable.

The mechanism of transformation of the sofa "Elf"

The principle of the mechanism: The mechanism unfolds easily. Armrests are bred on the sides and a berth is formed.

"Elf" refers to metal-frame mechanisms. The frame is made of metal profiled pipes. Wooden slats. Armrests are adjustable in height and have several positions. This feature allows you to create the most comfortable position of the armrests for the reclining position.

Advantages: compact model of sofas, a good flat bed, slats give a good orthopedic effect, adjustable armrests, you can create a sofa for yourself.

Flaws: you can not put the sofa close to the wall, the bed is in the same place as the seat.

Sofa transformation mechanism "Recliner"

"Recliner" got its name from the English word recline - reclining or leaning back

The principle of the mechanism: The sofa transformation is controlled by complex mechanisms hidden in the sofa body. With their help, you can adjust the inclination of the back of the sofa and extend the footrest to a predetermined distance and at a certain angle.

Some models have vibration massagers built into the sofa cushions. Particularly advanced sofas have built-in electric motors that control the transformation of the sofa using the remote control remote control.

There are models with "memory" that can adjust and remember the settings of the mechanism made directly under your body.

Advantages: very easy to manage, have fine settings - you can create a sofa for yourself.

Flaws: high price, used only as a place to relax, as there is no place to sleep

General conclusions

• Pay close attention to the mechanism when buying a sofa. The ease of use and life of the sofa will depend on choosing the right mechanism.
• Match your needs with its capabilities. How often will you lay out the sofa, what space do you have allocated for installing the sofa, especially when unfolded.
• Do not take a sofa with a obviously inappropriate mechanism just because the color is cool or because the neighbors have one. Choose individually for your needs.

Sofa transformation mechanisms - video review

For greater clarity, I also want to offer a video plot that describes the mechanisms of sofas. True, they have already been discussed above. But, as they taught at school - "Repetition is the mother of learning)))", and this video will facilitate and consolidate your understanding of the topic.

Now you know everything you need to make an informed choice about the mechanisms for transforming sofas. Hope it was helpful.

Buying a sofa is a very responsible process, because such furniture is bought for more than one year. The choice must be made with great care in order to new sofa was convenient for all family members, successfully harmonized with the interior and pleased with its functionality for a long time.

First of all, the sofa is comfortable area rest after a hard day, a place for friendly gatherings and watching movies. Often it is also used as a place to sleep. When buying, we usually pay attention to appearance, but it will be much more important to make sure of the quality of the material and check the mechanisms for unfolding sofas.

Before going on a hike furniture stores When looking for a sofa, give answers to the following questions:

1. How much space do you intend to allocate for the sofa when folded and unfolded?
2. How often are you going to lay out the sofa?
3. In what mode will the sofa sleeper function: daily or as a guest option?
4. What load should the sofa withstand?
5. Do you need a special place to store clothes?
6. How much are you willing to spend on a purchase? Which model should I pay attention to: a budget option or a sofa with a more complex mechanism and reliable details?

Types of mechanisms, pros and cons

Types of sofas by folding mechanism:

• retractable, or withdrawable (on rollers): withdrawable, dolphin, eurobook, conrad, pantograph;
• folding: tango, book, elf;
• deployable: accordion, French cot, American cot, Spartak.

Let's consider in more detail each of the options.

Book

Having such a mechanism for transforming sofas, a piece of furniture is converted into 2 positions: a seated version and a sofa for sleeping. To turn the sofa into a sleeping place, its back is simply folded back. It will not have to be moved away from the wall during this process, since during installation it will be necessary to take into account that the design of the furniture requires a small gap between the wall and the back.

The parts of the sofa with the "book" mechanism are two metal or wooden frame with fixed or other soft filler. At the bottom, there is often a compartment for storing clothes.

Pros:

• strength;
• reliability;
• ease of use;
• can be used frequently without the risk of breakage and wear.

• has only two positions - lying and sitting;
• the inability to move the sofa tightly against the wall.

Tango

"Tango" is the prototype of a sofa folding system called "click-clack". Many manufacturers seek to simply surprise the buyer with a beautiful new term. In general, this system is very much like a classic "book". There is only one difference - when unfolding, such a sofa can also take intermediate positions, and not just “sitting-lying”. The backrest can be adjusted to a comfortable level. These sofas are equipped with a bed storage box.

• fixation of the back in several positions;
• compact size;
• when unfolded, the sofa creates a surface without bumps.

Minus - you can not attach the back tightly to the wall.

Eurobook

This folding mechanism classic sofas, as a "Eurobook", it is easy to identify by pushing the seat forward on roll-out rollers. In this case, a niche is formed in which a part of the sofa, which previously served as the back, fits.

• ease of converting the sofa into a bed;
• reliability of the mechanism;
• plenty of space to sleep;
• large niches for storage.

Minus — due to excessively large seats on the sofa, people with small stature and children will not feel comfortable, because they will not be able to lean on the back.

Dolphin

This is the most popular mechanism for transforming corner sofas. To unfold it, you need to pull the loops attached to the section under the seat. The movement should be up and towards you. The section will roll out and stand next to the seat, forming a large bed. The laundry box is located in the non-roll-out part of the seat.

Note: The dolphin mechanism exerts a heavy load on the sofa body, so you need to make sure that it is made of high-quality wood.

• comfortable bed;
• simplicity and ease of deployment.

Minus - not very long service life with the active use of the mechanism.

Pantograph

These types of folding sofas can often be found under the name "puma" or "tic-tac". This system arose as a variant of the Eurobook, only without roll-out rollers. Inside there is a spacious bed box.

To transform this sofa, you need to pull up the seat of the sofa, grabbing its edge in the middle. With this movement, you will activate the mechanism that pushes the seat up and forward and opens the legs of the support. In the resulting niche, lay the back-pillow.

• comfortable place to sleep;
• easy folding mechanism;
• does not spoil the floor covering with rollers.

Minuses:

• the mechanism is expensive;
• very wide seat.

The sleeping surface of such a sofa is represented by three sections. To straighten them into a plane, you just need to pull the edge of the seat. For frequent use as a bed, such furniture is not recommended, since these types of sofa folding mechanisms wear out very quickly.

Tip: For unfolding, you need to take care of the presence of a fairly large space.

Plus - when assembled, this sofa is very compact.

Minuses:

• the sleeping surface has irregularities;
• short service life.

Roll-out sofa

The bed has two segments that are hidden in the sofa body. To unfold, you need to pull the bottom part so that it rolls forward. After that, the pillow leans back into the vacated space.

• very durable and reliable mechanism;
• comfortable place to sleep;
• compact dimensions when assembled.

Minuses:

• roll-out rollers can scratch the flooring when unfolding;
• low bed.

Accordion

"Accordion" got its name for some resemblance to the eponymous musical instrument. The sleeping space of the sofa stretches in a peculiar way, moving forward at the moment of unfolding, and then rests on the extended mobile legs. When folded, such a sofa has compact dimensions, but it will take more to transform free space. The storage compartment is located in the back of the sofa.

• reliable and stable mechanism;
• long service life of the sofa;
• ease of transformation.

Minuses:

• there is no built-in place for linen;
• draw-out type of mechanism can cause scratches on the flooring.

Spartacus

To transform such a sofa into a comfortable place to sleep, you need to pull the seat so that it decomposes in three steps and stands on extended legs. This type of folding sofas was jointly developed by Russian and Italian craftsmen. Such furniture is very well suited for sleeping. The design of the mechanism provides a long berth. In fact, this is a more durable French clamshell, complemented by a welded metal grill.

• strength and durability of the mechanism;
• ease of use;
• as a bed can be used often;
• comfortable sleeping place.

Minuses:

• there is no place to store the bed;
• before unfolding the sofa, you need to remove it from it.

Note: There is also a mechanism for laying out Ifagrid sofas, which is similar to Spartak, but also has some differences.

Conrad or Telescope

To expand such a sofa, you need to pull on its lower part. The sections will roll out one after the other, like a telescope, and stand on the supports.

From classic roll-out sofas this type of furniture is different great height sleeping place.

• reliable mechanism;
• can be used daily;
• compact volume;
• there is a box for linen;
• sleep comfortably.

Minus - the sofa is very heavy due to the massive mechanism.

Sedaflex (American folding bed)

Such a sofa unfolds like a French folding bed, but unlike it, it has not a three-fold, but a two-fold system and a thicker mattress.

• very strong mechanism;
• compact;
• has a quality .

Minuses:

• no storage box.

Elf

This is a sofa swivel mechanism transformations. The armrests at the time of the transformation of the bed are bred to the sides, and a comfortable place to sleep is obtained. The armrests in this sofa can be adjusted in height and have several positions.

• compact model;
• comfortable bed;
• due to the use of lamellas, an orthopedic effect is obtained;
• Armrests can be adjusted to suit individual needs.

Minuses:

• the sofa cannot be leaned close to the wall;
• the bed is located in the same place as the seat.

The name of this type of mechanism comes from the English "recline" - to lean back. The transformation takes place thanks to complex mechanisms hiding in the depths of the sofa. With their help, you can adjust the inclination of the backrest and push the footrest to the desired position. In some models, there are also special pillows with vibration massage. Most expensive models equipped with an electric motor controlled by a remote control.

Pros:

• ease of management;
• you can adjust the sofa to the needs of your body;
• comfort in any position.

• very high cost;
• you can only sit, because there is no position for sleeping.

Sofa with unfolding on the floor

The bed has two sections. When folded, they hide inside the sofa body. To convert such a sofa, you need to pull up on the inner edge of the seat. Then make a soft jerk forward and on yourself. The sleeping place does not provide for any supports and is laid out directly on the floor.

• small dimensions when folded;
• the cheapest type of folding sofas.

• not a very comfortable bed;
• there is no area for storing bedding.

What to choose?

As a result, you can determine which of the sofa folding mechanisms has become the best in its category:

• eurobook - the most reliable mechanism;
• tango is the most comfortable to sit on;
• dolphin - the most spacious;
• pantograph, accordion and roll-out - the most comfortable for sleeping;
• tango, eurobook and roll-out - have special storage compartments;
• roll-out and elf - the most compact;
• The book is the most affordable.

When buying any sofa, be sure to inspect its folding mechanism, consult the seller on this matter, ask questions and demand answers to them. The service life of the sofa and the convenience of its use depend very much on the correct mechanism. If the sofa will rarely be laid out, then you should pay attention to compact models, but not intended for frequent transformation.
