Sofas with the transformation mechanism "American folding bed"

The sofa can be used as a place for rest or as a sleeping place, you can take a free corner with them or combine all of the above. If the performance characteristics allow, many families have been using such furniture for decades.

There are two types of folding such furniture.

In the first version with It is necessary to remove the top cushion of the sofa, which is the seat and occupies the entire area of ​​the sofa. These were the first versions of the sofas with the American mechanism. Then, with a special handle, you need to pull upward and toward yourself, and then unfold the cot.

The second option unfolding was called "sedafleks". Here you will not need to remove the pillow, as it is attached to the base of the bed. In the unfolded form, it will be under it.

There is another type of similar furniture - "French cot". They are often confused with the American version. To distinguish them is quite simple. American folded twice, French - in three. If you are going to use the sofa as a bed every day, then a sofa with an American folding mechanism is much preferable. After all, it allows you to use a mattress thicker (and according to your desire and orthopedic) as compared with the second option. The triple addition of models with the French transformation mechanism allows using only thin mattresses.

2. Disassembling such furniture is easy enough.because the sleeves of the folding bed are made of durable but light metal.
3. Such sofas able to withstand heavy loads during the entire period of operation.
4. The bed at such a sofa is wide and comfortable.. Almost always in the kit with a sofa includes an orthopedic mattress.
5. The seat depth of this furniture is wide enough.therefore, it is possible to sleep on it comfortably and unassembled, at least one person.

Disadvantages:

1. Lack of laundry drawersAfter all, the entire place under the seat takes a folded bed. However, there are exceptions in the rules. If the boxes for storing linen are still found in American cots, they are usually very massive models that are not suitable for small apartments.
2. The design of the sofa provides for the presence of springstherefore, when changing the position of the body, the bed may creak.Also, some materials used as a basis for the manufacture of a berth may sag under the weight of the body over time.
3. Massive appearance. Of course, this disadvantage is the place to be for small-sized apartments, since such a sofa is not compact and takes up quite a lot of space compared to other types.

Pay attention to which surface the mattress will be located on. This can be a mesh, awning, armor, or lattice. The armor and lattice base bend less than the other options, and therefore will not sag. Obese people better choose such a foundation. Such sofas are more durable.

The mattress that comes with a sofa can be orthopedic or ordinary. If finances allow, of course, it is better to choose orthopedic mattresses. They, in turn, can be both spring and springless. Sleeping on a spring mattress is much milder, but it has its drawbacks - this is the accumulation of dust inside the springs over time and the ingress of moisture, which causes metal damage. The useful area of ​​this option is less than in a springless mattress due to reinforced edges.

Pay attention to the quality characteristics of the upholstery. The more often you plan to use a sofa, the stronger it should be. If there are animals in the house, choose fabrics that do not fear cat claws. Such fabrics are now sold in large quantities.
