Frameless sofa

Furniture in the house is a must-have attribute for creating coziness and space optimization. Modern manufacturers are increasingly using innovative materials for the production of such structures. One of these products are polymeric fillers, which form the basis of frameless sofas. Such furniture is gradually gaining popularity, as it is durable and practical.

Frameless sofas are a unique type of products, which excludes the use of a rigid metal or wood frame. At the same time, the design perfectly preserves the shape and is no different from ordinary furniture. The frameless sofa consists of several large modules that are interconnected.

• External cover. Often it is made of dense fabric that can withstand prolonged stress without losing its appearance.
• Inner case-frame. This part gives shape to each element of the sofa.
• Filler. As this attribute, polymeric balls of small diameter are used, which retain their shape for a long time. The size and type of filler is selected individually for each type of sofa depending on its purpose.

The construction of such furniture is a simple operation that requires the formation of a tissue frame. This allows you to give the sofa any shape - from a simple horizontal platform to the corner bag. It should be noted that the cost of this product is somewhat less than other products. At the same time, it is possible to update the design of a frameless sofa almost every month. To do this, you just need to sew a new case, which is then put on each of the soft blocks.Note that in this way you can combine different design of a single element.

According to customer reviews, frameless sofas are a unique opportunity to diversify your interior. Furniture of this type has many positive sides:

• Low weight. This is achieved by removing the frame, as well as the use of lightweight polymer filler. The mass of sofas of this type can be only 25-40 kg, depending on its size. Such a product can even be moved by a woman, which makes it easy to change the location of furniture after a certain time.
• Ease of care. All sofas are equipped with removable covers that, if necessary, are easy to remove for cleaning or replacement. In this case, the duration of the manufacture of a new pattern does not exceed several hours.
• Long service life. All furniture components are made from high-quality and dense materials that easily carry constant loads. As for the filler, it also retains its shape and elasticity for a long time, and if necessary it can be easily replaced.
• Comfort. The shapeless frame perfectly adapts to the outlines of the human body in any of its position. This allows not only to sit, but also to lie on the couch, without exposing your body to excessive loads.
• Unique design. Modern sofas are made of eco-leather, which allows it to fit into almost any style of home. Manufacturers put on the market furniture in various colors and shades that will appeal to even the most sophisticated gourmets.
• Low price. The cost of this product varies in a wide range, depending on the material used for exterior decoration.
• Hygiene. Almost all types of sofas are equipped with covers that repel dirt. If the material is still contaminated, it does not prevent the owner to simply replace the surface with a new one.
• Security. The lack of hard corners allows children to play on them without the risk of hitting.

Frameless furniture only at first glance seems to be versatile and practical. Still, sofas of this type have several significant drawbacks:

• Over time, the filler loses its shape, which leads to its gradual compaction.Therefore, to maintain optimal volume, you should periodically replenish the sofa with new balls.
• All sofas are characterized by a low fit., which is not always convenient for people of age, as it will be necessary to put extra effort into lifting.
• The orthopedic characteristics of the structures do not allow the use of such furniture for sleep. The rigidity of the sofa frame is minimal than it is impossible to achieve the optimal level of support for the spine. After the periodic use of such furniture can begin back pain.

It should be understood that frameless furniture is a big soft pillow, which is used not only for the head, but also for the whole body. It is recommended to use it only as additional attributes. If you decide to use sofas for sleep, supplement them with special orthopedic mattresses. It is important to choose them correctly with the help of experienced professionals.

Production of frameless furniture involves the formation of fabric bags for filling them with special balls. As a filler use several products:

• Wood chips. Often for such furniture use wastes from pine or spruce, which are not so damaged by rodents and produce a healing aroma.
• Down or feathers. This filler is quite rare, since the cost of such a sofa will be much higher than its counterparts.
• Polymers. Many artificial materials such as foam plastic can be used as fillers. Some models are made of foam rubber, but it is not able to keep its shape for a long time. The most popular filler is polystyrene foam, which holds its shape well and is safe for human health.

For the manufacture of covers used many types of fabrics:

• velor differs fleecy;
• flock resistant to fading;
• Jacquard is characterized by high durability;
• eco-leather withstands water;
• tapestry has a high strength and variety of design.

Frameless sofas are a complex of several separate modules that are interconnected. This allows you to give them a classic shape. Today, both conventional and angular modifications are on the market. Each of them has its advantages and disadvantages. Among all this diversity, several popular models should be highlighted:

• "Rook". The product is made in a classic style and is characterized by the presence of a special platform. Manufacturers claim that the sofa can last up to 10 years without the need to replace the filler. As a material for the manufacture of covers used all kinds of fabrics that the customer wishes. The length of the structure is almost 2 m, while the width is only 1 m. Please note that the sofa platform unfolds and can be transformed into a berth.

• "Pharaoh". A sofa of this type is a bit like an ottoman, as it has small dimensions (length up to 2 m, height - about 75 cm). The model is compact and practical. High quality polyurethane foam is also used as a filler.

• First of all, the layout of the structure is created. Based on this information, a frame drawing is further developed.
• After that, blanks are cut out of special fabrics.which sew according to the workpiece. Please note that in one of the sides there is a hole that is closed by a zipper. Similarly, the upper case is sewn.
• The final step is to fill the frame with polyurethane foam or foam.over which the decorative overlay is put on.
