Inflatable sofa

Inflatable sofas became especially popular last year, in the summer of 2016. They really gained popularity very quickly, and many now choose just such options. This is the so-called big lifebuoy - or chaise longue, only inflatable.

What is an inflatable sofa?

An inflatable sofa is an original marching or beach option for relaxing on the sea or a picnic in the backyard. Of course, its main purpose - to roll you on the sea or lake, river. It is very pleasant not to get out on land at once, but to jump onto a light and comfortable sofa, which is always close by.

This is also a great option for a child who is still not very confident swimming and does not want to completely sink into the water. You can chat with your feet in the water, sitting on the couch, or simply swim and sunbathe quietly under the pacifying sound of the waves. It is worth considering the use of inflatable furniture in apartments. Yes, this option is also practiced, especially in cases with small and narrow spaces in which you need to save space.

Features and benefits

The first (and most important) plus inflatable sofa - its compactness. You can put it in a bag, take a small pump with you to rest, try a little (even a teenager will be able to cope with it) - and end up with a great inflatable lounger. It also leaves no discomfort on the skin, such as stickiness or itching, irritation. The sofa is made of thick vinyl, its derivatives. Before use, the materials undergo a special check, which reveals all defects and allows to increase the reliability and strength of the structure.

Vinyl is considered an ideal material for the manufacture of inflatable furniture, as it is air-and waterproof, lightweight and durable, and also takes up little space when folded. Vinyl (and polyolefin, which can also be used to create such sofas) is perfectly safe for health, such material does not cause allergies and does not harm the human body. It is difficult enough to pierce, but it is possible - and the seams do not disperse, as on many sofas they simply do not exist. Modern inflatable furniture is made from one piece of material, giving it the desired shape.If several parts of the sofa need to be joined together with seams, then lasers are used.

Inflatable sofas can provide a truly urban level of comfort when you are out of town.

Of course, many people doubt the strength and safety of inflatable furniture, but this is only because there is little known about such sofas. Inflatable furniture is very durable, durable and safe, pleasant to the touch and adapts to the curves of the body. It should be noted that there are places where you should not use inflatable furniture - areas with sharp stones, sticking sticks or splinters. Such a sofa (like any inflatable thing) will lose its shape from contact with sharp objects and is simply blown away. The same applies to "communication" with clawed pets.

It can be used on water, gravel, small pebbles, sand and grass, you can put a hard mat under it for safety. You must remember that you can not use an inflatable sofa as a trampoline or as a stand for something heavy. It is not designed for this, the pressure may even burst. Do not leave it for a long time in direct sunlight.

If you do not use the sofa at a particular moment, then put it in the shade. Otherwise, the polymers will lose their strength and will last much less. Do not smoke or make a fire next to such a product.

Inflate the mattress should be a small pump. Automobile and industrial compressors will not work, as their pressure level is too high - the sofa can overstrain and burst. It is very convenient that almost all inflatable furniture comes with a small pump. If there is no such product, then it should be purchased separately. The sofa can be inflated to eighty percent of the total elasticity, no more - so the risk that it will burst, will be minimal. The inflatable sofa in the unfolded state should not resemble a car tire. By the way - if you have a sofa with a built-in pump, then you cannot use it in water.

Washing the sofa is very simple - just lather it and hose it with water (the pressure should be small). You can simply wipe the surface with a soap rag or sponge. To fix such a sofa is also quite simple - of course, it can be attributed to specialists, if you don’t want to work independently, but many cope on their own.You need to arm yourself with a set of rubber patches and buy special glue, learn how to make patches and repair valves and pumps yourself.

Species

You can pay attention not only to sofas, but also to inflatable mattresses, sun beds or beds. They are not much different from similar sofas, but it is quite possible that one of these functions will suit you more.

So, mattresses - the most common option. They are appreciated for their versatility - such products can be used on vacation (as beds), in a small apartment (for guests or simply to save space) or to improve the condition of the back (suitable for people with disorders of the musculoskeletal system). This is also a great option if you have just purchased an apartment, and the bed is not yet. Quite often, air mattresses replace the usual or used as a bed on a permanent basis. They are made of environmentally friendly materials and do not cause allergies, dust and microorganisms do not accumulate on them. They are also used for water recreation.

In terms of functionality, an inflatable bed is very similar to a mattress, it differs only in size - such a product is higher, it can consist of two chambers, or one (or more).Of course, the beds of several cells and the size are larger - the height can vary from twenty to sixty centimeters. One of its main features is the ability to change shape. Thanks to the multi-layer inflatable bed can be turned into a mattress, and in a chair or chaise. It is not recommended to jump and stand.

But the sofas themselves have a height of about twenty to forty centimeters. An interesting option would be an inflatable convertible sofa, which (like a bed of several cameras) can be decomposed into the desired piece of furniture. The sofas also have armrests, bells and backrests, so they can be used as apartment furniture. They also compare to classic wooden beds - in size.

An inflatable trampoline is suitable for families with children - it differs in that it is able to withstand the pressure drops of a small force that occur during children's jumps and games. Such trampolines are completely safe, the main thing is not to install them in water. Jumping past, the child can go deep into the water. It is not recommended to install such products on rocky terrain and near any objects.Ideal - an empty lawn near the house (or something like that). There are also inflatable gaming centers and swimming pools - with such you can not even go to the river.

If you really want inflatable furniture to last as long as possible, in addition to proper operation, think about buying a special cover. It will save the sofa from abrasions, make the cover even more pleasant and help delay the cleaning of the sofa itself - because the covers are easily removed, they can be washed even after each use (of course, it is better to do it in a washing machine). Covers are also pleasant to the touch (they are made of material close to the velor), they look beautiful, are sold in different colors and help the sofa to fit well into the interior.

Separate attention are bivani - inflatable sofas for which you do not need a pump. This is a bag that needs to “scoop” the air, close it, and it will inflate. It can be used on any terrain - even while waiting for your flight at the airport. It is made from the same fabric as the parachute (polyester with polyurethane impregnation, and inside - air-holding polymer).Such a product is durable and durable, as well as waterproof, which makes it possible to use it on water.

Bevan takes the shape of your body - it's really just a bag with air inside, which bends under any weight (if it is no more than 300 kg). It looks like a chair bag, a banana or a pouf, but is much lighter and more compact. Included with it is a shoulder bag in which it can easily fit.

The Bevan itself has a large pocket in which a book or tablet can easily fit, and a small one - under the phone, so as not to go far behind it. When folded, the sofa measures thirty-five by fifteen centimeters and eleven in girth. It weighs 1.5 kg. Such a product is sold in different colors, washes with a damp sponge (like any inflatable furniture) or is erased in a typewriter - without bleach, on a soft mode.

Of course, such a sofa is very light, so in conditions of strong wind it is better to attach it to the peg - there is also a loop for it. He holds the form for about twelve hours - having inflated it only twice, you will be able to use it for a whole day (or even sleep on it).If you accidentally pierce the wivel, you can purchase a replaceable air-holding layer. He often comes bundled. You can simply seal the puncture from the inside with tape.

Inflatable sofas can be of various sizes, different designs, forms. These products are divided into models. As already noted, sofas can be of different forms.

How to choose?

Of course, the sofa will suit you completely only if you choose it correctly. The product must be of high quality and durable, suitable for you in design and price. When going to buy an inflatable sofa, pay attention to the following:

  • If parts of the product are sewn together, pay attention to the seams. If the seams are longitudinal, this means that the product will not serve you for a long time, but if transverse - the opposite. Cross seams guarantee resistance to heavy loads and strength, they provide rigidity.
  • When choosing a sofa, pay attention to its surface. This can be a smooth PVC surface or waterproof vinyl coated. A good sofa is very comfortable for home use, the fabric does not slip off from it - a sheet, a blanket, a bedspread. PVC surface is smooth and smooth, it is good for swimming. Vinyl is a material that can be called universal.
  • Pay attention to the price / quality ratio. The average price of such a sofa is one and a half to two thousand rubles. Yes, the prices are quite decent and affordable - especially when compared with the usual sofas. Of course, unscrupulous online sellers can sell you a damaged product at a discount (or just at the lowest cost).If you are going to buy the necessary product, look on the Internet for reviews about the manufacturer, product and ask around friends. Pay attention to proven brands and do not buy questionable products in online stores in China or other countries, even the CIS.
  • Be sure to check the valve - inflate the sofa, apply a soap solution to the valve and lie on top, starting to observe. If everything is fine with the valve, it will not react to the soap. If not, soap bubbles will appear near the surface. A little more about the valve - the diameter of its hole is better to choose a significant size, inflating and lowering the sofa in this way go much faster.
  • So, about the pump. Remember the impossibility of using automotive or industrial pumps. If there is an option to purchase a sofa complete with a pump - use it. If not, pay attention to the small manual or foot version (“Frog”) - three to five liters.
