The main difference of the sofa is the transformation mechanism. To transform it into a real bed, it takes no more than a few seconds. The scheme is quite simple and resembles an accordion: pulling the seat and pushing it forward, the back, consisting of two blocks of the same thickness, will fall.

One of the advantages of these models is their modular system. The models are unique in that, depending on the design of the modules, they can be multifunctional. In other words, they are at the same time a chair, a sofa, and a bed, and some parts can replace a coffee table if necessary.

In addition to the main components in the assembly use textiles for the cover block and upholstery material top.

The filler is responsible for the quality of the mattress. That he makes furniture soft. In sofas with the Accordion system, thick HR polyurethane foam and a spring block are often used. Another block worthy of respect is the latex mattress, but it is very expensive, although its quality is higher than other fillers.It is resilient, durable, practical and does not break under the weight of the load.

The spring block is different from the analogs of the Soviet era, as the connection of the springs today is different. Springs can function together or separately. The first type is called dependent, the second - independent.

A budget alternative to leather models are upholstered. from kozhzam or ecoskin. They are better than textiles, but inferior to leather upholstery. Since the leatherette consists of a textile base and glued leather film, it is less resistant to daily use than the single layer of which genuine leather consists.

the cloth - The most impractical version of the upholstery, although it differs in a variety of colors and patterns. Besides the fact that textiles absorb moisture, dirt, collect dust, it is subject to mechanical stress. Scratches, cuts, holes appear on it very quickly, even with careful operation.
