Corner sofa

The man always needed a convenient place to rest and sleep. For a comfortable stay in the house you need a high-quality sofa that accommodates a friendly company or plunge into a world of comfort and relaxation.

The corner sofa is the most widespread, practical and convenient type of furniture for rest and leisure. It is ideal for a space in which there is little space. Corner models form an angle of 90 degrees. Usually they have the shape of the letter G or P. This allows you to install it along two walls, thereby taking up little space, saving space.

Scope of this furniture is diverse. It can be used every day - watch TV on it, read, just chat heart to head or seat guests. It is suitable for daily sleep, as most have a folding mechanism, and the area of ​​the lying surface is increased by 2 times.

A design idea, like its technical implementation, depends a lot on the taste of the consumer, its wealth and fashion trends. The sum of these factors influences the appearance of all kinds of the usual for all people symbol of comfort and comfort - a sofa.

One of the most frequently purchased models is a sofa with an inner drawer. This option is suitable for large families or apartments and houses, where there is little free space. Pastels, blankets and pillows are easily placed in the allotted space. The drawer extends freely from the main body. There are also storage spaces that are hidden in the armrests. They help to hide, for example, the “on-duty” pastel set, which is obtained only when you have guests for the night.

An ordinary corner sofa bed can be supplemented with wooden armrests. They have quite a few advantages. First, with enough space, you can put glasses on them, plates or something else. Secondly, the wooden coating will protect the surface most susceptible to wear and damage. And thirdly, it is an integral part of the element of decor, which can be matched to the main ensemble of furniture in the house or be combined in color with the floor covering.

The dominant majority of modern corner sofa beds have orthopedic mattresses. It provides the most convenient and correct arrangement of the back and spine during sleep and just rest. It is pleasant to sit on it, there is no feeling that you fall into the depths.

In addition, at the request of the customer or the idea of ​​the manufacturer himself, corner sofas can be equipped with a high backrest for a comfortable stay on it. A person will be able to rely on the entire surface of the back, this contributes to better rest and relaxation.

Manufacturers are trying to make modern models practical to use and make them with sideboards or one or two drawers. Undoubtedly, such innovations only increase usability. In addition to pastel accessories, household appliances can be put in the cabinet (TV remote control, manicure accessories, balls and knitting needles).

Depending on the room and the amount of space in it, several types of mechanisms were created in order to easily and quickly transform the sofa into a bed or a place to rest. Usually they are called by analogy devices similar things. There are the following types:

1. Puma;
2. "Book";
3. Eurobook;
4. With swivel mechanism;
5. "Pantograph";
6. "Dolphin";
7. With extendable corner;
8. "Accordion";
9. Vykatny mechanism;
10. Sedaflex;
11. "Milan";
12. Cormac;
13. "Brussels".

Every year there are more mechanisms. Designers, together with manufacturers, try to group them in order to find the most comfortable and practical options for frequent use.

All mechanisms are unique and convenient in their own way, but before choosing you need to know how they work.

The basic principle is that first the main unit of the seat rises upwards, then the exit lower part is pulled forward to the stop. Next, the seat of the exit part pull up and forward. As a result of this, the second seat will come out from under it, which is fixed at the level of the first one. At the end we lower the main unit seat into place. For assembly, all steps are repeated in reverse order.

It should be noted that this is the most popular transformation mechanism. It is called the eternal due to its special strength. To turn the sofa into a bed, you need to lift the seat up to the characteristic click. The back itself will take a horizontal position, thereby creating a spacious sleeping space.

This view is very easy to use. People call it "Alternative." It works as follows: the seat moves forward, and then the back is lowered onto the resulting space. It opens and closes like a book cover. To return to the original state, everything is done in the reverse order.

One of the most convenient layouts. A slight turn of the seat sideways until it stops is transformed into a berth. Moving the seat back, the furniture takes the original look. The advantage of this method is in the ease of moving part of the sofa without much effort.

This mechanism, also known as "Tik-Tak" is an improved mechanism of the "Eurobook" model. As in the case of the mentioned transformation, it is necessary to push the seat forward.However, to do this, it must be raised, slightly pulling up. The hinges themselves will help to take the necessary position. Next, we put the seat on the floor and lower the back into the resulting space. The result is a sleeper. To assemble the bed to its original position, the back is first raised, followed by a seat that moves into place until it stops.

This is the most reliable model of transformation. At the base there is a roll-out platform. When the sofa is assembled, it is under the seat. For transformation, you should roll out the platform and pull it up. When the surface rises, gently pull it towards you to set it flush with the other seats. The result is a spacious area for sleeping and relaxing. After resting, pull the strap, lower the platform and slide it under the seat.

The extreme single part of the usual sofa is pushed forward according to the type of transformation "Eurobook". As a result, an angular rotation is formed and more space appears to accommodate people.

This mechanism allows you to save space, has high strength and durability.To convert the sofa into a bed, it is enough to slightly raise the front part and pull it towards you. Then you do not need to do anything, the bed itself will take the correct position, forming a fairly large space for operation. To fold everything back, lift the seat to the first click and lower it to the floor. Next, the mechanism will return to its original position, if you press on it until it stops in the back.

This option is suitable for those rooms and rooms where during the day you need more space for work and household chores, and at night - a spacious reclining place to sleep. Pull the seat by the hinges in front. The remaining parts will begin to be nominated after the further burden on themselves. This view is very simple and not intricate to use. To roll a part back, just slide it inside.

In common people it is called "clamshell". The system itself is located inside the sofa. In the assembled state, it is hidden under the pillows. To transform, remove the cushions, pull up the seat and turn the upper section. Then fix its base in a horizontal position.Everything will take a stationary position, if you repeat the steps in reverse order.

The peculiarity of the mechanism is that the entire upper body of the sofa rises, opening special compartments for placing things. To raise the frame with a mattress, you need to pull a special textile knob, and then by inertia the special loops will stand as it should. It acts in the opposite direction to return the reclining area to the place

This species is a hybrid. Here are mixed "Milan" and "dolphin". In the corner sofa, most often the narrow side part is expanded according to the type of "Milan", and the majority and the main part according to the type "dolphin".

The mechanism is also mixed. The narrow corner part is decomposed according to the type “Milan”, and the main one - according to the type “pantograph”.

Parameters are most often set by the customer, but there are standards in streaming production. As a rule, the width varies between 1.5-1.8 meters, and the length is 2 or 3 meters. Dimensions of furniture should be selected for the main purpose. If a large family lives in the house, then a three-seater sofa will help in landing people, for example, when watching a movie together, or celebrating a birthday.

There are also compact double models. They fit easily into a small room.Model corner sofa "Malibu" has a width of 360 cm, height from the floor 87 cm. Not a low level contributes to a comfortable position of the legs. But the narrow size of the bed (160 cm) allows you to place with comfort only 1 adult.

Corner mini-sofa is usually used for landing at the dining table in the kitchen. Usually this model does not fold out, but has space under the seats to accommodate things.

Long corner sofas - from 3 meters wide, often used for home theaters or in office premises.

A variety of modern forms of corner sofas constantly pleases the buyer. Any apartment can be furnished with furniture for every taste. In stores you can find standard L-shaped and P-shaped corner sofas. There is also a corner left, right and universal option. Currently, you can find more complex forms, as the house itself has ceased to be a regular square box. There are apartments and houses with semicircular and round ledges - bay windows, which allow to increase the internal space. The corner sofa with a round back will ideally fit into such an interior.

Choosing the soft friend's upholstery color, you should follow several rules. All colors are divided into 2 main groups: warm stimulating and cold soothing.

To warm include red, brown, orange, yellow, green. These colors are suitable for upholstery of sofas, which are located in offices, work areas of the house, living room. It is important to understand that the color of the walls must also be in harmony with the furniture. Do not abuse the bright colors. If the room, for example, has bright yellow walls, then a sofa of the same color will supersize the color of the room. In this case, it will be better to prefer lighter or beige tones.

Cold palette - blue, purple, its shade - lilac, indigo and others.Blue or shades of it will help create a calming atmosphere that is necessary in the bedroom or seating area. Blue can be used for the upholstery of office sofas, as it is associated with trust, wisdom and strength. Purple or lilac colors favor a romantic or creative atmosphere. On the sofa of this color it will be very nice to have a cup of tea, do needlework or work.

Choosing for yourself a corner sofa, it is important to clarify what the frame and upholstery with filler was made of. If possible, always give preference to natural and environmentally friendly materials to sleep and rest without worrying about health.

The creation of any furniture and sofa in particular begins with its frame. It can be metal, wood or combine in itself these two materials. In practice, the chipboard frame is impractical, it is unreliable and heavy, which complicates its transportation and movement. For a quality and durable base, as a rule, take "soft" wood. Usually it is a pine. Such a body will be lighter in weight and will serve its owner longer. The exception is the back and armrests, they must be made of solid rock.

Furniture on metal frame is not inferior in strength to wood. It is convenient to disassemble into components and move if necessary. For greater endurance and strength in the design should not be sharp untreated corners, as well as welds. Manufacturers often create models in which the wooden lattice is located on a metal base.

Make frames and artificial rattan, or matting. In quality, it is quite durable and can tolerate adverse conditions, such as high humidity, rain, scorching sun. Usually from it do garden or country furniture. Sometimes these sofas can be found in office space.

As for the upholstery, there are much more options here, it all depends on the preferences and prosperity of the buyer. Appearance is one of the important components of any furniture that you should pay attention to when buying.Upholstery can be made from fabric, natural leather and its artificial substitute.

The fabric differs in texture, color, technical characteristics and, of course, price. Most often for upholstery take:

• Flock. Previously, a synthetic thread with the addition of cotton and natural wool was used for its production. Therefore, this fabric is pleasant to the touch. The material is practical, resistant to moisture and damage, easy to clean and not too quickly fade from bright sunlight.

• Velours. Its structure is very dense and has a small pile. Owner of the sofa with such a fabric, he will appreciate the pleasant to the touch velvety surface. The material is well cleaned, does not attract dust, is durable and, most importantly, non-toxic.

• Chenille This is the most popular material. This fabric consists of natural cotton with the addition of acrylic, viscose or polyester. This fiber will give the sofa a beautiful and aesthetic look. But, unfortunately, his practicality, he can not boast. This material is prone to the formation of clues that do not particularly please cat owners. The formed stains cannot be cleaned with water, only by dry cleaning, otherwise the fabric will crawl and deteriorate.

• Jacquard. This material is unique in that it is hard and slides slightly.He is able to give the exterior chic and gloss to any sofa. For its production, bright colors are usually used, paint complex and unusual ornaments. In the care of the fabric is unpretentious, but from the wet cleaning should be abandoned.

• Tapestry. This is quite an expensive material, since it contains more than 60% cotton. It is very durable and, as a rule, wear-resistant. Upholstered furniture, covered with such a fabric, will delight with its beauty and spectacularity.

High-quality artificial leather in its parameters in no way inferior to the fabric cover. It is much easier to maintain, and the price will also pleasantly surprise. Genuine leather today is one of the most expensive upholstery materials. The coating breathes, it is easily cleaned of dirt, but it is demanding to care. The skin should not dry out, otherwise cracks will appear.

The soft component - the filler, should also be paid attention, because comfort depends on the “filling”. Filling can be from foam rubber, polyurethane foam, plush, spring blocks.

High-quality spring blocks should evenly distribute the load around the perimeter, this prevents the emergence of squeaking and noisy friction of the springs against each other.Mattresses with such filler are orthopedic and support the back in the correct position during sleep and rest.

Foam rubber as a filler is also not bad. However, pretty soon it forms physiological dents from the body. The relief becomes uneven and causes inconvenience. In this case, you should choose sofas with a multi-layer level of foam rubber, which will extend its service life.

Modern technology and a large variety of materials allows you to find a sofa of absolutely any style. Conventionally, they can be divided into modern and classic. The most popular are classic. Such furniture will easily fit into the interior and add solidity to it. Its main features are high back, comfortable seating, lack of decorative elements. Design ideas are embodied in an incredible number of beautiful sofas. However, practicality is not always on the 1st place.

Allocate:

• Hi-Tech. This style is characterized by the use of the most advanced mechanisms, which provides increased comfort in use. As a rule, such corner sofas have great functionality and practicality.Often used for upholstery suede or leather.

• Modern Differs in the presence of bright colors and non-standard ornaments. Its main goal is to turn the piece of furniture into a unique and unique thing. These sofas are always pleasing to the eye and make the apartment more comfortable.

• Provence. In this style, simplicity, ease of form and captivating charm are noted. Usually upholstery has a floral ornament or is made in warm pleasant shades.

Choose an original and comfortable corner sofa - not an easy task. It is necessary to treat its choice with due attention, as it will be used daily. There are a number of points, following which, it is easy and simple to purchase a quality product.

Before buying it is necessary to measure the width and length of the intended place of placement. Otherwise, the acquired model may simply not fit in the space allocated for it.

If the sofa is bought for both leisure and sleep, it is important to know that the bed must be at least 5-6 cm more than a sleeping person. In a cramped bed it is hard to achieve complete relaxation, which means that in the morning the body will be sluggish and tired.

The backbone of the sofa should be strong and of high quality, 70% of comfort depends on it.It is better if it is made of steel or quality wood without knots.

The purpose of the purchase is also important. For yourself, it is necessary to determine which function will be the main one. The choice of the mechanism of transformation and the size of the furniture itself depends on it. If it will be used as a bed, you should give preference to folding sofas. And if for ordinary get-togethers in the living room, then the non-folding options.

When choosing a sofa with an angle, it is useful to know that the models have a right, left, or universal angle. Find out what he has a sofa, quite simple. Face it and determine which side is the short element. If it is with the ottoman on the left, then the left, if on the right, then the right.

Choosing a folding option, you need to understand how often the sofa will turn into a bed. There are two types of mechanisms: for daily use and guest. For the first case, the best are suitable "dolphin", "eurobook", "tick-tac", vykatnoy mechanisms. Guest option takes up a lot of space. It includes the "French" clamshell, "sedafleks".

The upholstery material combines 2 functions - decorative and practical.Upholstery determines the appearance of the model and affects its performance characteristics. There are 3 types of materials: fabric, artificial and genuine leather. Modern fabrics have unique and unusual properties, such as resistance to moisture and fading, practicality, and anti-vandal cut from pets. Artificial leather is also easy to clean and is not inferior to a fabric or leather coating.

The durability and comfort level when using upholstered furniture depends on a filler. The best in durability are fillers made from spring blocks. They do not trap moisture, withstand heavy loads. You should also give preference to polyurethane foam filler. It adapts to the shape of the body, it is comfortable to sit on and easy to stand on.

It is always nice to buy a sofa when complete with soft cushions are beautiful divandeks or special bedspreads on the sofa. They protect furniture from premature wear and dirt.

As mentioned earlier, before buying it is necessary to estimate the size of the furnished premises. A small sofa will not look too good in a large apartment, and vice versa. This implies the first rule of furniture arrangement - proportionality. It is best to schematically depict the room on paper and specify the size, so much easier to avoid a mistake.

The corner sofa is specific in shape and is usually placed back against the wall. But it is better not to hurry and think over the situation. If the room is elongated rectangular shape, then this sofa is better not to put along the length of the wall. This arrangement will only emphasize the disproportionality of the room. You can experiment and decompose the "carriage" room into sectors. L-shaped form will be able to separate the work area from the recreation area.

For small, square-shaped rooms, an angular folding sofa would be an excellent solution. It is advisable not to choose dark shades, otherwise such furniture will even more visually "eat up" a small space.

Modern planning houses include large balconies and balconies. This space can also be used rationally.It is always pleasant to sit comfortably on a balcony with a cheerful company. Corner L-shaped sofa will fit perfectly into the small size of the loggia. If the dimensions allow, then you can install a U-shaped corner sofa and put a coffee table between the sides.

Furnishing a cottage or cottage, you should understand its intended purpose. Cottage is a place to relax, and the load of the room with furniture does not give complete unity with nature and will leave the feeling of being in a city apartment. If there is a fireplace in the room, then an U-shaped sofa will perfectly stand in front of it. He will gather all the guests and owners of the cottage in an atmosphere of comfort and warmth.

Office layout is different from the usual arrangement of furniture in the room. This room is designed for work, important negotiations, business discussions. Therefore, the furniture should not distract from the working mood. It goes without saying that the selected corner sofa is not designed for sleeping. It must be concise, comfortable and have a hard mattress (so as not to sleep). Coloring - cold and neutral tones.

Usually the sofas of the shape of the letters G and P are placed in the middle of the conference hall or near the wall in the reception room.Corner sofa is also indispensable for the dining room in the office. He will help you sit comfortably and conveniently in front of your table.

Any thing is not durable, and the consumer always wants to extend its life, especially when it comes to furniture. A quality and good sofa is not cheap, and people use it during the day, very often. For a long service life, scuffs and roughness are formed, which obviously do not give beauty to him or to the interior as a whole. Pets also reduce the time for using the sofa. Basically, cats and dogs love to sharpen their claws on the upholstery or chew on protruding surfaces. It also happens that you just want to change the atmosphere in the house.

In all these cases, may help hauling the sofa. If the damage is small, you can fix it yourself (sew, tint). But if the defects are on a large scale, then you should contact the furniture company, where you bought a sofa or a specialized studio. Pleasure is not cheap. The price will depend on the material for the new waist, decorative processing and the size of the sofa itself.

Each model of the corner sofa is unique.The quality of the goods speaks for itself through the reviews of real buyers. Listening to them, you can avoid mistakes in the choice.

Owners of the model "Brussels" speak of it very positively. The size is very comfortable and seemingly quite small, but when it folds into a bed, you get 2 comfortable beds. And the internal shelf pleases with its spaciousness. It was also noted that the seats do not sag.

People who bought the sofa "Rhine" are not entirely satisfied with the quality, but note the large size of the box for linen and a convenient assembly mechanism. However, after a year of use, the sinking of the retractable mattress filler began, as it is softer in structure than ordinary seats. As a result, back pain may occur due to uneven surfaces.

Analyzing the reviews of the sofa "Montreal", we can say that it is suitable for a large family. He noted comfortable seats. However, to accommodate guests at the table is not suitable because of the high landing. Although you can pre-select the optimal height of the table for the sofa.

As for the "Polo" model, then many argue that it is certainly good.The sofa is easy to use, easy to fold out and has a low frame weight. Particularly emphasized the roomy compartment for sleeping accessories. The only negative is pillows, they do not keep their shape

Options such as “Boston” and “Modern” are fashionable and stylish and highly appreciated by consumers. They note their elegance, practicality, and a rather large place for sleeping and relaxing.

Sofa "Madison", as noted by those who bought it - soft and on it is very comfortable to sit and relax.
