Pouf bed

Owners of even the most spacious apartments have repeatedly encountered the problem of selecting furniture that would not only correspond to aesthetic preferences, but also differ in functionality. In small residential areas, this issue is most acute. Here it is necessary to save space to ensure acceptable living conditions. The more tenants in an apartment, the more sleeping places will be needed, and for the sake of solving this problem, furniture manufacturers do not cease to experiment with various structures and materials. One of the modern options - pouf-bed.

Benefits

The pouf is a well-known place to sit, it can be called a backless chair. It is convenient to use in the bedroom, in the living room or even in the kitchen. It is much more convenient than a regular stool and is traditionally made of fairly soft materials and on a rigid frame. Initially, in the poufs, additional cavities were made in which you can store the necessary things (reclining the seat, which served as a cover). The most famous option - a pouf for the hallway with a compartment for storing shoes. Poof bed has become an even more difficult decision. In the inner cavity of the pouf, the folded design of the bed is stored, which unfolds when the lid opens.

So a small poof turns into a folding bed, and this is its main advantage over traditional folding beds, which even when folded take up a lot of space.

Among other benefits, we highlight:

  • Such a product is easy to clean - especially if the pouf is made of leather or analogues. If the upholstery is made of fabric, and the spots had time to fit into it, it will be enough to replace it. And the fabric for the new upholstery will need quite a bit.
  • Do not forget that your pets will certainly be interested in such a product - and it is quite possible that you will want to buy such a pouf just for them. Therefore, the material must be chosen very carefully. Manufacturers are going to meet customers, therefore, increasingly, such furniture is made of water-repellent materials, which significantly increases the service life of the pouf.
  • A frame product or a pouf made of materials that keep their shape well can be a substitute for a small table.In the folded state, such a pouf imitates a coffee table or a banquette not bad, and it can be placed, for example, next to the sofa in the living room.
  • Be sure to pay attention to the presence of wheels. With them, even a heavy pouf can be easily moved around the apartment. If the wheels are missing, and the size of the furniture is such that it will be difficult for you to lift it, it is better to choose a more convenient option.

Species

In the shops now you can find a large number of different options for every taste, but something special can always be made to order. You will not have difficulties with embedding a new piece of furniture in the existing sofa.

However, before making a purchase, measure the area that the poof will occupy when folded or unfolded - it will be easier to make the right choice and not be mistaken with the dimensions.

Main varieties:

  • If you want to put a pouf in a spacious living room, it is better to choose a large one that folds into a full bed. Such poufs are usually made on a metal frame, They are comfortable enough to sleep. But most often they are quite heavy (compared to other products) and worse transported.
  • Foam ottoman-accordion - this is a very interesting solution. It is soft and light, in the folded state it is a flat cube and unfolds into a single place (due to square pillows laid out in a row). However, take into account the fact that it is far from convenient for everyone to sleep on foam rubber, and this is the most common option for making such poufs.

In winter, it is better to use such a bed, placing it on the heated floor.

  • A separate category of such beds is a set of poufs, which, if desired, you can join and get an extra bed. They can be a great solution for the living room or kitchen, where they will play the role of seating for guests. Another suitable place for such poufs is a nursery. Some furniture manufacturers create colorful sets. For example, the popular model is ottoman transformer "mandarin". Its cushion-lobules can be combined or used separately - as you like.
  • "Accordion" is of two types - with connections between squares and without them. In the first case, such a poof will be decomposed in only one length. With the second type you can do a lot more various operations - for example,you can use only two squares for a child’s bed or (by removing extra squares) reduce the height of the folded pouf, making it more comfortable sitting.
  • Poof-folding bed - This is one of the most convenient solutions. As a rule, this product is a rectangle, inside which is a folded metal clamshell design. After opening the lid, this design is taken out and unfolds. Please note that when purchasing such furniture, it is desirable to get an additional mattress.

Care

In addition, any furniture-transformer requires care. Do not forget to monitor not only the cleanliness of the upholstery, but also the state of the folding mechanism. This is especially true with clamshell and "accordion" - metal parts require regular inspection and lubrication, as well as careful cleaning, if liquid was spilled on them. Otherwise they can quickly become rusty, which will affect both the appearance and the functionality of the product.
