Healthy sleep: Myth or Reality?

Suitable for sleeping, with constant and comfortable - a fairly common requirement corner sofa. When the functionality of the bedroom is essential for couples, it is necessary to examine samples with dimensions of 160 * 200 cm. Features Some models are such that when a sufficiently impressive, massive appearance Unfolded width of the surface does not exceed 140 cm, which is not enough. On what else is advised to focus:

1. The degree of rigidity. The catch may consist in the fact that an additional bunk in a hidden element will be different hardness in contrast to the main. It will not only affect the quality of sleep of a second person, but can also elementary severely deformed during operation. If the implied location across during rest, the sleep becomes uncomfortable even alone, one part of the body will be in a hard or soft surface that will not add health.
2. Spring blocks filler, especially with isolated springs, fully replacing mattresses - very expensive, sometimes raising the price by half.
3. Upholstery should be non-slip, to prevent slipping and tumbling bed linen.
4. When the location of sleeping on the couch along should provide an elongated arm serving headboard to cushion it has always remained in his position.
5. Simplicity, ease of folding saves time and energy. Despite the fact that most of the standard model is equipped with a mechanism of "dolphin", for a regular sleep you should choose a more reliable "evroknizhka".

Frame and folding mechanism

The carcass quality as the foundation directly the life of the purchased piece of furniture depends. Guess whether the wooden frame of the dried enough to make no creaking, it is impossible. Therefore, consumers opt for the metal, which is quite rightly considered to be a reliable option. But here is significantly overpay for exclusive metal frame or thermoplastic is not always justified. Several motivational situations:

• The recommended service life of 25 years. It is possible for a couple of decades, you will want new clothes.
• Withstand the load on the bed to 1000-1500 kg. Unnecessarily, because it is difficult to imagine in real life so many sleeping on the couch.

But internal finishing sections must be made of high-quality particle board, plywood and not.
When the transformation of a variety of mechanisms, favorites are evroknizhka. The last modification of several improved:

• hardly felt butt pads;
• version pacing mechanism allows not interact with the floor covering;
• Protective strip (side-bar) in the back of the sofa will serve as a rim, preserving the wall surface in the unfolded state.

Accordion - is another modification that fans will appreciate the large surface area in the unfolded state. But often it is quite heavy model, and then the merits of the dimensions pale with frequent unfolding.

Such models as the "French clamshell" or "American", "dolphin" suitable for rare guest nights, and can not replace a full bed. With a high quality performance clips, secure fit retractable parts of the surface to sleep is non-uniform.

Filling: unobvious choice

Modern polyurethane foam (PUF hereinafter) is considerably superior to the usual foam. Some furniture factories use really high-quality filler, allowing you to select it without doubting the durability rather than spring blocks. The latter also is not always a guarantee of reliability, a greater degree of durability is dependent on securing and steel, from which they are made.

In the presence of young children and their jump may fail "snake" that serves as the basis for polyurethane foam, what usually ignore manufacturers.

Adding sterilized goose down for greater comfort and softness in the removable cushions offer far not all manufacturers of furniture. Typically, the filler act synthetic analogs of feather, down and natural latex. Hypoallergenic and environmentally friendly, in addition to latex can provide system "periotek" with a core of special polyester fibers without adhesives, resins. This is particularly important condition, if the claim against the couch as a full beds.

Features leather upholstery

Undoubtedly, luxury leather sets the tone for the entire interior of the living room. But with the high cost - a rather whimsical material to clean. Some designers have positioned the natural, noble aging originally quality cover as an advantage, but this is only possible when caring for and looking after other means.

Think about this purchase is worth, if you do not scare the following factors:

1. Children, pets can accelerate the wear of this rather finicky material, without the possibility of restoration.
2. Glossy skin type sometimes reinforce nitroemalyu or polyurethane, which increases the quality, but that is lost is a real natural, for which proper and appreciate natural leather.
3. Aniline leather is able to breathe and be very comfortable, but the sofa size automatically raise the price tag.
4. Guaranteed high-quality furniture and upholstery - the need to pay more and for the brand.

Eco-leather and its variations - a worthy alternative:

• practical;
• the budget;
• humanely.

Although manufacturers of sofas made of leather even offer trendy color such as turquoise or denim blue, eco-leather in the color relation demonstrates just immense palette of shades. Better samples passed all the properties of natural leather texture features for different species. They have long ceased to look "artificial", causing the association with leatherette, and more breathable due to micropores, and therefore will not stick.

Combined options - an additional way to get a sofa with an interesting design when the armrests and the lower part of the structure upholstered with leather, and the main part - tissue.

Fabric: fashionable quality

Upholstery fabrics are constantly being improved, but here is how to strike a balance between practicality and stylish trends? Some micro-trends that are accessed by designers in their projects, just do not become obsolete, being timeless solution:

1. Solid textiles: tweed pattern "goose foot", "Pepper and Salt", a classic small cell for costumes.
2. Velvet and similar "luxury" texture. Advantageous to look in a deep color, e.g., blue, lilac.
3. Bouclé, melange - to fully realize the idea of ​​comfort, warmth, this home of the heart, but the wear resistance is not always on top due to the possibility of the appearance of puffs.
4. Matting, linen - indispensable for the upholstery of the sofa, where the basis is the country style (Provence, Country).

Synthetic materials in addition to democratic prices have the advantage of both hypoallergenic. Microfiber, made of 100% polyester (PE), not only mimics suede or silk, but also at a reasonable cost has practical and easy to clean. Fabrics made some collections, such as the familiar flock is treated with impregnation, in order to achieve water repellency and confer function "antikogot".

The large number of fabric manufacturers and are often their own standards, assigning categories sometimes do not correspond to reality. It stands on its own to pay attention to the following characteristics:

• the possibility of continuous use;
• material density (measured in grams / sq. m);
• Martindale test results showing the wear resistance (not less than 15,000 cycles, and better - more).

It should be remembered that the color and texture of intertwined. Picking up the rest of the interior trim to take into account the ability of different fabrics and finishing materials in different ways to express themselves when changing the lighting.

Location for installation

Very often it has been a window seat corner sofa. For a standard rectangular room it becomes salvation. The configuration of multiple transformed, without pulling the room visually more strongly, as occurs in the placement line. Council has not arranged the furniture along the walls often do not work from the word "absolutely" when the floor area does not exceed 15-18 square meters. m.

But placing a sofa by the window, will be faced with other realities - radiator and window design:

• Leather elements by finding the closest to the heat source will suffer most of all, rastreskivayas and changing the color to a pale, which, incidentally, can occur from falling bright sunlight.
• Sleeping near a radiator - not very comfortable in the winter.
• Too high back sometimes prevents the opening of the frame.
• The close proximity of curtains, textile significant element in the design of the living room, require a special, extremely accurate color compatibility.

Not all models have a variable angle of a shift of armrests: There is only left or only right.

Flats open-plan rooms or square - a great way to pokreativit with furniture, setting the sofa, not only along the wall (or even two). In this case, care must be taken to perform the back of the sofa, there may setting a long console. This allows you to zone the space, creating functional segments in its sole discretion.

• decorative edging, contrasting to the main upholstery, such as velvet;
• fringe in finishing bottom - interesting addition, not hackneyed in mass production;
• seams outwardly visible and contrast.

If there are no restrictions on the area, in this case, the very form of a soft zone can be a interesting detail of the interior. Not only the correct geometrical configuration has a right to exist. Semicircular models with fleecy padding, pleasant to the touch, recreate real lounge area.
