Compact sleeping sofas

A transformable sofa, capable of turning into a sleeping place, can provide owners with an invaluable service in a situation where it is impossible to provide overnight accommodation for a guest in other rooms.

Difficulty of choice

The process of choosing a folding sofa for the kitchen is limited by several factors.

The main role in the choice is played by ease of use, the required area in the assembled and disassembled state, reliability, efficiency of the entire structure and transformation mechanisms, design and functionality of the upholstery.

How to choose a good sofa based on the size of the room

The choice is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. It would be nice to hide the shortcomings of the room, highlight the advantages, not forgetting about aesthetics and functionality.

Furniture with soft armrests or no armrests at all, and parts that do not protrude too much, is safest for a small room.

It happens that you remember about the small legs under the sofa only at the moment when once again, while walking, you find them with your toes. This happens when the gap between the roll-out box and the floor is wide enough, and the legs also serve a decorative function. That is, they are shifted closer to the front edge. Beautiful. But sometimes it hurts a lot.

For a sofa with a sliding mechanism, you need to leave free space in front of it. For a “book” - move it a little away from the wall so as not to leave marks on the wallpaper from frequent unfolding.

The most practical option for a small living room is a straight sofa with two or three seats. If you like to receive guests, a small corner option for five to six people is suitable.

Models of sofas for the kitchen

Owners of apartments with small kitchens often opt for corner structures.

Corner sofas save space that is in short supply, provide space for storing bedding and other things, and also provide residents with a full-fledged place to sleep.

In miniature kitchens, where it is impossible to expand the sofa, they install a sofa without the possibility of transformation, but with a voluminous bottom drawer and additional shelves that can be decorated with souvenirs or a flower vase.

For studio apartments, folding sofas with semicircular outlines are suitable, capable of turning into a comfortable place to sleep at night.

Practicality

In a small space, you should choose upholstered furniture without hard corners and protruding elements, so as not to get injured when moving.

Since there is only one room, most likely it is not just a living room, but also a bedroom. And if more than one person lives in the apartment, then you should provide a large sleeping place and choose a sofa with a folding mechanism. There are many variations of mechanisms, and each of them has advantages and disadvantages that need to be taken into account:

the book and click-clack are placed away from the wall;
Euro-book and roll-out must have free space in front of them;
The accordion should not stand close to the wall or have any obstacles in front of it.

The most compact mechanism is the accordion. Unlike the others, it unfolds not two, but three times its original size, which significantly saves space.

Any option is suitable for one person. And if there are two people living in an apartment and you need to save a lot of space, then the ideal option is a straight sofa with an accordion mechanism. Although many people prefer corner sofas, due to the large space for relaxation when folded.

In your opinion, what shape of sofa is best to buy for a one-room apartment? Straight or angular?

Modular options

Using such models, you can change the configuration and location of individual furniture elements. The set often includes shelves for books, a small bar and built-in drawers for storing kitchen utensils.

When choosing, one should not forget about the reliability and strength of the parts of the transformation mechanism, and their silent operation.

Requirements for a sofa with a sleeper

Among the main requirements for compact folding sofas:

Simplicity and safety of operation. Even inexpensive small sofas with a berth should be equipped with a convenient transformation mechanism: one that will work smoothly and easily, without posing a danger to those who use it.
Practicality. The sofa should be equally comfortable both folded and unfolded. It is better to choose seats that are soft enough, but elastic, and the sleeping place, if necessary, can be equipped with an orthopedic mattress.

Strength. Despite its modest size, the sofa can be often used by both family members and guests. Therefore, it is worth making sure that its design is able to withstand a sufficiently large weight.
Wear resistance. Frequent use of the transformation mechanism can quickly damage the fittings and individual elements of the sofa, for example, ruin the appearance. Therefore, first of all, you should choose a model equipped with high-quality fittings and durable upholstery.
Environmentally friendly. The materials used in the construction of the sofa must be safe, especially if the furniture is in the kitchen or children's room. It is better to choose upholstery from natural or semi-synthetic materials that are easy to clean and do not accumulate dust.

When choosing a sofa for your home, take the choice seriously, because a sofa, like any interior detail, can either embellish and diversify it or ruin it

The horizontal plane rests on a spacer made of metal horseshoe-shaped arcs. The sleeping place is ready in literally a matter of seconds. The disadvantages of such a bed are that it consists of three parts and requires the use of an additional mattress. The durability of the mechanism depends on careful use and the weight of the sleeping person; in addition, it is not stable enough and is not recommended to be used every day.

Simplicity of unfolding is the key to the safety and durability of the mechanism. The advantage of the model is that this mechanism keeps the inner drawer free for storing things. Even when opened, such a sofa will retain enough space in the kitchen and will not require movement for transformation. But there is only one sleeping place.
