Assembly instructions for the Askona Antares sofa

Sofa "Karina"

The main advantage of the Karina sofa is that it is large, but takes up little space in the room. In addition, it has an anatomical mattress, which Ascona (online store) specializes in. It is transformed using a MultiComfort mechanism called an “accordion”. The mattress is high, has from 3 to 7 zones. The Nanopocket spring block of 15 thousand independent springs is designed to make sitting on the sofa and sleeping on it comfortable.

To make it comfortable to sit on the sofa, the mattress has a knee support system. The back has a slope that is comfortable for sitting.

The design of the sofa is without any special pretensions; it is made in a minimalist style. Comfortable armrests provide comfort and coziness. They are covered with fabric.

Anatomical mattresses

An anatomical or orthopedic mattress is distinguished by the fact that it itself adapts to the contours of the person lying on it. It allows you to rest well, relax and prevents the development of such a dangerous disease as scoliosis.

Orthopedic mattresses are made from:

Bonnell dependent springs;
blocks of independent springs;
without springs, including latex ones.

Orthopedic mattresses have different hardness. The older a person is, the softer the mattress he needs.

The choice of mattress also depends on the weight of the sleeper. If he is less than 60 kg, then he needs to take a product of medium hardness. If you weigh from 60 to 90 kg, you can sleep on anything.

People weighing more than 90 kg need to take a firmer mattress. Athletes should sleep on hard ones, and people with intervertebral hernias should sleep on soft ones.

You can use a product with double-sided rigidity. One side of this mattress is hard, the other is softer. When you feel normal, you can sleep on the soft side, and if pain occurs, turn it over to the hard side.

In some cases (after surgery or injury), you need to consult a doctor about which mattress to choose.

Mattress

Its height is 16 cm. This is more than other sofas. Usually it is not possible to achieve such dimensions for an accordion mechanism. To keep the springs stable, there is a special box around the perimeter of the mattress. The mattress is made from cotton felt and the same cover that covers the Karina sofa (Ascona). Reviews say that the mattress has a zipper, but it is unlikely that it will be possible to remove it at home. After all, they put it on using a special device. The cover has a special impregnation against dust mites. The mattress is filled with Orthofoarm foam, cut into shapes. It acts on the sleeping body like a massager.

Some users say the mattress is too soft. But for many this is exactly what they need. The mattress does not sag; the person lying on it simply seems to sink into the atmosphere of sleep.

Sofa Carina

For a classic-style room, many consumers choose the Carina straight sofa. Its advantages:

strict, laconic design; compact folded dimensions; orthopedic mattress with an exclusive block of independent springs; calm, noble colors.

Are you looking at the sofa "Karina" ("Ascona")? Reviews will help you make sure you made the right choice. Many consumers note the ease of use in a small apartment. At the same time, buyers appreciated a fairly comfortable sleeping place with exclusive dimensions of 140 by 210 cm.

Transformation mechanism "Multicomfort"

This mechanism is the development of Swedish engineers. For its production, a metal frame and birch slats were used. It is designed according to the “accordion” principle, but converted into a real Ascona mattress. Therefore, it opens up like an “accordion”, and its mattress height is higher than usual.

The peculiarity of this transformation mechanism is that the mattress is not fixed at the headboard. Therefore, you cannot sit on an unfolded sofa in this place. But you can put the pillow quietly while sleeping. But does this suit those who bought the Karina (Ascona) sofa?

Customer reviews say that because of this feature they sleep with their heads down, which does not suit them at all. And some are forced to take the mattress out of the sofa every evening and sleep on the floor!

It raises doubts among buyers whether the springs in the covers can last long if the mattress is constantly bent. They say that an independent spring block cannot be bent.

Pouf "Karina"

They will form a single set. The pouf can be attached using a special device to the sofa corner sofa. It has a dual purpose. You can sit on it or hide things inside by opening the lid on top. You can sit on the sofa and put your feet on the pouf to rest.

But look carefully at the shades of color. Customer reviews indicate that sometimes “Karina” sofas are made from fabrics of various shades. That is, different parts of one sofa are sewn from material of different shades. The manufacturer does not agree to recognize this “effect” as a defect, saying that a difference in tone of 1-2 tones is allowed.

The pouf is made of high-quality materials: chipboard, plywood. The filler is furniture foam. The price of the pouf is about 14 thousand rubles.

Corner sofa with small canapé

The corner sofa “Karina” with a small canape is very convenient for a small apartment or small room. Canapés can be installed on either side of the sofa, which is very convenient when rearranging. If there is a Karina canape on one side of the main part of the sofa, the furniture is placed on the other. During the day the sofa is folded. But two people can relax and lie down on it: one on the sofa itself, the second on the sofa. Its back can be removed and used as a pillow. Although the pillows themselves are included in some models. Inside the canape there is a spacious box where you can hide your bed for the day. There are models with an additional drawer under the sofa seat. But it is not so roomy. The mechanism for lifting the base of the sofa for laying down the bed works easily and is quite reliable.

At night, take the folded part of the sofa by the bottom of the mattress with one hand and pull it towards you. The back easily unfolds, moving forward. The mattress should be slightly leveled with your hands. The width of the unfolded part is slightly larger than the length of the canape. It turns out to be a wide double sofa bed “Karina” with an orthopedic mattress.

The price of a corner sofa with canapes is from 80 thousand rubles.

Upholstery color: from baked milk and creamy to dark, bitter chocolate.

Straight sofa “Karina” with laundry box

Length 2 m, width 90 cm. You can put things in the box only when the “Karina” sofa is in the unfolded position. Price - from 50 thousand rubles. But there are often discounts on various products, sometimes reaching up to 50% of the original cost.

Although buyers doubt that the prices for these sofas correspond to the cost, since they can be regularly halved.

If a thing is used for its intended purpose, then its service life is usually long. with an orthopedic mattress is designed specifically for sleeping and, accordingly, is ideal for daily use. After all, while relaxing on such a sofa, your body is completely restored. In this article we will look at all the positive and negative aspects of upholstered furniture with an orthopedic bed.

The main and main advantage of a sofa bed with an orthopedic mattress is its ease of daily use. After all, it was invented for sleep. The internal structure of the sleeping place is designed in such a way that the load from the weight of your body is evenly distributed over the entire area, and the mattress takes the shape of all the curves of your body. Tension is relieved from the spine and you sleep like a righteous person, and in the morning you get up completely rested. Therefore, if your family has a question about purchasing a sofa, be sure to consider an orthopedic sofa bed.

Main component

This criterion is very different in sofa beds. There are several types of orthopedic components:

independent spring blocks;
high quality elastic polyurethane foam;
combination of polyurethane foam and zonal blocks.

The minimum thickness of polyurethane foam should be 8 centimeters, and the blocks of independent springs are made of alloy steel.

The weight of a person is of great importance when choosing this sleeping surface. The heavier the buyer, the denser and stiffer the polyurethane foam should be.

The following video will tell you how to choose a sofa bed with an orthopedic mattress:

Mattress

The most ideal mattress for sleeping is a combination of zone spring blocks with thick polyurethane foam.

But you can’t hide such a sleeping place in every sofa. The “American folding bed” (invented specifically for comfortable sleep) and the modernized “accordion” are considered ideal for a thick orthopedic mattress. Only with the help of these devices is it possible to lay out a perfectly flat sleeping area, in which there will be no joints or seams. This is the main criterion for orthopedic upholstered furniture.

Such a mattress simply will not fit into other transformation mechanisms or will not be compatible in design. That's why combined sofas were invented, where not only the sleeping place is orthopedic, but also the seat.

The following video will tell you how to choose an orthopedic mattress:

Base

The widest use of orthopedic bases is found in the segment of corner modular systems and sofa beds. With the help of the “dolphin” and “jaguar” transformation mechanisms, the orthopedic berth emerges from the depths of the sofa and fits tightly to the base based on independent spring blocks covered with polyurethane foam.

Spending leisure time with the whole family on such furniture is both convenient and useful. All the stress is removed from the spine, and the blood vessels begin to work with redoubled force, ensuring blood flow to the internal organs, which has a generally positive effect on health. Therefore, pay attention to upholstered furniture, where both the sleeping place and the base are orthopedic.

Step-by-step instruction

How to assemble an accordion sofa in the morning and unfold it in the evening? This process can be confusing, but after repeating the procedure a couple of times, you will easily be able to do it every day.

When you see an accordion sofa, how it folds out is the first question that arises in the minds of many. Let's start with the folding:

Grasp the seat from below with both hands and lift it until the safety mechanism clicks.
Pull the system towards you while simultaneously stepping back. The backrest will unfold, the blocks will become a single, flat surface.

How to fold the accordion sofa back:

Grasp the bottom edge of the seat, push it in or roll it towards the backrest so that the transformation mechanism folds into its original position.
Raise the seat until you hear a characteristic click so that the safety lock latches and the sofa does not move away on its own.

Important! Learn how to fold the structure correctly to avoid operational problems.

It will be difficult to lift and drag a wide sofa, so when purchasing, pay attention to the presence of wheels on the seat. Then it will be enough to snap off the first module, place it on the floor, and roll it out until it is fully laid out.

The photo shows a diagram of the transformation of the sofa mechanism

Important! Low-quality hard wheels scratch parquet and laminate flooring - replace them with silicone or rubberized analogues so as not to spoil the floor covering every time you unfold the sofa. It is also better to remove carpets and rugs in the path of the folding accordion.

If the mechanism is working properly, disassembling and assembling the accordion sofa should not cause difficulties. Any jams or difficulties indicate improper assembly or problems in the design. Most often they suffer:

Wheels. Have you noticed that over time the device has become difficult to drive? Check, change the small wheels, this should help.
Slat accessories. The batten fasteners do not affect the ability to pull out the sofa, but they cause inconvenience during sleep. Replacing them is easy, just buy the required quantity at a furniture store and replace the damaged ones.
Frame hinges. They are the most mobile element. A quick tightening of the bolts and a quick lube (repeat every 6-12 months) is often enough to make the structure usable again. A broken loop that no longer works will have to be purchased and replaced completely.
Frame. Poor-quality welds and the use of low-grade material lead to bends, cracks, and other damage. The element can be welded or a new one can be ordered.

Types by shape and materials

Sofa beds with orthopedic mattresses come in completely different types and are made in almost all existing types of upholstery. Here is a small list of types of orthopedic upholstered furniture:

double sofa bed with orthopedic mattress and “American folding bed”, “accordion” transformation mechanism;
three-seater sofa bed with the same folding devices;
corner modular system with a “dolphin” or “jaguar” mechanism.

Occasionally there are orthopedic sofas with a “roll-out” transformer or based on a modified “French folding bed”, but this is rather an exception to the rule. There are absolutely no orthopedic sleeping places for sofa beds with a mattress with a folding device “book”, “eurobook” and “click-click”. The only solution is to buy a separate mattress. Before each bedtime, you will have to put him on an already laid out bed. This is extremely inconvenient, given that in the morning the mattress will have to be put somewhere.

There are a variety of upholstery materials, but let's face it, fabric orthopedic sofas are preferable. Of the samples in leather, the corner models are quite good. A few words about what types of fabric upholstered furniture are:

chenille One of the strongest and most durable materials. Cleans well;
flock Very reliable and long-lasting, but afraid of moisture and animal claws;
velours. Beautiful and velvety, pleasant to the touch. But there is one drawback - it is easy to wipe off;
matting It is made on the basis of burlap, which means it is very durable. Among the shortcomings, we note that it is not very pleasant to the touch;
jacquard. The latest in fashion. It looks impressive and comes in a whole range of colors. Not practical at all, wears out and fades quickly. Afraid of water.
faux suede. Easily withstands attacks from pets, durable and practical. Does not tolerate moisture.
