Double upholstered furniture
A two-seat sofa can be a small compact model. The length varies from 150 to 250 cm, depth - from 90 cm. It should be noted that miniature models are most often not intended for proper rest. In the premium segment, these are beautiful sofas for offices, billiard rooms, halls, or for an additional soft area in the living room. In our model range you can choose compact sofas with a built-in full-fledged sleeping place. Furniture for lying down is at least 2 meters, and one-and-a-half sizes of increased comfort have a length of 220–250 cm and a depth of more than 100 cm.
Upholstery for sofa bed
For a sofa that will be used as a sleeping place, upholstery related to jacquard fabrics is suitable . For example, velor, chenille, tapestry . All upholstery material is certified, so when purchasing, ask for a quality certificate . Pay attention to abrasion resistance , it should be 20 thousand cycles or more . An important indicator is density , which must be at least 200 g/m2 . It is important that pilling does not appear on the sofa, so choose non-pilling fabrics (that have withstood 500 rubbing cycles). Additional impregnation or spraying increases the service life of upholstery fabric.
Three seater sofas
There are elite straight sofas with a length of 300 cm, but common sizes are 260–270 cm. Therefore, roomy two-seater models are more popular - they are almost as large and at the same time compact. But a three-seater sofa is most often modular. You can add a section, and this is an additional 50–70 cm in length. If you place a pouf on the side, you get a spacious canape.
How much does a sofa book weigh on average?
The weight of a book sofa can be very different. Its weight is influenced by various factors: type of construction, dimensions, frame materials.
A classic book with spacious drawers for three seats will weigh up to 90 kg. The lightest in weight are models with pine frames and foam mattresses on a chipboard backing. Their weight can be less than 70 kg.
Average weight of a sofa book: 50-85 kg.
The cost of a book sofa depends on the type of its design, materials of manufacture, brand, transformation mechanism, dimensions. The simplest economy class models with polyurethane foam filling, a wooden frame and velor upholstery cost from 5,000 rubles, which is quite inexpensive. The price for upholstered furniture from a well-known manufacturer with filling from independent spring blocks and higher quality upholstery will be around 15,000 rubles and more.
In conclusion, it is worth noting that book sofas are universal furniture pieces. They are suitable both as an extra bed and as just sitting places. This furniture goes on sale in a huge assortment. Manufacturers produce them in various types of designs, dimensions, materials of covers and fillers.
Many models are equipped with additional accessories (footrest, linen drawers, armrests, tables). Each buyer decides which option to choose for himself, based on his needs, the characteristics of the room, the purpose of the furniture and his financial situation.
Hello, Stepan!
When purchasing, you need to obtain information about the permissible load on the mechanism. These data are indicated in the model description, otherwise check with the seller. Ask what is the maximum weight the sofa you like can withstand. In addition, it matters whether the furniture will be used daily or is a guest option. Important characteristics when choosing a durable sofa are a strong frame, stable, non-wobbly legs and a reliable transformation mechanism.
Choosing a mechanism for transforming upholstered furniture
- The roll-out mechanism is considered one of the most reliable and durable. It is designed for numerous transformations and is suitable for everyday use. It is easy to unfold and put away. There is a special belt loop hidden under the seat; by pulling it, you will force the front part to move forward and the back to take its place. Models equipped with this mechanism usually have a spacious and flat sleeping surface. When folded, they take up little space. This sofa can be installed close to the wall.
- “Tick-tock” is an improved and modernized “Eurobook”. The sofa mechanism extends the seat and reclines the backrest. An improvement on the previous mechanism consists of mechanically lifting the seat above the floor as a result of transforming the sofa.
- “Click-clack” - sofas with this transformation mechanism are distinguished by the absence of cracks and depressions in the sleeping area. In addition, they are more comfortable due to the possibility of choosing positions: “lying”, “half-sitting” or “sitting”.
- It may be worth considering the option of a corner sofa - the mechanism of such furniture is little involved, and since this part is one of the most vulnerable, a static sofa is more durable.
Spring blocks and heavy weight
For a heavy person, the correct choice of spring blocks is also important. In this case, “Bonnel” is recommended - in these blocks the radius of support of the spring coil is consistently reduced. As a result, the spring is easily compressed at the beginning of the load, and becomes tighter as the load increases. If you weigh more than 110 kg, you should carefully consider this option. Consider the disadvantage of this type of springs - they are interconnected. As a result, when you press on one spring, you also affect the others. Therefore, this type of spring blocks does not adapt well to the shape of the human body. An independent bloc does not have these shortcomings. But it is not suitable if the load on the furniture is above 110 kg.
Elite corner sofas
Beautiful and comfortable proportions: the depth of the side modules is 60% of the length of the main part, and it varies depending on the number of seats. The average base size is 3 m. The minimum for a three-seater model is 2.6 m, for a four-seater U-shaped sofa is 3.5 m. The maximum perimeter length is limited only by the size of the room, since all corner sofas are modular.
What affects the weight of the sofa
Two externally identical models can differ in weight by tens of kilograms. A solid wood sofa or ottoman will be heavier than a corner sofa with a wood or chipboard frame. Based on this, several signs can be identified that will affect the weight of such a product:
- Frame material. Metal products will always be heavier than wooden ones. In turn, products made from solid wood weigh more than similar furniture with a frame made of chipboard or fiberboard.
- Complexity of design. The more elements in the frame of the product, the greater the weight. The same applies to complex mechanisms that can add extra pounds.
- Dimensions. For example, in terms of total weight, a single-seat ottoman will be lighter than a corner sofa.
In rare cases, you can take pillows and soft parts of furniture into account. Usually their weight does not exceed 5-10 kg.
When subjectively assessing weight, an indirect factor is the comfort of the grip and the dimensions of the furniture. Large, angular models that are difficult to grasp will always feel heavier.
Optimal height and depth of sofas
The backrest is a support for the spine, so its height needs to be given special attention. The top line at 60 cm from the floor is suitable only for children's models. A sofa for a living room should have a back wall height of at least 70 cm. There is also taller furniture, from 90 to 100 cm. For the area near the window, you need a model with a height of no more than 80 cm or with lowering headrests, otherwise the back will overlap the window sill.
The depth of upholstered furniture varies from 100 to 150 cm. Narrow sofas are uncomfortable for relaxation, so premium upholstered furniture factories produce models with increased depth. A sunken seat is the best option for relaxation. Here the spine needs special support, so backrests with an anatomical curve (tilt angle of about 110°) or removable backrest cushions that can be moved to adjust a comfortable position are relevant.
What height of the sofa from the floor is considered standard?
If you follow the established standards, the sofa seat should be at a height equal to 42 centimeters from the floor level. Deviation from this indicator is allowed within the range from 35 to 48 centimeters. The height of the seat largely depends on the material from which it is made. So, if its soft part is stuffed with synthetic down or a similar filler, then it can be located at a height of 50-55 centimeters. Sitting on such a seat, a person will push its weight down to the required 45-centimeter height.
When purchasing a sofa, it is important to take into account the condition and age of its future owner. For older people with difficulty moving, tall and hard furniture will be more comfortable to use than something soft and low. A child will prefer furniture with a low seat - this way he can climb on it independently and will not be afraid of falling.
In addition to the seat of the sofa, the back is of great importance. As a rule, its size is 90 centimeters. Small deviations from this value are allowed - they should be 20 centimeters up and down. The dimensions of the backrest are directly related to the design of the furniture, the number of seats and the area of the room in which it is installed. The back should not cover the armrests - it should be at the same level with them or be lower.
For the most convenient use of a sofa, when purchasing, you should pay attention to some of its parameters. These include:
- the seat depth should be at least 50 centimeters;
- seat depth of collapsible models is at least 70 centimeters;
- the height of the armrests measured from the surface of the seat is from 12 to 35 centimeters;
- The length of the furniture depends on its model and is allowed up to three meters.
In general, such a dimensional indicator as length directly depends on the individual characteristics of the design you choose. If it cannot be disassembled, but is determined to be suitable for sleeping, then its seat length should be at least 186 cm. If the sofa is collapsible, then its shorter length is allowed - from 70 centimeters. However, its sleeping area when disassembled should still be at least 186 cm in length.
How to choose upholstered furniture by size
Furniture design has virtually no effect on comfort; it creates the atmosphere: an expensive leather sofa makes the interior look solid, while textile upholstery creates an aura of comfort. To create a comfortable soft zone, you need to rely on the dimensions of the furniture.
The more spacious the sofa, the more comfortable the rest. So if the living room is spacious, buy a corner modular sofa of the largest possible size and a mini sofa as a set. Just don't block the passages. There should be 50, or preferably 70, cm around the furniture, including when unfolded. Please note that when transformed, “Eurobook” type furniture becomes twice as wide, and the sleeping area is extended along the wall. The roll-out sofa folds forward and increases by 120–150 cm.
A compact straight sofa is a common choice for a small room. Based on the norms (50 cm per person), a model with a length of 1.8–2 m will be enough for a married couple and a child. But, in fact, this is not so. A double sofa, even at 2.5 m, is intended for a maximum of two people, otherwise you will have to huddle. The choice for a family is a three-seater model, preferably a corner one. Despite its massive appearance, a corner sofa can save space. Just place it in the corner of the room.
On our website you can buy a premium sofa in any size. There are double, triple and corner upholstered furniture. Almost all sofas are modular; upon request, we will customize the layout to suit the area and geometry of your living room.
How a sofa book unfolds and folds
Photo: Operating principle of the book-sofa transformation mechanism
The book-sofa is equipped with a unique transformation mechanism that provides a flat sleeping place. There are two types of layout:
- The classic version (see photo above) is equipped with an extremely simple mechanism. It has only two moving parts - a back and a seat. To unfold the furniture, you need to lift the seat up and lower the back onto the frame. The seat rises until a click is heard. Then it goes down, forming a sleeping place;
- Roll-out book. The sofa is convenient because it does not need to be moved away from the wall. It is enough to slightly push the mechanism forward and unfold it according to a similar principle as described above.
A classic sofa book should not be placed close to the wall, since when unfolding it you will have to move it away each time.
Product height depending on type
Little attention is paid to the height of sofas, while the backrest is an important support for the spine.
The lowest sofa height is found in models for children's rooms.
Modular sofas are close to this indicator: their back height is 70 centimeters.
The lowest sofa height is found in models for children's rooms. These types sometimes do not even exceed the 60 cm mark. Modular sofas are close to this indicator: their back height is 70 centimeters.
When choosing the size of your sofa, be judicious.
In a large family, three-seater corner sofas, one-and-a-half-size fold-out products, etc. are needed.
