It is understandable that the direct purpose of upholstered furniture is to comfortably rest on it and get enough sleep. Also, it's no secret that nowadays you can choose the desired model for every taste - from the color of upholstery, filler, form (angular, rectangular and even rounded), the size to some unusual design solutions.

But if you are attracted by the appearance, you can lose sight of one significant moment on which your cozy rest depends, a cheerful look and a good mood are the mechanisms for transforming sofas.

Of course, if you do not plan to use this furniture as a full-length bedroom kit (that is, it will be an everyday option for casual guests or simply an element of decor), then you may not think about such details as the mechanisms for sofas. But in the event that you do not have excess free space, such a decision seems to be the only possible one! This will allow you to keep the precious centimeters of the room and at the same time provide a decent bed replacement. It remains only to choose such a kind of upholstered furniture that fits all the decorative parameters, requests, and the mechanism for transforming the sofas will fully cope with the function assigned to it.

Currently, you can find such designs: those that can be unfolded, which should be deployed and designed for pushing. The first type includes the so-called "books" and "click-clack." These mechanisms are the most common and have long been used. Furniture with this technology is easy to decompose, it has a department where you can store laundry and add items if necessary. The disadvantage is that you have to slightly move the sofa, laying it, so it will not stand against the wall, and it will be necessary to leave a reserve of about 25 cm for normal functioning.

The emerging furniture contains such mechanisms for the transformation of sofas as "dolphin", "eurobook" and some of their subspecies ("kangaroo", "breeze"). They are very popular, since they have proved themselves well in the domestic buyer. Such a sofa is disassembled by rolling out the seat, with the backrest lying horizontally. Equipped with linen drawers. Reliable enough in operation. The unfolding mechanisms: "French" and "American clamshell", "accordion". They are recommended for daily use, compact in nondestructive condition, quickly and easily unfolded (just pull the system forward, slightly lifting up). The clamshells do not contain any parts for storage of accessories, unlike the "accordion", where such a possibility is envisaged. At the heart of unfolding is the principle of accordion.

These are the main types of designs of modern upholstered furniture. But whichever one you choose, be aware that absolutely all the mechanisms for transforming sofas should be comfortable, durable, reliable, highly functional and practical in everyday life.
