Sofa with sleeping function. Buying a sofa bed.

Folding furniture, once an unpleasant necessity in apartments with small space, today a functional, tasteful solution for everyone! Why is it worth and which sofa with sleeping function to choose in order to enjoy its ergonomics and impeccable appearance for as long as possible?

For sleeping and resting

Not everyone can afford a separate bedroom with a large bed. A sofa with sleeping function will solve this problem! Folding sofa at night will act as a comfortable bed, while during the day, folded, it will be perfect as a sofa for resting, relaxing and watching a movie on TV. What to keep in mind when choosing a sofa? Before you go shopping at a furniture store, choose and carefully measure the place where you want to place the furniture. Why is this so important? When you unfold the sofa, you must have free space in the room. Check how much space in your living room you can allocate for the sofa and stick to these dimensions when shopping.

Functionality and solid workmanship

The sofa should not only match the interior, but also be durable, comfortable and uncomplicated to use. It is worth choosing a sofa that, in addition to the folding function, also has a bedding container. This will ensure that your comforter and pillow will always be at hand! When visiting a furniture store, pay special attention to the construction (the materials used, the solidity of the construction of the frames, legs, casters and hinges), as well as whether the sofa with sleeping function easily unfolds. The smoothness of the movements when unfolding the sofa will facilitate the daily metamorphosis from a sofa to a bed. Remember, you'll be doing this every day!"

Sleeper sofa unfolding systems

Differentsofas, have different types of unfolding. The unfolding mechanism should be of very good quality to serve us for many years, while its type, is an individual choice. In the offer of manufacturers you will find, among others:

1. Sofas with "dolphin" type unfolding. This is a system used most often in corner sofas, involving the placement of a carriage with a lift in the sofa.
   
   
2. Folding sofas by means of a flip-up backrest. The advantage of this type of unfolding is a sizable container for bedding.
   
   
3. Sofas with a Belgian folding system similar to the mechanisms used in field beds, where the sleeping surface of the sofa is a foam mattress. Usually sofas then do not have a bedding area.
   
   
4. Sofas with semi-belgian folding system having a forward pull-out carriage and two parts of the sleeping surface pulled out from it.
   
   
5. Sofas with an Italian folding system, similar to the Belgian mechanism, but the sleeping surface is more comfortable due to a mattress with bonell springs.
