Sofa book dimensions

Three decades ago, French furniture makers developed the very first folding furniture. Everyone has known the sofa “book” since childhood. Today it is also in demand. The transformation design is used by manufacturers of inexpensive furniture. New species have been developed on its basis. The Eurobook is especially popular. There is a click-clack model. It differs from the usual “book”, which has a standard size, by transformable armrests. It is possible to extend the sofa into a reclining position. These varieties successfully compete with more expensive models.

Sofa book - design features

The sleeping area consists of a backrest and a seat. The spring transformation mechanism connects the parts of the future berth. The classic “book” is easy to unfold: you need to lift the seat up, press it against the back until it clicks and pull it forward. The seat will move and the back will take its place.

IMPORTANT! When the seat is raised, a spacious box for storing bedding items opens.

It’s easy to use, but the “book” is not without its drawbacks:

• Furniture cannot be placed close to the wall. There should be free space between the sofa and the wall to maneuver the layout. Otherwise it will be impossible to decompose.
• To unfold the furniture you need to make an effort.It will not be easy for a fragile girl or child to disassemble such a mechanism.
• The design feature does not allow us to develop a corner version on its basis. All models are straight sofas.

Despite the shortcomings, the “book” remains a favorite model. “The Book,” known to everyone since childhood, is still just as popular today. Wooden beams and plywood are also used in the production of the frame; the weight of the sofa reaches 78 kg. The contents of the bed may consist of a box spring, polyurethane material, or a box spring supplemented with a polyurethane top layer.

REFERENCE! The best would be an orthopedic sleeping place, in which each spring is packed in a separate case. The cost of such furniture is higher. Sleeping on such a sofa is very comfortable.

Dimensions of the sofa model

The sofa book has different sizes. Mass-produced furniture is designed for the average height and weight of customers. Expensive models are usually made to order, with other sizes.

The “book” is traditionally produced with two types of sleeping accommodation. The time-tested equipment is still in great demand today:

• The one-and-a-half sofa, when unfolded, is available in two sizes: 120 cm wide and 190 cm long; 120 cm wide and 200 cm long. The second configuration is suitable for people whose height is above average.
• Double, converts into a spacious bed 160 cm by 200 cm.

In this model, releasing other sizes, for example, with a wider seat and backrest, means making it uncomfortable when sitting. Even with a seat width of 80 cm, which corresponds to half the sleeping space of a double sofa, you need to place a pillow under your back. The person's back should rest on the back of the sofa.When she is far away, the sofa becomes uncomfortable to sit on. Double models are equipped with decorative pillows, this is beautiful and necessary for ergonomics.

Eurobook sofa dimensions

Based on the book sofa, a new design, the Eurobook, was developed; it is also called a “roll-out sofa.” This is a more modern model. It differs from its predecessor in a number of advantages:

• Can be placed close to the wall. The design allows it to be unfolded in this position.
• Unfolds easily, without effort. Even a child can handle this
• The design of the mechanism allows you to complete the furniture with an ottoman. Corner sofas are very popular with customers and are in great demand.
• The ottoman attachment, in turn, is complemented by a spacious box, which is very important in small apartments.
• The large box is located under the seat, so you no longer have to lift the heavy seat to get to it. It opens after rolling the seat forward, thanks to the rollers, this is very easy to do.

The straight Eurobook does not differ in size from its predecessor. When equipped with an ottoman, the size of the bed increases significantly: the width remains the same, but the length increases to 220 cm or more. This configuration can be recommended to buyers with above average height.

To transform, you just need to pull the seat forward. With a base on rollers, it will easily give way and move forward. In its place a large box for bedding will open. To form a sleeping place, the box is closed with a backrest. The back and seat make up a sleeping place, devoid of height differences and gaps.

IMPORTANT! For everyday use, you only need to provide a reliable floor covering.

Advantages of the model

The “book” is a very simple mechanism. It rarely breaks and is inexpensive to repair. For most, this is a well-known part of the interior. In the conditions of modern furniture production, the old model has acquired new properties.

It is possible to choose an option that takes into account all the buyer’s requirements. The click-clack model has three layout positions. The only model in this price range that has a reclining position. The Eurobook will be chosen for its ease of layout and the ability to be equipped with an ottoman. If there is room for a large modular configuration, the Eurobook is also beyond competition. The orthopedic sleeping place takes into account the needs of customers with spinal problems. This type of sleeping place is the most ergonomic. The abundance of colors of upholstery materials makes it possible to best fit the purchase into the interior of the room. The quality of modern materials allows you to maintain the excellent appearance of the sofa for a long time. Such coatings are easy to clean. The relatively low price will be the last argument in favor of purchasing.
