Folding sofa dimensions

A sofa is an irreplaceable piece of furniture that is found in almost every home or apartment. It is precisely because of its versatility that we often give preference to it when choosing between it and a bed. There are a lot of folding models on the market.

Types of folding sofas: shape and sizes

The size of the folding sofa and its shape directly depend on the size of the room and the chosen place for it. In order not to block the passage with a thoughtlessly purchased item, it is advisable to take measurements in advance of the part of the room where the upholstered furniture is supposed to be installed, taking into account its dimensions when assembled and unfolded. It is worth considering all models when choosing a folding sofa.

Corner sofas

Happy owners of spacious rooms can afford to choose a corner sofa model. It can accommodate several people at the same time comfortably and without interfering with each other, and when disassembled, it forms an ideal place to sleep, consisting of two even halves. The shape and size of corner products are very diverse.

• Letter G. A common model of a folding sofa. There are models in which the angle is moved to the side where it is more convenient. It is formed by an additional, non-demountable module-couch, which inside contains a compartment for linen and on it, it is convenient to sit deeply or recline.
• Letter P.These are sofas for spacious rooms, where furniture of modest dimensions will simply get lost and look pitiful and ridiculous. The corner sofa is attached to the required number of soft modules, which can be moved by the owner at his request. With their help, any shape can be given.

Direct

The usual placement option is along one wall. They are designed for different numbers of seats.

Double. Frequently chosen model. Good for tight spaces where every centimeter of space is important. According to medical standards, to take a comfortable sitting position, an adult needs a minimum of space - 50 cm, and for a comfortable night's rest, the area increases to 70 cm. Based on these dimensions, we conclude that if the sofa will be used not only during the day, but also for night sleep, then the width of the sleeping place (for 2 people) should be from 140 cm, and the total width - 160 or more.

Fold forward

The leader of the forward layout, in daily use, is the Accordion mechanism. When disassembled, the sleeping area is formed from a seat and two parts of the backrest. You just need to lift the seat until it clicks, and then pull all the parts out towards you.

Children's sofas and sofa couch

A sofa couch is a product intended for use by one person. It unfolds lengthwise, not widthwise, to a minimum of 180 cm. When disassembled, it resembles a single bed.

A depth of 80 cm is usually enough for a medium-sized adult or child, so couches are often installed in children's rooms. Their advantages are an easy layout, a spacious drawer for linen, and a uniform sleeping area.

Sofa for sleeping - how to choose

If a piece of furniture will be dismantled daily and two or more people will sleep on it, then the width of the sleeping place should be 160 cm or more, and the length 180–200 cm.

Try to choose an easy and fast transformation mechanism so that you can complete this procedure without unnecessary physical effort. Manufacturers are constantly developing new layout options that make our lives easier, but we should also not forget about time-tested mechanisms such as “book” and “dolphin”. To prevent back diseases, in order to avoid deflection of the spine and incorrect body position during sleep, select a product with a medium or hard mat, which contains an orthopedic block, supplemented with durable and dense material. Such a sofa will be able to provide complete rest and cloudless sleep to everyone who sits on it.
