Accordion sofa dimensions

Buying furniture for your home is not an easy task and requires users to think through a lot of details. And this applies not only to the style of interior items or production materials, but also to such issues as the size of the products. Knowing the exact parameters of upholstered furniture is important even if a sofa or chair is purchased for spacious rooms, and even more so this characteristic is important for products purchased for small rooms. Today, a fairly popular type of sofa design is the “accordion” type.

Accordion sofa dimensions

The “accordion” type of transformation assumes the presence of a 1-piece seat and 2-piece backrest. In this case, all three parts are interconnected into a single structure. To disassemble such a product, you need to slightly lift the seat and pull it forward until all three elements are in an even horizontal position. The peculiarity of the sofa is that its sleeping place consists of a complete mattress, which means that during sleep the user will not feel discomfort from the recesses and joints that are found in upholstered furniture of other designs. As a rule, such products are supplied with an orthopedic mattress.

To understand how to choose the right interior items for a specific room in the house, it is imperative to know about such a characteristic as the size of the sofa.

Upholstered furniture with this version of the transformation mechanism is presented in numerous standard sizes.When purchasing, you need to pay attention to parameters such as depth, height and width of the products. It is worth saying that most consumers look only at the width of the sofa, because the ability to place the product in certain conditions depends on this, for example, placing a sofa between an armchair and a closet so as not to block the passage, and so on. However, importance should also be given to such a characteristic as the depth of upholstered furniture, since the comfort of sitting depends on it. Sofas with an “accordion” mechanism, that is, folding forward, have an average length and width, but the sleeping area can be quite voluminous.

Important! When buying furniture, you should take into account not only the size when folded, but also the parameters of the sleeping place. When choosing a sofa, you need to decide for what purpose it is intended. For example, if you plan to only receive guests on it, then it is better to choose a product with a large width when folded - 130-140 cm, and if the sofa is supposed to be used as a sleeping place, then it is important to take care of a sufficient length when unassembled: 190- 200 cm.

Standard sizes

Despite the fact that many manufacturers make furniture according to their own parameters and even according to individual customer sizes, in many countries there are standard characteristics, thanks to which you can always purchase convenient and comfortable upholstered furniture. Anthropometric studies help determine the dimensional limits that furniture should fit. In particular, for a comfortable position for a person in a sitting position, there must be at least 50 cm of free space on the seat, and if the user wants to lie down, this parameter increases to 70 cm.

The standard length is considered to be 190-200 cm; as a rule, such parameters are quite enough for a comfortable pastime.

What other sizes are there?

The sizes of accordion sofas offered by modern manufacturers can be as follows:

• length – 75-225 cm;
• depth – 95-116 cm;
• height – 87-110 cm.

It is also worth saying that today every buyer can purchase not only sofas from the standard line, but also order furniture according to individual parameters. It is only important to take into account how the upholstered furniture will fit into the interior, as well as how comfortable it will be for users to sit on it.
