Roll-out mechanism in sofas - how is it?

The sleeping place in the house plays an important role. Firstly, the sofa is chosen for more than one year, so it is necessary to select a multifunctional option. Secondly, the bed should be combined with the overall interior of the house. The sofa is part of the seating area for family and friends. Comfortably sitting on it, you can spend your evening leisure time after a hard day of work, and for some it also serves as a sleeping place. Therefore, when buying furniture, you should initially pay attention to the assembly structure, and only then focus on beauty.

Sofas with a roll-out mechanism - varieties

Are you wondering what a roll-out mechanism is in sofas? Let's try to figure this out:

• Roll-out.
• Dolphin.
• Eurobook.
• Conrad.
• Pantograph.

Next, we will consider each version of the withdrawable mechanism in more detail.

Operating principle

Sofa layout devices differ in durability and the effort put into creating a relaxation area. If a user buys a sofa for everyday use, as a place to sleep, then it is necessary to select a reliable mechanism. In addition, it is worth considering for whom the furniture is purchased; if it is a child, then the sofa should be easy to disassemble. All of the above devices differ in several criteria.

• Eurobook. This is a classic sofa with a retractable top on roll-out casters. The first part rolls out to create space for the backrest. Advantages:

1. Easy transformation.
2. Serves for many years.
3. Drawers for linen.

The only drawback is that the seat is wide; when folded, the backrest is far away.

• Dolphin. To unfold the sofa, you need to pull the special hinges up and towards you; the second segment forms a single unit with the back, creating a large sleeping area. Drawers for bed linen are located in non-rollable parts.

ATTENTION. The case must be made of durable materials, since the device places a large load on it.

Advantages:

1. Comfortable sleeping place.
2. Easy layout of the sofa.

The disadvantage of this transformation of the sofa is the fragility of the mechanism with constant use. When purchasing, pay attention to this point; perhaps this type of device is suitable for a living room or office.

• Pantograph. One of the varieties of the “tick-tock” version of the Eurobook, but without rollers. To disassemble the sofa, you need to pull the middle of the seat towards you, the device will work, and the second part will rise up and move away, forming a space where the backrest fits. Advantages:

1. Simplicity of the mechanism.
2. Does not leave marks on the floor.
3. Large and comfortable place to sleep.

The disadvantage is the cost; such a layout mechanism will cost the user a pretty penny.

• Roll-out sofa. This variation consists of three parts. Two segments forming a sleeping place are hidden inside the third. By pulling the lower part towards you, the mechanism rolls forward, and a pillow is placed in the resulting space. Advantages:

1. Compactness.
2. Simplicity of layout.
3. Durability of the mechanism.

The disadvantage of such a roll-out device is that the floor deteriorates with frequent use.

• Conrad. This type of device is also called a telescope due to the way the bed is laid out.By pulling the lower segment of the sofa, two parts will roll out one after the other.

REFERENCE. There is a high sleeping area, so the sofa is only suitable for adults.

Advantages:

1. Compactness.
2. Possibility to use every day without harming the mechanism and floor covering.
3. Comfortable sleeping place.

The only drawback of such a mechanism is its heavy weight, that is, such a sofa is not suitable for a children's room.

When purchasing furniture, be sure to consult with a specialist in the store. The client does not know many nuances when choosing, and the seller will not only answer all questions, but also select the best option based on the user’s wishes. If you choose the right sofa, it will last for many years without complaints.
