In small-sized apartments, there are often inconveniences associated with a lack of free space. This is especially felt when planning a bed. A classic bed can sometimes occupy the whole bedroom, and the sofa in the unfolded state rests on furniture. How to be in this case? There are several outlets, or arrange a pull-out / folding bed (can be mounted on the catwalk or wall), or purchase a chair-bed with the accordion mechanism. And if the first version needs a specially equipped place, then the second one can be installed in any part of the apartment. So, what do we know about the folding chair and what are the features of its operation? About this below.
Chair design
Externally, the chair-bed "accordion" is no different from an ordinary chair. It has a stylish appearance, very compact and comfortable. The only difference between this model is that it often does not have armrests. This is due to the peculiarities of operation - on a bed without armrests it is much more comfortable to sleep, nothing hinders your arms and legs. It should be noted that such a chair does not abound with complex decorative elements (stitch buttons, draperies and textured fabrics), since they can also interfere during sleep. The surface of the furniture is smooth, concise and strict. Sometimes in the set can go a decorative pillow, which is put on the back.
As a filler for the soft part use foam or spring blocks that hold the shape well and do not require additional laying of the mattress. Modern models are equipped with removable covers, which greatly simplifies the care of the product. If the covers are soiled, you can remove and wash the machine in the machine, which does not take much time.
Now a little about the unfolding system. To transform the chair, it is enough to pull the seat by a special handle on yourself, and when folding, you should raise the seat and pull it to the full assembly of the sleeper (the seat itself comes forward). At the moment, the "accordion" mechanism is the most popular and convenient of all presented mechanisms. He rarely breaks, and in case of breakage, it is easy enough to repair.
Armchair-bed "accordion" on a metal frame
Manufacturers of furniture took into account that the folding armchair will often be disassembled, so it was provided with a reliable metal base, which keeps the shape of the chair for the duration of operation. Many metal carcasses are equipped with orthopedic cross bars that distribute the load from the body across the entire area of the bed. Due to this, the sleeping place does not sag, and the spine keeps the correct shape throughout the night.
Where to place the accordion chair?
When choosing a place for a folding chair, be aware that in disassembled form it will be 3-4 times longer, therefore, there should not be furniture nearby in which it will rest. The ideal place to install the chair is the corner of the room. Here it will not interfere with the passage, but the sleeping person will feel more alone.
If you have a sofa and you need to turn it into a double bed, you can put a folded chair next to it (of course, provided that the height of the sofa and the chair are the same). Thus, the construction can accommodate two people, which is very convenient.
If you do not plan to often lay out a chair, then it can be installed in any convenient part of the room for you. It will look great in any interior, and no one will guess that in front of him is an armchair that can transform into a comfortable bed.
