Sofa, folding forward

The modern living room is rarely without sound and comfortable upholstered furniture, and the sofa is the central exhibit of the soft composition, which, like a general, rules in this room. That's why you need to choose it extremely scrupulously and tastefully. If earlier the mechanism of transformation was only one species, now there are dozens of species, which makes it very difficult to solve this problem. Some products, like a book open, another sofa bed is laid out forward or sideways, while others are transformed like a telescope. Here are a few descriptions of common models.

Choosing a sofa to unfold forward

1. Couches of withdrawable type . This type of transformation can be called the most reliable and designed for very frequent use. It is extremely convenient to use the roll-out sofa - you pull the strap, hidden in the seat, when necessary, and the front part easily extends forward until it stops. The back is folded, taking up its place in the design. 10 years is the standard warranty period for the use of such divans.
2. Upholstered furniture with a mechanism like "dolphin" . If you are looking for an angled sofa, folding forward, then this model can come in handy. When folded, the product is an ordinary soft corner. But it's worth pulling the coveted strap, and a wonderful transformation begins. The seat rolls forward, and the second part hidden under it rises, taking its position at the desired level.
3. Sofas, unfolding forward as an accordion . Such furniture consists of three soft parts. Two of them are folded back, and the third is a seat. If you want to turn a sofa into a full sleeper, then all three parts are pulled forward, and they, folding, form an even bed. The main drawback is a thick back. The second nuance - the reverse transformation in many similar products requires some effort to set the backrest to its initial position.
4. Sofas "eurobook" . Transformation of such furniture is simple - the seat rolls out forward, and the backrest rotates 90 °, occupying a horizontal position. Under the sofa quite a lot of space for different things and collect it easily, so the "eurobook" is now very popular. The disadvantage is that the back of this furniture is usually stiff, because the soft part in the assembled form is on the other side. The problem is usually solved with the help of additional pillows.
5. The sofa is like a clamshell .

There are two varieties of this furniture:

1. French clamshell - during the transformation it almost always requires the dismantling of small parts (armrests and pillows). Such furniture is equipped with a grid of metal or belts and additional steel legs. Unfolding the box takes some time and often makes it uncomfortable.
2. The American clamshell is a less complicated version, to shoot different devices, there is no need. But the bed is almost always not very strong and it is calculated for a certain permissible weight. Disadvantages - sometimes after a long period of operation many products have a sagging mattress.

You see that there is a wide variety of furniture here and there is a possibility to choose, as small sofas, unfolding forward, and large enough structures that have a system of transformation. We hope that our description will make your choice when buying a product more easily.
