In shape

The size of the room in which the sofa will be installed and its design influence the choice of the shape of the product. Depending on the features of the room or the style of interior decoration, furniture can have a different configuration:

Direct model. It is a single plane, usually installed along the walls in apartments of large and medium sizes. It has a deep comfortable seat, often used as a sleeping place.
Corner construction. Successfully fit into a small room. The seat is not soft, not all models have a box for linen.

Availability is not the only criterion when choosing the shape of a product. Often, corner sofas for sleeping are used for zoning the apartment. The original design decision sometimes makes it the main element of the interior.

By folding mechanism

Modern man appreciates multifunctional things that can immediately satisfy a number of needs. Thanks to the transformation mechanism, it is easy to get a comfortable sofa for daily sleep or a comfortable seat. The following varieties are very popular:

Click-gag. In order to get a wide sofa for sleeping, it is necessary to raise the lower section to a vertical position (a clattering sound is heard), and then lower it to its original place. There should be a small space between the wall and the folded product for free lowering of the second half.
Eurobook. The front half is advanced, and the resulting space is filled with a back. The sofa can be transformed into a berth, being in close proximity to the wall.
Accordion. It is enough to pull on the lower section of the seat, the part lying on it will lower with the back to the vacant seat.
Dolphin. It is necessary to extend the lower section of the seat into which the additional mattress block is laid. Pulling on specially mounted rings in it, you can put the block on the same level with the rest of the soft parts.
French clamshell. Double-folded additional element of the orthopedic lattice is located under the seat. If necessary, it rises, moving forward by 1.5-1.8 meters.

The mechanism of the French clamshell is not durable. It does not withstand regular loads, so it is not often used to make sofas for sleeping every day.

When choosing a sofa transformation mechanism suitable for frequent use, priorities should be considered. A wide and even berth, for example, will be provided mainly by a click gag or an accordion. Small apartments value compact and functional furniture. Experts believe that the most reliable mechanism for transforming a sofa is a simple and durable click-gag.

Materials of manufacture

Choosing a comfortable sofa for sleeping, usually evaluate its functionality and aesthetic qualities. Consumer characteristics of the product largely depend on the materials used. Before buying, you should figure out what raw materials can be used to make the frame, upholstery and mattress.

Frame

Its quality determines the durability of the product. A well-assembled (glued, welded) frame guarantees the preservation of shape and functionality. Structural features of the material for its manufacture will determine the stability of the product to regular loads. The table shows the common materials for the frame and their description.

Material	Characteristics
Wood	Eco-friendly and absolutely safe frames are very durable. Metal fastenings or screws are not used to connect the individual elements, which makes it impossible to loosen the product.
Wood slabs	Particleboard, chipboard or MDF consist of wood chips impregnated with various compounds (formaldehyde, liquid paraffin, lignin). Covered with a layer of protective paint, which prevents the release of harmful substances. The main advantage is low cost.
Metal	The frame is very stable, durable (especially if its elements are welded and not fastened together with bolts or self-tapping screws), has absolute fire resistance, and can easily withstand significant loads (up to 300 kg).

Experts believe that flexible beech lamellas should be mounted in the frame of an orthopedic sofa for sleeping. They will strengthen the spring effect, provide good air exchange on the sleeping surface.

Upholstery

In addition to design features, the aesthetic qualities of the sofa determine the color, pattern and texture of the upholstery. The durability of the latter, the ability to withstand the influence of aggressive factors (water, fire, dirt, mechanical damage) will affect the choice of the room in which the sofa will be installed (living room, dining room, children's room). The table shows the main materials used for furniture upholstery, their features.

Upholstery Material	Characteristics
Microfiber	High-density fabric, has excellent hydrophobic, fire-resistant properties, is able to maintain color under prolonged exposure to sunlight. Contaminated upholstery can be wiped with a damp cloth.
Shenill	Braided with fleecy fibers, the thread forms a dense velvety fabric. The structure of the material for a long time remains elastic, resembles velveteen to the touch, does not fade in the sun. It lends itself to dry cleaning.
Velours	Fleecy textile. It creates a feeling of warmth, has good wear resistance. From dust, small debris, such an upholstery can be cleaned with a dry brush or vacuum cleaner. If contaminated, wet cleaning with mild detergents (without alkali or bleach) is possible.
Leather	The most durable and undemanding care (you can wash with soapy water) material. After wet cleaning, it is important to let dry without using a hair dryer or dryer (to avoid deformation).

Plain upholstered sofas blend harmoniously into a classic-style interior. Patterned fabrics with a pattern are suitable for a room decorated in ethnic style.

Shrinking and unclenching, the springs support the spinal column or its segments in the physiologically correct position, providing a healthy comfortable rest on the anatomical sofas for sleeping.
