Frameless furniture, its popular options and how to choose

Among all the existing types of furniture on the market, only frameless can be distinguished into a separate group. This is due to the lack of a rigid foundation. Products are an alternative to traditional interior items such as sofas and armchairs. Frameless furniture is popular among young people, due to the affordable price. It is much easier to equip space with it, especially if there is not enough free space in the room. It can be found not only in ordinary residential premises, but also in the office.

Features

Any upholstered furniture, whether it is a pouf or a sunbed, looks like a bag-cover. A characteristic feature of such bags is the memory effect.. The absence of a rigid frame allows them to take any shape, respectively, the furniture is able to adapt to the human body. The bag consists of two main parts - the first is used to store the filler. The second is a removable cover. It can be washed and cleaned. Expanded polystyrene having different density indices acts as a filler. It depends on how soft the pouf or chair will be soft or hard. Of the advantages of soft interior items, the following can be noted:

Practicality in operation, which includes compact dimensions, interchangeable outer shells, light weight and memory effect of the filler;
Long service life of furniture;
The ability to create an original design of the room, which is associated with a large selection of shapes, sizes of similar bags and with a removable cover;
Resistance of the outer shell to temperature changes and moisture;
The minimum probability of physical damage, the absence of dangerous chips, harmful substances.

Varieties

You can divide frameless furniture into several groups:

The most popular products are bean bags, which include pears, balls and pillows. Products have an original appearance;
Frameless armchairs have some similarities with traditional ones. This can be a classic form, suitable for an office environment, sports models for a gym. The best option for those who love relaxation are frameless sunbeds;
There are frameless sofas used for a large company. Models can be folding. Small dimensions and weight allow you to move such sofas around the room;
As for ottomans, then they can be used both for the entrance hall and for the nursery. The latter option is preferable in that they do not have sharp protruding parts, respectively, for children they do not carry any danger;
An alternative to a coffee table is a frameless one. It is maneuverable, has no glass surface or sharp corners. The only drawback is the weight limit. You won’t place a pot or a large bottle on such a surface.

Armchair

About chairs you need to know that the filler will inevitably lose its original properties. The former softness of a big bag can only be returned with a complete replacement of the filler. This procedure must be performed every two years. The lack of support in the chairs leads to the fact that after a certain period of time the fabric cover will fade and rub. This cannot be avoided, but the appearance of the furniture can be washed. After some time, the outer shell will inevitably have to be changed. The lack of a strong frame, as well as a hard coating, is sometimes a disadvantage. This is felt when there are pets in the house. It is problematic to protect upholstered furniture from a cat who wants to sharpen its claws. The integrity of the outer shell is easily damaged by sharp objects.

Most often, pear chairs are purchased from this category of furniture - this is due to the convenient and non-standard shape. Popular seats in the form of a soccer ball. You can change the appearance of such chairs, as well as their position, in a matter of seconds. Many models come immediately with a set of interchangeable outer shells. This allows you to change the interior in a short time, without much effort and money.

Tearing the inner case is also not critical. You just need to collect the filler or purchase a new one, and then sew up the hole.

Puff

Pouf can be made of any shape. A square, rectangle, circle, oval - these are standard options that are found most often. However, the form factor can be absolutely anything - a flower or a typewriter for a nursery, a polygon for a living room. There may be a place for a magazine or a shoe storage box. But the classic models of poufs have a low seat, completely devoid of backs and armrests. Like other types of frameless furniture, they can be used in different places:

In the bedroom, it is customary to put poufs near the bed or dressing table. The cover should be made in pastel colors;
In the living room, the ottoman will serve as an additional seat, but it can be used as a footrest;
Frameless furniture in the interior of the hallway looks organic, but you need to choose an outer shell that will be resistant to moisture, dust and dirt. It is better to use natural or artificial leather;
For the children's room, you can choose a pouf in the form of cartoon characters.

Frameless ottomans have all the same advantages as other types of furniture in this category. Their lightness is noted, which allows them to move objects around the room without problems. Covers are changed, and also washed as necessary. The use of poufs in the children's room is possible due to the fact that there are no sharp corners in the furniture, and the filler and outer shell are environmentally friendly.

Sunbed

An alternative to chairs is frameless sunbeds - it is customary to spend time in a horizontal position, at home or outdoors. Loungers should be purchased in cases where you have to read books, long work with a laptop or outdoor recreation. A person is placed on a similar sunbed with his legs. Separately, you can highlight the special design of the back - due to it, good head support is obtained.

The materials used in the manufacture of deck chairs are moisture resistant, which allows them to be used outdoors. The main advantages of furniture without a rigid frame are ease of maintenance, a comfortable position of the body in any position, maneuverability.

Sunbeds can be moved from place to place or change the outer shell. Furniture is not suitable for daily sleep, but occupies a leading position when used for relaxing in the country. You can choose the optimal filler density, which is especially important for proper blood circulation and the functioning of the body during the use of the sunbed.

Sofa

Many people have doubts when choosing between traditional models of sofas and frameless. Some people can decide on a photo of such products in different interiors. But most lack the following features:

In favor of such sofas speak all those advantages applicable to poufs, sunbeds and chairs;
There is no binding to a specific case or type of filler. Everything can be changed, if desired;
Traditional sofas most often have sharp corners, while sofas without hard parts are safe, therefore it is better to install them in a nursery;
Contemporary style is a weakness of traditional sofas. It is difficult to transform an interior with an ordinary sofa, while even cheap sofas without a frame can bring an element of novelty;
The soft design allows you to diversify the romantic life of a young couple.

There are situations when frameless upholstered furniture loses traditional. For older people, it is optimal to use a hard surface, and they can not do without armrests. Metal, wood and other durable materials do not change much over time, which cannot be said about soft fillers. For daily sleep, increased rigidity is beneficial.

Table

Frameless table, to some extent, is an analogue of the pouf. It can have the same forms, filling, but different materials of upholstery. A soft cover should have dust and moisture repellent properties. For the most comfortable use, thin plywood can be used as a tabletop.

If you want to use a similar table in the open air, then it makes sense to stay on the artificial leather upholstery. It will repel water, and ultraviolet radiation will not be critical. Poufs tables have no less functionality than ordinary tables, but they are not so bulky, which saves real space.

Criterias of choice

Before choosing furniture, you should study the following questions:

The fabric must be suitable for the furniture. For increased humidity or pollution, it is better to choose natural or artificial skin. It is easier to look after her;
The presence of an inner cover is only necessary when using fabric upholstery. For leather furniture, it is better that there is no inner cover. Then the furniture better takes the form of a person;
The longer the zipper in the inner case, the better;
It is desirable that, together with polystyrene foam, syntepuh is present in the filler. It will give additional orthopedic properties to frameless furniture;

If the shell is made of leather or leatherette, the dust can be removed with a damp cloth or sponge. Special skin care products can help with stains;
The upper fabric cover can be washed with ordinary powder at 40 degrees;
If pets are present, it is recommended to use additional linings;

If these rules are not followed, the furniture will become unusable ahead of schedule.
