The advantages and criteria for choosing a corner-type sofa
The standard dimensions of the angular sofa range from 230 cm to 280 cm. There are also models of smaller parameters. For example, 140 cm or 210 cm. But such sofas are not produced in large quantities, so it is not easy to find them on sale.
Before choosing a sofa for a living room of this species, it is necessary to take into account a number of operational features of the product. So, the main aspects are reduced to the following:
- Corner sofas for the living room consist of several parts and differ in modern design. Such a piece of furniture can have a different form. For example, "P"-shaped or in the form of an angle with the same or different length of the parties. This model makes it possible to significantly increase the number of seats in the living room. As a result, it will be possible to take a large number of guests and not worry about their placement.
- This sofa can be installed both in the right-hand and in the left-hand version. Thanks to this, it can be harmoniously placed in any room.
- Also, the sofa makes it possible to get an extra bed. Mobile versions equipped with wheeled or roller supports are special convenience. If necessary, this furniture will not be difficult to move to the desired place.
Features of the carcass
Before buying a sofa for the living room, attention should be paid to the following characteristics. Frame design is made of:
- natural wood;
- plywood;
- Chipboard;
- bRUSEV.
Frames from natural wood material are not found often. In the overwhelming majority of sofas, this element is made of alternative materials.
If the frame is made on the basis of BRUSEV, it is necessary to pay attention to the method of their attachment. These items must be high-quality, and in no case are nailing with nails. DSP is laminated or covered with dye. To determine which material is used for making a frame element, you need to inspect the sofa inside, and also pay attention to its mass. The large weight of the furniture testifies to the use of chipboard.
Transformation mechanism
The following property that needs to be taken into account is the mechanism of transformation of the corner sofa in the living room. There are several types of mechanism:
- picky;
- eurobook;
- meralat;
- dolphin;
- sedaflex.
The most reliable option is the Eurobook. Good reputation This mechanism deserved due to its simplicity. Transformation provides only two loop-like elements. Also quite reliable is a roll-out mechanism. But relatively with the eurobook it has one drawback - a lower bed. Sedaflex and Meralat are not distinguished by the reliability of the design. As a result of daily operation, it can be quite quickly able to fail.
Features of spring block
When examining the sofa, it should also be verified as a spring block. It is divided into two types:
- bonnel;
- Pocket Springs.
Today, the sofas are preferably made with the Bonel block due to the lower cost. But on the operational qualities, this block loses Pocket Springs.
The Bonnel unit consists of springs bonded. When a person lies on such a sofa, the movement of the springs occurs in another part of the design. The inconvenience of this feature of the sofa owner can feel in a situation where two people fall on such a block. One of which exceeds the other in the mass of the body. In this case, the one who has a smaller weight will ride towards the owner of a more significant mass. Pocket Springs block does not have such a shortage. But the cost of its significantly higher.
Selecting a sofa from filler and upholstery
Fillers are laid over the spring block. It can be:
- foam
- sintepon;
- nastil of the breaker;
- polyurethane foam, which manufacturers often replace the spring block.
This is explained by the lower value of the material in similar performance characteristics. The latal of the breaker is a layer of cotton wool with a thickness of 5 cm, which is covered with a dense tissue on both sides. Such a filler makes a sleeping place softer.
Polyurethane is a material that has a number of positive characteristics. It has environmental safety, durability and durability. And also creates maximum comfort when operating the sofa. No less convenience are sofas with synthepsion. Such qualities of this material can be distinguished as: elasticity, elasticity, moisture resistance and fungal diseases.
For the upholstery of the sofa in the interior of the living room manufacturers use different material.
- Tapestry and jacquard refer to inexpensive fabrics. These fabrics are strong enough and have an attractive appearance.
- Velur, Shenill, Microfiber, Genuine Leather, Flock-Velur and Flock refer to a higher price category. Such sofas for the living room, photos and prices are widely presented on the pages of designer directories.
Choosing the upholstery besides the quality of the material and its cost, you should also navigate the living room interior. The sofa must be combined with other design elements.

Modular sofas for the living room
Modular sofas are an innovative technological development. They consist of separate sections that can be disconnected and collect depending on their own preferences. This is a fairly convenient option for the living room, since in addition to the fact that the sofa can be transformed into bed, it can also be turned into a chair. This approach eliminates the need to acquire additional elements of furniture. The features of the presented models include such aspects:
- The basis of the sofa is pouf. This element may have different sizes. Also, the structure includes additional details as armrests, backs, wheels, added shelves and legs.
