Content
The interior of the room without upholstered furniture is meaningless, because it creates comfort and coziness, gives each design a charming originality. Perhaps the sofa sets the mood for the whole atmosphere. The design of this piece of furniture has not changed much. Thanks to the exquisite combination of new types of upholstery, the use of modular systems, modern sofas are able to satisfy the whim of any capricious buyer.
Advantages of sofas without armrests
Orthopedic sofas without armrests are a universal berth. A person of any height will be able to accommodate it comfortably and comfortably. And certainly the model will appeal to very tall people who sometimes have to huddle and suffer, resting their feet on the armrest.
Interesting sofas are compact in size and fit perfectly into the interiors of small rooms. Good ergonomic qualities are complemented by beautiful decorative features: non-standard shapes, high-quality upholstery (textile, leather or eco-leather), elegant color palette. Some models are equipped with pillows, which can also be successfully used as armrests.
We can assume that the absence of armrests extends the life of upholstered furniture, because the cloth on the armrests is most quickly wiped and this is often the reason for buying a new decor.
Some housewives cannot imagine upholstered furniture without covers, while the geometric shapes of sofas without armrests make it easy to sew a cloak on furniture with their own hands.
The popularity of such models among young parents is understandable. Due to the lack of hard armrests and sharp corners, you can not worry about the possible bumps and bruises of small fidgets.
Design Features
Sofas are available in stationary and modular types. In the first case, the model has a certain framework that cannot be changed (not dismantled and not completed). In cases with modular systems, the buyer can play with the geometry of the furniture, the number of seats.
Classification of sofas
What type of sofa is better to buy and how to choose the right model are not idle questions, because the furniture differs in appearance, legs shapes and upholstery color, type of filler and type of frame. Familiarity with the different characteristics of sofas will help you make the right choice.
Appearance of sofas
The division of sofas into corner, straight and island is considered traditional.
Straight sofas without armrests are elongated in line. The depth of the seat is determined by the presence / absence of an integrated cot. Sofas without a folding bed are compact (seating depth is about 60 cm). Similar models are usually equipped with legs.
Corner sofas can be divided into compact sizes and furniture for spacious rooms. Small sofas are L-shaped due to the elongated protrusion. A corner dolphin sofa without armrests is transformed into a full-fledged sleeping bed measuring 140x160 cm or 195x210 cm. Large corner models are usually made in the form of a modular system (based on 3 or more seats).Some sofas are produced so long that the seats are bent in the form of letters P or S. Corner sofas are sometimes placed in the middle of the room, but it is most rational to place such models in the corner of the room (it takes up a minimum of usable area).
Island sofas are placed only in the center of the room and do not imply the creation of a berth. A feature of such models is the decorated back wall at the back, so this sofa looks good from all sides. If the back of the sofa has a rounded shape, then you can’t put it against the wall, which can be considered a minus of the model.
For those who like to rearrange furniture, it is definitely worth taking a closer look at straight sofas. This model is easier to rearrange and combine with other furniture (armchairs, tables, cabinets), and corner models deserve the attention of connoisseurs of free space. Also, thanks to such a sofa, you can visually zone the room: to separate the dining area in the studio apartment or to unusually protect the working area.
Models of sofas by type of transformation
A sofa-book on a metal frame without armrests is the most popular type of sofas on which it is convenient to sit both sitting and lying (even if it is folded). To disassemble it, it is enough to slightly raise the seat, and then lower it. The model folds in the same way: the seat rises until the mechanism triggers (a click is heard) and then drops down. The minus of the model can be considered free space behind the back of the sofa, necessary for free folding furniture. Although, if the sofa is rarely disassembled, then you can move it to the wall.
The click-gag model is a type of sofa-book of an improved form, which got its name from the sound that is heard when unfolding. Advantage - three options for the location of the back: for sitting, half-sitting and lying down. Since a sofa on a metal frame without armrests looks compact, it is ideally suited for arranging the atmosphere of small-sized apartments.
Sofa accordion without armrests. A simple transformation mechanism and compact dimensions make the model known and in demand. The berth consists of three folding parts, one of which is the seat, the other two are the back.
When unfolding the product, the seat extends forward until the backrest unfolds. Then the seat rises and after the clacking mechanism falls. The backrest blocks are laid horizontally. A model on a metal frame without armrests is perfect for small rooms, since it does not need to be moved away from the wall when unfolding.
Sofa eurobook without armrests. Simple transformation mechanisms help the elderly and children to use the sofa with ease, and thanks to a simple control system, these models will work longer than other folding sofas. To spread the furniture, the seat extends forward, and the back is placed on the vacant seat. A sofa with a box for linen can be installed anywhere in the room.
Sofa "French folding bed". The principle of operation of such models can be compared with an unfolding scroll. To arrange a berth, the seat cushion is removed. The folded clamshell should be pulled up and towards you, and then deploy and install on the legs-arcs. A feature of the model is safety for flooring, since the legs do not move on the floor during folding.
The drawbacks of the sofa are thin mattresses (due to three fold-up folding the mattress is up to 6 cm thick), there is no drawer for clothes, a modest bed length (it will not be comfortable for tall people), the mechanism is fragile, so the French cot without armrests can only be used as a spare berth, and not as an option for a full place to relax.
Purpose sofas
A variety of models, layout mechanisms and types of upholstery allow you to choose the product that is most suitable for a specific purpose, so the following types of furniture can be classified by purpose:
- office furniture reflects the image of the company, so leather sofas without armrests are the most common models for formal settings. For spacious rooms, an angular model or modular systems are suitable, and for a personal reception in your office it is better to put a mini-sofa without armrests. Particular attention is paid to the filler and upholstery, as well as the frame, since furniture is purchased for a long time;
- sofas are selected for the living room, taking into account the style of the room. Sofas without armrests are distinguished by a laconic design and are perfect for both spacious rooms and small ones (due to the possibility of approaching the sofa from different sides). Geometric shapes of furniture are ideal for interiors in the styles of hi-tech, minimalism, loft;
- sofas in the kitchen are selected depending on the area of the room. The spacious kitchen sometimes acts as a dining room and living room, so a comfortable sofa in the room is more than appropriate. Both straight and angular models look great. The main requirements for furniture: practical upholstery (easy to clean), durable frame, functionality (sofas for small kitchens are equipped with drawers for storing utensils);
- the children's room is furnished with reliable and easy-to-use furniture; therefore, suitable options are the Eurobook models with a linen box and a click-gag. Folded metal accordion sofa has compact dimensions and fits perfectly into the teenager’s room environment. Children's sofa does not have to play the role of a berth. In a spacious room, in addition to the bed, it is advisable to put a small double sofa - for guests and just for games. An interesting model will be with removable pillows that children can shift;
- in the hallway a sofa without armrests is the most suitable option. The furniture in the corridor is no longer considered a luxury item, because it is much more comfortable to remove / shoe shoes, comfortably sitting on the baby sofa. Suitable options are a single or double sofa without an armrest, upholstered in eco-leather. If the corridor is not wide, then you can order a narrow sofa.
If you immediately determine the "terms of reference" of the sofa, it will be easier to choose the right model. However, the interior style, the number of residents, and the time that the family likes to spend on the couch in front of the TV or at the dining table deserve attention.
Size range of furniture
It is impossible to clearly identify the parameters of sofas. Each manufacturer is guided by their ideas about comfort.
Conventionally, it is possible to distinguish compact models designed for 2-3 people, and volumetric structures designed for four or more people.
Be sure to compare the area of the room and the size of the sofa. Unassembled furniture should not restrict the movement of residents around the room, block the approaches to the doors and TV, exit to the balcony.
When choosing a sofa without armrests, it is taken into account that upholstery and shapes are not the main guidelines. Be sure to be interested in the "inner world" of the sofa. The quality of the filler, the reliability of the frame and mechanisms are the main components of the right choice.
