Cladding materials: how to choose the right sofa?
Choosing the sofa model that has the desired shape and parameters is only half the battle. Eurobook orthopedic sofas are the most popular model. However, it is a mistake to believe that you can choose the first model you come across.
After all, it is necessary to pay attention to what facing material was used in the production process. This is a very important detail that cannot be ignored. Since this directly affects the service life of the structure.
High-quality upholstery material must meet certain requirements.
Hypoallergenic - preference should be given to materials that predominantly contain natural fibers. It would also be a good option to purchase a model whose lining has been subjected to special treatment. For example, eco-leather is subjected to this treatment.
High strength and wear resistance - such models, of course, will cost an order of magnitude more. But in this case it is a necessary waste. After all, its service life depends on how durable and wear-resistant the material was used for the upholstery. If it becomes unusable, there will be a need to contact a specialist, and this will be an additional financial expense.
Ease of care for the material - it is better to give preference to those materials that do not require specific care.
There is one more parameter that you should pay attention to. And this is resistance to the negative effects of sunlight. Straight Eurobook sofas and any other model must have high resistance to sunlight. This is important if the sofa is planned to be installed in a room that receives direct sunlight. Under their influence, the material should not burn out.
Advantages and disadvantages
Modern interior items are comfortable and have numerous advantages:
- the structure can be unfolded even by a child, since this process is not complicated and does not require significant effort;
- Assembling the sofa is also not difficult;
- after transformation, a bed is formed as a sleep, which is ideally flat, so there are no significant differences in it that interfere with comfortable sleep;
- if desired, sofas with a transformation mechanism with an orthopedic mattress are selected, which provides not only comfort during sleep, but also ideal conditions for the spine, so on such a product you can have a wonderful rest for the benefit of your health;
- if you choose soft, comfortable furniture with narrow armrests or even one armrest, then they will not take up much space in any room;
- Almost all modern products are produced with a linen drawer, which is distinguished by its significant size and good capacity, so not only bedding, but also other large items can be stored here;
- if you plan to install the product in a very small room, then you are allowed to choose a small corner piece of furniture;
- manufacturers offer different sizes of structures, so if one person sleeps on it, then buy upholstered furniture with a comfortable sleeping place 140x190 cm, and if there are two people, then it’s better to buy a sofa with a Eurobook mechanism with a sleeping place 180x200 cm;
- the transformation mechanism itself is considered simple and resistant to various influence factors, therefore it lasts for a long time;
- Different materials are used for upholstery, so you can choose a leather sofa with a folding mechanism, as well as a product made from eco-leather, jacquard or other fabric.
But there are also some disadvantages of this product. These include the fact that during transformation the wheels slide along the floor covering. This often leads to either damage to the coating or the appearance of unsightly stripes on it. Although in high-quality designs there is no difference between the two parts, there is still a joint that is not very attractive and convenient for people who constantly use the place to sleep. To expand the structure, it is important to leave a certain distance between the wall and it, which is not always possible for small rooms.
If high-quality and expensive new interior items are chosen, then the above-mentioned disadvantages are almost completely absent from them.
