What is a “click-clack” sofa?
Click-klyak is an improved version of the “book” mechanism. The main difference of the improved transformer is that it can take three different positions instead of the usual two: “lying”, “sitting” and “reclining”. The last option, when the back is at an angle of 45°, can be used for comfortable rest and relaxation.
The sofa with a click-clack mechanism has a reinforced back and a steel frame that rests on the top of the linen drawer. The design is characterized by increased strength, which allows the furniture to withstand weight up to 300 kg.
Does it have armrests
All “click-clack” models are divided into three types – with movable armrests (“ears”), with classic fixed ones (quite rare) and without.
The presence of movable armrests, which are an extension of the sofa and have four possible positions, provides the following advantages:
- they can be completely lowered or raised, which changes the appearance and functionality of the furniture;
- If you raise the armrests at the head when the sofa is disassembled, they can replace the pillows.
Before choosing a model with armrests, decide whether you really need such furniture or not. This sofa has a non-standard appearance and dimensions that do not fit into any interior.
Types of click-clack sofas
There are three types, each of which has its own characteristics:
- Direct. A universal model that is suitable for any room. If necessary, the transformer can not be folded out and used as a single bed.
- Angular. Spacious furniture, suitable for rooms where you need to completely occupy a large corner.
- Modular. A type of corner model, consisting of several components that can be used as poufs or armchairs.
Features: linen box, removable cover, pillows
Depending on the chosen model, a sofa with a click-clack mechanism may have a linen drawer, a removable cover and pillows. Now let's look at the features of each of these elements:
- The linen box is made of wood or laminated chipboard, which makes it strong and durable. In addition, the box is always roomy, so you can store all the necessary bedding in it;
- Removable covers help to preserve the appearance of the upholstery for a long time, since if necessary they can be removed and washed. If the set includes several covers at once, this will allow you to diversify the design of the furniture and not rush into washing;
- pillows play a decorative rather than practical role. If they are two-tone, they can be flipped, thereby slightly changing the appearance of the furniture.
Manufacturing materials
The steel frame is galvanized, that is, covered with a protective layer, which protects the metal base of the product from premature wear - corrosion that appears with high humidity or temperature fluctuations. The body is made of natural wood (oak, beech, walnut, maple, ash). Expensive sofas in a classic style are made from elite wood species. These specimens are distinguished by their strength and durability. Pine is most often used to make budget options, but this material must be of high quality and well dried to avoid mold, rotting or cracking. The frame for a click-klyak sofa is often made from combined materials.
| Material | Characteristic |
| Chipboard (chipboard) | Consists of wood shavings impregnated with synthetic resins. The finished slabs are coated with a layer of paint that prevents the release and spread of formaldehyde. |
| MDF | Made from crushed sawdust impregnated with ligin or paraffin. The binding composition does not contain toxic substances, so MDF boards are considered a completely safe material. |
| LDSP (laminated chipboard) | Chipboards are covered with a protective melamine film. It prevents the release of aldehydes and increases the wear resistance of the frame (this product can withstand high temperatures (up to 220°) and changes in atmospheric pressure). |
The most environmentally friendly and budget option is to use MDF boards. The annual international growth in consumption of products with MDF frames is 25%, compared to a 2% increase in demand for sofas made of chipboard.
Chipboards used for the production of sofas for children's rooms cannot contain more than 10 mg of synthetic resins per 100 g of dry shavings; for other products the norm is 20-30 mg/100 g.
The aesthetic properties of the product largely depend on the fabric used for the upholstery. The most expensive option, giving the sofa and the entire interior of the room sophistication and respectability, would be tapestries. They are made from 100% natural fiber (cotton), are hypoallergenic, and have a large decorative variety (floral, geometric patterns, ornaments, plot designs).
Natural and artificial fabrics with chenille and jacquard weave shimmer with all the colors of the rainbow and do not fade even with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. The addition of synthetic threads (artificial viscose, lycra, elastane, spandex) increases the strength and wear resistance of upholstery fabrics. Genuine leather is considered the densest material with excellent resistance to all aggressive environmental factors. The appearance of the sofa will largely depend on the characteristics of the upholstery.
| Budget upholstery options | Fabric characteristics |
| Flock | Contains 65% synthetic and 35% natural fibers, due to which it has high strength and resistance to tearing and mechanical damage (scratching by pets' claws). |
| Gozhka | Dense and fleecy fabric, easy to care for (can be wiped with a damp cloth), plain or decorated with relief geometric patterns. |
| Microfiber | Dense material, has excellent wear resistance (resistance to abrasion, fading), water-repellent and dirt-repellent properties, and some fire resistance. |
| Artificial leather (imitation leather) | A cheaper analogue of leather, it washes well using special products. |
An excellent preventive or therapeutic effect can be obtained if you choose a model with an orthopedic base. Flexible lamellas (dies) are built into the product body. They are made of steamed wood, which allows them to be in a curved position. This design provides excellent air exchange and increases the softness of the seat. A slightly springy orthopedic base promotes complete relaxation of the body, supports the spine in the correct anatomical position, and normalizes blood circulation in the body. A product with a special orthopedic mattress for a click-klyak sofa will have a similar effect.

How to fold out a sofa click-clack
To unfold the sofa, follow these instructions:
- Raise the seat up. You will hear the first click and then the second.
- At the same time, the backrest will begin to gradually lower down. Let it take a horizontal position.
- After this, return the seat to its original position.
- Cover the sleeping area with bed linen and the bed is ready for use.

If you want to move the furniture to the “reclining” position, do the following:
- Raise the seat until you hear the first click.
- At this time, the back will move down a little, acquiring the desired position.
- Now lower the seat back and you can rest.
To fold the sofa bed back and return it to its original sitting position, repeat all the steps described in reverse order.

Tick tock sofas
Tic Tac folding mechanism
The interesting name of the mechanism does not imply something unrealistically special. Laying out such a mechanism is as easy as a book, but teak, unlike the first option, has three types of position:
- sitting;
- lying down;
- reclining.
These types of sofas are also popular, especially for small spaces, since they do not take up much space when assembled, and when unfolded, you can easily save space on folded arms and armrests.
Dimensions of the click-klyak sofa when assembled
When buying a sofa with a click-clack layout mechanism, you should keep in mind that there are three different models, differing in dimensions:
| Model | Width, cm | Depth, cm | Height, cm |
| For children | 110-130 | 40 | 75 |
| For teenagers | 190 | 65 | 85 |
| For adults | 200 | 75-100 | 95 |
These are average overall dimensions, so if necessary, you can find an option that will be ideal for your home.
Repair of the click-clack mechanism.
If we are talking about operation, it is worth focusing on minor repairs that are possible at home. In addition to deformation, breakage is caused by loosening of the fastening bolts and the appearance of gaps between the frame and the mechanism, which leads to bending of the structure and subsequent jamming. The spring located at the bottom of the mechanism stretches or breaks. It is worth paying attention to the condition of the rivets; we recommend immediately replacing them with bolts and nuts.
The above is more about preventing breakdowns than eliminating consequences. Therefore, pay close attention to the sounds when unfolding. In the case of a single click, be sure to check the mechanism; as a rule, one of its parts will be jammed in this case. Lubrication will improve the situation, but this happens extremely rarely, so the solution is to completely replace the mechanical parts. Be sure to replace all parts at the same time.
Remember the mechanical parts of the click clack sofa must be lubricated. By adhering to the rules, you will ensure trouble-free operation for many years.
Bed dimensions
The size of the bed also depends on the age for which a particular furniture model is intended:
- for children 80x110-130;
- for teenagers 130x190, 135x200;
- for adults 140x200, 150x200, 160x205 cm.
The unfolded parameters indicated are indicative and may vary depending on the manufacturer.
Problems in operation.
In addition to the advantages, the structure of the sofa has obvious disadvantages associated with the mechanical part of the structure. Constant folding leads to friction of the component parts of the mechanism and wear. In addition, manufacturers often do not pay attention to the quality of the metal used in the design, reducing the cost of products. The use of low-quality materials leads to deformation and jamming of the mechanism. The most effective way to counter this is to constantly lubricate the rubbing parts.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's start with the advantages, of which “click-clack” sofas have quite a few:
- Low price.
- Strength and durability of the structure.
- Ideally flat sleeping surface.
- Spacious and durable linen box.
- Three positions that allow you not only to sit and lie, but also to rest comfortably by leaning back a little.
- Simplicity of transformation, thanks to which both adults and children can disassemble the furniture.
This transformer has only one drawback: due to the structural features of the design, the sofa cannot be placed close to the wall, otherwise you will not be able to unfold it.

Dolphin mechanism model
Mechanism "Dolphin"
There are various types of comfortable sofa mechanisms, but one of the most popular in our time is dolphins. Such models fit perfectly into any size room, both large and small. These are good and practical mechanisms, as they do not have complex parts, so they last much longer. The lower part can be easily pulled out, since its base is on wheels, and then raised using a small handle.
These folding mechanisms are preferred by manufacturers of massive and corner sofas, since unfolding a heavy model can be very difficult. In this case, everything is quite simple, besides, when assembled, the dolphin looks very aesthetically pleasing and neat.
Customer Reviews
Buyers describe the click-clack sofa as a comfortable and space-saving piece of furniture that is perfect for small rooms. Also, reviews often mention ease of use, which allows you to choose a model for children and teenagers. Another important advantage is the large selection of colors and models, thanks to which you can choose the right sofa for any interior. Those who choose the option with orthopedic properties often note that their quality of sleep has significantly improved after the purchase.
A sofa bed with a click-clack mechanism is suitable for both a small bachelor’s apartment and a house where a large family lives. In the second case, you should choose a model with additional covers and a linen drawer, which will make using the furniture even more comfortable. The relatively low price and durable mechanism are also strong purchasing arguments.

Design features
The disadvantages of sofas with a click-klyak system included the fact that the sofas required a certain distance from the wall. Since when unfolding, the rear back rested on the wall and it was necessary to move the sofa to the required distance.
Modern sofas take into account the shortcomings of previous models and now there is no need to move the sofa away from the wall. The design has been improved in such a way that when unfolded, the back itself moves away from the wall. This eliminated the only drawback in the click-click system.
The process of turning a sofa into a full-fledged bed is very simple, you just need to lift the seat until the structure is securely fixed, at this moment there will be a click in the mechanism and the bed is ready.
