What is a sofa couch?

An interior couch is, in a sense, a bench, a rectangular soft, not very large seat with or without legs, which has a back on one or more sides. The absence of a full back is one of the distinctive features of this piece of furniture. It can have one or two armrests and an elegantly shaped back, which makes it more comfortable and stylish.

The interior of a bedroom with a couch looks aesthetically pleasing, in which it can be used for folding things, as an additional place where you can relax, read books and do other things. The couch looks no less impressive in the interior of the living room, where it also becomes an additional advantage of the room, its real decoration. They are also appropriate in offices, libraries and more.

Features of placing a couch in the bedroom interior

The placement of a sofa-couch in the bedroom depends solely on its type and purpose. Of course, the product can perform several functions at the same time, but the main one in any case remains one.

Sleeping couch

A couch used for sleeping is most conveniently placed in a corner. But if there is a comfortable backrest and armrests, it can easily be installed in the center or on any wall.

When placing it, it is also worth considering whether the product has a transformation mechanism. If it is available, then you should provide free space for unfolding

Lounge couch

A couch for relaxing with your favorite book or gadget in the bedroom is also essential. It can be located next to the bed, opposite it, near the window or in any cozy corner with good lighting.

Storage couch

The storage couch can be placed in any available space in the bedroom. At the same time, it should not interfere with the passage or replace another equally important functional piece of furniture, for example, a chest of drawers or a boudoir table.

It is also important to provide for the ease of opening the linen drawer and its suitable dimensions.

Furnishing styles

You can put couches in the style:

• classic,
• modern,
• country,
• minimalism,
• baroque,
• modern and more.

For absolutely any space, you can choose the appropriate couch that will look organic in it. Such upholstered furniture appeared in ancient times. Couches were then one of the items of aristocratic luxury. A revival in popularity of the setting occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries. In those days, classicism reigned, based on antiquity. Therefore, couches became very popular again and were often used in fashionable interiors.

The couch bed in the interior has become one of the central elements of the decor. Depending on the size, it provides the opportunity to sit comfortably and even put your feet down to lie down. There are also sleeping couches that will be useful if you need to leave guests overnight. If in the old days this furniture was the constant filling of women's quarters, today it has become universal and can be used everywhere without exception. For example, a couch is often found in a kitchen interior, although previously it was difficult to imagine. The kitchen space has long become a favorite place for gathering the whole family, leisurely and pleasant time. Therefore, if there is free space, it is rational to install furniture in it to make the conditions even more comfortable.

Choosing upholstery, frame and filling

It is no coincidence that they are presented together. The capabilities of your future couch directly depend on this “trinity”.

1. Frame.
   Must be strong and reliable. It is made of chipboard, MDF, metal, but the best and most durable option is solid wood, especially North Caucasian beech
2. Filler.
   Manufacturers often choose foam rubber. Their more modern version is highly elastic polyurethane foam. It is hypoallergenic, resistant to moisture, but most importantly, it evenly distributes the load on the spine.
3. Upholstery.
   Here the choice directly depends on the room for which the couch is purchased:

• For the kitchen or hallway,
  choose upholstery made from natural or eco-leather. Another option is fabrics with special impregnation for easy cleaning.
• for a nursery or bedroom
  . Consider hypoallergenicity, texture and composition of the material: cotton, wool, polyester.
• in the office
  if the owner, for example, smokes: chenille or the same leather.

Duchess and Recamier couches

The duchess couch is characterized by rounded shapes and a clearly visible rounded headboard. Varieties in this category include duchess-breeze couches, which are composite and consist of an armchair with an attached pouf. Together, two pieces of furniture provide a comfortable place to relax and even sleep.

The Recamier couch received its name in honor of a salon owner in France. It is a small sofa with an armrest, which are made in the same style. The curve is made in the form of a line of an outstretched arm, which makes the atmosphere refined and elegant.

Mechanisms of transformation

To make modern couches comfortable not only for sitting, but also for proper sleep, manufacturers equip them with retractable mechanisms. They can be intended for daily use, as well as for guests, i.e. from time to time. Among the commonly used mechanisms are the following types:

• dolphin, found more often in pull-out models, which allows you to quickly turn furniture into a full-fledged sleeping place;
• click-clack, characterized by ease of use and reliability, controlling the sides;
• roll-out, allowing you to turn a compact object into a place to sleep with one movement.

Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages, and when choosing a certain type of folding couch, you need to focus on the expected frequency of its use as a sleeping place.

Furniture making materials

In most cases, the frame of the sofa is wooden.

1. Wooden couch . Most often, the frame, sides and headboard of the sofa are made from this natural material. Budget models are made from inexpensive types of wood - pine, spruce, linden, etc. Elite versions of couches are made from valuable types of wood - oak, walnut, cedar, hornbeam, etc.
2. Sofa with metal frame and back . Such a couch most often has curved and smooth lines. Forged metal headboards can be painted in dark or light colors.
