What are round sofa beds, their pros and cons

Round sofa bed - a comfortable sleeping place and an original solution for the living room

A round sofa bed is a very unusual interior detail. Many people dream of owning upholstered furniture of this shape, but only a few decide to buy it. A round-shaped sleeping area will simply fit perfectly into apartments in the Art Nouveau or Art Deco style. This unusual piece of furniture is very popular among creative people. A round sofa bed is not only visually aesthetic, but also has great functionality. Particularly relevant in the trends of the latest models of furniture catalogs are cabinet round sofas. Let's try to understand all the pros and cons of this upholstered furniture.

Features of round sofa beds

Advantages and disadvantages

Nowadays, round upholstered furniture is especially popular among young families. After all, with its help you can decorate not only the living room, but also a cozy bedroom. A sofa bed of this shape is not only convenient to use, but also harmoniously emphasizes the original interior design.

In a few words we will tell you why this model is attractive:

modern furniture manufacturers have developed a compact and attractive semicircular sofa that transforms into a comfortable sleeping place. In this product both the back and armrests fold out;
The minimum diameter of a round sofa bed is two meters. Therefore, it is convenient to sleep on such a sleeping place in any direction. This will especially suit lovers of the teachings of Feng Shui. It’s rare that a person is taller than two meters, but even for giants there are comfortable round sofas. There are samples with a diameter of up to two and a half meters;

standard bedding sets look quite original and fashionable on a round sofa. Although nowadays you can also purchase bedding of a non-standard shape;
The round sofa bed is made in various types of upholstery. In this regard, you can fit it into any interior and choose a model according to your budget;
Along with the round sofa bed, a removable cover is included. It serves to preserve the upholstery material during nightly use.

Among the disadvantages it is worth noting:

huge size of the unfolded bed. Not every bedroom will have free space for movement;
when folded, only two people can fit on the sofa;
quite expensive price.

But these are rather conditional shortcomings. Even the high cost is justified by the unusual appearance of the model. Interesting interior solutions cannot be cheap.

The following video will tell you how round sofa beds look in the interior of an apartment or house:

Mechanisms of transformation

Almost all round sofa beds when assembled look like a semicircle or arc. It all depends on the transformation mechanism; let’s look at them in more detail:

"reverse Eurobook". As in the already mentioned transformer, a semicircular segment extends from the seating area, and the back, which also has the shape of part of a circle, leans back. The central part remains motionless and forms the middle of the bed;
"transforming back". A metal podium is pulled out from the base, onto which the back is then reclined. Inside the seating area there is a compartment for bedding;
"turning". As in the previous case, the base of the berth is removed from the horizontal part, and the double seat is turned over onto the already extended frame. The back remains in place and does not take part in the process;
"composite". In addition to the sofa bed itself, this transformation mechanism involves two triangular ottomans. They slide together and form the central part of the sleeping bed. The semicircular backrest leans back to create a seamless seating area. Two cozy poufs stand unassembled next to the sofa.

"Dimensions and design of a round bed"

The sizes of a round bed start from 2 meters, but for a comfortable sleep it is better to purchase a larger model - 210x210 or 250x250 cm. There are also larger beds with parameters of 3 meters, as well as models that have a not quite regular round shape, but the difference will be almost invisible.

“How to determine a comfortable size?”

By the way, to choose the right size in advance, resort to a funny but useful trick. Mark the size of the intended mattress on the floor in the bedroom with a rope or ribbons, and then try to lie down there and evaluate whether such a round bed is comfortable. So you can quickly understand that two meters in diameter will not be enough for you, and you need to buy a larger bed.

“With or without backrest?”

Consider whether you need a headboard - it determines the style of the bed, if it is not designed in a minimalist manner, and is simply comfortable if you like to read before bed. The headboard can have two side tables, which are very convenient to use as chests of drawers. But! “Collapse without looking” at such a round bed will no longer be possible, so choose what is more important to you.

"Podium and boxes"

Judging by the reviews, you should give preference to models with a podium or drawers, which save space well and allow you to put away bed linen in them.

"Sofa bed"

Sleeping in the living room? Then buy a round sofa bed, which is very compact when assembled. Read about how to choose it in specially prepared material.

Reviews and colorful photos

Below you will find reviews from people who had the good fortune to buy a round sofa bed.

Irina, 31 years old, Yekaterinburg. My husband and I purchased a round sofa bed. This was my old dream. Very comfortable for sleeping. I honestly admit, three of us sleep with a small child, it’s very comfortable, there’s enough space. We don’t fold the sofa because the space in the bedroom allows it. When unfolded in a round state it looks very cool. I recommend it to everyone if you like original upholstered furniture.
Vasily, 23 years old, Kostroma. My wife's parents gave us a round sofa bed for our wedding because we were moving to a new apartment. At first we couldn’t figure out how to disassemble it, so they delivered it to us assembled. After we figured out the transformation device, we were pleasantly surprised; we really liked the orthopedic sleeping place. The diameter of the sleeping place is more than two meters and sleeping together is very comfortable. When my wife’s friends saw the unfolded bed, they simply squealed with delight, it looks very original.
Elena, 26 years old, Ufa. We bought the Luna model on the advice of friends. In principle, it’s a good sofa, it looks very original. But there is one caveat. My boyfriend is very tall. If we sleep together, then when he rolls down to the edge of the sofa at night, his legs dangle. Comfortable sofa, but the diameter of the bed could have been larger.
Marina, 29 years old, Moscow. Friends had a round sofa bed at their dacha. Once we spent the night with the children. In principle, for a one-time overnight stay it’s not bad at all. Everything fit, the sleeping area is very spacious. But if we consider it as an option for daily recreation, then I really wouldn’t want to. The joints between the elements of the sofa are felt. I think my back would hurt incredibly after a month of use. Although if the model was produced with an anatomical base, it would be possible to buy it.

Advantages

The very first and obvious advantage is the originality of the round bed. Such furniture is very rare and not everyone can afford it.

Comfort is another undeniable advantage. The dimensions of an average round bed significantly exceed the area of an ordinary rectangular one. Yes, and you can sit on it as you please.
A round bed in the interior will be safer and will allow you to avoid any injuries, because it does not have corners, and it is almost impossible to fall from such a bed.
If you are planning to buy a round transformable bed with a storage compartment, then another advantage becomes relevant - storage space . Since such a bed is larger than a regular one, there will be much more space for things inside.

A spacious storage compartment is hidden in the bed podium

Flaws

The first significant drawback is the high cost . Even an inexpensive round bed from Ikea will cost an order of magnitude more than a regular rectangular one. But this is the price to pay for exclusivity and originality.
The large size is both a plus and a minus of such a bed. It is not suitable for a small bedroom due to its dimensions, but in a large room it will look truly luxurious. If you are the owner of an average two-room apartment, but really dream of a round bed, the solution could be a round sofa bed, which will take up less space when assembled.

A small selection of bedding is another difficulty that every owner of a unique bed faces. Finding a duvet cover and sheet of the right size and shape is almost impossible, so they will need to be sewn to order.

As an option - a regular rectangular stock on a round pedestal

Many owners complain that falling asleep on such a bed was quite difficult at first. Problems with sleep are caused by the unusual shape of the furniture.

Is a round bed comfortable?

A round bed is the dream of many lovers of original interiors.

Although many people will be surprised by a round bed, we know how many round beds are in the homes of our clients. During our work, we have sewn more than 1000 round sets of bed linen and have a lot of interesting information, which we are ready to share with you.

What kind of interior is a round bed suitable for? Often clients, having heard about a round bed, ask the same question: “Where can I put this type of furniture?” First of all, the room must be large. If the bedroom area is 15 meters or more, a round bed will look decent and harmonious. But in small rooms, a round bed can make an awkward impression.

If, despite the modest living space, you still can’t give up on your dream, we recommend choosing a bed in a neutral color. For example, for a light interior - cream, without a massive headboard and excessive decorative elements. Such a bed will not visually “eat up” the available space.

We've seen some successful examples of placing round beds in small rooms. Everything there was so delicately thought out - cream colors, a minimalist bed, airy tulle instead of heavy curtains on the windows, that everything overall looked beautiful and harmonious.

Experts recommend supporting a round bed with any interior design elements - this could be a round ceiling frame, a round carpet, circular patterns in wall decoration or other round pieces of furniture: armchairs, lamps, chandeliers.

Round sofa bed in the bedroom: types and rules for choosing

A round folding sofa is an exclusive solution for the design of a spacious bedroom or living room. Such an unusual interior detail goes well with exquisite coffee tables and bedside tables. Operating parameters and installation recommendations directly depend on the selected mechanism for transforming a round sofa.

Round sofa bed for sleeping in the interior

It is recommended to use a round sofa bed as a central element of the interior. This furniture will attract close attention, so you will have to carefully study the advantages and disadvantages of each of the presented transformation mechanisms.

Distinctive features of the round transforming sofa:

The minimum diameter of the bed exceeds 200 cm, but when assembled, such a massive structure looks compact.
Suitable for exclusive design of premises where the emphasis is on functionality and comfort.
Various types of filling and upholstery are used in production.
With the help of such a sofa you can arrange a spacious bedroom and studio apartment.
Manufacturers produce furniture with drawers for storing linen and built-in shelves.
All structural elements fold out, including the backrest and armrests.

The main disadvantage of a round sofa is its dimensions, so it will not fit into every room. Due to its specific shape, the seat is often designed to accommodate only two or three people. Using a compound mechanism will add some more seating.

It is recommended to purchase a round sofa for the bedroom only if there is free space in the room. Owners of such furniture will have to sew bedding to order and allocate space for storing bedding (if we are talking about a composite sofa without a linen box).

Requirements for placing a round sofa:

It is worth adhering to the proportions of the room. When unfolded, the sofa becomes twice as large, so it will have to be installed in rooms with excellent lighting and high ceilings.
It is recommended to get rid of excess furniture. If we are talking about a composite sofa, you will have to remove armchairs and chairs from the room. Their functions will be taken over by the modular elements of the sofa.
You will have to abandon complex decor. Minimalism in the interior is welcome. Additional details should only be used for Empire or Baroque style.
The appearance of accompanying furniture (bedside tables, shelves, tables) must correspond to the style of the sofa. You have to select the sets yourself according to size, shape and color.

When assembled, the sofas resemble a semicircle or arc, so they will fit well even into a small room, but a disproportionate distribution of space will cause a number of serious problems with unfolding. The interior of the room will have to be carefully thought out. A full-size round sofa is suitable for private houses and apartments with a modern layout.

What types of round beds are there?

First, it’s worth considering the main types of round beds. If we take the age criterion as a basis, we can distinguish models for adults, children, and also for newborns. They can vary not only in size and design, but also in functionality.

If we take the method of placement as the basis for the classification, then we distinguish between stationary and more unusual hanging beds. The former are placed on the floor, and the latter are suspended and fixed to the ceiling using special fasteners. In the second case, the sleeping place seems to be floating in the air, and this gives the interior uniqueness. But such extravagant and complex placement is not always possible.

Based on the design features, two main types can be distinguished: a standard bed and a modern transforming bed. The first is a monolithic sleeping place in the form of a solid frame and mattress. But transforming models can change configuration and perform several functions at once. For example, on sale you can find transformable children's beds that can be used as a cradle or cradle for newborns, a playpen, a sofa and a full-fledged bed.

And some complex designs allow you to organize a table with two chairs. It also becomes possible to change the height of the bottom with the mattress. As for options for adults, you can find comfortable sofa beds on sale.

Beds also vary in design and can be laconic and restrained or bright, creative and interestingly decorated.

Considering the pros and cons

You should start with the advantages that a round bed has:

This item will definitely take a central place in the bedroom interior, transform the design and add zest to it. Such models look unconventional and very original, so you will have the opportunity to decorate the room in an elegant and exclusive way.
A round bed will provide maximum comfort while sleeping, since you can sit on it in any way, especially for one person.
Since the models in question do not have sharp corners, they minimize the risk of injury, which is especially important if there are small children in the house.
A round bed will fit into many bright and modern styles, such as high-tech high-tech, creative pop art, a kind of avant-garde, and sophisticated modern.

Now let's list the disadvantages:

Most non-standard round models have a high cost, significantly higher than the price of more conventional rectangular beds. Not everyone can afford such a piece of furniture.
A round bed takes up a lot of space. In addition, it cannot be placed in a corner and pushed close to the wall, so the free space will be significantly reduced. Only those with spacious bedrooms should choose such models.
At first, the sleeper may experience some discomfort due to the unusual and unusual shape. And if the bed belongs to two people, they may face inconvenience, because the area decreases towards the edges.
It is not easy to choose bedding for a round bed. Firstly, it is not sold in all stores, and secondly, it costs much more than the standard one.

Round bed in the interior: pros and cons + photos

A round bed is bold and extravagant. But it's expensive. The bed itself is non-standard, you need to order it, you need to look for a place where and how to put it. And bed linen, mattresses and blankets - everything must be made to order!

This is one side of the problem. But there is another thing: very few people have a round bed; we can safely say that there are only a few such houses. And if you attract design thought, take care of the interior of a room with a round bed, make it refined, comfortable and elegant... There is something to think about, because the invested funds are not only losses, but also gains.

So, let's examine the problem in detail.

↑ Disadvantages of a round bed

Let’s look at them first, so that later it will be more convenient to neutralize the minuses with the pluses. The very fact of bringing the shortcomings forward suggests that they are not as important as the advantages.

1. Expensive and difficult to implement

This is the first thing that catches your eye. Those who are short on funds are eliminated in the first round, even on the approaches to the problem. Wealthy citizens who are inclined to go to a furniture showroom and choose the appropriate option from what is available should also not think about round beds - this is not for them.

But others, with a rich imagination, enterprising and energetic, can seize on this idea. Yes, you also need finance, but this problem does not exist for everyone; it can even be interesting to invest money wisely, providing your home with comfort and making it the envy of all your friends.

2. Dimensions of premises

Residents of small and standard apartments, two-room and even three-room apartments, also do not think about round beds. But owners of mansions and country houses may well be enthusiastic about such an idea. Especially if they have rooms with rounded walls.

3. Custom bedding

Some cleverly circumvent this problem by making the base of the bed round, and the sleeping place itself, starting from the mattress, a standard rectangular one. There is such a variant of a round bed, but it turns out to be some kind of hybrid. He will still have a headboard and a rigidly fixed body position. This is not a round bed, but an imitation of it, or a stylization of it. True lovers of original furniture options will not stop mid-jump and choose the option of a full round bed.

4. A matter of habit

This will be more difficult, at least for some individuals who have difficulty unlearning long-term habits. All his life a person has fallen asleep on a longitudinal bed, but now he has to fall asleep in a round one, this is unusual and therefore difficult. But for others, difficulties of this kind do not stop, but, on the contrary, awaken curiosity. Anyway, it's interesting to try.

↑ Advantages of a round bed

They are there, although at first glance they are not particularly noticeable. But it’s worth looking more closely, again, and again, and thinking - and you will see its undeniable advantages.

1. Security

The main feature of a round bed is that it has no sharp corners. This property is inherent in its nature and is due to the indisputable authority of planimetry. That is, neither you nor your child will be able to hit the corner of the bed - simply because it has no corners. Even falling onto the floor from a round surface is more difficult than from a rectangular platform. Everywhere there is a bulge that keeps it from falling.

2. Comfort

Agree that on a round bed there is incomparably more freedom of body position. There is no up and down, beginning and end, a feeling appears that is akin to weightlessness, but it acts in a plane, and not in space. A regular bed has a standard reference point - the headboard. In extreme cases, you can swap your legs and head, but lying across or obliquely is already problematic, because it’s simply uncomfortable. It’s the same thing on a round bed: spin as you wish, because the diameter of the circle is the same in any direction.

3. Ample storage space

Since the bed itself is large, more things can be hidden in its depths. The allocated space for bedding increases slightly, which means that more space for storing other items is available to the hostess. This is never superfluous. What if you arrange a bed on a podium? In general, it will turn out to be a branch of the pantry.

4. Originality

This is especially tempting. After all, the standard becomes boring, boring and uninteresting. And here - absolute uniqueness, a round bed in a single copy, in a unique design. Moreover, it is fashionable. And since it is fashionable, expensive and difficult to achieve, then such a thing already becomes a status item. And who doesn’t want to improve their status?

↑ How to arrange a room with a round bed

No matter how chic the thing in itself is, it will not have a look if it does not fit into the surrounding interior. Therefore, you need to plan everything well in advance.

1. We fit the round bed into the interior style

Analyze whether a round bed will match the style that prevails in the decor of your home. If it is Provence, country or shabby chic, then a harmonious combination will not work. Even a restrained classic will creakingly allow an unconventional form into itself, although here the matter is far from hopeless.

But free modern interiors will willingly accept a new idea. Styles such as hi-tech, loft, art deco, fusion, minimalism, eclecticism, and even more so the lush Venetian style can be successfully combined with a round bed. In each case it will be played out in its own way, but naturally and interestingly.

2. We use the structural features

Typically, the layout of rooms in a house is carried out in straight lines. But there are situations when there is a round wall or lantern, and it would be a sin not to use them to install a round bed. Man, in essence, is a defenseless creature, and he instinctively tries to sleep somewhere in a cozy corner or at least against the wall. Usually the headboard is turned towards the wall, and sleeping in this position is much more pleasant. Therefore, it is advisable to place a round bed not in the middle of the room, but somewhere in a quiet place.

3. We attract furniture items as allies

A good idea is a canopy, it is simply created for a round bed. It can be created on a grand scale, with the participation of the ceiling, this will create an additional effect of privacy. Some even manage to place a ceiling chandelier inside the canopy.

To create harmony in the room, you can use any piece of furniture with rounded lines: mirrors in oval and round frames, curly bedside tables, chairs of fancy shapes, carpets with patterns of waves, curls and zigzags, elegant decorative items. For example, an oval or round table made in the colors of the base or decorative bedspread is appropriate. Often they create a bedside furniture ensemble, including bedside tables, lamps, etc., made in the same style as the bed itself.

4. Select the correct diameter of the circle

It all depends on who the round bed is intended for. If for adults, then its diameter must be at least 2½ meters. If the bed is made for a teenager, then 2 meters in diameter may be enough. And you can make such a bed for a child; it will definitely be enough for several years.

So, the idea of a round bed does not seem far-fetched or pretentious at all. This is just an interesting idea that creative lovers of rich interiors can successfully bring to life.

How to make the right choice?

When purchasing an unusual round bed, you should consider several criteria:

Dimensions. They are determined based on the size of the bedroom, as well as the age, size and number of people sleeping. So, a bed with a diameter of less than 2 meters is suitable for organizing a child’s or teenager’s sleeping place. The diameter of 2 meters is approximately the same as a standard single rectangular bed. If the figure is 2.5 m, then the item will replace a narrow double bed (up to 180 centimeters). And if you want to get a comfortable and wide sleeping place for two, then choose a model with a diameter of 2.8 m. But remember that a large and bulky bed will not fit into a small bedroom and will take up almost all the free space.
Availability of a podium. The mattress can be immersed in the frame and located close to the floor surface or placed on a podium (usually it has a round shape and identical dimensions, but may be smaller than the sleeping place, extend beyond it, or have slightly different shapes).
Availability of free space under the mattress. You can store laundry in a niche, which will save space. You can also find comfortable models with drawers on sale.
The presence of a headboard. On the one hand, it provides comfort, but, on the other hand, it is not always necessary, since you can sit on a round bed in any way.
Materials. Modern pieces of furniture are made of wood, high-quality chipboard, metal and even plastic.

If you decide to purchase an original round bed, then first weigh the pros and cons, select the appropriate option and think about the placement of such a piece of furniture in the bedroom.

Round bed dimensions

The round bed has a non-standard size - from 2 meters. But manufacturers recommend purchasing products with a length of 210 cm or more for a comfortable sleep. If the dimensions of the room allow, you can purchase a round bed from 3 meters. You can be sure that you will be provided with a comfortable sleep on such a product for many years. Very often, people buy round beds with a diameter of 220 cm. Before buying a round bed, experts recommend the following useful trick: lay out in the bedroom with tape or rope the size of the mattress that is most comfortable for sleeping. This will help you correctly determine the size of the product and not make a mistake with your choice.

Round sofa bed in the interior

Many of us dream of round sofa beds, because they are both a comfortable sleeping place and a stylish interior item that can breathe new life into a room. True, there are two opinions about such furniture. On the one hand, it is considered not the most practical, on the other, the reviews are positive, drawing attention to the unusual nature of this design.

It is worth noting that such sofa beds are most popular among the younger generation, who love everything unusual and eccentric. Surely, it is the tastes of such buyers that are primarily taken into account, because if you look at the photo of round sofa beds, you can note their catchy, bright and non-standard appearance. By the way, it won’t be difficult to find a model made, for example, in leopard or pink colors.

What's new?

The answer to this question is hidden in the name itself. This transforming crib has an unusual round-oval shape . And it is called a transformer because it can easily be transformed - become narrower or wider, longer and oval or round, the sleeping place itself can rise and fall within the height of the sides. The description for round cribs states that they can be used up to the child’s school age due to the possibility of expansion. In addition, it can become a sofa, chairs with a table in the middle, a changing table, a playpen - the possibility of such transformations of the crib is indicated by the postscript “three in one”, “four in one”, “eight in one”, etc. In the title.

Transformation device and mechanism

You can also find simply round beds on sale, but the disadvantage is their size, so if installation is possible, it should be in spacious rooms. A sofa is a device that transforms into a bed. When folded, it looks like a semicircle (as in the photo), and during sleep it unfolds, taking the shape of a circle. There are the following types of transformation mechanism:

Rotary - the orthopedic base seems to roll out, and as a result, a full-fledged sleeping place is formed from two semicircles. A double seat acts as a mattress. Note that the back does not take part in the transformation. Some models with such a transformation mechanism are equipped with drawers located in an orthopedic base, which is a definite plus.
With the participation of the back of the sofa bed - this transformation mechanism also involves rolling out a semicircular podium on which the back is placed (example in the photo). In this case, sitting does not take part in the transformation. The podium is also equipped with a linen drawer in most models.
Composite mechanism - its essence lies in the connection of two triangular poufs, which forms the center of the berth. Next, the semicircular back of the sofa is folded back, and as a result a circle is formed. The advantage of such a round sofa bed is that when folded, there will also be two poufs along with it.

Pros and cons of models

Such upholstered furniture undoubtedly looks very stylish and interesting not only in the photo, but also in reality. With its help you can create a special interior filled with something unusual and attractive. It will be useful in the case when the living room is also a bedroom. And of course, the advantage is a comfortable sleeping place, which is not in plain sight, but is created using the transformation methods described above.

Meanwhile, a round sofa bed also has its disadvantages, which are indicated by numerous reviews. Firstly, it takes up a lot of space. Of course, when folded this is not so critical, but when unfolded it will require additional free space, which small bedrooms or living rooms can hardly boast of. So, its installation is advisable only in those rooms where the space allows it. Secondly, you will have to look for suitable bedding due to the non-standard shape of the bed. This will not be easy to do, and the prices are much higher. Thirdly, when folded, a round sofa bed cannot boast of a large seating area that can accommodate no more than two people.

A round sofa bed is undoubtedly an interesting solution. But you should think in advance about the possibility of installing it, taking into account the size of the room, the style of the interior and your own taste preferences.

Advantages of the crib

So, having received a general idea of the bed that is new to the children’s product market, it’s time to start analyzing its “pros” and “cons.” The advantages are the following points:

Almost all models have wheels , and therefore the bed can be easily moved both around the room and throughout the apartment. In this case, you don’t even need to use force to move the bed, and the child will always be in sight of the parents.
The height of the bed can be adjusted . This high position will be convenient for women who have undergone a cesarean section, since they will not have to bend over for the baby. For a child who is older and more active than a baby, a low sleeping position is suitable - it will be lowered so that the child cannot get out of the crib on his own.
Due to the absence of solid side walls and the rounded shape of the bed, a full view of the child in the crib is achieved. No matter where the crib is located in the room, parents will always be able to see the baby.
If, in addition to the baby, there are other children or animals in the apartment, then this crib is also absolutely safe for them - it does not have sharp corners that could cause injury.
Most models are equipped with a pendulum mechanism , which can also be purchased additionally, which will allow you to rock your baby right in the bed.
It can easily be transformed into a sofa, an additional crib standing at the parents' bed with the open side, a changing table, chairs with a table, etc.
By purchasing additional parts to increase the length of the bed, you can expand it depending on the growth of the child, and therefore use it for a long time.
