And I will lay down-will lie down, on a sofa, on the convenient...
At last repair is finished. Ceilings are hung, floors are laid, wall-paper is pasted, the case-compartment is ordered. And here there is a sharp necessity in such is courageous-big and extraordinary soft, fantastically beautiful and home-style heat, in faultlessly stylish and such irreplaceable... A sofa!
On it we relax after the heavy working day, we watch TV or we read newspapers. Here we check diaries at children and we make the major family decisions. It is possible to tell, that a sofa (and time spent on it) in our life takes rather big place. Therefore it is necessary to approach to a choice of this with special responsibility. Sofas can be divided into six types ("reference point" - a way of their apportion): a sofa - "book", a sofa - "telescope", a sofa - "dolphin", a sofa - "folding bed", a sofa - "accordion". We will tell about the most widespread kinds.
Sofa - "book" - the most popular type of a sofa. The majority of "books" has two positions: with the lifted back and spread out (when the back becomes berth continuation). Advantages of such sofas that they are compact, have a box for bed-clothes, can be completed with orthopedic mattresses, and the most important thing is one of the most inexpensive models. However, they have also lacks, for example, the berth turns out rough ("back" and «седушка» cannot lay down exactly, without a surface curvature), and, besides, of such sofas it is impossible to put some closely to a wall.
The principle of transformation of such sofa in «the sleeping area» is simple: lift a seat before click, pull it on itself, and then lower. It is ready! There is one more version of this model: "eurobook" or a sofa. It possesses more simple design and the reliable mechanism. To spread out it, it is enough to pull sitting on itself, and on the released place to lower a back.
In furniture stores of Chelyabinsk the wide range of "books" is presented. The Light green leather sofa (firm "Юнусов&К") costs 24000 roubles (the average price). The leather beige sofa-corner becomes fine addition of your interior for 78650 roubles.
At a "telescope" sofa - (it still name «выкатной») parts of a sleeping surface are put forward from within, as at a telescope. The difference of height of a berth is compensated by pillows. The beauty and ergonomics, a long berth, presence of a capacious box concerns advantages of this model for linen. Besides, many models are completed with orthopedic lattices (mattresses). Unfortunately, and these sofas have lacks. First, at their purchase it is necessary to calculate attentively, whether there will be in your apartment a place where "telescope" to be put forward. Secondly, castors выкатной parts can leave traces on a floor and cling to carpet coverings. Thirdly, наполнитель диванных pillows quickly wears out.
The principle of transformation of a sofa - of "telescope" is that: pull a seat on itself, pull out it for all length of a berth, cast away a pillow. So it is possible to disassemble the smartest бардовый a sofa with цветастыми pillows (firm «Soft sofas») for 78990 roubles.
The mechanism of a sofa - of "dolphin" is arranged so, that from under the basic sitting the additional module is rolled out. It, in turn, rises upward to sitting level, forming a berth. The beauty and a variety of models concerns advantages of sofas of such type (can be as the classical forms, well similar to plush starprobe vehicles), reliability in operation, an equal berth, complete set possibility orthopedic lattices (mattresses). Unfortunately, at such sofas is absent a box for linen (except angular variants), and sitting is pressed through faster, than an additional sleeping surface. Besides, firm castors of such sofa can leave traces on a floor and cling to carpet coverings.
Principle of transformation of a sofa - of "dolphin": pull on itself a face-to-face part of a sofa, put forward it completely, then for handles extend a mattress. Such "dolphin" will be given to you by company Allans for 40000 roubles (leather) and for 16500 roubles (from a flock).
At a sofa choice it is important to consider not only its model, but also of what it consists: наполнители, types of mattresses, an upholstery. Distinguish three principal views наполнителей: foam rubber, пенополиуретан and spring blocks. Very often them combine, creating «a puff pie» from materials of various density and softness. Such stuffing gives sensation of elasticity and long keeps the form. Also use various synthetic fibres. Many consider, that the good sofa is a sofa with spring blocks because only springs can provide orthopedic effect. But frequently the qualitative and competently picked up synthetic material serves much longer, than springs. The matter is that it is necessary to cover spring blocks with several layers of felt, felt, batting, foam rubber that the sitting person not to feel the «a soft place» each curl of everyone пружинки). All it raises the cost price of spring blocks. Therefore manufacturers choose qualitative foam rubber more often, than springs. However, the model according to your desire chosen by you without effort «запружинят» (it will cost approximately 2000 roubles).
It is impossible to ignore and an upholstery of your sofa: its cost «одежки» in many respects solves, the sofa as a whole how many will cost. Now into the list обивочных materials enter not only natural fabrics and a skin, but also a considerable quantity of the new artificial and mixed fabrics. Modern technologies give обивочным to materials durability, do them water-and грязеотталкивающими, and in need of them it is possible to subject and dry cleaning. The most popular in Chelyabinsk «диванные fabrics» – a flock, a gobelin, рогожка, a microfiber, a skin and a leather substitute.
The flock has the mixed structure. This fabric is not rumpled, does not burn out on the sun, does not absorb smells, possesses very high stability to истиранию. To clean a flock simply: it is enough to spend on a surface a damp sponge. A sofa from this fabric the seller-adviser in one of shops, as it almost the unique fabric steady to коготкам my favourite cat-maruski hotly recommended me.
Furniture gobelins are meant as the tapestry materials simulating gobelins of manual work. Their drawing turns out by difficult interlacings of threads of various colour and the invoice. Gobelin fabrics are easily cleaned, but possess enough high degree истирания. Alternative to them and a flock – рогожка. On structure it reminds a linen canvas, but in practice is a product from a natural clap that does a sofa of it very vulnerable to pollution and mechanical influences. All these lacks can be avoided, having bought a sofa with an upholstery from a microfiber - the duplicated fabric which can consist on 100 % of polyester or on 100 % from a clap. Under the invoice it can be knitted or woven. The microfiber is not torn, does not fade, does not absorb a liquid and does not roll down.
Running start of the prices for a fabric the notable. Their cost depends on structure and from the country-manufacturer. For example, the flock can cost from 120 to 350 roubles for metre. Accordingly, that is cheaper – straight from China, and more expensive variant - from Turkey and Germany. The average price of velour – 250 roubles, a gobelin – 230 roubles for metre. The most expensive covering of a sofa – a skin. It is natural ecologically pure product. She breathes, easily transfers temperature changes and is the strongest and easy enough in circulation a material. Only direct sunlight and too a heat can put harm to a skin. Well and, of course, to clean a skin it is possible only with application of special cleaners.
The leather substitute on appearance completely simulates a skin. But this material has a synthetic basis, therefore possesses большей wear resistance and durability. Leather substitutes hold the form, not электризуются longer, are waterproof. Sofas with such covering are easy for cleaning practically any washing-up liquids. However, you see, that «the leather sofa» sounds more solidly, than «a sofa from a leather substitute».
About that the sofa has such detail as a skeleton, usually recollect when it starts to creak. To save itself from this trouble, a sofa skeleton it is possible and it is necessary to check up directly in shop. As the basic material for them wood, plywood and ДСП, as a rule, serves. The qualitative material is well dried and stuck strong together. If at a design there are elements from ДСП - they should be covered by a paint protective layer to interfere with allocation of pitches. More often manufacturers combine wood and plywood. Therefore at purchase necessarily check up a thickness of plywood there where loading on it will be a constant (a berth, a linen box), and also take an interest, which tree is used in a sofa skeleton. The firmest tree species - a beech, a nut, an oak, an ash and mahogany, but use them in furniture of a class "lux". Much more демократичнее on a class and the price a birch – also very strong material, but costs much more cheaply. And here wood of coniferous breeds – soft, besides, it is necessary to track, that it has been well dried. Except wood quality of a skeleton is influenced also by its fastenings - stability of a sofa depends on them. Besides, on quality of their processing it is possible to judge and quality of a sofa as a whole.
Design and style of a sofa you, undoubtedly, will choose, being guided by own preferences. The main thing that it was harmoniously entered in the general interior of a room. But before you should solve, which sofa is necessary to you – two-or three-local. On the double it will be a little rather small, if you live not one. Therefore for an average family recommend three-local, or various combinations of two-or three-local sofas and folding armchairs-beds more often. Naturally, their sizes in the disassembled kind should "be entered" in the size of a room. Do not forget and about sofa proportions: if it is with a low back, without normal support for a head and a back no sensation of beauty will replace to you comfort.
All these councils will help you to choose a sofa with a worthy degree of quality at the corresponding price. But sensation of comfort for everyone individually, therefore be not ashamed to test directly in shop all delights of the future purchase. Settle down on a sofa how you would make it houses – only so it is possible to learn, how much it is convenient. And then rest of the house at the TV or behind book reading will be for you truly invaluable pleasure.
