Which fold-out mechanism to choose in your sofa or corner sofa?
When we are about to choose a sofa for our day or guest room, we think about all the aspects that we should take into account. Will modern design and trendy fabric be enough? These aspects are definitely important to you. However, we have good news for you: once you add functionality to the mix, you have got yourself a perfect piece of furniture. You will find all of that in our store. In today’s blog entry, we will talk about sofas that are fashionable, functional and for every budget.
Fold-out sofas – what to consider when buying a sofa bed?
When we buy a living room sofa that, from time to time, will also function as sleeping space for our guests or a sofa that we want to use as an everyday bed, we need to ask ourselves a few questions and carefully check out the sofas that are available on the market. We wrote this blog entry as a guidebook, which will present a few types of mechanisms that you can find in fold-out sofas, describing their characteristics.
Living room furniture should be, above all, comfortable. It would be great if, together with comfort, it also offered modern design and functionality. Trendy fabric and generous colour scheme are another aspects that we also take into account. The most important thing is to find a sofa model that will combine all these features and will allow you to create a comfort zone of your dreams.
Fold-out sofas are definitely the most popular living room furniture. Everyone who decides to go for a sofa bed wants to create a room that will not only be great-looking, but most importantly functional. Once you know which sofa you want to buy, you should also think about choosing the one with the most comfortable and functional fold-out mechanism. What fold-out systems are currently available on the market?
Dolphin – the most popular sofa fold-out system on the market
This mechanism is used in corner sofas. It is very quick and easy, as well as quiet and practical if you have a parquet floor or another type of wooden flooring. Under the seat, you have a special cart that you pull out and then lift up. READY. There is nothing simpler that getting a sleeping space ready with a corner sofa like that. It’s also worth mentioning that underneath the corner part (the chaise-lounge), you will usually find storage for bedding. It’s a great option if you don’t have another space to store your duvet and pillows. The sleeping surface in such sofas is even, which guarantees a good night’s sleep.
Our recommendation of a corner sofa with Dolphin fold-out mechanism:
Elegance velour corner sofa – a beautiful model of a corner sofa, it will add plenty of character to your day room and, most importantly, ensure everyone’s comfort: both when sitting on it during the day and at night, when it becomes your sleeping space.
DL fold-out mechanism – what does it look like?
With this mechanism it doesn’t matter whether it’s a sofa or a corner sofa as it is used in either of them. We can definitely say that it also is practical and very comfortable. First of all, you pull the seat out and then the backrest folds down. We can quickly and efficiently create an even and comfortable space to sleep on.
Our recommendation of a corner sofa with DL fold-out mechanism:
Globe velour corner sofa – this sofa is certainly worth recommending. It is comfortable, looks beautiful in a living room and – most importantly – it will allow you to quickly create an additional sleeping space for you guests. Storage for bedding, which is hidden underneath the seat, is very spacious and will ensure that you can store your bedding comfortably.
Click-clack fold-out system in upholstered sofas
When you hear “click-clack system”, a folding couch immediately comes to mind. Everyone knows it and it has exactly this fold-out mechanism. It is quick, comfortable and, importantly, you don’t have to use a lot of muscle strength. You just need to lift the seat up until you hear the distinctive “click-clack”. Then you lower the seat down and you have a perfect sleeping surface ready.
Our recommendation:
Cosy fold-out sofa – upholstered folding couch with click-clack mechanism will work well in a living room, guest room or even in your teenager’s bedroom. With it, you can create a comfortable sleeping space in just a few seconds.
Belgian automatic system – a quick sofa fold-out mechanism
Another name for this mechanism is sedac. In our store, you will also find plenty of sofas with this type of fold-out mechanism. You pull out a steel or aluminium frame, which is hidden just underneath the seat. You then unfold the frame and put it on its legs. The sleeping surface is made of a foam mattress, which is even, soft and very comfortable.
Our recommendation:
Dillon fold-out sofa – this English style sofa will be ideal for guest rooms.
Fold-out mechanism – cart type
This fold-out mechanism is also known under the name “half-Belgian”. It is just as quick and comfortable as all the mechanisms mentioned above and it is quite similar to the typically Belgian one. First of all, you pull the cart out (which is hidden under the seat) and then you unfold the mattress that is placed on it.
We hope that we managed to clarify a little bit the topic of different mechanism in fold-out sofas or corner sofas. When choosing a sofa for your home, we recommend reading this guide so you can choose a furniture model that will meet your expectations.
