Sofa eurobook: transformation mechanism, types of sofas, photo

Transformation of a sofa of a eurobook practically does not require efforts, and nothing prevents to put it close to a wall - there will be no need for additional space for layout. The simplicity of the mechanism explains the affordable price of such sofas. The design feature is that the back is quite far from the edge of the seat, and for convenience, the furniture is supplemented with large pillows filled with synthetic fluff. They are placed under the back, and get very comfortable seats.

The following can be distinguished advantages of sofas eurobooks:

• Smooth berth, without height differences;
• Various fillings for a berth, including orthopedic;
• It takes up little space in the room (especially models without armrests);
• Has a capacious linen box;
• A simple folding mechanism in which there is nothing to break - it will last a long time;
• A wide selection of models, including corner ones.

The mechanism of the sofa eurobook

It is rather difficult to talk about the mechanism in this case, since in fact in most models it is absent. It’s more correct to talk about the design. The part on which it sits is pushed “onto itself” along special guides, which can be either metal or wooden (from hardwood). After that the back falls forward.

The mechanism of the sofa eurobook works as follows:

1. The seat needs to be pulled "on itself" against the stop. A niche forms between the back and the seat, while the linen box is open, you can use it. In some models, the legs of the sofa have wheels that make folding easier. There are also models called “tic-tac”: if you pull the seat toward you, it slightly rises, “pops up” and then slowly slides into place. Such a mechanism is more complicated, and the cost of the sofa is higher.
2. After the seat is pushed forward to the stop, the back is lowered into the vacant niche. At the top is that part of it that, when folded, faces the wall. According to the filler, it corresponds to the seat. To better understand how the transformation mechanism of the sofa of the eurobook works, watch the video below.

Let us consider in detail all the pros and cons of such mechanisms.

Advantages of the mechanism:

• High reliability. Since there are no complex metal structures and moving parts, there will be no breakdowns, and possible problems can be easily fixed independently, without the help of specialists.
• Easy to use. To disassemble and assemble the sofa eurobook, you do not need to make much effort, this is done quickly and easily.
• Affordable price. A simple design does not require large manufacturing costs, therefore, the final price is also low.

The disadvantages of the mechanism:

• Layout When the sofa folds out, the legs can scratch the floor or linoleum. The wheels attached to the legs solve the problem, but they are not suitable for carpets, since over time they form a knurled "path", crushing the villi.
• Sleeping place. It consists of two parts, and there is a junction. Although there is no elevation difference, the joint can still be felt and create inconvenience.
• Installation You will have to leave some distance between the sofa and the wall, otherwise it will be difficult to decompose it.

Important: In quality sofas, all components have a snug fit. If you can stick your finger between the seat and the armrest, the sofa Eurobook, most likely, will not last long.

Sofas Eurobook with soft fillers

A soft sheet material - polyurethane foam, foam rubber, latex, etc. is placed under the seat upholstery. Consumer qualities and the price of the product change depending on the price of the filler.

• Foam rubber. The cheapest and shortest-lived option. Foam rubber quickly loses properties and collapses.

• PPU. The main advantage is the low price. It forms a rather hard berth, more suitable for sitting than for sleeping.

• Latex. Artificial and natural latex are excellent fillers, they provide a comfortable sleep. The main disadvantage is the high price.

Sofas Eurobook with spring unit

A block of springs is used as a filler, which provides high orthopedic advantages. There are two types:

• Bonnel (dependent springs). A block of springs interconnected by a "snake". The main plus is the relatively affordable price. Less - fragility. The average service life does not exceed 10 years, and the failure of one spring means that the entire sofa will quickly become unusable: the springs will begin to come out and break through the upholstery. In addition, the coupled springs are noticeably noisy if a person sitting or lying on the sofa starts to move.

• Independent. The block made up of springs packed in separate covers is a real orthopedic mattress. It provides comfort to a seated person, proper support for the spine in a dream, does not make noise if you toss and turn on it. Such a unit serves longer than the “bonnel” - up to 15 years. The only minus is the rather high price of sofas on Eurobooks with an orthopedic mattress.

Important: Not every mattress on which it is written that it is orthopedic is actually such. In order not to become a victim of fraud, check how the quality matches the declared. It is very easy to do. Ask for a glass of water, place it at the edge of the sofa, and sit in the center. In this case, the glass should not move, and the liquid from it should not splash.

Types of sofas eurobooks

According to the design features, you can divide all the sofas, folding according to this principle, into several types:

• Without armrests;

• With one armrest;

• With two armrests.

The shape can also be divided into two main types:

• Direct sofas;

• Corner sofas.

A eurobook sofa without armrests is an excellent choice if there is not much space in the room. It will be about half a meter shorter than with armrests with the same berth size. The only inconvenience is that the pillow may fall to the floor during sleep. A compromise option is one armrest. It takes a little more space, but it will be more comfortable to sleep, at night the pillow will remain in place.

Two armrests are more comfortable if you are mainly supposed to sit on the couch. In addition, armrests are often supplemented with MDF panels that act as tables, as well as a variety of designs like niches, shelves and even a minibar. It is quite comfortable, but the cost of a sofa.

Important: The armrest is a kind of “face” of the manufacturer, by its quality you can judge the quality of the entire sofa. Pay attention to the seam with which parts of the fabrics are sewn: if it is even, made with thick threads - the eurobook sofa is made on good equipment, professionally. An uneven stitch with a thin thread, with gaps, "wobble" means that the sofa is made in artisanal conditions.
