Dolphin corner sofas

Corner sofas with a dolphin mechanism are a relatively comfortable and comfortable type of furniture. But it has its own subtleties that cannot be ignored. Only taking into account the characteristic features of each product and the nuances of style allows you to achieve success.

You can often meet a corner sofa with a dolphin mechanism. Adherents of such a transformation system say that it unfolds with the formation of the maximum free space. Therefore, even large or actively moving people in a dream can sleep at night completely calmly. Wherein transformation does not increase the footprint. It is very nice where various objects are literally at every step.

The mechanism moving along the guides is made of steel. The full operation of the product depends on the quality of this steel. The rollers for the frame movement are usually made of polyurethane. Most often, the frame is covered with chipboard or thick plywood.

A pair of extendable sections are located under the seat. One of the sections is buried in another, and this is a fundamental point, regardless of the constructive innovations. When the sofa is unfolded, both elements must be pulled out. Only after this a large sleeping area is formed. Thanks to a set of springs and levers, lifting the frame with the dolphin is not a problem.

If you want to get a large berth, then you need to choose models without armrests. Sleepers feel freer and more comfortable on them. There is no need to constantly adjust to those armrests. Such a solution looks unusual and can be harmoniously incorporated into a room of any style. The increased capacity will delight primarily those who live in a small house or old apartment.

Little of, the elimination of armrests will make the furniture even visually lighter. This is fully in line with the key trend of modern design. If there are small children in the house, the armrests are a source of additional risk for them.

It is useful to take a closer look and to folding sofa beds. They can be placed even in a limited area - where a traditional bed will not fit. The vast majority of such modifications have boxes for linen. Therefore, there is no need to additionally buy cabinets or take up part of the space in wardrobes. At least 80% of corner sofa beds are similar to the letters "L" and "P"; the more complex configuration is usually made to order.

Are very popular models with shelves... These storage elements can be located not only on the corner, but also on the back wall, in the armrest and even in the backrest. The presence of shelves is possible in both L-shaped and U-shaped structures. Most often used are sofas with stand shelves. Such additions are attached to the backrest.

Their size is relatively small. But all the same, you can safely put a cup or glass, put the TV remote control, watch, mobile phone. More and more people give preference to sofas in which the shelf, as it were, continues the back. This can be done in open and closed ways. The advantage of this option is that the shelves reach a larger size and are located as comfortably as possible.

The most impressive performance is when the shelf occupies the entire area, right down to the seat. The capacity of such a storage system is maximum. Depending on the design of the designers, both niche shelves and compartments with a significant number of relatively medium-sized shelves and partitions are used.

When choosing a design, you also have to make a choice between sofas with a spring block and with soft fillers. The specific decision is more a matter of taste; if something is not clear, you can always consult with suppliers or sellers.

The use of springs began a long time ago. Upholstered furniture based on them was used in the middle of the last century. But since then, in technical terms, of course, everything has gone far ahead. True, the springs themselves have not changed much, but reliable linings have appeared. It is thanks to them that you can sleep peacefully on a spring sofa, without fear that something will stick in your side.

Deserve special attention sofas with orthopedic mattresses. Thanks to them, you can prevent the occurrence of many problems with the spine and joints. But it is very important to choose the right mattress design. Only those that are physiologically precisely engineered will guarantee the optimal effect.

The components of corner sofas with a dolphin mechanism are made from different raw materials.

In the distant past, sofas could only be found with solid wood frames. Now they also use:

• birch;
• maple;
• nut;
• beech;
• oak and other species.

But usually the preference is given to moderately expensive types of wood. The elite array increases the price of furniture many times over, and people try to avoid it. Pine is very cheap, but the problem is that it is very difficult to find an acceptable quality pine massif. Therefore, it is used only in ultra-budget furniture. You can use similar products, but it is impossible to count on their long-term operation.

The metal frames are quite strong and extremely difficult to damage. Such designs look great in high-tech style rooms. It will not be difficult to repair a sofa with a metal frame if it is damaged. Resistance to fire can be considered a plus. But all this is pretty much overshadowed by a significant mass of metal products.

It is important not only what the body of the sofa is made of, but also what it is surrounded by. If you do not restrict yourself to spring blocks, and take a closer look at softer solutions, then polyurethane foam will definitely be among the first. The density of this material directly depends on how durable it will be. Cast polyurethane foam can be formed into blocks of a rigidly specified size. But a "crust" forms on its surface, which prevents ventilation.

Therefore, in some cases, a "sandwich" (block polyurethane foam) is used. Regardless of this, the material recovers quickly even after severe stress.

Budget sofa models often make from padding polyester. It is environmentally friendly, but it is unlikely to last long. And also can be applied:

• periotecus;
• struttofiber;
• holofiber;
• latex;
• durafil.

A lot also depends on the upholstery fabric. Not all people can afford a genuine leather sofa. And its strength is not great. There are many known cases when a leather sofa suffered from sharp objects. A good alternative can be considered velours - it is externally pleasant, and the touch feeling is quite good.

Velor furniture fits perfectly in boho and shabby chic styles. This fabric has a special velvety texture.

Flock is recommended for those who have animals at home. Such material will survive all their "bullying" (within reasonable limits, of course). Can also be used:

• jacquard;
• velvet;
• tapestry;
• boucle;
• scotchguard.

Sofas 160 by 210 cm can be a great sleeping place. With such a width, you can already rest easy. On the other hand, the width of such furniture will not create any problems in everyday life. A prime example is Daynight New Enrich1 4039 from Askona. Furniture falls into a large group:

• 1400x2000 mm;
• 1500x2000 mm;
• 2000x2000 mm.

Among non-standard products, the following models are popular:

• 177x250;
• 300x200;
• 350x450;
• 400x400 cm.

The Art Nouveau style, despite the literal translation "modern", has existed for at least 100 years. It is characterized by plasticity of forms and general grace.

The style of Provence is no less popular. It is expressed in the use of rustic motives, "field" and "sea" colors. Most of the Provencal sofas are now small.

In addition to these two styles, the following are widely demanded:

• loft;
• minimalism;
• high tech;
• Scandinavian approach.

When choosing a corner sofa with a dolphin mechanism, it is imperative to find out whether it is possible to change the cover at home. This is especially important where they plan to keep pets. If you liked any one model, you should study the reviews about it on independent resources. One more nuance - it is best to purchase sofas and other furniture immediately in a set from direct manufacturers. It is safer than trusting small workshops or small shops.

A few more recommendations:

• carefully check the dimensions of the sofa;
• examine its hidden parts in search of defects;
• check the quality of the cladding;
• require quality certificates.
