Therefore, when choosing this piece of furniture, the buyer first of all pays attention to its convenient and comfortable use in everyday life. In addition, the sofa is now in most cases used not only to sit down and relax, but also as a sleeping place. Folding and roll-out sofas are a convenient solution for creating extra sleeping places in the house. In the article we will talk about the features and nuances of choosing roll-out models without armrests.

The method of unfolding the sofa by rolling out is called "dolphin", since an additional berth rolls out from under the main one and, with the help of a special simple mechanism, rises, as if it emerges to the same level with it. With high-quality manufacturing of all parts of the mechanism, when all the rollers and wheels move freely, there are no gaps and so-called burrs, even a child can cope with this method.

Upholstered furniture of this type can be with or without armrests. Roll-out sofas without armrests are even more convenient, since more freedom is provided in the arrangement of furniture in the room, as well as during its operation. Of the advantages of such upholstered furniture, the following points can be called:

• when unfolding, there is no need to move the sofa from its place;
• the mechanism is easy to use;
• when folded, the sofa is compact, does not take up much space in the room;
• despite the daily folding and unfolding, high-quality furniture will last a long time and reliably;
• the roll-out principle of operation can be used in different versions of the models - both in straight and in corner sofas;
• when unfolded, a flat, spacious sleeping place is obtained.

The disadvantages include the fact that if there is carpet on the floor, the wheels will be difficult to move... Or, for example, there is a fear that the casters will ruin the floor covering. It is possible that a structure made entirely of metal will be heavy to lift. That's why when buying a sofa, you need to pay special attention to the quality of workmanship of parts, wheels, as well as the material of construction.

Nowadays, sofas of absolutely any size can be found in the general furniture market. The choice is also increasing the ability to order furniture according to your individual parameters... Depending on which room the furniture will be in, in the living room, in the nursery or in the kitchen, as well as how many people the sleeping place is calculated for, what area of ​​the room can be allocated to the unfolded sofa - all these factors are taken into account when buying or ordering upholstered furniture.

Suppose the width of the straight roll-out sofa in the assembled form is 160 cm, the depth of the seat is 90 cm, which means that in order to expand it into a double bed, it is necessary that the pull-out part is also about 90 cm. That is, depending on how much space is needed, sofas can be 160, 140 and 120 cm wide. In the latter case, the seat is designed for one teenager or child or not very large adult.

Models of roll-out sofas without armrests are of two types: straight and angular. Straight lines take up less space, which is suitable for small rooms, not very spacious kitchens, as well as for children's rooms. In the living rooms, you can arrange fairly large corner sofas.equipped with additional boxes for storing linen, or with an ottoman.

Basically, these are structures with an additional sleeping part of the system retractable forward. "Dolphin"which has already been mentioned.

There is also a sofa bed option that folds out forward in the form of a clamshell. This mechanism is called "Sedaflex", it is also called "American clamshell".

When choosing a sofa, you must first decide for what purposes it is needed... In the nursery, you need a small or possibly a double version. It will most likely be used as a bed on a daily basis. And therefore, it is desirable that the seat is made of spring blocks or an orthopedic mattress. A more spacious corner version with a box for linen can be placed in the living room.

If it will also be often used as a sleeping place, then it is better to choose a higher-quality mechanism and structural details, preferably a metal frame, as well as a denser upholstery material. Eco-leather upholstery is well suited for sofas located in the kitchen.
