In small apartments, to create a comfortable and spacious sleeping area, it is quite appropriate to use a Eurobook sofa instead of a bed. You can seat guests on it for a pleasant conversation or watch TV, play with the kids or read, have a good rest or sleep.
You can choose a Eurobook sofa for the interior of the room in both shape and size, and it is also quite multifunctional, which is very clearly visible in the photo.
Soft fillers
Any soft sheet material, be it foam rubber or polyurethane foam, or latex, can fill the seat. The price for this type of fillers will depend on their quality.
Foam rubber. This material is cheaper than others because it deteriorates quickly.
PPU. This material ensures sleeping on a hard surface. Because of this, it is better used for sitting. Also quite inexpensive.
Latex. It will be comfortable to sleep on both natural and artificial latex. However, the price will be appropriate.
Spring block
Spring fillers are used for orthopedic Eurobook sofas. They come in two types:
Dependent type of springs (bonnell). In this block, the springs are interconnected. This kind of bond resembles a “snake”.
The most important advantage is not the inflated price. However, the fragility of operation should also be highlighted. On average, the period of use cannot be more than 10 years.
If at least one spring fails, the entire sofa will cease to be suitable, because due to the outward tendency of the springs, the upholstery will irreversibly tear off.
In addition, if the springs interlock, then when a person or animal makes any movements, they will begin to make noise.
Independent. The spring block, which consists of springs placed in covers, represents an effective orthopedic type system.
This makes the sitting very comfortable, and the person sleeping on such a sofa maintains the correct position of the spine while sleeping. The shelf life of this block can be up to 15 years. Sofas with such springs cost a lot.
Important note: Many mattresses say they are orthopedic. However, you should not always trust these inscriptions.
To avoid being scammed, it is better to check the quality yourself. This is not difficult to do. First you need to take a glass filled with water (if you don’t have one, ask to bring it), then place it on the edge of the sofa.
After this you will need to sit in the center. If the quality is perfect, then the glass will not move, and the water will not splash out of it.
Advantages and disadvantages
Like other upholstered furniture, Eurobook sofas have their advantages and disadvantages.
Pros:
- When assembled, it does not take up much space.
- People of any size can comfortably relax and sleep on the sofa.
- A simple transformation mechanism that can be easily disassembled (unfolded) and “works like a clock.”
- Under the front part, which slides out, there is a spacious drawer for bed linen.
- The Eurobook has a wide seating area. It can be expanded using removable pillows. You can sleep on the sofa without folding it out.
- The sofa can withstand heavy loads.
- Reliability and long service life.
- Large selection of models. You can buy a sofa from economy class to premium, with a price to suit every taste and budget.
- Fairly reasonable price compared to other sofas.
Minuses:
- When using furniture, the legs may press through the floor or leave scratches.
- When the sofa is unfolded, sleeping at the junction of two segments can be uncomfortable.
- The service life of products made from low-quality materials may be much lower than that declared by the manufacturer.
Kinds
- Eurobook sofas are divided into several types:
- There are no armrests;
- There is one armrest;
- There are two armrests.
The shape of Eurobook sofas implies two types taken as a basis:
- Straight sofas
- Corner sofas.
If the room is small enough, then the best choice would be a Eurobook sofa without armrests. The dimensions of its sleeping place are identical to those declared for the sofa with armrests, and it itself is 50 cm smaller than the second one.
The inconvenience caused to them is a pillow falling during sleep. To solve the problem, one armrest is enough, although this will require sacrificing a small living space.
It is advisable to have a sofa with two armrests if you plan to mainly sit on it.
In addition, the armrests can serve as tables, shelves and even a minibar. For these purposes, manufacturers use MDF.
Designs of this type are additions to comfort, but Eurobook sofas from manufacturers specializing in such slopes require a higher price.
Important note: The quality of a sofa can be determined by its armrest. Also, a lot depends on the seam: if it is threaded with thick threads and there is no “curvature” anywhere, then high-class professionals who used special modern equipment worked on it.
The thread is fragile with irregularities and other elements of this kind, indicating production at a very low quality level.
Features of the folding system
The Eurobook folding system is one of the most thoughtful options for sofa beds for houses and apartments. However, when choosing, you need to understand that not every mechanism is of high quality. It is better to choose a mechanism based on metal components. In particular, all connecting and moving elements must be made of metal.
It is also better to give preference to models of mechanisms that have adjustable backrests in several positions. Typically, the angle changes when you press a lever, which allows you to move the backrest from one position to another. When folded, the backrest is also securely fixed, eliminating any backlash or movement.
The frame of the sofa also plays a significant role. In most modern models, the frame is made of chipboard or MDF. The preferred option is using MDF, since this panel material is more durable and has a dense structure that ensures the reliability of screw connections. The best option is a frame using natural wood beams. It is stronger and more reliable than analogues.
Eurobook sofas in images
For a more complete understanding, photos of Eurobook sofas are provided to help you decide where it is best to place the sofa in the room or any other place.
It should be taken into account that the color scheme, quality of materials, as well as style can be very different, including extraordinary ones. One of them will certainly appeal to one or another buyer.
Upholstery selection
The most commonly used upholstery materials are:
- velor, which is suitable for both a children's room and a living room;
- flock will also look good in a nursery and will set a certain mood with its bright color;
- genuine leather is a win-win option for the kitchen, as it does not absorb dirt and odors and is easy to clean;
- Suede has a luxurious look, but is completely impractical to use.
