The best sofas for sleeping

If furniture is designed to combine several functions, it is invariably subject to increased demands on quality and reliability. Repeated folding and unfolding cycles are the main factor affecting the durability of the structure. That is why the mechanisms of the sofas responsible for the transformation undergo long-term strength testing at the ANDERSSEN factory. Today, good sofas for sleeping are in no way inferior in quality and comfort to beds. Specially designed transformation designs minimize joint sensations individual elements furniture. The most comfortable for sleeping are sofas with accordion and eurobook transformation mechanisms. Let's take a closer look at their features.

The best sofa with an accordion mechanism

Accordionー a mechanism that has three elements folded in the form of an accordion (accordion). When assembled, the headboard element and the middle third of the berth are the backrest. And the element that is a footboard when disassembled becomes a seat when assembled. A very significant advantage of this system is the significant spaciousness of the sleeping space. It can comfortably accommodate 2 adults and 1 child.

Pay attention to the model. When folded, it is a compact upholstered furniture with a length from 152 to 212 cm. That is, you can choose whether to order a sofa for 2 or 3 full seats. The depth of the model is only 90 cm - it takes up very little space from the wall.

Features of the “Goodwin” accordion sofa bed unfolded:

  • sleeping place with dimensions 90/130/150/165/190 by 200 cm;
  • tightly fitted joints of elements;
  • moderately elastic sleeping place for optimal support of the spine.

The base of the mattress is high quality polyurethane foam, which ensures optimal back support during sleep and rest. The sofa is moderately soft, but at the same time quite elastic - it is pleasant to spend time on it with the whole family.

The model is finished with decorative wooden overlays, the shade of which an ANDERSSEN specialist will help you choose depending on the desired color and pattern of the upholstery.

The best Eurobook sofa for sleeping

Mechanism Eurobook implies the presence of only 2 elements of a berth. When folded, one half becomes the back of the sofa, and the other becomes a seating area. The Eurobook unfolds simply and quickly.

Sofas with such a transformation system are particularly durable. They are comfortable for 2 people to sleep. Ideal for small rooms, since unfolding does not imply a significant increase in the sleeping area.

The best sofa from the ANDERSSEN factory with a Eurobook transformation mechanism can be called the model. It combines the convenience and compactness of a straight sofa and an incredibly comfortable large sleeping area that is formed when this model is unfolded. A spring block provides support for the spine during sleep. Thanks to the spring system, the Goodwin model mattress is moderately hard and quite elastic - the combination is optimal for a healthy good sleep. Spring sofas are among the most durable upholstered furniture on the market.


Distinctive features of the “Goodwin Eurobook” sofa bed are:

  • small depth when folded - the model will take up only 98 cm of space from the wall;
  • the sofa is long enough when folded - 3 adults can comfortably sit on it;
  • when unfolded, the model does not take up much space - the distance from the wall is 161 cm.

You can choose any covering fabric for this model - our specialist will help you choose the option that suits the interior of your home.

If you use the sofa for sleeping only occasionally, you can also consider other original models from our factory. For example, the Light-D sofa bed is an attractive and very functional piece of furniture. When folded, despite its compactness (the depth of the model is only 91 cm), it forms 3 seats. One person can lie down on it without having to lay it down during the daytime rest.

When unfolded, it is a sleeping place with dimensions of 155 by 190/200 cm. The “Light-D” mattress is made of high quality polyurethane foam. It is quite elastic and provides optimal back support during sleep and rest.

The transformation mechanism of the Eurosoph is easy to use: the section with drawers for linen moves forward, and half of the seat reclines onto it. Separately, it should be noted that the storage space in this model is very spacious. This sofa will help solve the problem of lack of space for things in the apartment.

Armrests "Light-D" are made of wood. The color of the armrests and the sofa upholstery can be selected from the ANDERSSEN catalogue. Thus, the range of fabrics is represented by more than 5,000 types of upholstery materials - from jacquard and flock to artificial leather.

Oksana Fedorova

Sofas are one of the main and most expensive types of furniture. This multifunctional item interior, which bears a serious load. The Village decided to ask the experts how to choose the right sofa. Oksana Fedorova, co-owner and sales director of the online store and furniture manufacturer HomeMe, answers your questions.

What to look for when choosing a sofa

First of all, look at the quality of tailoring and check what the frame and filling are made of. You won't be able to see what's hidden under the upholstery, so the quality of the seams will tell you about the overall quality of the product. If they are sloppy, quality control in production is lame, which means the insides of the sofa leave much to be desired.

Be sure to ask the seller what the sofa frame is made of. There are three main types of frames: chipboard (compressed sawdust), plywood (layers of natural wood glued together) and metal frame. Frames made entirely of chipboard are very unreliable, since this material is intended for use in lightly loaded structures. It’s better to add 2–3 thousand and buy a sofa with a plywood frame or a metal frame.


The filler must be made of polyurethane foam of at least 25 density or a spring block. You should avoid cheap low-density foam rubber, which will sag after 2 weeks and cannot be restored.

I advise you to choose the fabric to your taste and pay attention only to its thickness. Too thin upholstery is another way to save money. Most likely, it will quickly stretch and stop holding its shape.

And the last thing is the quality of the transformation mechanism when it comes to a sofa bed. All mechanisms must be made of metal with a thickness of at least three millimeters, have high-quality painting and connecting elements. If the mechanism is painted carelessly, most likely the level of production where it is made is not the highest and there is a risk of breakdowns.

How to choose the right sofa based on the size of the room

The main criterion for selecting a sofa based on the size of the room is most likely the configuration of the sofa and its location. If there is a free corner, then a corner sofa will perfectly fill this space and will not take up precious space in the center of the room. If there is very little space, then it is better to choose a straight two- or three-seater sofa. For small apartments Nowadays there are many compact sofas up to two meters wide, which can be transformed into a full-fledged double bed. This solution, as sales show, is most loved by buyers of small apartments.

Do I need to require a guarantee and for how long?

The guarantee for upholstered furniture according to GOST is 18 months, and, accordingly, each manufacturer is obliged to provide at least a year and a half warranty. The main question is how the seller will fulfill its warranty obligations. If you buy from a middleman, then most likely, if quality problems arise, you will be sent to the manufacturer and the hassle will begin. Make sure that the seller has its own customer service and in case of a complaint you will deal with him and not with the manufacturer.

Complaints in upholstered furniture are, unfortunately, commonplace, since the production of sofas is predominantly manual labor and latest technologies this area almost unaffected. The main thing is that the seller takes a responsible and conscientious approach to troubleshooting.

How much should a good sofa cost?

A medium-sized, non-leather corner sofa bed costs from 20 to 40 thousand rubles. I believe that this price range is currently optimal for the price/quality ratio. Companies that provide the proper level of service and product quality can meet this requirement.

A straight sofa bed will cost about the same, since when folded out, a straight sofa - like a corner one - forms a full-fledged sleeping place, and approximately the same amount of materials is used for their manufacture.

I would not advise buying the cheapest sofas (in comparison with analogues from famous manufacturers) on unknown sites: most likely, the sofa, although similar in appearance, has a low level of assembly and quality of materials and will fail very quickly. There will be no one to respond to your requests, as they will redirect you to the manufacturer of this product or, even worse, they will simply begin to delay the process in the hope that you will get tired of it faster.


In general, the sofa market is structured very simply. Large manufacturers with design bureaus and good specialists, invent new high-quality models of sofas, invest money in promoting the model. If the model turns out to be popular, then hundreds of small and medium-sized manufacturers begin to copy this sofa, making it cheaper due to the quality of the frame, filling and upholstery materials, offering it to the buyer at a lower price.

Of course, if the budget for purchasing furniture is strictly limited, then most likely this is a good decision, but if it is possible to add 10–20%, then I recommend buying it anyway quality furniture, after all, this is not a T-shirt or a hammer, but a complex product subject to increased loads, on which you spend a third of your life (for those who use it for sleeping).

Where to look for a sofa: in online or offline stores

If you are looking for something specific, online stores are better: you can quickly find suitable model at a certain price. In regular stores, this is more difficult to do, since due to expensive rent, only
5–10% of the assortment. As a result, sales occur according to a picture from the catalog or from the words of the seller. The online store does not require prepayment. If the product is not suitable for our customers, we provide the buyer with the opportunity to refuse it upon delivery without giving a reason. Those especially responsible can preview the furniture in the showroom. If the buyer does not have specific preferences and wants to study pricing and product quality, then it is better to go to furniture centers, where the products of all leading manufacturers are presented in one place. You can get acquainted with the quality of the products, ask the price and understand who and what they are.

What Marketing Tricks Should You Not Buy?

The most common trick is to offer a super attractive price on a sofa that is out of stock. But customers will only find out about this when they come to the store. Such promotions attract interested buyers to showrooms, and then the bet is placed on sellers, who must redirect people to another product at the regular price.

The kitchen is an important part of any apartment, so its choice should be taken especially seriously. How to choose quality and durable option kitchen furniture and necessary elements? On modern market You can find both ready-made kitchens that are immediately installed in any apartment, and companies that carry out orders according to individual measurements. That is why, to make your search easier, you can make a rating of factories and manufacturers that are ready to fulfill all the client’s wishes, as well as provide reviews to form a more detailed opinion about each company.

Before choosing a manufacturer that will satisfy everything necessary requirements, you need to decide on several criteria. In the future, they will help you not to get lost in searching for a suitable company:

  1. Budget. A full-fledged kitchen is not a cheap pleasure, but you can always choose an option that will satisfy any budget. A clearly calculated budget will a great assistant and will save you from complications later.
  2. Type. Can be purchased ready-made kitchen, versions of which are always presented in stores and factories. This will help save time, since transportation and installation of all components usually does not take more than a week. The second option is making a custom kitchen. To do this, you only need to provide the manufacturer with the dimensions and parameters of the apartment where it will be installed. It may be more expensive and take longer, but the result will fully satisfy the customer's personal expectations.
  3. Material. Wood, metal, plastic - another item that depends on the budget and individual wishes, but directly affects the final choice.
  4. Country of origin. Russia and the CIS countries are increasingly becoming the choice of clients, as they inspire more trust and are often lower in cost. But foreign companies (Germany, Italy, etc.) are also known for the quality of their products.

Which kitchens are better: customer reviews

Most customers are not afraid to leave reviews before and after purchasing a kitchen, which helps other customers determine the necessary information.

  • Many customers recommend kitchens made by IKEA, but reviews about them vary greatly. For example, the opinion of this customer is shared by many: “IKEA kitchens have one big disadvantage - the impossibility of making a non-standard size.” Otherwise, this company satisfies most buyers with a large selection and an attractive price.
  • Another popular option among clients is the Maria company, but not everything in it suits the average client. “There were problems with color. We chose one, but made a completely different one that didn’t fit the interior.” However, in general, "Maria" is one of the most common choices for kitchen buyers.
