If necessary, it can quickly organize a comfortable bed.

Features, Pros and Cons

When choosing the most suitable type of inflatable furniture, you should pay your attention to an interesting inflatable sofa that easily and quickly transforms into a sleeping place - such a device usually consists of 2-3 sections or blocks that are quickly arranged in a “book” type.

Choosing a quality inflatable sofa with a bed, you get both a comfortable seating position and a comfortable bed.

Among the main advantages of such products are:

  • Compactness. When your guests leave, you can quickly release the air from the inflatable sofa and send it to storage either in the closet or in the storage room, where it will not take up much space.
  • Mobility. You can always take such a sofa with you to the country, to nature, to the hike. In this case, you only need to purchase a good bag for the most convenient transportation of such an inflatable model.
  • Convenient operation. The sofa can be inflated quickly enough - and just as quickly folded for later storage.
  • Ease - you can easily move the sofa to the part of the room where you want to.
  • Hygiene. Thanks to the materials from which such furniture is made, it will not let in moisture, absorb sweat and liquids spilled on it.
  • Quite affordable price. Purchasing an original inflatable sofa will cost you much less than buying an extra bed or a folding bed.

It is necessary to immediately identify and disadvantages of an inflatable sofa, characteristic of inflatable furniture in general:

  • Back problems. If you intend to sleep on such a sofa every day, then you will not avoid such problems in the end.This product, when used, bends under a significant weight of a person who sleeps or sits on it, therefore there is no necessary support for the spine. Some inflatable sofas can be both denser and firmer than other models, but they still cannot be called orthopedic.
  • Fast wear. Usually, the standard and usual beds are used for years, because a good manufacturer makes furniture for sleeping as good as possible. Inflatable furniture models sometimes wear out after a few months.
  • Low strength. If you have animals at home, they can quickly damage a new sofa, and you can no longer use it.

Device, shapes and sizes

If you definitely want to know how an inflatable sofa works, then you will obviously be interested in the information that all inflated sofas today are made of PVC (polyvinyl chloride). By itself, this material is a thin vinyl film with the addition of various types of polymers, which makes this film as strong as possible.

However, it is very sensitive to punctures, so it’s better to keep sharp objects away from inflatable things.

Inside the PVC chamber there is a frame that allows the sofa to hold the necessary shape. In this case, the frame is of two types:

  • from longitudinal ribs that are interconnected;
  • from transverse ribs that are independent of each other (therefore, such frames are more durable and reliable).

Modern furniture factories offer consumers inflatable sofa beds of various sizes, for every taste:

  • single - with a width of 60-90 cm;
  • one and a half - with a width of 100-120 cm;
  • double - with a width of 150-190 cm.

A single inflated sofa is most suitable for a teenage child; for an adult person of standard size, it is still better to choose a more comfortable one-and-a-half sofa model. A large double sofa is suitable for a couple.

If you finally decided to buy such comfortable inflatable furniture for your home, then before going to the store, think about which shape is best to choose:

  • The usual type of inflatable sofas for sitting and sleeping are usually rectangular in shape, but for home decoration they produce oval and semicircular shapes. Round sofa can be of different shapes.It can be designed for two people, and can accommodate more than six at a time.
  • Rectangular sofa, which in diameter can be 180-200 cm, so many buyers today stop their choice on the round version. The rectangular mini sofa is a great bed for a young child.
