Sleeping transforming padded stools

Modern furniture is multifunctional. In the search for new ideas nothing is impossible, even when it comes to such a thing as a poof. If earlier such products were intended exclusively for seating, today they have been improved and have acquired an additional function, allowing you to organize a sleeping place with a small room space. Sleeping transforming padded stools are unique and have their own characteristics.

What it is?

The ottoman outwardly is a neat box of a small square shape, characterized by mobility due to the low weight and the frequent availability of special wheels for ease of movement. In some cases it is a kind of cube, soft on all sides, in others it is a box with a soft seat. The pouf is lower than the usual chair of standard height.He does not have a back, but there may be legs (if the design provides). The main difference is the presence of a sleeping place, as well as a rigid frame in most models.

Transformers ottomans are sturdy structures with a dense seating surface that can be tough or moderately tough. They are more comfortable and aesthetic than the usual folding beds, do not gather dust in the closet, decorate the room and have more functions. However, such models do not imply daily transformation in low-cost options and do not withstand the excessive weight of the user. The operation of such furniture should be careful and correct.

Kinds

Transforming padded stools happen two types: folding and composite. The first ones have a rigid frame made of wood and metal, a spacious inner box in which there is a folding berth. They are equipped with a simple transformation mechanism (resembles a cot),therefore, turning into a single bed in just a few seconds.

Some of them look like a smaller copy of a straight folding sofa without armrests. They are laid out by means of a special comfortable upholstery textile loop.

Composite models are tripled a little differently. Outwardly, they look like a cube with a soft upholstery of all faces (except the bottom). If you need to transform the ottoman in bed, you have to spend more time. To do this, remove all the soft parts, opening the internal components of durable metal (inside there are 5 stands of different sizes). Then place the components of the frame from the base (main box), fix the pillows, forming a bed of 5 modules.

One of the interesting varieties of transformed ottomans is considered metal frame constructionwhich is visible from the outside. In this case, the padded stool consists of three blocks with a lattice base, the upper of which is a seat. The other two are located under it and are closed with steel parts of the transformation mechanism. That the system was not loosened, it is equipped with stable legs.

This folding variety is definitely better than its counterparts.It is more convenient and comfortable for the user. Its mats are thicker, they use elastic and elastic filler, as in springless mattresses. Such transformers ottomans are relevant both in the city apartment and in the country. The only drawback of this variety is the need for a special case that protects the system from mechanical damage, moisture, pollution.

The transformation systems of such models are different. Some resemble a cot, others are arranged differently: the lid is lifted up, two indoor units are placed on the sides, then the seat is lowered. The steel frame supports the central unit, the legs on the edges - two side.

Another unusual design is option from pillow moduleswithout lifting gear. Such a pouf, like a modular mattress, is connected by means of a system of elastic tapes; it is used not only as a bed. It can be a kind of chair and even a comfortable chaise longue. This version is characterized by large dimensions of the bed; it is more spacious and comfortable.

Thickness, stiffness and padding

The design of each model is unique.Some models are designed for daily use, so they imply a medium-hard surface of the modules. In other cases, the surface is hard, but not devoid of comfort. Depending on the model, the thickness of the sleeping blocks is different. The clamshell options are distinguished by a small height of sleeping bed modules and a soft type of stuffing.. Such constructions cannot provide proper support for the spine during sleep. Therefore, at night the body can fall into an unnatural posture, and the rest will not be complete. Not every user can sleep on such poufs.

Models with high latex mats, combined type with coir or HR polyurethane foam are more perfect and, like the springless mattresses themselves, provide the right support for the spine.

However, high-quality stuffing modules dramatically raises the price of the pouf-transformer. If the product will not be used daily, you can buy a variant with a budget packing.

The only thing that is unacceptable is the purchase of a model with a cheap foam filler, which quickly dies, fails, since it does not have elasticity and density.

Color solutions

The choice of color of puffs-transformers is diverse. Manufacturers offer a lot of options in different color and monochrome solutions, so the buyer always has the opportunity to purchase the product to match the existing furniture:

  • The favorites of the collections are classic and neutral tones. (beige, gray, black, brown).
  • These are added sand and burgundy color., which have become very popular today, emphasizing status.
  • Terracotta ranges, orange, blue shades.
  • And also contrasts: white with orange, black with white, blue with white.
  • And any bright color with a printed bed. (floral, floral and geometric themes).

How to choose?

Buying a good ottoman transformer with a berth is a simple matter, but it requires a careful approach. First, it is worth noting the desired functionality, pay attention to the bed area in the unfolded form, take into account the type of packing modules, quality and density of the material, ease of folding, color, scroll through catalogs of proven brands, choosing several options in case the store chooses limited models .

Having decided on the choice, you can go to the store.

It is not recommended to purchase such a product via the Internet, because in this case it is not possible to evaluate the operation of the transformation mechanism, the full size of the sleeping area is not visible, it is impossible to disassemble the quality of the upholstery material, the degree of rigidity of the sleeping modules.

Experts advise when buying to pay attention to several nuances:

  • quality certificate and compliance with international hygiene requirements, as well as guarantees of the seller (the main indicators of the company's reputation and the quality of its goods);
  • the model must be strictly functional without excessive pretentiousness and complexity of transformation;
  • the need to "try" on the convenience and level of comfort (you need to expand the poof in the bed and lie on the bed);
  • the smooth running of the transformation mechanism (the slightest difficulty of the course indicates a marriage and an early breakdown of the unfolding system, it is important to carry out the transformation several times in order to make sure that it is perfect);
  • The "correct" diameter of metal supports (not less than 1.5 cm, the more, the better);
  • optimal size of the pouf in folded forme: miniature and too voluminous options are undesirable (it is worth starting from weight and body build: for full ones - more, for slim ones - universal size);
  • the possibility of replacing the modules of the bed (prolong the operation and eliminate the need to buy a new pouf).

Reviews

Modern man is hard to surprise. However, transformers ottomans, which came to us from the East, appealed to many buyers, although they underwent a number of modifications, having acquired the necessary functionality, ”note the happy owners of such pieces of furniture. Customer opinions are unanimous: transforming padded stools with a bed cope with the tasks set, organize a recreation area perfectly, and during the day are modestly located in the right corner of the room.

Users "with experience", exploiting such furniture for more than six months, noted varying degrees of comfort. It all depends on the model: folding options are more convenient, sleeping on such poufs is comparable to relaxing on a sofa. Those who chose the variant with thin modules of the composite plan note that such constructions are not very convenient, they are almost the same as the stools made in a row.During sleep, every joint is felt on them, and, moreover, there is not enough space on the sides, so full sleep is not obtained.
