If before people lived in conditions of shortage, today everything is exactly the opposite - you need to choose from the variety of those things that fit into the interior, will be comfortable, practical and in demand.

The chair is a comfortable furniture that can give a respectable look to any room. However, the quadrature of space is not always possible to accommodate such bulky items, especially at the expense of more necessary ones.In this case, the chair-bed of a small size is a great alternative for small rooms.

Modern production of chairs produces products that can meet all the basic requirements of the buyer:

• comfort;
• ease of folding;
• wear resistance of materials.

Of course, not a single chair-bed can compete with a full-fledged spacious bed with an orthopedic mattress, but in cases of saving square meters it can be an indispensable aid in organizing a berth.

5 good reasons to buy a compact chair-bed:

• you have a need for an extra bed;
• need to organize a compact temporary bed for a child;
• you live in a rented apartment and do not want to spend money on a full bed;
• you need to comfortably stay in a country house, on the veranda, attic;
• Sometimes guests or relatives may stay overnight.

Modern chair-beds are distinguished by the simplicity and convenience of transforming a model from a sitting position into a sleeping place. Consider the most popular ones:

• Book. A common option, familiar to all from childhood. At one time, it was practically the only one in the whole market of furniture products for sofas and armchairs. The chair-beds of this model have a simple design, the folding mechanism works when the backrest and seat are folded, as when closing a book. After a characteristic click, both halves are lowered to a horizontal position. The disadvantage is the need to move the chair away from the wall when unfolding, which can damage the flooring.

• Eurobook. Comfortable model, especially popular due to the stability of the structure. The simplicity of the mechanism allows even a child to easily fold and fold the bed. The seat of a chair equipped with castors moves forward, and the back falls on an empty seat.

• Accordion. The most functional model of sleeping chairs. When unfolding it forms a flat surface and has a linen box, which is an indisputable advantage.It consists of three parts and is decomposed by extending the lower part, according to the principle of the bellows of a musical instrument.

• Dolphin. Model with a retractable unit located below. Its name was due to the mechanism that removes the movable block to the surface, forming a flat bed.

• French and American folding beds. Transformation mechanisms are a folding bed hidden inside a chair that unfolds by unrolling its parts. The differences between the French and American types are in the thickness of the clamshell mattress and the folding mechanism. In the American version, the mattress is thicker and the folding of the clamshell parts is double. The French type is more like a conventional camp-type clamshell: thin mattress and triple fold.

When creating a chair-bed uses a variety of materials for interior filling, upholstery and frame products. Consider the main types.

One of the conditions of comfort and durability of the product is the material of the filler of upholstered furniture. In the case of chairs designed for sleeping, this becomes an even more important aspect, since the sleeping place should be as comfortable as possible for a good rest.

The most economical option - foam rubber - it is short-lived, it quickly loses its qualities, therefore among the seat fillers it practically does not occur in its pure form.

From the newest materials can be identified latex and holofiber. They have sufficient elasticity, do not sag, retain the quality and appearance even with frequent use. Modern models, as a rule, contain combined types of fillers. It meets all quality standards and ensures durability.

The choice of upholstery depends on the aesthetic preferences of the buyer.

It may be leatherless expensive eco-leather and all sorts of textiles: cotton or semi-cotton jacquard, delicate velor, velvety flock and many others. Most modern materials involve the impregnation of fabrics with dirt-repellent compounds, but not all coatings can be wiped clean or respond positively to cleaning products.

The base of the chair-bed is an important component of the entire product that requires special attention.

The durability and functionality of the furniture depends on the strength of the material and the folding mechanism.

In the manufacture of folding chairs can be used a variety of materials: from wood to metal.

• The most durable models will be wooden frame. As a rule, coniferous wood is used for such frames. The tree is resistant to stress, which will ensure a long product life.
• Chipboard and plywood in the frame of the chair attractive for its low price for the product, but with daily use and heavy loads they are short-lived.
• Steel frames are durable and great for everyday use.
• Aluminum hollow tubes in the frame provide the lightness of the whole structure, but do not withstand constant loads.
• As a rule, most modern models are based on combined framescombining the maximum benefits of all types of materials.

The folding design of mini-chairs perfectly combines style and spirit with minimalism. If your room in which you plan to place a chair, made in this modern style, then choose the right color model is not difficult. The main thing is to know the sense of proportion and it is advantageous to combine colors.

A small chair-bed in a very small room can become the central decoration of the interior, and then it is preferable to make a more vivid color accent on it. For example, for a small room, light facing of the walls will do, which will make the room more spacious, and a bright small-sized chair will serve as a kind of demarcation for the rest area.
