Eurobook sofa: transformation mechanism, types of sofas, photo

The transformation of the Eurobook sofa requires practically no effort, and nothing prevents you from placing it close to the wall - no additional space is required for the layout. The simplicity of the mechanism explains the affordable price of such sofas. The design feature is such that the back is quite far from the edge of the seat, and for convenience, the furniture is supplemented with large pillows filled with synthetic fluff. They are placed under the back and get very comfortable seating.

The following can be distinguished advantages of eurobook sofas:

• Smooth sleeping place, without height differences;
• Various fillers for sleeping places, including orthopedic;
• Takes up little space in the room (especially models without armrests);
• Has a spacious linen box;
• A simple folding mechanism, in which there is nothing to break - it will serve for a long time;
• A wide range of models, including corner ones.

Sofa mechanism eurobook

It is rather difficult to talk about the mechanism in this case, since in fact it is absent in most models. It is more correct to talk about construction. The part on which they sit is pulled out "towards itself" along special guides, which can be either metal or wooden (made of hard wood). After that, the back is lowered forward.

The mechanism of the sofa eurobook works as follows:

1. The seat must be pulled "towards you" until it stops. A niche is formed between the back and the seat, while the linen drawer is open, you can use it. In some models, the legs of the sofa have castors that make it easier to unfold. There are also models called "tick-tock": if you pull the seat towards you, it rises slightly, "emerges" up and then gently lowers into place. This mechanism is more complicated, and the cost of the sofa is higher.
2. After the seat is folded forward until it stops, the backrest is lowered into the vacant niche. Above is the part of it that, when folded, faces the wall. In terms of filler, it matches the seat. To better understand how the Eurobook sofa transformation mechanism works, watch the video below.

Let's consider in detail all the pros and cons of such mechanisms.

Mechanism advantages:

• High reliability. Since there are no complex metal structures and moving parts here, there will be no breakdowns, and possible malfunctions are easily eliminated on their own, without the help of specialists.
• Easy to use. To disassemble and assemble the Eurobook sofa, you do not need to make much effort, it is done quickly and easily.
• Affordable price. The simple design does not require large manufacturing costs, therefore, the final price is also low.

Disadvantages of the mechanism:

• Layout. When the Eurobook sofa is laid out, the legs can scratch the parquet or linoleum. The wheels attached to the legs solve the problem, but they are not suitable for carpets, because over time they form a knurled "path", crushing the villi.
• Sleeping place. It consists of two parts, and there is a junction. Although there is no elevation difference, the junction can still be felt and inconvenient.
• Installation. You will have to leave some distance between the sofa and the wall, otherwise it will be difficult to expand it.

Important: In quality sofas, all components have a snug fit. If you can stick a finger between the seat and the armrest, the Eurobook sofa will most likely not last long.

Eurobook sofas with soft fillings

Soft sheet material is placed under the seat upholstery - polyurethane foam, foam rubber, latex, etc. Depending on the price of the filler, consumer qualities and the price of the product change.

• Foam rubber. The cheapest and most short-lived option. Foam rubber quickly loses its properties and breaks down.

• PPU. The main advantage is the low price. Forms a rather hard sleeping place, more suitable for sitting than sleeping.

• Latex. Artificial and natural latex are excellent fillers that provide a comfortable sleep. The main disadvantage is the high price.

Eurobook sofas with spring block

A block of springs is used as a filler, which provides high orthopedic benefits. There are two types:

• Bonnel (dependent springs). A block of springs interconnected by a "snake". The main plus is the relatively affordable price. The downside is fragility. The average service life does not exceed 10 years, and the failure of one spring means that the entire sofa will quickly become unusable: the springs will begin to crawl out and break through the upholstery. In addition, the coiled springs make a noticeable noise if a person sitting or lying on the couch begins to move.

• Independent. The unit, made up of springs packed in separate covers, is a real orthopedic mattress. It provides comfort for a seated person, correct support for the spine in a dream, does not make noise if toss and turn on it. Such a block lasts longer than the "bonnel" - up to 15 years. The only negative is the rather high price of Eurobook sofas with an orthopedic mattress.

Important: Not every mattress on which it is written that it is orthopedic is in fact such. In order not to become a victim of deception, check how the quality corresponds to the declared one. This is very easy to do. Ask for a glass of water, place it at the edge of the couch, and sit in the center. At the same time, the glass should not move, and the liquid from it should not spill out.

Types of Eurobook sofas

By design features, all sofas that can be laid out according to this principle can be divided into several types:

• Without armrests;

• With one armrest;

• With two armrests.

In terms of form, you can also divide into two main types:

• Straight sofas;

• Corner sofas.

The eurobook sofa without armrests is an excellent choice if there is not a lot of space in the room. It will be about half a meter shorter than with armrests with the same berth size. The only inconvenience is that the pillow may fall to the floor during sleep. A compromise option is one armrest. It takes a little more space, but it will be more comfortable to sleep, the pillow will remain in place at night.

Two armrests are more comfortable if you are mainly supposed to sit on the sofa. In addition, armrests are often complemented with MDF panels that act as tables, as well as various designs such as niches, shelves and even a mini-bar. This is quite convenient, but makes the sofa more expensive.

Important: The armrest is a kind of "face" of the manufacturer, its quality can be judged on the quality of the entire sofa. Pay attention to the seam with which parts of the fabric are sewn: if it is even, made with thick threads - the eurobook sofa is made on good equipment, professionally.Uneven stitching with a thin thread, with gaps, "wobbling" means that the sofa was made in artisanal conditions.
