Ranking of the best armchair beds for 2020

The armchair-bed since its inception and is still a popular element of the interior. If initially his task was to solve the problem of the lack of space in small-sized Soviet apartments, now, thanks to an interesting design and a variety of finishes, it has become not only an element of convenience, but also of style.

How to choose a chair bed

Convertible chairs are distinguished by their convenience, practicality, ergonomics and versatility. They can be used as part of the interior of the living room, study, small bedroom. In order for this piece of furniture to serve for a long time and properly in each of the specific cases, you need to approach its choice as thoroughly as possible.

The main criteria for choosing such a piece of furniture include:

• dimensions.

This criterion includes both the dimensions of the chair and the room itself. It is logical that in a small bedroom of 10 sq. m, volumetric models with wide armrests will be inappropriate. And, conversely, in a spacious living room, a lonely standing small-sized chair will look out of place. When buying such a piece of furniture, you must also consider how it will fit in the room when unfolded. The size of the sleeping place is also important, especially if this piece of furniture is bought for an adult and for daily use.

• transformation mechanism.

Most often the following mechanisms are found: accordion, roll-out, dolphin, clamshell, book, eurobook, etc. Each of them has its own pros and cons. The main thing is that the transformation process is within the power of whoever will use it. We will consider each of them in more detail below.

• frame material.

The frame of the chair-bed can be made of chipboard, wooden beams or metal pipes. The first option has a lower cost, the second - strength, the third - ease of construction. It doesn't matter what the frame is made of, the quality of its components and the correct assembly are more important. When buying, it is worth checking how the furniture is assembled and disassembled, whether there are any extraneous sounds, friction, etc.

• filler.

When choosing a filler, it is worth deciding how often the chair will be used as a berth. If every day, then you should pay attention to fillers with orthopedic properties. The best option in this case would be a combination of a spring block and polyurethane foam (PPU).

• upholstery.

The quality of the upholstery largely determines how long the furniture will retain its aesthetic appearance. Most often, manufacturers use velor, flock, matting, artificial or natural leather. Each of these materials is not only beautiful in its own way, but also easy to clean.In addition, manufacturers often give the buyer the right to choose not only the color, but also the material of the upholstery, which largely helps to make the right choice.

Also, when choosing transforming furniture, you should pay attention to the height of the sleeping surface and the presence of irregularities on it, the presence of a linen box, removable covers.

Consider the most popular models of chair beds with various transformation mechanisms.

The best armchair beds with various transformation mechanisms

"Accordion"

The accordion is one of the most common mechanisms used in the design of chair beds. It is easy to use - you just need to pull on the seat and the rest (the widow's folded back) will decompose by inertia. The sleeping surface is flat with one gap between the seat and the unfolded back. Its height remains at the level of the seat. The disadvantages include the absence of a linen box and the gradual wear of the mechanism.

Draw-out mechanism

The name of the mechanism speaks for itself - the seat base rolls out and additional sections are extended, onto which the seat itself is reclined later.
