The classic design of the sofa, called the "book", is familiar from childhood to every resident of our country, even to those who are far from furniture production. It is rightfully considered one of the most simple in operation and convenient, for a long time remaining the most popular of all possible analogues. Recently, however, another mechanism for transforming the sofa, the “Eurobook,” which has many more advantages, has become widespread. Of course, it costs a little more in comparison with the old version, but a long service life, durability and safety more than pay for this minus.

Design advantages

A sofa with a “eurobook” mechanism is the most popular for typical small-sized apartments (Khrushchev or Brezhnevka). The design of the product consists of two parts. This is a retractable (on some models - withdrawable) front block, as well as a lowering rear panel (back). The folding algorithm is simple: you need to raise the seat up to the stop. After that, a click is heard, the front block extends or leaves, and the rear panel automatically takes a horizontal position.

This mechanism for transforming sofas is popular for objective reasons:

1. Reasonable price, affordable to the middle class.
2. A wide range of models with a variety of designs - you can choose a product that suits any interior style.
3. Ease of folding - even a teenager can cope with the task.
4. Reliability of the design - there are no parts that could break.
5. Convenience and comfort of use - Eurobook sofas are quite suitable for daily use as a berth.

When folded, upholstered furniture is a familiar model of a sofa that looks no different from the classic “book” or “accordion”. But in the unfolded position, it instantly turns into a comfortable double bed. You can even install such a compact sofa in the kitchen or in the hallway: the Eurobook mechanism is a real find for small rooms.

For the sofa in the unfolded position, no more free space is required than when it is folded. This model compares favorably with others, because the classic "books" and "accordions" with a lowered back often occupy half rooms.

Reasons for the popularity of the mechanism

Today the sofa-eurobook is found in apartments, hotels and even offices. Such models have not gone out of fashion for several years. They are placed in living rooms, children's rooms, even in bedrooms instead of ordinary beds, because:

1. The model is compact.
2. Elite furniture has special protection of the mechanism from wear, distortions caused by the displacement of the withdrawable unit.
3. The sofa-book of modern interpretation is laid out easily, even a child can cope with the task.
4. All products are equipped with a spacious box for bedding.
5. Cost is acceptable.

Many models are additionally equipped with pillows and protective covers. Most of them have comfortable armrests. Simple, concise forms go well with any style of interior design. In recent years, a more modern modification has been very popular - the mechanism of a walking eurobook (with a seat that does not stretch, but as if steps out of the assembled state).

Sofas produced by leading furniture factories guarantee a perfectly flat bed for sleeping, without pits and knolls. This is of great importance for the formation of good posture, especially for children and adolescents. If necessary, you can additionally lay an orthopedic mattress.

Folding rules

For upholstered furniture of a standard form, a standard sofa folding mechanism is provided. It is not difficult to lay it out, for this it is necessary:

1. Check that the back is in contact with the wall.
2. Make sure that the front and rear units are stationary.
3. Extend the seat as far as it will go: it easily exits along two horizontally oriented guide axles, metal or wooden.
4. If everything is done correctly, the back will automatically lower into free space and, connecting with the seat, forms a berth.

This mechanism is used only in typical products of a direct form. Angular sofas provide a slightly different method of transformation: the sleeping bed moves out if you pull on a secret cord. Such models fit well into narrow rooms.

If the Eurobook with roll-out elements is transformed daily, it is better to put it on a bare floor - otherwise the carpet will curl all the time.

How to check performance

Checking the performance of a product with a walking mechanism is quite simple. To do this, you need to sit in the middle of the sofa and put a glass filled with water on its edge. If the liquid does not splash out, a high-quality filler is used in the production.

When purchasing a product, you should pay close attention to this parameter. The best filler option is latex, which holds its shape for a long time. It is not recommended to choose upholstered furniture filled with foam. This material is inexpensive, but quickly deformed and deteriorates. In addition, during decomposition, it releases dangerous toxins that can trigger the occurrence of allergic reactions. Experts advise to purchase furniture with a filler, which contains a minimum percentage of foam.

The spring unit should be chosen independent: it costs more, but guarantees the absence of squeaking and even distribution of the load. All elements must be packed in felt or batting. To check the stiffness level of the filler, it is enough to force the knee on the seat with force - if it bends to the frame, the furniture will not last long. It is desirable to have a protective layer of synthetic winterizer under the upholstery, then the back will be soft and as comfortable as possible. Seams should be only straight, without sticking out threads and rough knots.

It is quite easy to eliminate possible minor breakdowns that occur during operation.

The mechanism of transformation of sofas "eurobook" should not creak and seize at work.

In order for the furniture to serve for many years, it is necessary to strictly observe the operating instructions and not to exert physical effort during its unfolding.In this case, a typical or corner sofa with a Eurobook mechanism will guarantee a comfortable sleep and rest.
