Transformation mechanism
Corner models are equipped with different transformation mechanisms, which should also be considered when buying. Each system has its own characteristics, which you need to know about in order to make the right choice. The main mechanisms of transformation:
- Dolphin. It is a simple pull-out mechanism, driven by a strap located on the outside of the seat. The transformation process is carried out in two stages: first, an additional element needs to be pulled out from the bottom, and then it should be installed on the same level as the stationary part. Such a mechanism is intended for daily use. The design provides for a linen box, which can only be in the side. The parameters of upholstered furniture are different, the berth is usually 160 x 200 cm or 115 x 210 cm.

To get a berth, you need to pull the seat forward (towards yourself) for special loops. After that, the back becomes horizontal and a spacious bed forms from 190 to 210 cm long, depending on the design.
- Clamshell French. It is rare when a modern corner sofa for the living room is equipped with this mechanism. The folding procedure is performed in several stages. The whole structure consists of three parts. To create a sleeping place, you need to raise the lower part up and pull it a little towards yourself so that the second part of the lounger is on the supports. Then the last element is lifted and mounted on the legs. Given these difficulties of folding, this mechanism is less common in corner designs for the bedroom.
- Eurobook. A fairly convenient system for creating a berth, due to its simplicity, is suitable for daily use. The seat, equipped with wheels, rolls forward, and the back is installed in the vacant space, acquires a horizontal position. Additional space creates an angular part that remains stationary. The bed parameters in small models are 130 x 190 cm. There is a modification without wheels. The metal frame of the seat is equipped with additional springs, due to which the folding part rises and, having made a small arc, falls down. After which the back is installed. Products with such a device are more expensive.

The main unit of the seat is lifted, then the exit lower part on the wheels extends toward itself all the way, first goes up, then forward, resulting in a bed. The berth is flat, the joints are almost invisible, which makes the recreation area comfortable.

Materials of manufacture
Angular sofa consists of various structural elements. Models differ in the material of manufacture. The most important elements in upholstered furniture are the back and seat. Comfort creates a filler characterized by elasticity. Main types: polyurethane foam (PPU), foam rubber, spring blocks (dependent and independent). The first material is expensive, but it is more durable. Foam rubber is characterized by increased elasticity. It belongs to the budget varieties, as it has a short service life. Independent spring blocks are made exclusively of high quality materials, provide an orthopedic effect. They are an expensive type of filler. Dependent spring blocks provide smooth bends, but with prolonged use can form dips, due to which the body takes an incorrect position.
The frame base is a prefabricated structure. For the manufacture of natural materials are used. The frame usually consists of boards. Racks and jumpers are made of wooden blocks of different sections. In budget models, the facade of the back is often covered with plywood, chipboard. Chipboard is not very durable, as it is not resistant to constant loads.
Upholstery material is offered in a wide assortment: flock, chenille, velveteen, burlap (matting), jacquard, genuine and artificial leather are used. The listed species differ in cost. The most expensive are living room furniture with jacquard and leather upholstery.
