Therefore, it is not worth choosing a child's drawing. The transformation mechanism must be reliable and simple, so that your child can deal with it. In addition, it must be safe.

The width of the berth is from 70 to 90 cm, length - from 180 cm to 2 meters. In this case, the chair can serve the child for a long time, until he grows up. The same size is suitable for an adult. But the coloring here will be appropriate to the other. It should be in harmony with the color of furniture, curtains or the color of the walls. It can accommodate various prints or other original solutions.

Requirements for the chair

In order for the chair to be comfortable to sleep, it must be orthopedic. When buying, pay attention to the fact that in the unfolded form on the sleeper there were no differences in altitude. The stiffness of both parts must also be the same.

Design

Armchairs with the same mechanism can be made in different styles:

• Classical;
• high tech;
• Art Nouveau.

Choose a model that matches the style of the room in which the chair will be placed.

Most folding models have a traditional look. An interesting solution is a roll-out armchair.

Folding mechanisms

The armchair bed for daily use is equipped with a mechanism that allows you to fold and unfold the product. Usually they are the same as in the sofas.

• "Book". Disadvantage - you need to push it away during unfolding. It's hard, and you can scratch the floor.
• "Eurobook" is much easier to decompose, but takes up more space in the folded form. Does not scratch the floor.

What to look for

The chair should be comfortable to use in any position. It is important to pay attention to such details:

• A box for linen.
• Frame.
• Upholstery.
• Filler.

A box for storing bedding makes it easier to clean the bed in the morning, but it is not decisive, since the bed can be removed and in the closet.

Frame

The material from which the frame is made is more important for the qualitative functioning of the chair-bed. Cheap models have a frame from chipboard, the average price category - from fiberboard and plywood. The most reliable and expensive are the options with a frame made of beech, pine, birch. New developments are being applied, in which the frame will be lighter, but stronger. The armchair for children should be made of environmentally friendly materials. Support a place to sleep can a piece of cardboard or lamellas and blocks. It is clear that the latter options are considered more reliable and preferable.

Upholstery

The cover of the chair-bed can be made of cotton, leather (the most expensive), nubuck, flock, jacquard. To protect from stains, fabrics with special impregnation are used. Experts do not advise taking soft armchairs-beds with pile fabric upholstery. They are difficult to look after. As a result of use, stubborn spots appear on them. It is better to choose fabrics that are not prone to rapid wiping, not very bright.

Filler

Softness and comfort of the chair are provided by fillers. In cheap models this foam rubber. But he is short-lived. In elite constructions there can be several layers. For example, the bottom is made of intertwined rubber belts, the middle one is made of latex, the upper one is made of artificial felt.

The filler should not cause an allergy. Sometimes he collects a large amount of dust and various bacteria. When stored in a humid room, mold may be produced. Therefore, often the filler is impregnated with a special substance that prevents the appearance of harmful microorganisms.

Cost

Depending on the quality of materials from which the chair-bed is made, the price of such products is significantly different. The cost of a cheap model is from 14 thousand rubles. You can buy a better bed chair, the price of which reaches 21 000. Everything depends on the wishes and size of your wallet.
