Chair-beds Ikea

Small apartments, the inability to buy a full bed, frequent visits of guests - all these situations become a reason for purchasing compact and multifunctional furniture. One of the options for such furniture is the Ikea chair-bed, designed taking into account all the requirements and wishes of buyers.

The first and main feature of the folding chair-bed is the unique and organic combination of two functional pieces of furniture. When folded it is a comfortable chair that does not clutter up the space in the room, when unfolded it is a comfortable place for a good sleep... At the same time, every detail is thought out in the models of Ikea chair beds, which makes them indispensable helpers in any home.

The main "pluses" of the chair-bed from Ikea include:

• Consistently high quality... From the first days, the company has been paying special attention to this indicator. And it was thanks to him that the company was able to take a leading position in the world furniture market;
• Reliability of all connections... The well-functioning system works without squeaks and "sinking", regardless of the intensity of use of furniture;
• Safety of materials used in the manufacture of structures... All of them preliminarily undergo a series of laboratory tests, as a result of which a certificate of conformity is issued. Therefore, all materials, from the frame to the covers, comply with the necessary sanitary standards;
• Ergonomics and functionality... Designers and craftsmen made sure that their products become not just a beautiful piece of furniture, but also a comfortable place to rest at night;
• Easy to assemble, allowing you to install furniture yourself... Like any Ikea furniture, folding beds are assembled directly on site. And thanks to the simplicity of the design and clear instructions, everyone can do it;
• Affordable price, affordable even for families with low incomes;
• The ability to complete the models at your own discretion. Taking into account the different tastes of customers and the difference in health, the company's employees took care of the availability of several options for each presented model;
• All models are compact and versatile. This allows them to be installed even in small rooms and to be combined with almost any modern interior.

All materials from which the components of Ikea armchairs are made are environmentally friendly and completely safe for humans. Moreover:

• Model frames are made of hollow steel pipes from the inside... From above, these structures are coated with a special epoxy powder. Steel gives the structure its strength, and the inner cavity provides light weight. Powder coating, in turn, protects the frame from corrosion, extending the life of the product;
• The seat and backrest are based on orthopedic slats made of beech or birch wood. In some models, the lamellas are replaced with strong but resilient plywood;
• To fill the mattresses, the manufacturer uses polyurethane foam, latex or blocks of independent springs... It is noteworthy that for each model several types of mattresses are developed at once, differing in the degree of rigidity. Therefore, choosing a chair-bed, the buyer can choose a mattress for him to his liking.

In addition, depending on the model, the chair beds are equipped with either synthetic rubber legs or polypropylene wheels.

No matter how carefully the furniture is handled, no matter how carefully they are treated, over time, the upholstery becomes dirty, scuffs appear on it. And if there are small children or four-legged pets in the house, the process of pollution can accelerate significantly. And the only chance to save the furniture will be its complete constriction.

To solve this problem, Ikea has proposed a simple and affordable way to protect furniture upholstery from dirt and damage - removable covers.... These covers are made from wear-resistant materials designed for multiple washes. They do not require any additional assembly - they are simply pulled over the chair-bed and fixed with hooks, Velcro or special zippers. At the same time, the color range of removable covers can satisfy even the most demanding customer. Covers differ both in color and texture, which allows not only to protect the chair from dirt and damage, but also to literally transform furniture.

When making covers, the features of the furniture are taken into account, in particular, its ability to transform - the protective coating should not interfere with folding and unfolding the chair-bed. Therefore, the covers are sewn for each piece of furniture individually.

Buying a folding chair-bed, as well as purchasing any furniture, is an important and responsible business. Therefore, the choice of model should be as thoughtful as possible.

In order for the product to please its owners for a long time, when choosing it, it is worth considering:

• the size of the place where it is planned to place folding furniture;
• whether it will be necessary to regularly move the product;
• the degree of hardness of the mattress, to determine which it is worth sitting down, or even better - lying on it before buying;
• combination of color and texture of the chair-bed with the environment.

In addition, an important selection criterion is the transformation mechanism, with the help of which the chair will "turn" into a bed and back.

And how to unfold the Ikea chair-bed, you can directly see in the next video.

All model variety of folding chairs is divided into series. The most popular series are:

• Lycksele - presented by models in a futuristic style... The width of the chairs of this series is 80 cm. When folded, they have a height of 87 cm and a seat depth of 60 cm. When unfolded, it is a bed with a mattress 10 cm high and 188 cm long. The chairs can be folded and unfolded in seconds - just pull out seat on yourself. All models of this series suggest the possibility of additional equipment with a box for clothes or sleeping accessories;
• PS - original models of increased mobility, equipped with safe rollers for movement. Thanks to this device, the chair can be easily rearranged during cleaning or moved from room to room. In addition to their direct function, the rollers also carry a decorative load, being an original design feature. The dimensions of this series are slightly larger than those of the Lycksele. So, the width of the structure and the depth of the seat are 80 cm.The height when folded is 88 cm, and the length of the unfolded bed is 205 cm.

In both series, consumers can choose from three types of mattresses of different hardness:

• Levos is a single layer polyurethane foam product. Refers to mattresses of medium hardness. Provides good support for the body during rest.
• Murbo - hard two-layer mattress... The upper layer is made of flexible polyurethane foam, which precisely follows all the contours of the body, correctly distributing the load and allowing you to take the most comfortable position during a night's rest. The bottom layer, in turn, is made of a denser polyurethane foam, the task of which is to provide optimal support for the upper part of the mattress and the person lying on it, and prolong the life of the product.
• Havet - a two-layer version of medium hardness... The top layer is made of latex and helps maintain a comfortable temperature. Perforating the material allows it to "breathe" - air flows freely through the holes, which help to evaporate excess moisture. At the same time, latex is able to conform to the shape of the body, making sleep more comfortable.

An additional softness to the product is given by a synthetic winterizer laid on top of latex. The bottom layer of the mattress is formed by highly elastic polyurethane, which helps to distribute the load of the sleeper.

For the greatest convenience in the set Each chair bed includes a pillow made of the same material as the mattress. During the day it can be placed under the lower back while sitting in a chair, and at night it can be used for its intended purpose.
