Choosing a mattress for an accordion sofa

Healthy sleep and comfortable rest is an important part of any person's life, therefore it is necessary to be responsible when choosing a mattress for a bed or a sofa. In the conditions of small apartments, it is often not possible to install a full double bed, and you have to use folding accordion sofas. To ensure the most comfortable conditions on such upholstered furniture, it is important to be able to choose the right mattress for it.

One of the most important rooms in any house is the bedroom, but not all apartments can be equipped with a separate room for sleeping and resting. Very often there is a need to sleep and live in the same room, in connection with which you have to use a folding sofa instead of a large and spacious bed. To make your stay on such upholstered furniture as comfortable as possible, it is best to purchase an additional mattress.

If there is an accordion sofa in the house, there are specialized mattresses for it, the features of which are structure and shape. The soft part of the product is located on a metal frame, which makes it strong, reliable and independent of the sofa.

The product purchased for the sofa with the accordion mechanism has the following features:

• the surface is leveled and restored immediately if there is no impact or load on it;
• the ability to completely smooth out the joints and irregularities of the sofa itself;
• the level of hardness of the mattress depends on the load, which makes it possible to increase the life of the product;
• the presence of an orthopedic effect that allows you to fully rest and sleep.

When choosing a mattress for a sofa bed, you need to study all the options, which will allow you to make the right decision and get the desired result. Among the most common types that can be put on a sofa. Several options can be distinguished.

• Spring - mattress, inside which there are metal structures twisted in the form of a spring. Such products are of two modifications: with independent and dependent spring blocks. An independent block is more convenient, as it allows you to evenly distribute the load without affecting adjacent springs when applying force to a specific area of ​​the mattress. The dependent block is cheaper, therefore it is suitable for those who do not have a large budget. Its disadvantage is the deformation of a larger area of ​​the sofa when a certain area is compressed, since the springs are interconnected.

• Orthopedic - the most comfortable type of mattress, allowing the body to take a comfortable position, relax and fully rest. The filling and rigidity of such products can be different, therefore each person can choose the most convenient model for himself.

• Springless - a mattress, inside which there are no metal structures. The filling of such a product can be latex, coir and other modern materials. The advantages include lightness of design, optimal level of softness and rigidity, hygroscopicity and hypoallergenicity. To provide greater softness, foam rubber or its modern analogues can be used.

• Topper - a thin mattress without a frame and springs, used to soften the surface of the sofa and to minimize the height differences of upholstered furniture.

Apart from this, sofa mattresses are divided into two main groups:

• whole;
• folding.

One-piece mattress is a product equal to the dimensions of the bed.This option is suitable if the sofa folds very rarely and there is no need to remove the mattress from the upholstered furniture. The foldable version consists of two parts that follow the curves of the sofa, allowing you to fold both items together. The two-section version is less convenient than the monolithic design, but thanks to the high-quality filling, sleeping on it will also bring a lot of pleasant emotions.

To ensure the most comfortable sleeping conditions, it is important to choose a mattress not only in terms of height, content and price, but also in size. The size of the product must correspond to the sleeping area. For an accordion sofa, it is preferable to select thin mattresses that repeat the configuration of the furniture and allow you to quickly and conveniently fold and unfold the product.

The optimal dimensions are:

• thickness - from 2 to 9 cm, depending on the characteristics of the berth itself;
• mattress length - 160, 190, 200 cm;
• width - 90-100 cm.

If the conditions of the room do not allow the use of large-sized furniture, then you can buy compact models, for example, 140x190, as well as 160x190 cm. For children, you can find a small model with a size of 120x180 or 120x200 cm for long-term use. In addition, there are also mattresses for large 2-section sofas, where the product can have dimensions: 140x200, 160x200 and 180x200 cm.

Depending on the size of the sofa and the number of people who will rest on it, you need to choose a mattress so that its length and width completely follow the contours of the berth. Any discrepancy between these parameters will cause discomfort and significantly reduce the convenience of using an additional mattress on upholstered furniture.

To ensure proper sleep and rest on the accordion sofa mattress, you need to know what to look for when choosing this product.

• The elasticity and density of the filler. It is important to choose the best option for the product. A soft variety will adversely affect the condition of the back, too hard - it will not allow you to fully relax and rest comfortably.
• Ability to keep in shape. For those models that are put away for storage, it is important to be able to return to their original shape in the shortest possible time without losing their properties.
• Product cost. Having an optimal budget, it is worth considering mattresses of the middle and high price category, since in them manufacturers use high-quality materials that significantly extend the life of the products. Low-cost options are created from lower quality raw materials and fail much faster.
