Product Benefits and Features
Armchair-bed is a universal piece of furniture that contributes to a good rest, and also when unfolding it can serve as a single place for night or day sleep. The design of the product determines its appearance: it looks like an ordinary chair, inside which a special mechanism is hidden. The seating part is represented by two sectors, one of which goes forward, being fixed due to the support legs. In other variations of the design, the appearance of a chair-bed with an orthopedic mattress may differ: it does not fold out, consists of a whole seat, so a person can arrange a rest without additional manipulations.
Such transformer models are equipped with a mechanism characteristic of folding and sliding furniture. And so that its useful properties are preserved as long as possible, special fillers are used that do not lose the necessary elasticity throughout the entire operational period. Answering positively the question of whether the chair-bed is suitable for daily use, experts specify that it can be used for night sleep with a high quality mattress.
Such furniture becomes an excellent solution for a small apartment, when there is not enough space for a full bed.
The main difference between this model and the traditional chair is the presence of an additional part for the legs. A person can be in it, not only in a sitting position, but also lying down. It is enough to spread a single set of linen - and a comfortable place to relax with a relaxing effect is ready.
The main advantages of this design include:

Classification as folding mechanism
By this criterion, all orthopedic chair-beds are divided into several groups, the design features of each folding mechanism are reflected in the table.
| Mechanism type | Features |
| Accordion | Such a chair-bed is laid out with an accordion: the seat moves forward, the back rests in its place. As a result, a comfortable sleeping space is formed without gaps. |
| Dolphin | The device of such a mechanism implies the appearance of an additional section. First, the seat of the chair-bed with an orthopedic mattress is pushed forward, another part is pushed out from under it, which becomes flush with it - a sleeping place is obtained. |
| Withdrawable mechanism | The user needs to pull out the lower part of the chair using a special handle or fabric loop. After that, a part for sitting is laid out on the received base, and a place for sleeping is formed. This option is not suitable for tall and elderly people, since the distance from the floor does not exceed 30 cm. |
| Cot | It consists of a lamellar frame, which opens when the back and seat are folded into one. The berth seems to be hidden inside such a chair, when lowering the back and sliding it forward, an additional section appears. |
| Eurobook | To decompose such a mechanism, you need to raise the seat, then pull it towards you. Another section for the bed will appear from under it, which will serve as the central compartment. To fully unfold it is necessary to lower the back - it will serve as the headboard. |
| Click clack | Armchairs of this type consist of 4 parts - a seat, a back and two soft armrests. The orthopedic mattress just fits in a similar design. To equip a sleeping place, it is enough to lower the armrests, raise and lower the seat, forming a single flat plane. |
The most thoughtful and convenient mechanism for sleeping is the Accordion system. This option is chosen by most users, since when unfolding, a solid sleeping surface is obtained without gaps.
Materials
The main practical function of furniture is laid on the frame, therefore, increased attention is paid to the materials for the manufacture of this part of the chair. For example, chipboard is used for budget models, while metal frames are a more expensive and practical option, such products ideally withstand heavy weight and are considered durable.
There are models inside which there is a compartment for storing laundry. Such frames are often made of wooden plates: they cannot be called durable, but they perform a practical function.
There are several materials from which the frames are made:
- wooden bars - the base is knocked down from durable rails up to 5 cm thick, therefore it is distinguished by reliability and wear resistance;
- metal tubes - such bases are durable and practical, the elements are coated with a special powder that protects the surface from corrosion;
- combined type - made from two types of raw materials, which makes it reliable and extends the life of the equipment.
Upholstery fabric is used as a chair covering. For example, an orthopedic chair-bed with a box for linen can be made of velor, jacquard, flock, microfiber, as well as matting and boucle. Each of the presented options has an original pattern and distinctive aesthetic and operational characteristics:
- velor looks spectacular, it is durable and elastic, great for furniture, which is characterized by frequent operation, unpretentious care;
- flock - pleasant to the touch and practical, easy to clean, while not losing color intensity, has refractory properties; it is the best choice for families with animals and small children;
- jacquard - the fabric is durable, looks special elegantly, is represented by a rich assortment of colors and patterns, does not fade in the sun;
- microfiber - the upholstery looks solidly, elegantly, it is durable, perfectly breathable, does not succumb to aggressive environments;
- matting - multifunctional fabric with a unique pattern, wear-resistant, protecting the filler from creasing and sagging;
- Boucle has a decorative appearance with dense knots protruding on the surface, the price of this option is low.
If the chair-bed will be constantly used for sleeping, breathable materials such as flock, velor are preferred as upholstery.
Types of orthopedic mattresses
Modern models provide the correct support for the spine and allow you to completely relax the muscles. Products with orthopedic effect adjust to each bend of the body, they take its shape, so a person after sleep feels awake, rested, full of vitality.
Structurally, the base of mattresses with a therapeutic effect can consist of independent or dependent spring blocks. The former are considered more preferable, in such a product each spring is located separately from the other, therefore, the elasticity is maintained for many years. A child seat-bed with an orthopedic mattress is better to choose just such a design - each spring is placed in a separate casing, so the load is perceived pointwise.
Dependent blocks are common in old-style furniture - here the spring frame is a single unit, so if its part sags over time, you will have to completely change the entire structure.
Mattresses also differ in manufacturing materials, most often they are made from:
- Polyurethane foam. The traditional filler of most modern mattresses. Represents highly elastic foam rubber which provides softness of a product.
- Latex. The raw materials are obtained from the juice of the tree of the Brazilian hevea, so that the product becomes soft, elastic and supple. The mattress with accuracy takes the shape of the body of a vacationer, you can fall asleep on it quickly and easily.
- Coconut fiber. They give the product the required rigidity. These are the very fibers that make up the coconut shell and protect the fetus from cracking during a fall from a palm tree. The process of obtaining the material is complicated, so the cost of such products is high.
In order to choose the right mattress for an orthopedic chair-bed, it is recommended to pay attention to its height, fit at the joints and softness. It is important that all these parameters fit perfectly into the design, because the comfort of relaxation depends on this. Care of the mattress consists in removing dust with a vacuum cleaner, periodically washing the cover and storing the product exclusively in a horizontal position.
Selection tips
In order to correctly choose such furniture, it is necessary to take into account the height, weight, age and other parameters of the future user. So, a chair bed with an orthopedic mattress for a child should correspond to the age of the baby. Do not give preference to a model in the form of a car or a carriage if it is planned that the child will use this furniture for a long time. The mattress should be orthopedic and dense. You can not allow the sagging of the spine, it is better to choose a high product so that the child is comfortable on it. When buying a chair-bed with an orthopedic mattress for a baby, you should purchase models with a springless block up to 12 cm high.
Some mattresses are not designed for high loads, which is why they will not be able to provide the proper effect for people with a lot of weight. Therefore, when buying, it will not be superfluous to take into account the features of the complexion of the future user.
Before choosing a chair bed, you should consider all the pros and cons of such a decision. Firstly, such furniture should be in harmony with the environment, and secondly, the chair should be of such a size as not to impede the free movement of the room. Ideal if it will be combined in tone with other textile surfaces.
To save money, you can purchase a prefabricated structure with a separately sold mattress. Such a solution, in addition to financial benefits, will make it possible to independently choose the necessary insert filler, its material and dimensions. In this case, products made to order will fully satisfy the user's requirements.
Particularly noteworthy are models with hard mattresses that are ideal for people with a lot of weight, children and those who have problems with posture. A solid surface holds the body in the correct position.
Such furniture must be strong and stable - any skew can affect the position of the mattress, as a result, the spine will suffer.
A transforming chair with an orthopedic mattress is a good choice for an adult and a child. Folding mechanisms allow you to remove the bed in a matter of minutes, freeing up usable space in the room.
