How to choose a sofa if you are heavy? How much does a leather sofa weigh?

Hello, Stepan!

When purchasing, you need to obtain information about permissible load on the mechanism. These data are indicated in the model description, otherwise check with the seller. Ask which one Weight Limit withstands the sofa you like. In addition, it matters whether the furniture will be used daily or is a guest option. Important Features when choosing a durable sofa, it means a strong frame, stable, non-wobbly legs and a reliable transformation mechanism.

Choosing a mechanism for transforming upholstered furniture

  • Roll-out mechanism considered one of the most reliable and durable. It is designed for numerous transformations and is suitable for everyday use. It is easy to unfold and put away. There is a special belt loop hidden under the seat; by pulling it, you will force the front part to move forward and the back to take its place. Models equipped with this mechanism usually have a spacious and flat sleeping surface. When folded, they take up little space. This sofa can be installed close to the wall.
  • "Tick-tock" is an improved and modernized "Eurobook". The sofa mechanism extends the seat and reclines the backrest. An improvement on the previous mechanism consists of mechanically lifting the seat above the floor as a result of transforming the sofa.
  • “Click-clack” - sofas with this transformation mechanism are distinguished by the absence of cracks and depressions in the sleeping area. In addition, they are more comfortable due to the possibility of choosing positions: “lying”, “half-sitting” or “sitting”.
  • It might be worth considering the option corner sofa- the mechanism of such furniture is little involved, and since this part is one of the most vulnerable, a static sofa is more durable.

Spring blocks and heavy weight

For a person with a lot of weight, it also matters right choice spring blocks. In this case, “Bonnel” is recommended - in these blocks the radius of support of the spring coil is consistently reduced. As a result, the spring is easily compressed at the beginning of the load, and becomes tighter as the load increases. If you weigh more than 110 kg, you should carefully consider this option. Consider the disadvantage of this type of springs - they are interconnected. As a result, when you press on one spring, you also affect the others. Therefore, this type of spring blocks does not adapt well to the shape of the human body. Independent block free from these shortcomings. But it is not suitable if the load on the furniture is above 110 kg.

How soft should your sofa be?

For a sleeping place you need to choose a harder surface. High density polyurethane foam makes the surface of the sleeping place more elastic, which means it can withstand more weight. Compared to the spring design, PPU provides a more rigid surface.

As for durability, both options are encouraging. High-quality polyurethane foam is designed for a long service life. Spring units are also quite durable if they are relatively expensive. Flooring nice sofa must last at least 5 years. Its durability is affected by the quality of materials and operating conditions.

And finally, pay attention to the fittings - a reliable sofa should have metal fasteners, plugs, supports, springs and buttons. Avoid plastic parts.
