There was a matter of relocation. A small, cozy sofa, which the hostess easily moved from place to place, was carried out by two brave guys in the uniform of porters. The transfer was successful, it's time to pay for the work. And here, it turns out that a fragile girl, without much effort, dragged furniture weighing 150 kg. Unbelievable, but if you please, pay the workers according to the “oversized heavyweight” tariff.
How much does a sofa weigh on average
To avoid similar situations a rough estimate of the weight of your favorite furniture will help. Universal Formula there is no calculation, but looking closely at the sofa, you can navigate with an accuracy of a couple of kilograms. It is enough to pay attention to the following parameters:
- dimensions;
- frame material;
- upholstery;
- mattress design.
Based on these features, it is already possible to make a rough estimate.
Book
A classic sofa of this design is distinguished by the capacity of the drawers, high quality assembly and decent weight, which ranges from 75-110 kg.
A larger number is typical for triple furniture upholstered in heavy material, the frame of which is made of solid wood. Modern mattresses are relatively light, but if we are talking about the old "spring", then the lion's share total weight belongs to her.
The book can weigh less due to the use of lighter materials. Pine or chipboard frame, minimal structural reinforcement and foam mattress on a fiberboard substrate, they are not particularly encouraging, but the weight of such products can even fall below the bar of 75 kg.
Angular
The corner sofa is distinguished by the greater complexity of the frame and, therefore, a decent weight of 100-160 kg.
Like with a book than better materials the heavier the furniture. The heaviest are structures with a built-in transformation mechanism. The easiest kitchen, unable to transform, options from cheap materials.
Ottoman
A small, cozy sofa without unnecessary troubles. Ottoman weighs about 40-50 kg. And if the movers try to convince you that this is not true, just turn the sofa on its side and show its design. Well, 4 legs, 4 bearing and several reinforcing bars cannot pull more. Even in combination with fiberboard, upholstery and foam.
How is the weight of the sofa determined, by what parameters
The hardest part of any upholstered furniture is the framework. The most common materials for its manufacture:
- Steel structures are not weightless, but are recognized as the most reliable. If such a sofa turned out to be light, then it is made of aluminum. It is easy to verify this.
The array varies in weight depending on the type of wood. Durable oak and beech are the heaviest. Birch is not much lighter. Pine weighs the least. - Chipboard and fiberboard in terms of weight occupy a middle position between pine and metal.
In addition to the material of the frame, it is necessary to pay attention to the design features. The more complex the arrangement of the sofa transformation mechanism, the more weight the furniture pleases the owners.

The heaviest part of the sofa - frame. And she provides greatest influence on the strength of the product. Therefore, it may seem that the heavier the frame, the stronger the sofa. However, this is not quite true. Strength is determined not only by the weight of the frame, but by the material from which it is made.
Steel frames are the heaviest specific gravity. Total weight a standard sofa on a steel frame with a berth 150 x 200 cm can range from 70 to 110 kg. What does it mean? Heavy, reinforced in places of greatest load steel frame will indeed be very durable. If the sofa metal frame weighs 40-70 kg, this means that the frame is most likely not steel, but combined or even aluminum. And such a frame, of course, will not add any special strength. Moreover, ceteris paribus, a frame made of solid wood of any tree will be preferable in a similar sofa.
Oak and beech the frames are also quite dense and heavy. In luxury models, the weight of a sofa with such a frame can exceed 100 kg. But in the middle class standard sofas with oak and beech frames weigh from 65 to 95 kg. And with a solid foundation and a high-quality transformation mechanism, even the smallest of these weights is enough not to worry about the durability of the product.
Birch only a few percent inferior in density and strength to oak - and just as lighter than it. Standard folding sofa with a birch frame will weigh from 60 to 90 kg. If we take all internal furniture wood materials, then birch can be called their golden mean in terms of price-quality ratio. It is also made from birch best plywood for bases and lamellas of sofas.
Pine- a very common and not the worst version of the frame. Less durable than birch, but more decorative. Sofa beds with pine frames weigh from 50 to 85 kg. Estimated service life - from 10 to 20 years, depending on the model and the thickness of the frame.
It is believed that the heaviest and, moreover, the most fragile sofas are made on a frame of Chipboard. And this opinion would be correct if it were not for the desire of manufacturers to make such cheap furniture still attractive to buyers. You really can’t make it strong, like oak, but it’s quite possible to play with weight due to its maximum reduction at all load-bearing structures- and then such a sofa can weigh 40 kg. Or, on the contrary, you can give the product solidity due to wooden parts- and then the sofa will weigh 60-90 kg. In a word, with a chipboard frame, the weight of the sofa does not indicate either its relative strength or its absence.
In the same way, it is difficult to judge the strength of the sofa by the weight if the frame combined. And pine and birch are combined with chipboard very often, just like steel with aluminum. In such complex cases, attention should be paid to other parts of the product - to the thickness and “birch” of the base, to the additional support under it, to the quality of the armrests and spring blocks, and to the sofa transformation mechanism. Individually, these characteristics do not affect the weight of the sofa much, but in combination they can increase or decrease its strength, relatively speaking, from chipboard to birch or vice versa.
In general, we can say that if you are not going to jump on the couch and lay sumo wrestlers on it, then you need to choose not the most massive and heavy model, but the one you like and most comfortable. After all, probably, it was not in vain that she passed all the required strength tests and you also liked it for a reason!
