What does the eurobook mechanism in sofas mean?

A sofa is not just a decoration of a living room, but a multifunctional thing. This is often the most popular pastime in the house, where you can comfortably sit in front of the TV, sit with friends, and equip a place to sleep. Therefore, when buying, relevant wishes are put forward to him - combination with the interior, comfort, reliability, ease of transformation, adequate price. Models with the Eurobook mechanism, which are in great demand among customers, successfully meet these requirements.

What Eurodivans consist of

Sofa eurobook is a more modern and improved version of the classic "books", known since time immemorial. This is a practical folding model, which consists of two parts - the seat and back. The design also has a capacious box for linen. The backrest is usually located far from the edge of the seat, which is inconvenient for children and people of short stature, so for comfort there are sofa cushions in addition.

As a rule, the frame by the sofa is wooden, and various soft materials, spring blocks, including orthopedic ones, forming an ideally even place for sleeping, are used as fillers for a berth.

Many varieties include models with one or two armrests, without them, as well as rectangular or corner structures. Sofas without armrests are the most compact and significantly save space, but for sitting it is more convenient to have armrests, which are often supplemented with niches and shelves.

Like this, the eurobook mechanism in sofas

Many models of this type, in fact, do not have a mechanism; it is more correct to talk about a special design. The mechanism works as follows:

• the part intended for sitting has the function of moving forward on the rollers along metal or wooden rails;
• a sofa back falls into a niche formed after extension.

How to fold out a sofa eurobook

To transform such a model into a territory for sleeping, you need to do the following:

1. Pull the seat out as far as it will go. It is usually equipped with roll rollers, which facilitates the process. This opens up the space in which the box for storing bedding is equipped. In this position, he is open. In some sofas, there is a tick-to-tack mechanism - an improved version of the eurobook, where when the seat is pulled, it is lifted above the floor with a spring device and then gradually lowered. This allows you to maximize the preservation of the floor when unfolding, however, its price is somewhat more expensive.
2. After the seat is fully extended, a backrest can be lowered into the vacant space, the rear side of which will now be on top. The fillers of both parts are identical and form a flat sleeping surface.

The folding process is just as simple. For ease of handling furniture, fabric loops or handles are often provided. In the corner sofas, only the long part of the seat is laid out, and the short one remains unchanged.

Important!

All parts of the sofa should fit snugly together. The presence of gaps indicates a poor-quality product and its fragility.

Pros and cons of the Eurobook mechanism

In this design you can find a number the benefits:

• simplicity and ease of use, accessible even to children;
• reliability and long service life due to the lack of complex elements, which makes it suitable for daily use;

Some models require a space between the sofa and the wall so that the backrest comes in when it is laid out.

How to use a sofa book to last a long time
