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

A rough estimate of the weight of your favorite furniture will help to avoid such situations. There is no universal calculation formula, 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 higher number is typical for three-seater furniture with heavy material upholstery, 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 of the total mass falls on it.

The book can weigh less due to the use of lighter materials. A frame made of pine or chipboard, minimal structural reinforcement and a foam mattress on a fiberboard substrate are not particularly strong, 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.

As with a book, the better the 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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Features of a set of upholstered furniture "Book 1"

• Frames of furniture products are made of plywood 15 mm thick, lumber pieces of softwood lumber (pine).
• The frames of the products are assembled on furniture brackets 38 mm long by the PREBENA company, self-tapping screws (Germany).
• Sofa bed with bedding storage under the seat. It is completed with two decorative removable pillows filled with elastic polyurethane foam and comfort fabric.
• The folding part of the sofa bed is the Finca transformation mechanism. The transformation mechanism consists of two metal frames made of rectangular pipes with lamellas made of curved plywood 8 mm thick, 50 mm wide. The frames are connected using locks of the "book" type on M6 bolts with nuts. Three-position locks are attached to the side walls of the container with M8 bolts and nuts.
• Unfolding the sofa bed into the “bed” position is carried out in the following order: the seat of the sofa bed rises until it clicks, then the backrest is moved to a horizontal position and the seat is placed in a horizontal position on the same level with the backrest. Sleeper 1900x1350 mm.
• Soft elements of the seat and back in the form of removable mattresses made of elastic polyurethane foam with high physical and mechanical properties, 100 mm thick. Covers are made of non-woven fabric No. 100 with zippers.
• The cover of the sofa bed is removable, duplicated with spunbond 200, common for the seat and back, stitched with decorative stitches.
• The cover is fixed at the junction of the back-seat with mattress covers and with the bases of the soft elements of the seat and back (lamellas) on a contact wide Velcro-thorn tape. On the reverse side, the cover is pulled together with elastic wide rubber 15-20 mm.
• The rear wall-curtain made of furniture fabric is sewn to the upper edge of the backrest and attached to the side walls of the box with tapes.
• contact "Velcro-thorn".
• Supports metal chromeplated 90 mm high.

Leisure chair

• Armchair for rest with the folding mechanism of transformation "Finca". The mechanism of transformation is similar to the mechanism of transformation of a sofa bed, differs in the size on length - 600 mm.
• A lounge chair is similar to a sofa bed, only different in size.

pouf

• The basis of a soft element of a seat - rigid from a chipboard 16 mm thick.
• The soft element of the seat is formed from 120 mm thick elastic polyurethane foam and a spunbond layer.

The furniture has passed all the tests, confirming its environmental friendliness, suitability for use and safety. The furniture complies with the requirements of GOST 19917-93 and has a Declaration of Conformity. The manufacturer reserves the right to make design changes that do not impair the quality characteristics and appearance products.

Hello Stepan!

When buying, you need to get information about the permissible load on the mechanism. This data is indicated in the description of the model, otherwise check with the seller. Ask which Weight Limit withstands the sofa you like. In addition, it matters whether the furniture will be used daily or is it a guest option. Important characteristics when choosing a durable sofa are a strong frame, stable, unshaken legs and a reliable transformation mechanism.

The choice of the mechanism for the transformation of upholstered furniture

• The roll-out mechanism is considered one of the most reliable and durable. It is designed for numerous transformations, suitable for everyday use. It's easy to unfold and put away. Under the seat is hidden a special belt loop, pulling on which, you will force the front part to move forward and the back to take its place. Models equipped with this mechanism, as a rule, 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. The improvement of the previous mechanism consists in the mechanical lifting of the seat above the floor as a result of the transformation of the sofa.
• "Click-clack" - sofas with this transformation mechanism are distinguished by the absence of cracks and depressions in the bed. In addition, they are more comfortable due to the choice of positions: "lying", "half-sitting" or "sitting".
• It may be worth considering the option of a 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 large weight, it is important and right choice spring blocks. In this case, "Bonnel" is recommended - in these blocks, the radius of support of the spring coil is successively reduced. As a result, the spring is easily compressed at the beginning of the load, and becomes tighter as the load increases. If your weight is more than 110 kg, you should carefully consider this option. Consider the disadvantage of this type of springs - they are interconnected. As a result, by pressing one spring, you act on others. Therefore, this kind of spring blocks do not adapt very well to the shape of the human body. The independent block is devoid of these shortcomings. But it is not suitable if the load on the furniture is above 110 kg.

How soft should your sofa be?

For bed you need to choose a harder surface. The high density of polyurethane foam makes the surface of the bed more resilient, which means it can withstand more weight. Compared to spring construction, PUF provides a stiffer surface.

As for durability, both options are encouraging. High-quality polyurethane foam is designed for long term operation. Spring packs are also quite durable if they are relatively expensive. Flooring good 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.

Sincerely, Galina.

The filling of the mattress is multi-layered. The first layer is a high-density polyurethane foam that provides moderate rigidity, which is so necessary for orthopedic sleep. Next - two layers of 5 mm. each environmentally friendly, durable wear-resistant material - thermo-pressed felt (thermal felt). Thermofelt is made of natural raw materials, to enhance the effect it is laid in two layers. Thermal felt - a material obtained by sintering synthetic and natural fibers (cotton threads and flaps, wool tow, etc.) - provides surface leveling and serves to ensure the hardness and strength of the mattress. The next layer is 30 mm. polyurethane foam of increased elasticity, which enhances the comfort of the fit, but due to its optimal height is not subject to rapid deformation during operation. This is followed by a layer of polyester fiber that creates shape, adds softness and fluffiness. The sofa mattress is covered with a special cover.
