An approximate estimate of the weight of your favorite furniture will help to avoid such situations. There is no universal calculation formula, but looking at the sofa you can navigate with an accuracy of a couple of kilograms. It is enough to pay attention to such parameters:
- sizes
- 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 build quality and decent weight, which ranges from 75-110 kg.
A larger number is typical for triple furniture with upholstery made of 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 of the total mass falls on it.
A book can weigh less due to the use of lighter materials. A pine or chipboard frame, minimal structural reinforcement, and a foam mattress on a fiberboard substrate are not particularly strong, but the weight of such products can even drop below the 75 kg bar.
Angular
Corner sofa is more complex frame and, therefore, a decent weight of 100-160 kg.
As with the book, the better the materials, the more weighty the furniture. The heaviest are the structures with an integrated transformation mechanism. The easiest way is kitchen, unable to convert, options from cheap materials.
Couch
A small, cozy sofa without unnecessary troubles. Ottoman weighs about 40-50 kg. And if the loaders try to convince that this is not true, just turn the sofa on its side and just show its design. Well, 4 legs, 4 bearing and several reinforcing bars cannot be pulled for more. Even in combination with fiberboard, upholstery and foam.
How is the weight of the sofa determined, by what parameters
The heaviest part of any upholstered furniture is the frame. The most common materials for its manufacture:
- Steel structures do not differ in weightlessness, but are recognized as the most reliable. If such a sofa was light, then it is made of aluminum. This is easy to verify.
The array varies in weight depending on the type of tree. Long-lasting oak and beech are the heaviest. Birch is not much easier. Pine weighs the least. - Particleboard and fiberboard by weight occupy a middle position between pine and metal.
In addition to the frame material, it is necessary to pay attention to the design features. The more complex the device of the sofa transformation mechanism, the greater the weight of the furniture pleases the owners.
