The berth consists of a back and a seat. The spring-loaded transformation mechanism connects the parts of the future berth. The classic “book” is easy to lay out: the seat needs to be lifted up, pressed to the back until it clicks and pulled forward. The seat will move, and the back will take its place.
IMPORTANT! When lifting the seat opens a spacious box for storing bedding.
It’s easy to use but the “book” is not without drawbacks:
- Furniture can not be placed close to the wall. Between the sofa and the wall should be provided free space for maneuvering layout. Otherwise, it will be impossible to decompose.
- To decompose the furniture you need to make an effort. It will not be easy for a fragile girl or child to decompose such a mechanism.
- The design feature does not allow developing an angular version on its basis. All models are a direct sofa.
Despite the shortcomings, the “book” remains a favorite model. The "book", known to everyone since childhood, is still popular today. In the manufacture of the frame, wooden beams and plywood are also used, the weight of the sofa reaches 78 kg. The contents of the berth may consist of a spring block, a polyurethane material or a spring block, supplemented with a top layer of polyurethane.

When it is far away, the sofa becomes uncomfortable for sitting. Double models are equipped with decorative pillows, it is beautiful and necessary for ergonomics.

- The large box is located under the seat, in order to reach it, you no longer need to lift the heavy seat. It opens after rolling the seat forward, thanks to the rollers, this is very easy to do.
The direct eurobook does not differ in size from its predecessor. When equipped with an ottoman, the size of the berth increases significantly: the width remains the same, and the length increases to 220 cm or more. This configuration can be recommended to customers with growth above average.
To transform, you only need to pull the seat forward. With a roller base, it will easily give in and go forward. In its place will open a large box for bedding. To form a berth, the box is closed with a back. The back and seat make up a berth, devoid of height difference and clearance.
