Sliding mechanism "tick so" (sofa)

The most common interior items for sleep and rest to this day remain sliding sofas. The success of this upholstered furniture is based on three undoubted advantages: functionality, convenience and compactness. Having all the features of a traditional sofa as a seating area, the product is an excellent substitute for a double bed. For maximum comfort, it only remains to select the right model for you, which will have all the necessary qualities and fit into the overall stylistics of the room. What should I look for when choosing a sofa?

Variety of sofa mechanisms

The most common are the "accordion", "book", "dolphin", "eurobook", "click-clack", rollout models, and also having a tick-to-tak mechanism. A sofa should by definition be comfortable, and therefore, when choosing a particular modification, it is necessary to take into account some individual characteristics.

Undoubtedly, each design has both advantages and some disadvantages. For example, to lay out a sofa at night for a "book", you need additional free space between the wall and furniture. And this is not always convenient, and looks not very attractive.

Characteristics of different models

The model "eurobook" lacks this disadvantage: it can be installed close to the wall, since there is no need to move the furniture every time for unfolding. The disadvantage of this model can be considered quite a rigid back of the sofa (the soft part is in the inside of the case), as well as the unstable position of the front legs on the floor covering, which because of this can be scratched.

Also, different models have their own durability: some are designed for daily use, while others, because of the design features, are not designed for frequent use.

Model of the sofa "pantograph"

Quite popular recently is the tick-to-tak mechanism. The "pantograph" sofa (this is another name for it) is suitable for regular use, while it is reliable and easy to understand. In the unfolded form is an even and comfortable bed. Having the same performance characteristics as the "eurobook" sofa , the tick-to- tak mechanism , however, also has additional advantages, which, perhaps, will help you choose this particular model.

When unfolding, the model rises slightly above the floor, which ensures ease of use and protects the floor covering from scratches. Lifting the bottom of the sofa, you do not need to make any significant effort. The "tick-to-tak" mechanism provides the easiness and simplicity. The sofa, equipped with a special system, can prepare for bed, even a fragile woman. After unfolding the bottom part, you just have to lower the top, and a wide comfortable place for rest is ready!

Convenience and beauty of the model

A sofa bed ("tick-to-tak" mechanism) is especially suitable for people who value comfort, but at the same time protect floor coverings and carpets in their home.

Similar to the method of unfolding, the models are equipped with castors: this undoubtedly facilitates the preparation of a sofa for sleeping, but over time, the rollers always leave traces on the floor. If the sofa is used, for example, only for guests and is not sufficiently laid out, then there will not be much harm to the floor covering, but if you plan to use the sofa regularly, you should abandon such models. In addition, these mechanisms eventually acquire the property of expanding independently, which also causes some inconvenience to the owners.

The "tick-to-tak" mechanism helps to avoid this kind of inconvenience. The sofa simply does not need rollers and any other devices for sliding. Also this model has a rigid fixation, due to which the design has a presentable appearance. But the main advantage is a well-developed tick-to-tak mechanism. The sofa, the customer feedback about which is positive, in addition to the convenient hinge system, has an elegant look. It goes well with such styles as hi-tech, minimalism or modern. And a variety of colors, textures and materials for upholstery will satisfy any, even the most refined taste.

Distinctive features

Having a "tick-to-so" mechanism the sofa has many advantages in comparison with other models:

- Ease of management. Even a teenager can easily cope with the sliding structure.

- Lack of contact with the floor during the transformation process. You do not have to worry about carpet, laminate or parquet.

- The model is equipped with a convenient and capacious box for clothes.
