This material is not much inferior to solid wood, but it is much more pliable in processing. The pricing policy depends on several factors simultaneously, the dominant ones being the type of wood and its thickness.

Main advantages

To get a sofa, bed, armchair and a place to relax or sleep, you should initially choose high-quality and properly manufactured frameless furniture. Here price is not the determining factor.

To begin with, keep in mind that modular frameless sofas are created on the basis of a cover and granulated polystyrene foam. The latter contains about 90% air. The material is safe and lightweight. In high-quality products, the size of polystyrene foam balls is 5-10 mm.

If the product is made according to all the rules, then the modular frameless system will have the following advantages:

several separate modules provide the ability to create several seats or a large sleeping area;
the furniture is extremely light, it can be moved without problems;
repeats the shape of the body of a person who is sitting or lying;
There are almost no restrictions on service life;
if necessary, the outer cover can be sewn up or changed;
if the fabric is practical, the furniture will be easy to maintain;
there is practically nothing to break here;
the modular kit can be assembled at your discretion;
This is a non-standard and original appearance.

I think many of you will agree with these characteristics. If not, then write in the comments. Let's discuss which points you do not support.

Features of a modular frameless sofa

Soft pliable products consist of a cover and filler placed in it. Most often, the inside of the sofa is polystyrene foam. Balls made of this material are resistant to various temperatures and moisture, but with prolonged use they lose their plasticity. In contrast, polypropylene polka dots easily return to their original shape, but can catch fire. Also in demand are foam rubber products, elastic and durable.

Natural materials are often used for filling: beans, sand and pebbles. They are quite hard, so sofas with such filling are not always suitable for children.

The products have removable covers, which are usually made with a fastener, which makes it possible to replace, wash or clean them.

These furniture models include modules that differ from each other in size, shape and functionality. The arrangement of parts is not limited to one configuration. The sets can include a large number of elements (sometimes more than 50) that are combined into a single structure. Sets can consist of an armchair, pouf, table, storage compartment, pillow, etc. You can easily change the layout of the room simply by rearranging the elements.
