Filler
When choosing furniture, not only the appearance, but also the filling is of great importance.
This is especially important when choosing bedroom furniture. The filler has a direct effect on sleep quality
As a rule, the seats of any sofa (regardless of shape and design) are equipped with polyurethane foam filler - or a spring block. When producing low-quality products, some manufacturers may use production waste in the form of filler.
Of the two above options, the spring block wins. Thanks to it, furniture successfully adapts to the individual contours of the body and quickly restores its original shape. Such materials are more durable.
Round sofa bed for sleeping in the interior
It is recommended to use a round sofa bed as a central element of the interior
Distinctive features of the round transforming sofa:
- The minimum diameter of the bed exceeds 200 cm, but when assembled, such a massive structure looks compact.
- Suitable for exclusive design of premises where the emphasis is on functionality and comfort.
- Various types of filling and upholstery are used in production.
- With the help of such a sofa you can arrange a spacious bedroom and studio apartment.
- Manufacturers produce furniture with drawers for storing linen and built-in shelves.
- All structural elements fold out, including the backrest and armrests.
The main disadvantage of a round sofa is its dimensions, so it will not fit into every room. Due to its specific shape, the seat is often designed to accommodate only two or three people. Using a compound mechanism will add some more seating.
It is recommended to purchase a round sofa for the bedroom only if there is free space in the room. Owners of such furniture will have to sew bedding to order and allocate space for storing bedding (if we are talking about a composite sofa without a linen box).
Requirements for placing a round sofa:
- It is worth adhering to the proportions of the room. When unfolded, the sofa becomes twice as large, so it will have to be installed in rooms with excellent lighting and high ceilings.
- It is recommended to get rid of excess furniture. If we are talking about a composite sofa, you will have to remove armchairs and chairs from the room. Their functions will be taken over by the modular elements of the sofa.
- You will have to abandon complex decor. Minimalism in the interior is welcome. Additional details should only be used for Empire or Baroque style.
- The appearance of accompanying furniture (bedside tables, shelves, tables) must correspond to the style of the sofa. You have to select the sets yourself according to size, shape and color.
Color and design options
When choosing a sofa, not only its design and size are important, but also its color and appearance. If the room is made in dark and rich colors, then a white sofa is ideal. Strict classics in black will contrast perfectly with the light surroundings. If you want to put a fresh, bright accent, then you can choose rich red, yellow, blue, or light green colors.
A round sofa is a good solution for a variety of interior styles. It will fit perfectly into:
- High tech. Laconic forms with chrome elements will create the illusion of a journey into the future.
- Minimalism. Everything should be strict, without excesses.
- East style. A sofa with numerous pillows and incense will add a special touch. Round furniture is simply created for Asian motifs in the interior.
- Modern. The original shape is great for creating modern styles.
- Baroque. A chic sofa with gold-decorated legs, armrests and other expressive elements will complement the interior in a pompous, luxurious style.
The round shape and smooth curves evoke calm, security, and comfort.
The elegance of lines and streamlined furniture designs attract attention, thanks to them a special, warm atmosphere is created in the room. Round sofas are ideal for living rooms and bedrooms, promoting relaxation and recuperation.

Creative environment
Apart from the room shape, the choice of sofa is influenced by the character of the owner and the tasks that you solve when arranging the living room.
If your goal is to surprise guests with luxury or to show your solidity and devotion to tradition, you need more classic-style furniture. And if the first task is to create comfort and a relaxed atmosphere, and in addition to everything to show the creativity of your nature, extravagance and ability to follow fashion, then a semicircular sofa is perfect for you.
A radius sofa will give you the style of a creative and emotional person. This is a good choice for a musician, architect, artist, or would be an excellent interior option for a person in the “profession of the future”: programmer, graphic decorator.
How to choose?
Choosing a chair for the kitchen will not be difficult if you use a few simple tips.
- First you need to decide on their number and arrangement. More massive and folding models are usually placed along the wall, in the corner. And light and compact - around the table, so that they do not clutter up the passage too much. It’s good if the bar chairs roll at least partially under the counter.
- The style of furniture and interior design should be common. Otherwise, the chairs risk looking redundant. This applies to the overall shape, as well as the texture and color of the upholstery.
- The dining chair should not be too soft or have an overly arched seat and back. Since such furniture is used frequently and intensively, convenience is assessed first. This indicator can only be verified in practice - in a furniture showroom.
- In order for the chair to retain its original appearance for a long time, it is necessary to evaluate its practicality. It is better to choose synthetic fabric upholstery that is resistant to tearing and abrasion, resistant to pilling and easy to maintain.
- Typically armchairs cost a little more than chairs. However, when comparing comfort and beauty, the benefits become obvious. Properly selected quality materials will guarantee long service life.
Interior use
Experts say that the first round sofa appeared in the 19th century. At that time, he was the personification of luxury and wealth. Nowadays, a soft sofa in the above form is chosen by fans of unusual design ideas, as well as those who want to brighten up a boring, standard interior. Modern manufacturing companies have created a large number of such pieces of furniture - for every taste and budget.
A round sofa will look great in any room of the house: living room, kitchen, bedroom. It can be placed in the hallway or on a wide veranda. In offices, study rooms, as well as in hotels, round and rounded models look stylish and “expensive”. They are chosen by people with a strong personality who prefer unusual and memorable designs. Thanks to the wide variety, choosing the ideal option in color, shape and size is not difficult, and you can also order furniture according to individual parameters.
Pros of choice:
Attractive and unusual appearance that matches a wide range of decor styles.
Comfort. Certain round-shaped sofa models have very conveniently transformable armrests and backrests.
This sofa is very comfortable and pleasant to sleep on. This model will be appreciated by those people who toss and turn in their sleep.
Capacity. When unfolded, the diameter can be more than two meters.
A huge selection of upholstery: from more affordable to luxury options. If you intend to use the sofa as a bed, you do not need to buy a mattress. It comes included.
Accent
This sofa will attract the attention of everyone who comes into your home.
Minuses:
- Dimensions. When compared with conventional rectangular models, it can be noted that a round sofa cannot be placed flush against the wall. Round models take up a lot of space. From a space saving point of view, this is not the best choice.
- To make it as comfortable as possible, you need to buy special bedding, taking into account the shape.
- The price of pieces of furniture of such shapes is much higher than the cost of standard models.
What to look for when choosing a semicircular sofa?
If you have read this paragraph, it means that none of the features of the radius sofa bother you, and you are ready to buy this furniture for your living room. Therefore, we will tell you how to choose it correctly, so as not to regret the purchase later. The selection criteria here are almost the same as when choosing a regular sofa.
- Size. Consider the parameters of the room and the number of people to be seated. If you have a lot of friends and family members, you need to take at least 5-6 seats. But semicircular upholstered furniture of this shape takes up more space than straight or corner furniture: make sure that the room can accommodate everything else you need and still move freely.
- Frame. The main guarantee of the durability of furniture is its base. Be sure to ask the seller what it consists of. A product with a frame made of chipboard or thin low-quality metal will not last long, but one made of plywood, wood or a reliable metal profile will last for many years.
- Filler. If the seat has wrinkled or become hard, the furniture noticeably loses its comfort. The best material for filling seats is PPU (polyurethane foam) with a density of at least 25, foam latex or individual springs. Holofiber and synthetic winterizer can also be used, but only as an addition to these materials.
- Upholstery. This is the “clothing” of furniture, and it is customary to greet people based on their clothes! To keep your furniture looking like new longer, consider the dangers that threaten the upholstery. If you have pets at home, choose smooth fabric without loops, and if you have children, choose upholstery with a pattern on which stains are invisible, or washable leatherette.
- When buying a folding semicircular sofa as a bed for constant sleep, make sure that it is suitable for frequent unfolding.
Now it’s just a matter of small things: determining a place for it in the interior.
Material
Modern manufacturers use a variety of materials to make such furniture to satisfy the wishes of all customers.
In the classic design, sofas have a wooden base with the addition of plywood and chipboard elements. But the most durable and popular options are those with a metal frame. The main advantages are that it can withstand heavy loads and does not deform over time.
The metal frame can be dismountable or fully welded. The collapsible frame allows you to make repairs if one of the parts breaks down and easily replace the faulty part. If the welded frame breaks (which is rare), then it is easy to replace the entire frame. It is for this reason that sofas with collapsible metal frames are more expensive.
Synthetic batting is often used as filler for a round sofa. It can be of different densities and thicknesses. If you are choosing a model for sleeping, then the ideal solution is an option supplemented with an orthopedic mattress.
A good solution would be sofas with combined fillings. They are characterized by increased service life, functionality and practicality, which has a positive effect on the price of the product. For example, the backrest may contain polyurethane foam, and the sleeping place is already represented by an orthopedic mattress. The filling used here is batting, which is characterized by softness.
Manufacturers usually produce the same model in several upholstery options, so when choosing, you can choose the option that perfectly suits your preferences. If you are looking for a sofa for sleeping, then it is better to opt for silk or tapestry, but it is better to refuse a leather product.
Frame and filling
The frame can be made of wood, metal or a combination. Wooden, preferably, should be made from hardwood, well dried and well processed. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to see it when purchasing, it is hidden behind the casing, but you can examine the protruding parts and legs of the model. The metal frame is made of steel, fastened with connecting mechanisms, and is the most durable option.
If you plan that upholstered furniture will be used for sleeping, you need to consider the optimal filling option. It is known that a person spends a large amount of time sleeping. Sleep should be sound, long and deep; a person’s mood and well-being depend on these indicators. A sofa with an orthopedic effect can provide comfort while sleeping. The filling for upholstered furniture can be spring or springless.
For springless filling, polyurethane foam has recently been in demand. It is necessary that it be of good quality; poor material dries quickly and begins to crumble and crumble. In this case, dents and depressions form on the seat or backrest, which are not aesthetically pleasing and cause inconvenience. Spring options come with a dependent and independent spring block.
Design element
Experts from the field of design and decoration of residential premises appreciated round furniture
Its originality, uniqueness and unusual appearance attract the attention of not only professionals, but also ordinary consumers who want to decorate their home.
If the room is decorated in dark and rich colors, then a white sofa will look great in it. The classic black version looks great against a background of light shades. If you want to add a bright accent to the room, opt for a colorful sofa (red, green, purple, blue and other similar options).
Furniture for kitchen
If you want to install a round sofa, it is recommended to give preference to more compact and functional models that are more designed for seating. Experts from the field of residential design recommend choosing an option with a standard straight back, where only part has a rounded shape. Externally, such furniture resembles a hybrid of a small sofa with an easy chair. This is comfortable - and at the same time practical furniture. In stores you can find soft rounded corners, which, as a rule, come with the table.
Bedroom
The main purpose of the bedroom is passive relaxation and quality sleep. The furniture in this room should be as comfortable as possible. A round sofa bed is perfect for this room. It is recommended to place this piece of furniture in the center of the room. As soon as you cross the threshold of the bedroom, your gaze will immediately be drawn to the above-mentioned piece of furniture.
Living room
It is impossible to imagine a living room without upholstered furniture. The main purpose of this room is to receive guests, gather with friends and simply have a pleasant time. By combining a spacious round sofa and a table, you can create a cozy island. A round sofa will become an expressive decoration for the room. It will be a highlight in the interior.
If the size of the room allows, you can place two folded sofas opposite each other and place a small dining table in the middle
In this case, it is recommended to pay attention to the Laguna model. This is a round sofa that can quickly be given a semicircular shape by simply removing the front part
A neat rounded back, on which you can lean your elbows at any time and just relax, will increase the level of comfort.
Varieties
When choosing a round sofa, you should carefully consider all the points: location in the house, the functions that the item will perform (a place to sit or sleep), the number of people who will use the furniture. Designers can offer options for every taste and color with great functionality. Many models have the ability to transform into a sleeping place.
The following designs are popular:
- Monolithic. They have a stationary central part. They look solid and respectable. It is very comfortable to sleep on such furniture due to the absence of joints, which cannot be said about other modifications. True, they take up more space.
- Modular. They consist of separate blocks that slide apart and look like independent interior units. During the day, they can be placed around the room to create additional seating. The presence of shelves, stands in the side parts, table modules, mobile sides makes such designs very convenient and practical. At night everything moves, connects, turning into a bed. But lying on modular sofas is not very comfortable due to the uneven surface, so this design is more suitable for a living room where people do not sleep so often.
- Transformers (folding). They are interesting for their folding mechanisms. Even a small semicircular sofa after transformation can turn into a full-fledged sleeping place. Due to their compact size, the products are often placed in small spaces that combine the functions of a living room and a bedroom. These sofas are equipped with drawers for linen, which saves space. To turn a sofa into a bed, the parts need to be rolled out, folded down or rearranged. In this case, the backrests can be folded out or fixed, the armrests can be transformed, and the sides can be removed.
When choosing a round sofa for the kitchen, it is recommended to focus on compact models with great functionality, designed mainly for sitting. Manufacturers offer excellent options that combine elements of various furniture, with straight backs and partially rounded seats. Semicircular models are well suited for the kitchen.
If you need a round sofa for the living room, then the choice of model often depends on the size of the room. Monolith, modular or transformer - any of these options will give the living room an original, even futuristic look. It is possible to provide sleeping accommodations for guests.
Semicircular models with a small coffee table will create a cozy corner for relaxing with family or friends. Another great solution could be a rounded corner sofa. It fits perfectly in the corner of the room, saving free space.
The bedroom is a corner for relaxation and recuperation. Here the furniture should be as comfortable as possible. A monolithic or folding round sofa bed is perfect for these purposes. Modular structures should not be taken due to the presence of a large number of connections that create an uneven surface.

Design features of semicircular sofas
The design of rounded upholstered furniture differs little in its components from rectangular and corner shapes: it is a frame filled with filler and covered with upholstery. The materials used are the same.
- Frame of a semicircular sofa: wood, plywood, metal profile
- Seat and back filling: padding polyester, holofiber, polyurethane foam, latex, springs
- Upholstery: textiles (linen, cotton, artificial fibers), leatherette (vinyl, eco-leather), genuine leather.

But there is one important difference: the sliding mechanism. Because semicircular banquettes are designed more for seating than sleeping, they can rarely be converted into a bed. But even if the manufacturer provides such a possibility, here you will not find the familiar “book” or “accordion” type transformation systems. What does a semicircular sofa bed look like?
Interior ideas
A round white sofa looks luxurious and beautiful in any interior. It can be combined in design with furniture in light or dark colors. The presence of a backrest gives the model practicality and convenience.
In spacious rooms you can combine two round sofas at once. Models look beautiful in contrast. A sofa in white and black can be placed in the center of the room. This tandem looks beautiful in an ensemble with black furniture.
A round red sofa will become a bright decoration of a restrained interior. The combination of a red body and a brown mattress looks original. A comfortable backrest will allow you to relax and unwind. The color of the mattress matches perfectly with the brown walls. To decorate and visually separate the space under the sofa, you can use an elevation and use a different color scheme for the flooring.

How to choose an immersion blender
Unusual shapes create problems in decorating a room. Ease requires some creativity.
In order for a sofa of an unusual shape to look harmonious against the general background of the room, you can repeat its semicircular shape in the interior: choose the smooth lines of a coffee table, an oval mirror. . If the room has a round or semicircular suspended ceiling, it is an excellent solution to install a semicircular version of upholstered furniture; a rounded floor carpet can complement the picture.
You can arrange a kind of semicircular seating area by placing two sofas in the middle of the room facing each other, placing an oval-shaped coffee or coffee table between them. If it is more convenient, the second sofa can be replaced with two armchairs.

To divide the room into zones, a semicircular option will be convenient. For example, separate the kitchen from the dining room or the living room from the kitchen. In a large room, it is better to place canapés opposite the central part of the interior, a fireplace or a huge TV hanging on the wall, thus creating a kind of relaxation corner.
If you are the happy owner of a curved wall or bay window, the semicircular model is just a godsend for you, the main thing in this case is to choose the right size.
For a room in which there are only sharp corners and straight lines, the semicircular sofa model is not suitable.

But besides its advantages, this furniture also has some disadvantages. The price of round models is higher compared to rectangular sofas. Problems may arise with the selection of bed linen, although many manufacturers of textile accessories are already taking into account the possibilities of round designs.
Decomposition mechanism
When purchasing upholstered furniture, it is not enough to decide on its external characteristics and qualities. If you plan to use it for daily sleep, choosing a transformation mechanism is an important matter. Modern manufacturers use a variety of decomposition systems in their work, some provide for daily use, others are designed for decomposition from time to time
Such options are called guest options. For semicircular folding sofas, a reliable, practical roll-out mechanism is used. The principle of its operation is to stretch out part of the seat, and fill the resulting void with sofa cushions

For semicircular folding sofas, a reliable, practical roll-out mechanism is used. The principle of its operation is to stretch out part of the seat, and fill the resulting void with sofa cushions.
Filler
When choosing furniture, not only the appearance, but also the filling is of great importance.
This is especially important when choosing bedroom furniture. The filler has a direct effect on the quality of sleep. As a rule, the seats of any sofa (regardless of shape and design) are equipped with polyurethane foam filler - or a spring block
When producing low-quality products, some manufacturers may use production waste as a filler.

Of the two above options, the spring block wins. Thanks to it, furniture successfully adapts to the individual contours of the body and quickly restores its original shape. Such materials are more durable.
Where to put it and what to combine it with?
Round sofas are usually purchased for spacious rooms. They can be used in the living room or bedroom. Kitchen options are not in demand because they take up a lot of space.
A round sofa for a spacious room is usually placed in the center. It can be complemented with a coffee table and poufs. To create unusual design solutions, curved poufs are often used with a round sofa.
This option will perfectly decorate an interior with non-standard architectural forms. The sofa can be placed opposite the fireplace, and the free space can be filled with a carpet decorated with an animal print.
For spacious rooms, you can even use several round sofas. This will create coziness and comfort.
For a small room, you can choose a compact option without additional modules and structures. It should be placed near a wall or in a corner. But remember that when unfolded, such a model will be quite bulky for a small room.
A round-shaped sofa is suitable for embodying a variety of interior styles. For example, models in discreet shades look ideal in high-tech style. It can be complemented with a glass table on metal legs.
A sofa, decorated with a variety of decorative elements, should be combined in the interior with wide armchairs and chairs, floor lamps with ornate patterns.
Semicircular sofas - an interior without corners with sharp ends
A semicircular sofa in the living room requires unique solutions from decorators for the living space, but all efforts will definitely be worth it. Similar furniture adds coziness and extraordinary charm to the room: due to the absence of sharp corners and hard lines, it seems more comfortable and invites you to sit down. And the unusual geometry of space set by it will characterize you as a creative person and create a unique atmosphere. They say that there is something dark and alluring about the semicircle shape itself!
In order for the “magic” to manifest itself fully, the main thing is to unmistakably highlight and highlight this object in the interior. Here are a couple of recommendations.
- We still need to add circles. If other lines in the room and furniture are straight, then a radius sofa will seem out of place. It can be complemented with a round mirror, an oval table, a rounded rug, an arched room opening or any other round element.
- Arrange other furniture in the relaxation area in a semi-circle. Even conventionally shaped chairs in a circle will look more harmonious than in a rectangular arrangement. And in the very center of the composition, a table with a tabletop in the shape of a circle is perfect.
- Place the sofa opposite the focal point. The arrangement in which it is located opposite the fireplace or TV (the main object of attention in the living area) is the most harmonious for it. A semicircular sofa for the kitchen is placed next to the dining table.
- Rounded upholstered furniture perfectly occupies corners and niches; fits perfectly into rooms with semicircular wall surfaces, arches, and radial elements of suspended ceilings.
A circular sofa will work effectively in a spacious living room of different shapes - if you arrange the objects correctly and zone the space. It is also ideal office furniture, thanks to which you can create an original design for a relaxation area or a waiting area: semicircular seats accommodate many people, help create an informal atmosphere, and structure the space.
Varieties and mechanisms of transformation
Round sofas are equipped with various transformation mechanisms to be used not only as a place to spend time together, but also as a sleeping place.
- The semicircular model called the “reverse Eurobook” is transformed by pulling out a folding segment from under the seat, while the backrest can be easily tilted back. The central part remains motionless.
- Models with a transforming backrest are equipped with a special metal podium that extends forward, while the backrest tilts back. The seat remains fixed.
- The swivel sofa unfolds using a seat that consists of two semicircles. The backrest remains fixed, and the lower part moves forward.
- A rounded corner sofa is characterized by the presence of a rounded back. This model helps save space in the room. It fits perfectly into a variety of style trends.
- Modular options are in great demand because they allow elements to be rearranged for ease of use. Options without armrests are more suitable for sleeping.
- Soft design products are the embodiment of the most daring and unusual ideas into reality. They can be presented in unusual shapes or bright color combinations. So, a sofa in the shape of a gnawed apple or a tiger rolled into a ball looks impressive.
Mechanisms for transforming circular sofas
A modular semicircular sofa turns into a bed by rearranging the blocks in a new order. A sleeping place is assembled from a seat and poufs, which has an oval or round shape.
There are also models with mechanisms that need to be moved apart and unfolded to sleep. But usually these are unique designs that are not typical for sofas of other shapes. For example, a second semicircle of the seat extends from under the seat and unfolds, “completing” the bed to a circle, and then the seat cushions are placed on the berth.
Not all mechanisms of this type can withstand frequent unfolding. Therefore, when choosing a semicircular sofa with a berth, check with the seller whether the mechanism is reliable and whether this furniture is suitable for daily sleep.

Possible shapes and sizes of radius sofas
Many manufacturers of upholstered furniture divide their products into “semicircular” and “rounded” according to the size of the radius: in semicircular ones the seat is located in an arc of 180° or close to it, and rounded ones are only slightly curved. But most companies call all such pieces of upholstered furniture simply radius.
Dimensions vary by model. For modular sofas, the size is not constant: it depends on the number of modules (blocks) ordered by the buyer. “Bending” also depends on how many parts and what shape the client needs. As a result, furniture is selected according to the size and shape of the room and the needs of the owners. The number of people who can be accommodated on it reaches ten or more.
Solid radius models are made in a fixed size, but it can be very diverse. The supply on the furniture market is now very wide and varied, from small semicircular kitchen sofas to large furniture for offices and living rooms.
Styles
A round sofa is suitable for the following interior styles:
- High tech. The round shape adds some futurism to the overall picture. Laconic models with chrome legs are ideal.
- Minimalism. If you choose a strict, no-frills model, it will fit perfectly into this style.
- East style. Round-shaped furniture, decorated with pillows, fits perfectly into the oriental decor.
- Asia. If you are a fan of Chinese and Japanese designs, a round sofa is a great choice.
- Modern. Thanks to its unusual shape, the sofa will harmoniously fit into a modern interior.
- Baroque. A luxurious sofa with golden legs, armrests and other decorative details will decorate a room in the baroque or classicism style.

Room layout. We place a semicircular sofa in the interior
Due to its unusual shape, a semicircular sofa will definitely attract attention. Play on this! Place it right in the center of the living room or in front of the compositional center (fireplace, TV). However, we must not forget that such an arrangement of upholstered furniture (it is also called “island”) is appropriate only in large living rooms or in studio apartments.
Oval shapes simply fit perfectly into spaces with rounded wall surfaces. If you live in a house or apartment with an unusual layout, consider placing upholstered furniture along a “curved” wall.
Another new way to include a radius sofa in the living room is to place it in a corner or niche. It will harmonize this space and make the room more comfortable.
If your dream living room is a creative space with an unusual layout, then don't be afraid to bring it to life. You will have to deviate from the rules and find your own sources of inspiration, but believe me: the result will definitely be worth the effort!

Manufacturing materials
When purchasing furniture, you want to get a high-quality product for long-term use. The lifespan of a sofa depends 90% on the materials from which it is made
There are three components that you need to pay attention to: frame, upholstery and filling. The service life and appearance of the product depend on the base.
The materials used to make the frames of round sofas are described in the table.
Material Description Metal profile It has a high safety margin, is durable, can be repaired, and has an acceptable cost. True, sofas with a metal frame may seem a little hard. MDF or chipboard The main advantage of such frames is their low price. However, the safety margin and service life are quite limited. These materials use resins that contain formaldehyde, so safety data sheets should be checked. Wood For the manufacture of furniture, solid pine, beech, walnut, oak, and mahogany are used. It is a safe, durable material, but relatively expensive
When choosing a sofa with such a frame, you should focus on the fastening elements.
The first thing that catches your eye when looking at a sofa is the upholstery. It is diverse not only in color, but also in terms of material.
When choosing upholstered furniture, you should pay special attention to the upholstery - the product should fit well into the interior. The place where the sofa will be located plays a decisive role
Manufacturers offer the following types of upholstery materials:
- Genuine Leather. It looks stylish, rich, with a special gloss. Pleasant to the touch. It has a long service life and is expensive.
- Leatherette. Practical, easy-to-care material. There is a wide range of color solutions. Relatively low price, but you need to choose a quality product, otherwise the upholstery may crack over time.
- Textile. The most common materials with good performance characteristics are flock, chenille and jacquard.
The upholstery you choose should not only be attractive, but also practical. Synthetic materials are used to fill the seats of round sofas. Manufacturers offer the following options:
- polyurethane foam (PPU) – safe, resistant to deformation and wear, service life – up to 12 years;
- foam rubber is a budget option, but short-lived;
- synthetic winterizer - soft, resistant to wetness, elastic and elastic material;
- holofiber – environmentally friendly, moisture resistant, maintains shape;

Eurobook sofa, how to choose
There are a great variety of upholstery materials on the modern furniture market, everyone can choose according to their taste and color, but even here it is important to think through and take into account all the little things. Depending on the room for which the upholstered furniture is intended, the upholstery may be different. For a semicircular kitchen sofa, you can use flock fabrics, which, thanks to special impregnation, have a dirt- and water-repellent effect
The fabric looks beautiful, velvety and pleasant to the touch.
A great option would be to use Teflon-impregnated fabrics. A semicircular leather sofa will emphasize the status and position of the owner of the house and will become an original, beautiful bright spot in the room.
For those who do not have the opportunity to purchase a leather version, you can consider a leatherette model, which in appearance is practically no different from leather. Strong, durable, modern technologies allow us to produce a huge range of colors. Leatherette sofas even come in blue, pink, and light green colors. For those wishing to purchase fabric upholstery, tapestry, jacquard, and chenille are recommended.
You need to sit down and feel the softness of the seat. The right choice will please the owner and his family for many years, because some manufacturers guarantee a service life of up to 15 years.
Round sofa bed for sleeping in the interior
It is recommended to use a round sofa bed as a central element of the interior
Distinctive features of the round transforming sofa:
- The minimum diameter of the bed exceeds 200 cm, but when assembled, such a massive structure looks compact.
- Suitable for exclusive design of premises where the emphasis is on functionality and comfort.
- Various types of filling and upholstery are used in production.
- With the help of such a sofa you can arrange a spacious bedroom and studio apartment.
- Manufacturers produce furniture with drawers for storing linen and built-in shelves.
- All structural elements fold out, including the backrest and armrests.
The main disadvantage of a round sofa is its dimensions, so it will not fit into every room. Due to its specific shape, the seat is often designed to accommodate only two or three people. Using a compound mechanism will add some more seating.
It is recommended to purchase a round sofa for the bedroom only if there is free space in the room. Owners of such furniture will have to sew bedding to order and allocate space for storing bedding (if we are talking about a composite sofa without a linen box).
Requirements for placing a round sofa:
- It is worth adhering to the proportions of the room. When unfolded, the sofa becomes twice as large, so it will have to be installed in rooms with excellent lighting and high ceilings.
- It is recommended to get rid of excess furniture. If we are talking about a composite sofa, you will have to remove armchairs and chairs from the room. Their functions will be taken over by the modular elements of the sofa.
- You will have to abandon complex decor. Minimalism in the interior is welcome. Additional details should only be used for Empire or Baroque style.
- The appearance of accompanying furniture (bedside tables, shelves, tables) must correspond to the style of the sofa. You have to select the sets yourself according to size, shape and color.
