Sofas with the Puma mechanism: operating principle, features

Today, upholstered furniture manufacturers offer consumers a wide variety of sofa models. Classic Books and French folding beds never go out of fashion, but new models are the most popular. A striking representative of them is the sofa with the Puma mechanism - furniture that is easy to use and durable. Thanks to its varied design, such a product will harmoniously fit into any type of interior, and the compact model, when unfolded, turns into a spacious place to sleep.

The Puma mechanism in sofas is like

Puma is a modern step-change mechanism that has gained great popularity. The name comes from the similarity of the unfolding process to the movement of this peculiar animal during a jump. The design is simple, but very reliable. This mechanism can withstand loads of up to 200 kg. It is durable, easy to use and suitable for everyday use. If desired, with a simple movement, a compact sofa can be turned into a comfortable double bed.

The Puma sleeper sofa with travel mechanism is ideal for everyday use as a sleeping area.

How does the folding mechanism work?

It is very easy to disassemble this design. This task will require a minimum of time and effort. The design uses a walking principle: during transformation, the front cushion moves forward and the rear cushion automatically rises. The Puma mechanism differs significantly from other mechanisms in its simplicity and wear resistance. It operates quietly and smoothly, and you don't need to use force to activate it.

How to unfold a Puma sofa

The registration process is quite simple and takes no more than 3 seconds. During transformation there is no additional contact with the floor, so you don’t have to worry about expensive parquet or flooring. You can turn such a sofa into a bed by following a few simple steps:

1. Carefully lift and pull the seat towards you.
2. Lower it to the floor.

Ready. Before transformation, do not forget to remove unnecessary elements (things, decorative pillows, toys) from the sofa.

To fold it, you need to perform the sequence of actions performed during construction, but in reverse order.

To improve the characteristics of the bed, we recommend using a topper - a thin mattress without springs that can eliminate all unevenness and make the sleeping area as comfortable as possible.

Sofas with a roll-out mechanism

Without much effort we pull the loop, the front part of the sofa extends, pulls the rest along with it, and the sofa easily unfolds in length - this is the principle of the rolled-out mechanism. Even a child can cope with such a task, which, undoubtedly, is the advantage of such a design. If you use such a sofa carefully and do not pull out the mechanism abruptly, then the furniture will last a very long time.

There are several types of sofas in this segment:

"Eurobook"

This model can rightfully be called the most popular on the market. To unfold the Eurobook sofa, you need to move forward the seat, which is equipped with casters. At the same time, the back of the sofa lowers into the freed space. The resulting sleeping place resembles a classic sofa bed. The design is comfortable, but when assembled, the seating area is very wide; for convenience, it is recommended to place decorative pillows along the back.

When choosing this model, buyers are attracted by both the simple design and the affordable price: depending on the materials used, a Eurobook sofa can be purchased for about 15,000 rubles.

"Pantograph"

This mechanism is also called the “walking Eurobook”. The principle of operation of the mechanism is similar to the previous one, however, in order to unfold the pantograph sofa, you need to slightly raise the seat and push it forward. Lower the back mattress (the back of the sofa) into the space that appears. This complicates the task somewhat, but the advantage is that there is no additional contact with the floor when laying out, since this model does not have rollers that can damage the floor covering.

Pantograph sofas have a modern design. At the same time, the mechanism itself is expensive, which increases the cost of the products. Depending on the model, it is about 30,000 rubles.

"Dolphin"

This is another common mechanism for transforming sofas. To unfold such a sofa, you need to pull the pull-out block located under the seat towards you. Then it should be raised to the same level as the seat, so that the seat and the pull-out part form a berth.

The Dolphin can be confidently called a reliable and durable mechanism. The downside of this model is the lack of a drawer for linen. It usually only comes in corner models. Prices for such sofas range from 20,000–30,000 rubles.

To transform such a sofa, the seat must be smoothly lifted, moving forward, and the second part of the sofa, located under the seat, must be lifted up. In fact, the effort when unfolding is minimal, since the main work is done by the mechanism. When laying out, there is no additional contact with the floor. These sofas are durable and good for daily use. As for the lower drawers for bed linen, only corner models have them.

Prices for such sofas on average start from 35,000 rubles.

"Conrad"

This sofa consists of three sections. When transforming, you need to pull its lower part, after which the sections roll out one after another, standing on supports.

A product with such a mechanism has a drawer for linen, and the sofa itself is reliable, compact and comfortable for sleeping. However, you need to take into account that the weight of the product is quite large. Their prices are approximately 25,000 rubles.

Fold-out sofas

When assembled, these sofas look very elegant and compact. The specifics of the transformation of the mechanism are clear from its name. Let's look at it in more detail.

Mechanism for transforming sofas “Folding bed”

When disassembled, these models resemble a folding bed, since the sleeping place is attached to supports and is not a dense, solid mattress, but a rather thin surface. The berth is formed by three sections; to unfold them, pull the edge of the seat forward. The sections open up and stand on supports.

Sofas with such a mechanism are not suitable for daily use: they are not particularly durable. In addition, the orthopedic characteristics of these mattresses are quite low. There is no drawer for bed linen. However, such sofas can be considered as an option for a guest bed.

• French folding bed. This is a classic example of a fold-out sofa. It moves forward one and a half meters, sometimes a little more. The sleeping place resembles an ordinary folding bed - it is a frame covered with thick fabric, so the sleeping surface cannot be called comfortable and reliable. When assembled, such a sofa takes up little space. But if you use a French folding bed as a sofa for sitting and only occasionally as a sleeping place, then in this case the product will last a long time. However, the mechanism is simple and can be easily repaired if necessary. The average price for French folding beds is approximately 10,000–20,000 rubles.
• American folding bed. In essence, this is the same French folding bed: the sleeping place consists of three sections, which are pulled out one after another and placed on supports. The difference is that the American clamshell mechanism is more durable. The frame is made of more durable materials, so this model is suitable for daily use. In addition, the mattress can be up to 18 centimeters thick and equipped with a spring block. The price for such sofa models is about 25,000–40,000 rubles.
• Italian folding bed. The Italian folding bed, like the folding sofas described above, is a two-fold mechanism. However, the transformation of the mechanism does not occur when the seat is raised, but by moving the back of the sofa forward. The mechanism turns over and stands on supporting legs, which is why this model is sometimes called an inversion. Unlike French and American folding beds, Italian ones have support legs, which allows them to withstand heavy loads. The transformation is quite simple thanks to the springs installed on the sides of the mechanism. The price for such models is approximately 25,000–50,000 rubles.

What is the universal sofa Puma

Puma sofas are versatile because they can be used as both a sofa and a bed. Models with such a mechanism look compact and do not take up much space. In terms of external characteristics, they do not differ from other sofas, but when unfolded they form a more spacious sleeping area. The mechanism received its name due to the similarity of the transformation process with the movement of an elegant animal. Puma couches with a folding mechanism effortlessly turn into a bed, while their backrest remains motionless. The main advantage of the products is that their design is equipped with a soft spring mechanism with synchronizers. The disassembly process takes no more than 3 seconds.

The Puma mechanism has a built-in telescopic synchronizer, which is an important part that evenly distributes the load on the product. The presence of this element in the design prevents other components from deforming and also ensures uninterrupted operation of the transformation mechanism.

Puma sofas are made of metal profiles. Thanks to this, they can withstand significant loads (up to 200 kg) and are excellent for recreation for people with a larger body weight. The furniture frame is assembled from plywood and chipboard, and polyurethane foam is used as filling in the sofas. The pillows of the product are filled with artificial down, which does not harbor ticks and other microorganisms dangerous to human health. Internal springs provide rigidity to the seat. Each Puma sofa undergoes strict quality control. For this reason, they serve consumers for a long time and regularly.

Puma sofas are often placed in the living room, but this category of furniture can also be used in bedrooms and even kitchens, thanks to the versatility of modern models. The widest range of products and their varied colors make it easy to choose the right design for any type of interior. When looking for furniture, you need to pay attention not only to the design, but also to the materials from which it is made.

To choose the right and successful sofa, you should pay attention to the following points:

1. Seat and back upholstery. The comfortable sleep and rest of the future owner depends on this criterion. You should not save money and give preference to cheap materials, otherwise your back will get tired and go numb. Elastic polyurethane is considered the optimal filling for sofa cushions with Puma mechanism. This is what most conscientious furniture manufacturers use. Polyurethane is also characterized by an excellent price/quality ratio.
2. Upholstery material. Leather models look more stylish. However, they are much more expensive than options with fabric lining. It is also not recommended to buy a leather sofa, because it does not always fit harmoniously into the interior. When choosing a suitable product, you must take into account the color scheme of the room and the shades of the upholstery of other furniture installed in it.
3. Frame material. The most reliable furniture will be plywood, chipboard, fiberboard. Any of the presented options can serve its owner for a long time.

Standard models of sofas with a folding mechanism Puma are suitable for installation in the bedroom, as they take up little space. Corner options will look better in the living room, as they visually seem more bulky. Direct type products are also suitable for children's rooms, as they will save precious meters so that the child has a place to play.

Puma sofas are also chosen for children because they have high performance characteristics. Parents can be calm about the condition of the furniture, even if the child is playing and jumping on it. The Puma corner sofa will look great in the living room. More people can sit on it comfortably and it looks more presentable than straight frames.

Rules for choosing a sofa with Puma mechanism

What else do we pay attention to when choosing a sofa? Especially if we choose it for daily use?

• On the strength of the frame. It directly depends on the material from which it is made. A wooden frame is considered the most reliable and versatile. It can also be made of chipboard and plywood. Nowadays there are also metal frames. Such sofas are most appropriate in a high-tech style interior. In this case, be sure to check how the frame parts are fastened together. It is better if they are connected to each other with bolts rather than screws. In a metal frame, check the welds.
• On the filler - our comfort depends on this. It is better not to skimp on this indicator, because your rest and sleep depend on the filler. Elastic polyurethane is often used in sofas with a Puma mechanism, and this is the best option in terms of price-quality ratio. If the filler is a spring block, this guarantees a long service life.
• On the upholstery material. How the sofa will fit into the interior is upholstery. A leather sofa is elegance, aristocracy and high status. But it is expensive and does not always fit harmoniously into the interior. The color range of leather sofas is also limited. Upholstered furniture with fabric upholstery looks no worse.

Types of upholstery materials

Puma folding sofa: the furniture is quite expensive. For its decoration, not only practical materials are used, but also beautiful and spectacular ones.

• Leather – natural or artificial. The first option is incredibly durable, resistant to moisture and temperature. Another amazing feature: leather upholstery does not look worse over time, but gives the furniture a touch of luxurious antiquity. Synthetic material is not as durable and does not crack easily. But it is easy to clean, resistant to abrasion, and is not afraid of markers, spilled coffee and beer.
• Velor is a very impressive, soft and beautiful material with long pile. It needs careful care and careful use. For a child's room, it is better to choose another option.
• Phlox is an artificial non-woven analogue of velvet. Much more resistant to abrasion, just as fluffy and soft.
• The rug is a natural fabric with a characteristic embossing. Recommended for eco styles or ethnic styles. Although the material looks rough, it is actually soft and warm.
• Faux suede: Unlike real suede, it is not afraid of moisture, although it is not as durable. Suede is scratch-resistant and makes you less afraid of cat claws.
• Jacquard is a dense, triple-weave fabric that is strong and durable. It is not afraid of claws, does not fade in the sun and is quite easy to clean.

The upholstery is selected in accordance with operating conditions. For example, if there are animals in the house, leather upholstery will quickly become unusable.

Room selection

• For children. This sofa is ideal for a children's room. It is compact, and this is especially important, because there should be as much free space in the nursery as possible. In addition, Pumas are very reliable and safe, so a child can jump and play in it without any reason to worry.
• Living room. The sofa in the living room should be able to accommodate as many people as possible. And the corner piece does this perfectly – it can easily accommodate a large company. At night, you can easily disassemble it and organize your guests for the evening.

Pros and cons of the Puma stepper mechanism in sofas

Among the main advantages, buyers note:

Puma steps have conquered the market due to their strength, functionality and durability. Today, such furniture is used in a variety of rooms, from country houses to apartments in small towns.

Mechanism reliability

Taking into account the fact that the structures themselves can withstand up to 200 kg, we can conclude that such models are made of durable parts.

The reliability of such sofas is due to the manufacture of the frame from wood, plywood and chipboard. Internal springs give the seat a 15-year service life.

The backrest has removable elastic cushions made of propylene urethane. Filling furniture with artificial down is the best option, as it is ideal for allergy sufferers. This material does not cause allergies and does not accumulate mites.

Buying furniture is a responsible process, because such a purchase should serve one person for more than one year. In addition to appearance, an important feature is the possibility of transformation. It is he who is responsible for the functionality and volume of occupied space in the room.

Furniture with the Puma mechanism will be an excellent and useful addition to any interior. Modern design and affordable prices elevate these models to leading positions.

Comparison of products from different manufacturers

Corner and straight sofas equipped with the Puma transformation mechanism have various modifications that differ depending on the manufacturer. Each of them has distinctive properties, features, and is also given an individual name. The most common are:

• Maestro. Furniture with modern design and originality. The covers on the armrests and pillows are filled with holofiber and are removable. The sleeping area is medium hard, quite spacious, with a high-quality latex foam mattress. The frame is made of solid coniferous wood.
• Sorento. An incredibly stylish and practical piece of furniture. The seat has medium hardness and provides comfortable rest. The sleeping area obtained after folding out the sofa is wide and level. A distinctive feature is the presence of small pads on the armrests, allowing you to place a cup or put down a phone, while the rest of them are soft.
• Omega. A sophisticated, stylish sofa bed that can decorate any room. The sleeping surface is of medium hardness, spacious, flat, and the hard armrests allow you to put anything on them. A distinctive feature is that the headrests, covered with removable pillows, have an adjustable angle, which will make your rest even more comfortable, allowing you to take any comfortable position.

Furniture equipped with this mechanism is recommended for purchase both in a large spacious house and a small apartment, as it allows you to install it against the wall, saving precious space. Various design solutions make the sofas completely different from each other, as evidenced by the numerous photos posted in store catalogs, which makes it possible to choose the perfect one for a specific style and interior.

How does the Puma mechanism differ from others?

The Puma design is distinguished by a special folding principle. The front of the sofa rises and slides forward, stopping on the stops. The second half is in free space.

One person only needs to release the backrest from the cushions and stretch the seat. The rest is done by the Puma mechanism.”

Types of sofas with Puma transformation:

• corner;
• straight lines.

The advantage of corner models is the presence of a side section for sleeping places. Main differences from other models:

Operating principle, positive and negative aspects

The design appeared relatively recently, but has already gained popularity, as it is simple and reliable. Furniture equipped with it does not require any effort to unfold; moreover, it only takes a few seconds, after which the compact modular sofa turns into a bed of impressive size. The transformation process looks like this:

1. The pillows are removable.
2. The upper seat smoothly pulls towards itself, and the lower one rises.
3. The extended seat is placed on the ground, resting on a special retractable stand or legs.
4. The hidden lower part of the sofa rises to the level of the extended seat, creating a soft and comfortable sleeping area.

The transformation mechanism used in Puma sofas ensures quick and easy unfolding, which is considered one of the sure signs of quality interior items. After all, the easier it is to transform them, the more reliable the mechanism is used in manufacturing and the less likely it is to break. The structure is made of steel sheets and also has an independent spring system, which significantly reduces the possibility of wear and tear due to regular and frequent unfolding.

The advantages for which the design is valued are:

• The floor covering is not damaged, since there are no rollers, so you can put any covering, even the most delicate, such as a high-pile carpet next to the sofa.
• Great place to sleep. After unfolding, a flat, durable and incredibly comfortable sleeping place is formed, allowing you to use the furniture every day.
• The use of special counterweights and steel spring construction give the sofas durability.
• The ability to confidently withstand significant loads, since the pressure is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the mattress.
• Ease of transformation, carried out quickly and effortlessly, literally in one action.
• Compactness The folding principle ensures rational use of furniture in the interior space, so it will fit perfectly into the most compact room.
• Long service life. A high-quality and at the same time simple mechanism can last for many years, while the mattress will not lose its properties, shape or sag.

Its negative side is the lack of drawers for bedding, since the entire space under the seat is occupied by the second component of the berth, so installing a drawer for clothes is simply impossible. But this does not apply to corner sofas with a Puma mechanism, which are equipped with an additional section on the side element.

Transformation scheme

Folding algorithm

Sofas with the Puma mechanism are popular among buyers due to their ease of use. The model unfolds in a matter of seconds. Sofa transformation mechanism:

1. The cushions are removed from the seat.
2. The handle located on the side of the seat is pulled towards you. At the same time, the lower block moves forward, as if taking a step forward. In order to get a full-fledged sleeping place, it is enough to lower the backrest to a horizontal position
3. The extended part is installed on legs or a special retractable support.

The hidden platform extends to the same level as the seat, creating a flat sleeping area. The structure is made of steel sheets and equipped with an independent spring system. This significantly reduces the possibility of wear and tear on the product during regular use. Folding the sofa is as simple as disassembling it: the backrest is moved to a vertical position, and the seat block is moved towards it using a sewn-in loop. Finally, the built-in mechanism lowers both platforms into place.

Customer Reviews

The desire to buy a sofa that will serve faithfully for several years is understandable, so many people study countless reviews before purchasing, trying to find the most suitable option. Most reviews about the Puma mechanism are positive, which is natural, given its features. Negative impressions, of which there are very few, are caused by the same missing clothes drawer, which creates inconvenience for owners of small apartments who care about every free centimeter of space. Examples of reviews:

Vladimir (Moscow): “The sofa with the cougar mechanism is so cute! There are no scratches left on the parquet and it can be folded with one finger, which even a child can do. We use it as a place to sleep every day, we are very pleased with the performance and comfort"

Increased wear resistance A simple mechanism can last a long time. The mattress of the product will not change shape and will not sag due to the use of high-quality materials in the production of furniture. A negative feature of the products is the lack of a drawer for bedding due to the fact that the space below is occupied by the second component of the bed. This drawback does not apply to Puma corner sofas, which have an additional section on the side. Another design drawback is the low location of the exit niche. For this reason, before unfolding the mechanism, you will need to remove all unnecessary items (slippers, newspapers, toys) from the floor.

Dimensions

Today's Puma sofas can be purchased not only in furniture stores, but also in online stores. Also, the size of the furniture depends only on your choice and the availability of living space. Each type of model has its own dimensions. For example, if you are planning to choose a corner model for yourself, then its length and width are based on standard sizes - from 140 to 200 cm per 1 bed.

If 2 people will sleep on such a sofa, take into account the fact that both straight parts must meet the required dimensions.

Experts recommend paying attention to the depth of the model. Optimal - at least 70 cm. Usually in standard products the depth varies from 50 to 60 cm, but this may not be enough for a full and comfortable sleep. As for non-standard furniture sizes, they can be ordered individually. This may be the case if your room is spacious and requires impressive furniture.

Such products are necessary if the height of their owners is higher than usual. For this purpose, a sofa of the “Puma-lux” type is provided, the length of the berth is 2200 mm.

Remember that furniture of non-standard sizes when transported to a room simply will not be able to fit through the door if the sofa cannot be disassembled.

What shapes and sizes are there?

The dimensions of the sofa depend on the number of users. The main factor is the unfolded size. Models are available with a width of 180, 200, 210 cm. When folded, the depth of the models is 80, 90 and 100 cm. If the sofa is made to order, the standard dimensions can be changed.

There are many variations of puma sofas, since such a layout mechanism does not limit the configuration.

• Straight - standard with a length of about 2 m.
• Corner – a corner module is adjacent to the straight section. It is often supplemented with 1 more straight section, usually not folding. This sofa is larger and forms its own furniture group when zoning.
• Sofa with ottoman - instead of a corner unit there is a straight section. If it is stationary, then the unfolded bed takes on gigantic dimensions. The sliding ottoman can be installed in the same way, or it can be placed at an angle.
• Multi-sectional - includes the main folding part and several additional ones - a stationary and folding ottoman, a corner module.

A corner sofa or with an ottoman is more comfortable. Since the main design does not include a linen box, but the additional section allows this.

Type of mechanism of sofas “Puma”: characteristic features

This type of product is most often found in modern interiors of living rooms or bedrooms, since when folded they do not take up much space, but look unusual and elegant. The main advantage is the reliability of the opening mechanism, which, due to its characteristics, does not damage the floor covering. This is due to the fact that instead of a base with wheels, a canopy structure is used, which creates an ideal place to sleep. The extension is simple, but the size of the sofa increases significantly.

The disadvantage is the rather complex mechanism for transforming the sofa, which must be used carefully, since it consists of a large number of individual elements. To unfold the sofa, you need to raise the seat position and remove the separate pull-out part located under it

Diagram of the transformation mechanism of a sofa type “Puma”

You need to pull the retractable part until it stops, after which the seat slides out of the retractable part. For this purpose, loops are used along the edges of the product. The loops should be pulled first up and then in the opposite direction until the special stops work. At the last stage, the main block intended for sitting is put into place.

When folded, this version of the sofa takes up minimal space, unlike other types of folding sofas. “Puma” can be located either along the wall or in a corner space, but in front of the product it is necessary to leave a significant space, which will be occupied by an already unfolded sofa.

The main disadvantage can be considered the lack of a linen drawer, which is often used only in corner models. The second disadvantage is the fairly high cost of the finished product.

Storage systems and additional equipment

The simplest version of the puma sofa does not include any additional equipment. Only if there are other sections or a special armrest does storage space appear.

Most often this is a linen box in an ottoman or in a corner unit. Its dimensions depend on the dimensions of this part of the sofa. The wide armrest can also accommodate a storage niche. Its volume is smaller, but suitable for bed linen or small pillows.

An interesting addition to the sofa is a folding coffee table. When folded, it hides under the armrest. If necessary, it is pulled out and unfolded.

Modern sofas are also equipped with more unusual devices: a charging point for a mobile phone, a safe, and a glass and cup warmer.

Features of corner models

Puma corner sofas are ideal for large spaces. This model is usually placed in living rooms or offices, as it can accommodate a large number of people at the same time. If necessary, the structure can be transformed into a spacious sleeping area. The average service life of furniture in this series is 15 years.

The mechanism of Puma corner sofas is the same as that of conventional models and does not require much effort to operate. Typically, the right side remains stationary during product transformation. A distinctive feature of this series of furniture is the presence of linen drawers located on the ottomans.

Many people are looking for a Pantograph corner sofa in online stores. The series in question is an improved version of the Eurobook, which transforms in the same way as the Puma. Otherwise, such a mechanism is called “walking”.

The Puma sofa is considered a universal type of furniture. The mechanism of the products is simple, but ideal for everyday use. When choosing furniture, it is important to pay attention to its external and technical characteristics. A correctly selected sofa will not only fit well into the interior, but will also save precious meters of room.

Design

In addition to the basic requirements for sofas with a Puma transformation mechanism, such as reliability and comfort, you should pay attention to the fact that they fit into the interior design, complement it and cause admiration. The modern furniture market offers many options for solving the problem of interior design. First of all, this is the type of construction.

As already mentioned, corner models often become “lifesavers” in any room. Straight Puma models can become the highlight of the interior. The main thing is that the large product does not clutter the room.

When choosing furniture, try not to “cross out” the overall style. Puma sofas will fit perfectly into any interior you choose.

Classical

An elegant and elegant room design requires the same choice of furniture. The sofa should be simple, with wooden elements. It would be logical to choose a product made from genuine leather or a good imitation of it. Gold inserts are allowed. The back can be rounded or curved. Colors: restrained, from white to burgundy, you can choose neutrals: sand or beige.

Provence style

In this style, wooden furniture elements with high backs look great, the armrests can be elegant, and the color is not flashy.

A large number of pillows are appreciated, which will help you get comfortable and create an atmosphere of comfort and lightness.

Laconic high-tech

It requires simple and uncomplicated forms, this is the beauty of sofas with Cougar mechanism. Metal elements (frame or armrests) are appropriate here, the color of the sofa is bright, and the upholstery is made of rough fabric.

Experts recommend paying attention to modular models with a puma folding mechanism. Such sofas can be laid out “in parts”, saving space. They are suitable for those owners who often change the decoration of the room.

To preserve the original appearance of the product, you can come up with original covers. This will protect the upholstery from stains and children's pranks.

Stages of transformation and operating principle of the “Puma” mechanism

The layout of the sofa with the Puma mechanism is simple. If the model has pillows at the back, they must first be removed. If pillows are not provided, then you simply need to pull the lower base (seat) towards you, and the second part of the berth will appear from under it.

Everything is simpler than it might seem at first glance. You need to lift the seat of the sofa and at the same time move it forward (towards you), and the base located underneath it will automatically rise up, thus taking the place of the moved seat.

In fact, the effort in this process on the part of a person is minimal; the main “work” during all this is performed by the mechanism itself. During the transformation process, there is no additional contact with the floor covering, which ensures its integrity and does not damage the floor surface.

⠀

Buyers note that models with such a mechanism are good for daily use, and if used correctly, they will last quite a long time.

⠀

Obvious advantages of such models:

• sofas with the Puma are simple and easy to use;
• suitable for daily use;
• This sofa unfolds quite simply, without much effort. The process can be done by both a child and an elderly person;
• they have a comfortable, level and at the same time spacious sleeping area;
• during folding/unfolding, the legs do not damage the floor covering, since contact with the surface is minimal, and there is no need to move the sofa when transforming it, because there is no need to free up space behind the back;
• Perfect for people with a body size of 90+ kg , because... the load is distributed evenly;
• universal appearance - the sofa is suitable for both the living room and the kitchen or children's room;
• The design is wear-resistant and can withstand heavy loads, which ensures a long service life.

Puma sofas, in addition to their design and functional characteristics, impress with their versatility.
They are presented in several variations, have many colors and easily fit into any interior. There are both compact and laconic straight models, as well as elegant corner and universal modular options.

⠀

The only downside, in our opinion, is:

• lack of a drawer for storing linen in straight models, because they have difficulty placing it. As a result, this is not always convenient if there is a need to organize storage areas for bedding. The design feature of the corner sofa allows you to place a drawer for sleeping equipment.
