The dolphin mechanism
The most common and easy to use mechanism. A sofa equipped with this mechanism is suitable for accommodation in a guest room, thus creating additional sleeping places for guests.
"Dolphin" is often built into the mechanisms of transformation for corner sofas. To bring the mechanism into action, pull the strap, which will push out the hidden part of the sofa, and the special mechanism will compare the two halves of the sofa.
Sofas "dolphin" will be a successful purchase, because they are not expensive, are able to withstand considerable weight, are easy to use, which is important for daily use, and a large bed with a spacious linen drawer makes this sofa very functional.
When buying, you need to pay attention to the quality of wood, because if it is of poor quality, then the mechanism will quickly come to malfunction.
Accordion mechanism
These sofas are used when it is important to save space in the room. The mechanism consists of metal structures with lamellas, which provide an orthopedic effect. Such sofas are suitable for both living room and bedroom. Transformation of the sofa is simple: pull up the raised front bench strap until it stops.
The advantage of such mechanisms can be called the insignificant use of the space in the assembled form, even the child, a spacious and level place for sleeping and a roomy box for laundry will cope with the disassembly mechanism. A negative point is to call only the need for sufficient space to lay out the sofa.
The mechanism of "click-clack"
Modern interpretation of the mechanism of transformation of the sofa of the book, only the back of the sofa is equipped with the function "relax". Imported manufacturers of sofa furniture equip it with moving attachments, which does not require the permanent removal of the sofa from the wall.
Transformation is possible in three positions: a bed, a "relax" and a sofa. The position of the bed is triggered when the sofa seat is raised to the second click. For the "relaxation" seat lift up to the first click. If the seat is raised until the second click, the position of the sofa is activated.
Accessibility on a budget, ease of use, a comfortable place for sleeping and sitting, a capacious linen box - these are the advantages of sofas with the "click-clack" mechanism. Perhaps the only drawback can be called only the lack of mobile mechanisms in the couches of books of domestic production, and therefore it will constantly have to be moved away from the wall.
The mechanism of "eurobook"
A very popular mechanism for transforming sofas for large families with children. Furniture is reliable and yet simple in design. Transforming the sofa is very simple: pull out the seat until it stops and lower the backrest horizontally.

- the first is the stiffness of the back, which takes some time to get used to,
- second - if the room is sliding surface, then the legs of the sofa can slide.
Pantograph mechanism
Such a mechanism is very similar to the sofa "eurobook". Only here the seat does not stretch itself, but it is raised and placed on the floor, and the back is lowered to the horizontal position. Such sofas are convenient for reading and watching TV.
Sofas with the "pantograph" mechanism are easy to use, have a spacious place to sleep, do not have sophisticated mechanisms that are prone to breakage, and castors protect the floor from mechanical damage. But, these sofas are quite expensive.
