It so happened that the chair in the living room became the main attribute. It fits perfectly into any interior, and will also come in handy if guests suddenly arrive. But it is worth noting that at the present time, most abandon seats in favor of the sofa. However, the latter does not preserve personal space for each person, which is quite capable of providing a smaller and larger place.
The armchair for the living room can either have armrests or not. In the event that they are installed, the design is especially comfortable.
Types of armchairs
Before making a purchase, it is necessary to consider the types of chairs that are available in the assortments of many manufacturers.
A classic piece of furniture is ordinary furniture that has a soft seat and a back. Armrests may not be available, depending on the model.
The chair bed is useful to those who need an extra bed, which does not occupy a particularly large space. Most often, such furniture is chosen by those with small apartments. On the market you can find three types of chair beds: roll-out, folding, "accordions". They differ in methods of transformation. When buying, you should pay attention to what the frame is made of. It must be durable and especially durable. Metal is considered the highest quality.
The recliner is now particularly popular. But even so, there are those who don’t know what kind of chair this is. For the living room it is purchased quite often. The recliner is furniture that has a footrest, and its base rotates. The backrest can be installed in any position. The recliner is intermediate between the armchair and the armchair bed.
Rocking is famous since ancient times. It was created for those who need to relax quickly. An armchair for a living room of this kind is also useful for young mothers who are constantly rocking a baby. Most often, a rocking chair is installed either in the country or in your own house.
The "smart chair" (it is also called the lift) has a special mechanism. It raises and lowers the base of the furniture at the touch of a button. This chair is intended for those who have back problems. However, it is often used by healthy people who love comfort and prefer expensive things.
The chaise lounge chair has a metal frame. It has special fasteners for fixing the most comfortable position.
The massage chair for the living room has mechanisms that cause heating and vibration. In addition, there is a kneading function. All of them act on particularly delicate parts of the human body: the back and neck. It is worth noting that all models have the ability to change the intensity of the massage.
Frameless furniture is usually soft chairs. For the living room they are used quite often. They do not have a frame and consist only of a filler and a cover. Thanks to this, the chair retains heat. With such furniture, the chance of getting injured is zero.
Dimensions
Before you buy a chair in the living room, you need to pay attention to how much space will be allocated to it. If the seat is too low, it is difficult to get up from it. And if it’s high, then you can forget about convenience. A narrow chair fetters, a wide one creates discomfort in a person. If there are armrests, they should also be at the right height. High will load the shoulders, low will not become a support.
Design
The chair in the living room must be selected correctly. Each furniture of this type has its own design. Consider them.
- The non-folding frame is called monolithic. In such a chair it is impossible to change the position of the back. It takes up a lot of space. Its main advantage is maximum strength.
- The folding design has special connecting parts. The disadvantage is the possibility of damage to the sliding parts, because the strength here is poor. However, the plus can be called saving space.
- The collapsible design has several parts that need to be combined to get complete furniture. This option is easy to transport.
Advice
Before you buy a chair, you must sit on it or lie down (if it is an extra bed). So you can accurately evaluate how convenient it is.
The back and seat should be elastic and soft. It is such a model that will not be harmful to health. Of course, you need to pay attention to the strength and stability of furniture.
All sofas and armchairs (for the living room and not only) have their own boundaries of the weight that they support. Learn about the maximum load you need from the seller or from the documentation for the product.
