Soft ottoman in the house
Unexpected, right? This is not a collectible leather sofa or a rare wardrobe, but this item will definitely come in handy for relaxation and will add comfort to your "nest".
Types of ottomans
The poufs are divided by:
- Wireframe
In my opinion, these are ordinary soft stools or the semblance of coffee tables. Such designs are used as supports for legs or objects, seats. They do not carry any special convenience, and they are expensive.
- Frameless
The best variety is a beanbag chair. It has no specific shape and can take on the features of the body of the person who sits on it. You can sit or lie down. I chose just this
What to look for when buying
Frameless furniture has the following varieties:
- Armchair - pear
- Classic bean bag chair
- Spherical pillow
- Armchair - banana
I recommend choosing a pear chair. This is the most convenient shape, but the main thing is to choose the right size. Standard sizes include: L (height no more than 85 cm, a good option for children), XL (height no more than 95 cm, width no more than 90 cm), XXL (height no more than 110 cm, width no more than 100 cm). It is best to take the largest XXL ottoman. On it, you can be alone or three and take a more comfortable position for rest.
The main feature of a good chair will be:
- Double zippered cover (easy to wash,
- Dense material and high quality filler
- The presence of a handle (convenience when moving)
When choosing an outer material for furniture, choose leather or heavy knitwear. Never use synthetic fabrics. They are inferior in strength, but the main disadvantage is their slipperiness. When you are on such bags, you will constantly slide off and will not be able to fully rest.
Synthetics are used for the inner cover, because the filler must move freely when exposed. Choose expanded polystyrene balls as the filler itself. They are soft and durable, offering maximum comfort. So, for example, padding polyester filler tends to thicken, and holofiber filler gets tangled together, forming tangles.
Pros and cons
Frameless furniture has a lot of advantages:
- Affordable price (cost from 1000 rubles)
- Convenience of placement
- Safety (you or your child cannot be injured if you fall on a pouf)
- Ease of changing color and appearance (just remove the outer cover and choose another)
- Convenience in transportation
By cons can only be attributed to rapid contamination, because the usual place of such furniture on the floor with direct contact. Also, with a sloppy or sharp landing, you can tear the seams, but this can be avoided. When buying, choose an ottoman stitched with thick reinforced threads with triple stitching.
Outcome
All my friends bought such furniture and were satisfied. In my apartment there is one ottoman in the room, the other in the kitchen, but I always carry them wherever it is convenient for me. If you know more comfortable things that perfectly combine price + quality + comfort, then I look forward to your advice and recommendations.
