Clic clac for small spaces: how to choose?
The clic clac is the name of a very specific mechanism. This sofa features a mattress folded in half in the middle, on a metal frame. One half serves as a backrest and the other as a seat.
The sofa bed can be transformed in two movements (hence the name "clic clac") into a bed with two sleeping places . By definition, the folded sofa bed necessarily measures 190 cm minimum since this is the sleeping length . But this type of sofa bed is less bulky than a classic sofa since you can choose it without armrests for example.
However, be careful about the quality of the sofa bed and the intended use. If you plan to sleep on it regularly or daily, make sure you have a quality mattress.
On the sofa beds, you will have the possibility of choosing your favorite covering from several leathers and fabrics, or several cover colors .
Small 2-seater sofa bed: dimensions
The small sofa bed measures at least 190 cm wide: this is the floor space that you will need to allow for. This type of sofa bed unfolds parallel to the wall.
If you are looking for a smaller footprint when your sofa bed is folded, then you should opt for a BZ . As this convertible bed is actually a mattress folded in 3, it occupies a much smaller width, 140 cm.
It unfolds perpendicular to the wall. So, be sure to take the precise dimensions of your room before purchasing. It's important that your bench fits perfectly into your living room, studio, or bedroom. And of course, it must be able to unfold it without bumping into furniture. Don't forget to take measurements beforehand!
