Should I buy an armchair-bag?

Furniture for the home today is quite expensive. To refresh your armchair, bed or sofa, you need to pay out a big amount of money. What to do in this case? How to give your apartment a stylish look for a little money? There is one answer to this question - frameless furniture. They are an order of magnitude cheaper than their full-size «siblings» are, and a variety of shapes and colors can decorate any interior.

The most popular types of such furniture are armchair-bags. This is a very convenient and inexpensive acquisition, since it allows you to be as comfortable as possible, like adults and children, very light (the maximum weight does not exceed 6 kg), easy to care and use, and able to take any form, adjusting to the person who sit in it.

Depending on the appearance, these seats can divide into the following categories:

• Ball - made in the form of a soccer ball, have a corresponding color, with a deepening of the seat;
• Pear (bean) - have an elongated narrowed top and an extended bottom, reminiscent of the mentioned fruit;
• Pyramid - cone-shaped models with a characteristic narrow top part;
• Pouf - made in the form of a small cube, serve as an accessory to a journal or cosmetic table, leg stand, has no back;
• Big pad (mat) - similar to the big pillow, got quite massive sizes, you can even lie on them - the dimensions allow;
• Decorative - can be made in the form of toys, vegetables, fruits, characters from cartoons or games, etc.

All armchair-bags can divide into sizes that are encoded in Latin, based on their size and the height of the user:

• S - children's (40 * 50 cm (length * height) - you can put in the baby's room, it will become a great toy for him;
• M - for teenagers (80 * 100 cm) - they are located in older children's rooms or in front of the TV in the living room;
• L - adults (80 * 120 cm) - suitable for any room, and used as additional seats for guests;
• XL - enlarged (120 * 150 cm) - these models created not only for the people of heroic size, but also for couples, because they can easily accommodate two people.

Frameless furniture is used not only as the main, but also additional, if you often visit friends or relatives, or you have a great friendly family. A huge variety of models allows you to install them not only indoors, but also outside - in the garden, on the balcony, in the office, reception room or as a great option for the country-house. Children in general will be delighted, because the armchair-bag takes any shape, fitting underneath them. Frameless furniture will be the companion of their games and pranks.

Armchairs-bags consist of several parts - a filler, an inner cover with drainage holes for the release of air and external with fasteners to the inner. As internal filling it recommend choosing only foam polystyrene balls, the diameter of which can be from 2 to 5 mm. The smaller the size of the filler portion, the more opportunities to change its position. However, it should be borne in mind that large balls keep their shape longer, there is no need for their frequent replacement. The worst option is the filling of the foam plastic crumb - yes, this option is much cheaper, but it crumbles, mumble, and quickly loses its shape. A dust from it not only gets into the air, but also stays in the lungs of your household. Cheap models may break down 1 or 2 weeks after starting to use.

Drainage rings are located in the upper part of the chair, with which the air quickly emerges from the inside, allowing the bag to quickly take the desired shape, without creating an additional load on the internal seams. Since the chair will be operated in different conditions, the louvers should have a large diameter and an external coating that will be resistant to corrosion. Rings without processing quickly become inoperative, rust and leave stains on the inner lining. The qualitative louvers have a thin outer rim and a silvery color.

The quality of the fabric of the inner cover depends on the lifetime of your furniture. Therefore, it is necessary to stop the choice on artificial materials - nylon or polyester, they have a soft structure, can withstand large loads and different operating conditions - they can jump or sit sharply. Non-woven materials of spunbond type (from which usually make shoes cases, plants coverings, etc.) are not suitable as an inner sheath, because they quickly break, hardly change the shape and pass moisture inside. Some manufacturers make a special impregnation of the inner layer, which prevents it from moisturizing. Others - sew special inserts that provide additional ventilation content.

The outer shell defines the design of the seat of the sack. It is made of a variety of materials - leather (natural or artificial), furniture fabrics (velour, jacquard, sacking, flock, Oxford), cotton, suede, artificial fur, eco-skins, flax, etc. If the armchair is located in a nursery, it is advisable to have a hypoallergenic covering that is easy to cross. Any materials are suitable for the premises, but for use on the outside - only the skin and its substitutes, as they do not soak and are quite resistant to weather surprises. Between the outer and inner covers should be securely fastened. The ideal option is the Velcro, the width of which is about 5 cm, stitched around the perimeter of the product. Thus, the chair for a long time will maintain its shape and will provide maximum comfort from the use.

With regard to how often it is necessary to change the filler, then everything depends not only on the frequency and conditions of its operation, but also on the material of its manufacture. High-quality foam polystyrene balls can easily withstand from six months to a half years without losing their properties. In addition, for the convenience of transportation, the seat-bag can be equipped with sewn pens not only in the upper part, but also on the sides.

Based on the foregoing, if you do not want to spend too much on buying new furniture, then you should pay attention to frameless models. Under the right conditions of use, they will serve you for years, and a variety of colors, shapes and textures will enliven and emphasize any design of both the interior and exterior.
