How to make a sofa at home. We make upholstered furniture with our own hands

Typical furniture does not always fit a particular interior. When the standard options do not fit into the situation, you can make a sofa with your own hands - after all, any craftsman will cope with the work. To do this, you need drawings, materials, step-by-step instructions. The product, assembled independently, will last a long time, and will also look interesting in the room.

Work at home should begin with the creation of a scheme. To make the correct drawing of the sofa, you must:

1. Select a transformation mechanism.
2. Decide on the dimensions of the finished product, depending on its purpose (for sleeping or relaxing), as well as the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe room in which home-made furniture will stand.
3. Choose a model that suits the shape and design.
4. Prepare everything you need for work.

When choosing or independently constructing a drawing, it is important to take into account the characteristics of the specific material from which the home master plans to make homemade sofas. When the scheme is ready, you can proceed to the next stage - the calculation and ordering of metal, wood (or plywood, laminated chipboard), filler, upholstery fabric, consumables.

Upholstered furniture of a standard type consists of two blocks - a back and a seat. When unfolded, these components form a sleeping place. A corner sofa made of plywood is a design of three modules interconnected in the form of the letter G (less often - P). The furniture stands on four legs, in some models rollers are used instead.

If the product is intended for rest and night sleep (for example, for a bedroom or a nursery), a niche for bedding may be provided in the design. It is also convenient to put children's toys or old, unnecessary things in such a box. The presence of a special box makes the furniture more functional, but increases the weight of the sofa, making it difficult to transport.

Before studying the drawings and diagrams, you need to decide on the dimensions. The standard dimensions of the product with the book mechanism are 140 x 220 cm when unfolded. When the furniture is assembled, these dimensions are reduced (100 x 220 cm).

First, individual parts (modules) of the product are made, and then they are combined into a single whole. Assembling the sofa is the most important stage. When connecting the two main elements together, the master must ensure that the folded seat does not extend beyond the armrests. When the sofa is laid out, the distance between the frames should not be less than 10 mm.

The back and seat are made from blanks. Their number is the same for any model. It is necessary to cut out:

• rack;
• top and bottom rails;
• side bars;
• overlays.

You will also need two crossbars for the seat - back and front. For manufacturing, a board of 50 mm is suitable. Lastly, blanks are made for the back and seat panel.

Materials and tools

For the manufacture of the frame, wood is most often used. Less expensive options are also possible - plywood or chipboard. Metal frames are the strongest, but they have one drawback - the large weight of the finished product. Experienced craftsmen take for work such types of wood as:

• pine;
• Birch;
• alder.

When choosing a drawing, you should pay attention to the fact that each scheme is designed for specific materials. A drawing of a metal frame is not suitable for those who decide to make a sofa out of wood, and vice versa. For additional rigidity, experts recommend using a crate made of wood, plywood or chipboard. It can be made independently or replaced with lamellas of industrial production.

For upholstery, it is recommended to choose velor, tapestry or jacquard. These fabrics are stain resistant and easy to care for. The most popular fillers are batting, synthetic winterizer and pressed felt. They differ in elasticity and high density. Sintepon is a cheap option, but it does not last long.

You should prepare in advance the tools necessary for assembling the product at home. First of all, it is a furniture stapler (for upholstery) and a screwdriver. The master will also need:

• ruler;
• wooden or metal square;
• stationery knife-cutter;
• miter box.

It should be purchased in advance and diluted according to the instructions for carpentry glue and for foam rubber. You will also need consumables: self-tapping screws, wood screws, nails, staples. After that, you can start working.

In Soviet times, foam rubber was most often used as a filler for upholstered furniture. It does not last long and can cause an allergic reaction. When hauling old sofas at home, foam rubber is usually additionally compacted with padding polyester.

Choice of transformation mechanism

It is necessary to choose high-quality parts from good metal that can withstand heavy loads. Each mechanism has its pros and cons. They are presented in the table below.

Name	How it works	Advantages and disadvantages
Book	Two frames with fixed spring blocks are responsible for the transformation, instead of which a soft filler can be used.	The backrest is easy to recline, below you can put a box for storing bedding. However, such a sofa is difficult to decompose if there is not enough space in the room.
Tango	The principle of operation is similar to a book, but the back of a corner sofa (or a standard-shaped product) can be in three positions: horizontal, vertical and intermediate.	The furniture has a compact size, when unfolded on the sleeping surface there are no bumps, but the back cannot be leaned against the wall.
Eurobook	The seat rolls forward thanks to small rollers, the back is hidden in a special niche.	The mechanism lasts a long time, the bed takes up a large area, but the rollers can leave scratches on the linoleum.

Most often, in home-made products, the book mechanism is used. It is easier to make it from improvised materials. If the spring blocks are made from high-quality raw materials, they do not wear out for a long time. A more modern modification of this model is do-it-yourself eurobook sofas.

The French folding bed mechanism is very popular among lovers of transforming sofas. To expand the bed, just pull the edge of the seat, and the three sections of the product will straighten out. However, this option is not suitable for home-made furniture, because such a mechanism quickly fails.

If the room in which the sofa will be made of wood is spacious enough, you can use the accordion mechanism. Such a product takes up very little space when folded, but requires a lot of space for unfolding. When the bed is pulled forward, it rests on the outgoing legs. The main advantage is that no physical effort is required for unfolding.

Accordion sofas last a long time, but moving legs can scratch the flooring. They also have nowhere to build a box for bedding, and the niche is located in the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe rear back, which is not very convenient.

Manufacturing steps based on the model

A step-by-step guide to making furniture for sleeping and relaxing may vary depending on the specific model. Most often, home craftsmen make classic books, corners and modular products from pallets. Each option has its own design features. Instructions for assembling sofas depend on them.

Sofa book

For work, you will need timber and boards, foam rubber as a filler and upholstery fabric. You also need a ready-made transformation mechanism. Consumables will require nuts, screws, furniture bolts, staples. Below is a step by step guide. Necessary:

1. Assemble a laundry box from boards measuring 1900 mm. Strengthen the finished product with 2 rails.
2. Make two frames - for the seat and back, fix the slats on them to support the mattress.
3. Cut out armrests from fiberboard. Use boards 55 mm wide and 1 m long.
4. Make a wooden frame for the armrests and assemble the parts into one whole.
5. Drill holes in the bedding drawer.
6. Assemble a sofa book from modules.

When installing the transformation mechanism, it must be ensured that in a horizontal position the distance between the backrest and the seat is about 10 mm. To strengthen the structure, you can additionally apply a grid of rails. The frame is sheathed with sheets of foam rubber. To smooth out sharp corners along the edge of the product, it is recommended to glue an additional strip of the specified material as a border. If everything is done correctly, you should get a soft roller. The sofa the book differs in compactness and convenience, has interesting design.

For work you will need timber and boards. You should also pre-select plywood or chipboard. The first option is more durable and reliable, the second is cheap. The minimum recommended chipboard thickness is 16 mm, it makes no sense to take thinner material. Stages of work:

1. Draw a drawing. Calculate the length of both modules.
2. Draw up a diagram showing the locations of the fasteners.
3. Assemble and fasten with self-tapping screws a rectangular frame of boards.
4. Install the cross bars in the center of the lower and upper parts.
5. Sew up fiberboard at the bottom of the box.
6. In the described way, make the second half of the product, the corner insert of a square handicap.
7. Fold and fasten the three received elements.
8. Make a back of 6 modules, fasten all the parts to each other with a beam.
9. Install the seat on the hinges attached to the backrest components.
10. Fill upholstered furniture with foam rubber at least 10 cm thick.
11. Sheathe the frame with upholstery fabric.

For upholstery you will need a furniture stapler. It is recommended to start sheathing from the farthest corner of upholstered furniture, gradually moving to the center. You need to nail the fabric to the back from the bottom up. When this part is already processed, go to the sides. Lastly, the seat is covered with fabric.

Pallets are wooden pallets. You can find them at any hardware store. Craftsmen use pallets as modules in the manufacture of upholstered and cabinet furniture at home. To make original sofas with your own hands for a summer residence, you will need one large pallet. To work you need:

1. Saw the pallet into 2 fragments - large (seat) and small (back).
2. Attach the legs to the seat with screws.
3. Fix the back in the desired position. To do this, you need wooden corners.
4. Prime and varnish the surface of the furniture.
5. Fasten the plywood for the back to the crossbars using the hinges.

If the product will stand in the country or on the balcony, it is best to sew a protective cover and decorative pillows from leatherette. This material is unpretentious in care. Also, leatherette tolerates high humidity well and has a long service life.

To make a product of standard sizes, suitable for sleeping and relaxing, you will need 6-8 pallets. Manufacturing technology will be about the same. One of the pallets needs to be disassembled into boards and used to fasten the modules to each other. Before you start sleeping on such furniture, it is advisable to lay an orthopedic mattress.

To make a soft sofa, it is recommended to choose functional models with drawers and good quality filler. Roll-out (retractable) options with rollers and guides are very popular. They are good because they do not require physical effort to unfold.

You should not save on fittings, because the life of the furniture depends on the reliability of fasteners. Novice joiners and carpenters are better off choosing clear geometric models. They are suitable for interiors in any style. They are also much easier to make clearly and accurately compared to furniture of complex shapes.

Spike joints located at the ends of the boards increase the strength of the product and increase its service life. However, it is impossible to make them at home, this requires special equipment. For this reason, a novice carpenter should not set himself such a task.

Experts do not advise connecting individual elements with nails. Instead, experienced craftsmen use screws or self-tapping screws. If nails are used, the fasteners are gradually loosened.

Recommended wood species for making a sofa at home are spruce and pine. Before work, the boards are carefully polished - the surface of the material must be smooth, without roughness. Do not cut boards indoors, as wood dust accumulated in the air is harmful to health and can cause allergies.

For stuffing the back, you need to use thin foam rubber, for the seat - more dense. You can glue several sheets together. It is necessary to pay attention to the density of joining of soft parts with each other. A thin layer of synthetic winterizer is laid on top of the foam rubber to protect the filler from external influences. In furniture factories, it is used to make sofas softer.

The frame must support the weight of several people. A children's sofa made of timber is calculated based on the weight of babies (teenagers), an adult - depending on the build of older family members.

In order for wood or chipboard products to serve for a long time, all parts must be treated with a special furniture varnish (stain). If the garden sofa is intended for children to relax, the coating should not contain aggressive and allergenic chemicals. Homemade sofas have many advantages. They fit well into any space, look unusual, suitable for sleeping and relaxing. The main thing is to choose high-quality material for work and clearly present the step-by-step sequence of actions. Then making upholstered furniture with your own hands will become an interesting hobby.

A sofa is a piece of furniture without which it is impossible to imagine any home. In any apartment, even the smallest there is a place for him. It is not difficult to choose it in the store, the range of products offered by furniture manufacturers can satisfy the needs of everyone. But how to make a sofa with your own hands? This is not as difficult as it might seem at first glance, and the result will be excellent if you follow certain rules.

You can make such a piece of furniture based on information available on the Internet, for example, a master class with video instructions, for beginners this will be a great help. A homemade sofa will always be creative and original. After all, you can make it yourself from improvised materials, and at the same time create a unique thing. But first you need to decide which type of sofa is more convenient for a particular room, what sofas are made of, what is needed for its manufacture.

Sofas can be divided according to the following parameters:

1. By design
2. By type of transformation
3. By appointment

• Design features

By design, sofas are straight, corner and island.

Straight options are suitable for all rooms - this is a classic. Angular are practical. Corner sofa does not take up much space, it can easily fit in a small apartment. The island sofa has rounded shapes, it is installed in large rooms, where it will occupy a central place. Such mini sofas look especially advantageous near the windowsill, where they look like small islands of light and meditation.

• Types of transformation

Book. This is the most popular mechanism. The sofa bed is usually used as a sleeping place, as well as for daily relaxation. To turn it into a bed for sleeping, you need to raise the seat until it clicks and lower it.

Eurobook. It is very easy to lay out this type of sofa. It is necessary to push the seat towards you, and lower the back into the resulting empty space. Most often, the box under the sofa is used for bedding, which is important in small apartments.

Click-clack. This is a relatively new, improved type of sofa-book transformation. It allows you to choose different positions of the backrest, setting it at a certain degree. In some models, the side parts can also be modified and turned into headrests and armrests.

Accordion. One of the easiest layout options. It is enough to push the seat forward, after which the other two parts will fall, forming a flat surface. The sofa accordion fits perfectly into a small apartment, because it does not require a lot of space.

Dolphin. This view unfolds simply - you need to push the block under the seat, then move it up and push its second part towards you. This type of sofa is versatile, it is suitable for both tight and spacious rooms.

Telescope. This method of transformation is also called roll-out. It was named so because when unfolded, all its parts slide out one from the other, forming a comfortable sleeping place.

Puma. The principle of this mechanism is simple: the front part is pushed forward and mounted on a support, and the second part of the sofa rises to the free space. This type is very compact, saves space.

Cot. To unfold this type of sofa, you just need to pull on a special loop, it will unfold like a scroll.

Lit. The lit mechanism is most often used for children's sofas. It turns into an ordinary bed with a slight movement. Its back remains in one position, and the seat is a berth. The armrests are transformed at different angles.

• Appointment of sofas

Sofas can be used in a variety of rooms and conditions, so they are grouped according to their purpose as follows:

1. Office - can be installed in the reception room, manager's office, rest room
2. For the living room - place against the wall, in the middle of the room or near the windowsill, so that natural light falls when reading a book
3. For cafes and restaurants
4. For a children's room (for rest, for sleeping)
5. kitchen
6. For the hallway (compact, low)

Why such distinctions? In order to optimally select the mechanism and upholstery material. The children's room needs a practical, non-staining material and a simple way of transformation. For furniture that will play the role of a window sill, a back is not required. The office can be equipped with inexpensive furniture with wear-resistant upholstery. To emphasize the status of the room, custom-made sofas are made of solid wood (the so-called Stalinist sofa), with carved trim. Properly selected for its intended purpose, this piece of furniture will last an order of magnitude longer and support the overall style of the room.

Filling

Before you start making a sofa with your own hands, you need to know its components. What the sofa consists of is easy to guess:

• wooden frame
• foam rubber of various thicknesses
• springs (optional)
• special upholstery fabric
• fittings (legs, fasteners, mechanisms)

What the sofa will be made of during self-assembly, you can decide based on your budget. Valuable wood and carvings are not affordable for everyone, so you should pay attention to more affordable options. For example, on the remains of various building materials, from which you can build a new piece of furniture and get rid of the old sofa.

We do it ourselves

Having decided on the purpose of future furniture and its mechanisms, you can begin to manufacture it. To assemble a sofa with your own hands, you need to adhere to the following plan:

Stage 1. Preparing tools. For work you will need:

• electric jigsaw or wood saw
• screwdriver
• furniture stapler
• grinder or planer
• a hammer
• sharp scissors and knife
• sewing machine
• roulette

In addition, you should stock up on basic materials:

• bars
• plywood, chipboard
• boards
• furniture foam
• synthetic winterizer or batting
• upholstery fabric
• wood glue
• self-tapping screws
• pencil

Stage 2. Frame assembly. The manufacture of any furniture begins with its frame. The sofa frame can be of various shapes and sizes, but for home production, you should not choose too complex configurations.

Let's consider an example of how to make a sofa for a country house like an eurobook, the simplest do-it-yourself sofa. A sofa scheme of this kind will not cause difficulties even for beginners in carpentry.

The frame is based on boards that will provide the necessary strength to the product. The rigidity of the structure will be given by thick plywood or chipboard sheets with which it is sheathed. Inside the frame remains hollow, which facilitates the construction.

You can make a frame using a screwdriver and self-tapping screws, which should first be smeared with carpentry glue for greater strength. If there are remnants of material from construction, you can make a sofa from a bar. That is, a beam will be used as a supporting structure. A more original and durable frame is made of profile pipes, but additional tools and skills are needed to work with this material.

First, we make the bottom drawer from the boards. To do this, you will need two boards (1.9 m and 0.8 m), 2.5 cm thick and 20 cm wide, and 4 bars 20 cm long. .

The frame of the seat and backrest - rectangles of bars with a section of 40 * 60. Lamellas are attached to the finished parts, which will be the support for the mattress.

The armrests for the sofa can be made at your discretion, or you can refuse them altogether. They are also made of bars and sheathed with plywood. Their form depends only on the ability to handle the material and tools.

Stage 3. Assembly. When all the main frame elements are ready, you can start assembling them. For eurobooks, special mechanisms are needed, which are sold in furniture fittings stores. They need to be fastened so that there is a gap of 1 cm between the seat and the backrest in the unfolded position. The sharp corners of the structure are polished.

Stage 4. Foam padding. At this stage, the structure must be laid out and the foam rubber cut to size, cutting out small corners on both sides at the junction of the backrest with the seat. Foam rubber is glued to the frame elements. To increase the level of comfort, you can use the foam layer may consist of several parts of different thicknesses and densities. Too soft sofa is not very comfortable for sleeping, this should also be taken into account.

Stage 5. Upholstery. For her, you should choose a durable material, it is sold in a wide variety in fabric stores. The side seams need to be stitched, and the edges bent, attached to the frame with a furniture stapler. For complex designs, you can order a cover for furniture production.

Not always store options for sofas can be suitable for a particular interior, in this case, making it yourself is a simple and affordable option. Thanks to him, the family budget will be saved, and the original design will surprise and delight friends and relatives. On a solid and spacious sofa, precious moments of relaxation will become even more pleasant.

The interior of any modern apartment, private house involves the installation of upholstered furniture: beds, armchairs or sofas. Previously, it was assumed that the living room serves as the place where the sofa will be placed. Today, developers have presented so many sofas of various types that, in terms of their functional characteristics and appearance, they can be located in almost any room, from the kitchen to the balcony.

The newly minted owner of upholstered furniture often has the question of how to assemble a sofa with your own hands. The installation process itself does not imply the presence of a special kind of technical knowledge and skills. The complete set of any sofas implies the presence of a user manual, which details the mechanism of how to do this.

But you need to take into account the fact that the different shape and filler of soft parts make certain adjustments to the overall picture of the assembly. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to what sofas can be.

Forms of sofas and types of filler

There are the following types:

Straight is a popular option, often referred to as a classic sofa. Finding the required dimensions of such a sofa that meets the room is not difficult.

Corner - roomy and having the design in the form of the letter "G" option, which is practical, saves space by writing out in a corner, and also combines the function of a bed.

Modular - a representative of a new generation of upholstered furniture, which does not have a fixed configuration. There are sections that are transformed and compiled in accordance with the idea of ​​​​the owner of the sofa. At the same time, they can both be fastened together, and simply attached to each other.

In the production of soft parts, two types of fillers are used, which determine the following varieties: spring sofas (with dependent and independent blocks) and foam rubber (polyurethane foam is used in them).

Spring sofas are heavier than foam rubber ones and during installation they can cause a number of difficulties precisely in connection with the weight.

Assembling a straight sofa

If, after purchasing the sofa, it was decided to install it yourself, then a certain sequence of actions and a mandatory study of the sofa assembly scheme are necessary. First you need to carefully, without damaging the upholstery, release each part from the packaging. After that, it is recommended to simply leave them in such a state for a while so that the material can “assimilate” the humidity and temperature conditions of the room.

At this time, you can check the quantity and quality of the accessories that come with the kit, as well as prepare the required tool: screwdrivers, you may need a drill with drills of the desired diameter, hexagons.

The next step is to screw the legs, if any. This must be done for the simple reason that the assembled structure will be less agile and much heavier. In addition, it makes sense to free up space for further work, so that all the details and tools are in sight.

The composition of the direct sofa includes the main frame and additional elements (back, armrests, decorative components).

The basic build process goes like this:

We put the fasteners by aligning the holes and inserting bolts, self-tapping screws or screws into them as provided in the manual. Next, carefully twist them. Similarly, we connect the seat and back of the sofa. The construction obtained at this step is the basis.

Then, on both sides, we install armrests and all decorative elements, if any, on the frame. There are cases when the mounting holes were not visible, because they were hidden behind the upholstery. Then it should be carefully bent. The instructions should say this.

At the last step, we check the sliding mechanism, if the sofa is equipped with it. His work should be smooth, without creaking and extraneous sounds.

It is important to remember that it makes sense to tighten the internal fasteners not to the stop, later, if the sofa is not mounted correctly, it will be easier to disassemble it. However, after completion of work, one should not forget about tightening all attachment points.

Corner sofa and the nuances of its installation

Assembling a corner sofa involves connecting two or three parts, which are seats, backs and a retractable part. Any specialist will recommend collecting large sofa elements first, and then small ones.

First of all, you need to familiarize yourself with the design of such a sofa. It can be right-handed and left-handed, one part of it is longer than the other, the unfolding mechanism itself is also different for different models; the assembly sequence will depend on these facts.

The frame, armrests, seats and backrests are the parts of the corner sofa, the connection of which requires the following steps:

• First, the supports are attached to the base, corner sections and armrests with screws. Rollers are installed on the sliding part. All elements must be strictly fixed.
• Using screws, one of the armrests is connected to the corner section. It is necessary to check the stability of the fixed elements.
• The base section and backrest are mounted, and the box is connected to the second armrest, after which the assembled structure is fastened to the corner section.
• The rear wall is installed, fixed with armrests. Again, the stability of the resulting structure should be checked.
• Finally, a roll-out mechanism is attached to the guides installed in the base part.

There are corner sofas (Atlanta) complete with a table that is attached to the side and acts as an armrest. The assembly of the Atlanta sofa is carried out in the following sequence: first, the transport fasteners are removed and the roll-out seat is pulled out, fixed with a special stop, the screws are unscrewed with a screwdriver.

Next, the armrest is aligned with the back of the sofa and fixed with two hex screws. Then, through the metal corner of the ottoman box and its wall, the backrest is fixed with three screws. A bar table is screwed to the ottoman with two hexagon screws, which also serves as a second armrest. Thus, two modules are assembled, subsequently they are pulled together by fasteners.

Assembling a modular sofa

Each furniture manufacturer has its own design of modular sofas, the only advantage that remains unchanged is that they can be assembled and disassembled at your discretion. Another advantage of the modules is the fact that they themselves are often sold already assembled, and the buyer is given the opportunity to combine them at his discretion.

But if the configuration of the sofa involves the presence of a more complex module, you will need to do a number of additional steps, taking into account the specifics of a particular model. Modular sofas come in two types: sectional and transformable.

The sectional option implies a rigid connection of ready-made modules, which the buyer chooses himself in the store. The possibility of combining is precisely at the pre-sale stage, when various layout options are considered. And here you may need sofa assembly drawings that reflect all the nuances of possible combinations. Then, already in place, the sofa is connected with fasteners and remains in this form all the time.

A more interesting option is a transformable modular system. The number of purchased sections is unlimited, then any design is already formed from them. The initially purchased modular sofa, when rearranging the sections, can become a single bed or a set of chairs. In addition, sections can be given a variety of geometric shapes: square, rectangular, round, etc.

Thus, the process of assembling a sofa is quite a responsible task. But it is within the power of anyone who has the time, the necessary tool and the desire to do it with their own hands. In any case, there is always the opportunity to turn to professionals, assemblers of the company from which the sofa was purchased, or to individuals who provide installation services.

The issue of arranging a dacha comes to life, as a rule, with the onset of the first sunny and warm spring days. It is rare that anyone is actively preparing for the summer season in winter, and this is due to quite objective reasons. ("Coating for terraces made of wood", "Covering terraces with tiles", "Technology for laying paving slabs", "Winter garden. Choice and photo", "We build a veranda with our own hands"). But there are things that you can take care of even in the cold period of time and, having entered the dacha in the summer, allow yourself to enjoy the weekend in comfortable conditions. This preparation includes, first of all, furniture for summer cottages, namely wooden sofas. (Fig. 2)

Equally important is furniture both for the interior of a country house and for arranging terraces on the street. ("Ideal furniture for your favorite balcony", "65 terrace design examples and ways to recreate", "Illuminated furniture with LED strip"). Furniture for summer cottages in a huge assortment is sold in almost all construction and furniture hypermarkets, but it is not always possible to purchase exactly what fits perfectly into the interior of the house or the landscape design of the site. In such situations, you can try and make the appropriate furniture with your own hands.

Do-it-yourself furniture for summer cottages can be no less interesting, modern and original than furniture purchased in stores and manufactured at the factory. The first and simplest thing you can think of is to make the necessary interior items from improvised materials. Such materials, for example, can serve even the most ordinary pallets. Composing them into a certain form of a simple, corner or U - shaped sofa, we get extraordinary and comfortable furniture made of natural wood. (Fig. 4)

Assembling a sofa from pallets, you can easily adjust its height. There are two ways to do this. The first is to fasten original legs from wooden bars, the second is to fix two tiers of pallets by folding them one on one. ("We are building a podium. photo in the interior", "Children's bed podium with a bookcase"). For both the first and the second methods, it is necessary to drill holes in the attachment points, lubricate the joining places for reliability with special glue, and only then tighten all the elements with bolts.

Pillows and mattresses for sofas make up the whole world. Their forms and design methods are limited solely by the imagination of the master. The easiest way to make a mattress or pillow is to buy foam rubber and sew a cover for it. Currently, a huge number of types of this material are sold, differing in size and density, so choosing the right one for your sofa will not be difficult. (Fig. 47)
