The most popular are soft corners.
The soft option is always comfortable and comfortable.
There are several types of such furniture for the kitchen:
- Classical. It consists of two sofas. Can be with armrests, with a storage box, with open shelves or attached to the wall.
- Sleeper models. They are wider and stronger. Such samples will be indispensable for large families, in which sometimes there is a need to organize an extra bed. The basis for such a sofa should be metal. If you ignore this advice, the apartment will have one less interior detail.
- Semicircular sofa, often used in studio apartments to distinguish the dining area from the living room.
- Unique, I think the modular sofa. It is a set of sections from which you can create many variations of seating positions depending on the needs at one time or another.
The sofa should be comfortable during the meal
Regardless of the shape of the seat when buying, you need to pay attention to the upholstery.

Since the kitchen is a place with an increased risk of stains, the choice of upholstery should be as carefully as possible. It is best to choose materials that are easy to clean. Optimal are:
- microfiber;
- flock (it is better to choose those who have pets, as it is not too susceptible to mechanical deformations);
- jacquard;
- chenille;
- velours;
- eco leather
The fabric should be comfortable to wash.
If there is a problem with pollution, you can choose the option with removable covers.
Do not be afraid of synthetic fabrics, even allergies. After special treatment and testing for the content of toxic and flammable substances, such materials become hypoallergenic.
Eco-leather is also popular, but selected by few
Prefer classic options, I recommend to buy a leather model.
As fillers in the production of soft sofas can be used:
- foam rubber - the classic version. However, it preserves its shape poorly and is considered a material that loses its relevance. If foam is selected, it is better to choose a latex-like look;
- polyurethane foam - more modern filler. It keeps a form and differs in high degree of durability, wear resistance, environmental friendliness.

- variety of shapes and sizes;
- wide range of colors (due to this, you can choose a suitable shade under the kitchen set).

I think a model with a sleeping place is a rather interesting option for a place to rest. These are sofas that fold out and turn into a comfortable place to sleep and rest.
In corners with a berth, the transformation mechanism is the most important. It affects the usability of the furniture.
Option with a berth
Two main mechanisms:
- withdrawable;
- "Dolphin".
The roll-out option is a system for extending one part of the sofa (seat), in which place the back is laid. It is enough to pull on a special eyelet so that the folded sofa turns into a flat bed. At the same time, models with such a mechanism are quite compact and do not occupy room space.
More profitable than a clamshell
Both are suitable for daily use. However, there are nuances of choice: the frame of such a sofa should be as strong as possible to withstand the weight of a person. Therefore, the basis for the lounger is made of reliable metal.
You can put the sofa in the kitchen separately
A few words about the tables
The kit almost always includes the central element - the table. There are several standard models:
- moving apart;
- folding;
- whole.
The shape of the table can be:
- square;
- round;
- rectangular;
- oval.
We choose the table according to taste, and so that it fits into the chosen interior.
