A straight sofa sits along a wall and opens forwards, so two numbers matter most: what it takes now and what it takes opened out. There are seven models here, from the narrowest at 900 mm to 2430 mm long. Here is what separates them.
The seven straight sofas
All seven open into a full sleeping place, and all but Patrik have a linen box.
four widths
Patrik
The only sofa in the catalogue made in four widths: 900, 1200, 1400 and 1600 mm. The same sofa suits a child’s room or a living room. A metal frame, springless, with a calico inner cover beneath the upholstery.
washable cover
Samba New
The quilted cover comes off and goes in the wash. Nothing else in the section does that, and it is exactly why people choose it for a house with children or pets.
130 mm clearance
Nolan
Tall metal legs: the frame seems to hover, the room reads as more spacious, and a robot vacuum passes underneath freely.
three positions
Mark
The click-clack mechanism gives three positions: sit upright, recline halfway, or open out fully. Handy when the sofa faces a television. Memoryfoam as the top layer.
800 mm deep
Sheldon and Chester NEW
The deepest seats in the section. Sheldon is springless and does not creak; Chester NEW has a 1610 × 2040 mm sleeping area and the lowest seat at 390 mm.
no need to move it
Deni
A walking mechanism: the seat slides smoothly forward and down, so the sofa stays where it is and the floor stays unscratched. Compact at 2110 × 1020 mm folded.
Dimensions
Every figure in the specifications is in millimetres. A straight sofa needs measuring twice: along the wall, and out into the room.
Folded length
From 900 mm on the narrowest Patrik to 2430 mm on Sheldon. This is the wall the sofa occupies.
Opened depth
From 900 to 1650 mm. That is how far it comes into the room — the strip you must keep clear.
Sleeping area
From 900 × 2000 mm to 1610 × 2040 mm. A double starts at 1400 × 2000.
Seat height
From 390 mm on Chester NEW to 480 mm on Nolan. Lower is a deeper seat, higher is easier to rise from.
Seat depth
From 600 to 870 mm. Patrik is the deepest.
Floor clearance
From 10 mm on Samba New to 170 mm on Patrik. This is the number that decides whether a robot vacuum fits.
The load rating is 100 to 110 kg per seat. All seven have removable cushions.
What is inside
These are the same names that appear in each model’s specification.
Frame — Solid wood, plywood, particle board and fibreboard; Mark, Samba New and Patrik use a metal frame. The seat base often rests on beech slats.
Multi Pocket Spring TPS block — Every spring in its own pocket. Fitted to Samba New, Chester NEW, Deni and Nolan.
Bonnell spring block — The alternative on Deni and Chester NEW: springs linked to one another, an even balance and a long service life.
Springless — Mark, Sheldon and Patrik. Nothing to creak and nothing to break, with even support across the surface.
Ecofoam orthopaedic foam — The main working layer in all seven models.
Memoryfoam — Responds to body heat and follows your shape. Mark carries it as the top layer.
ReFiberMix thermal felt — A dividing layer between springs and foam.
Calico inner cover — Patrik has a second cover under the upholstery: the outer fabric can come off and the sofa stays closed.
What to check before ordering
Measure the wall — and separately the strip in front of the sofa that it will open into.
If someone will sleep on it every night, choose a sleeping area of 1400 mm or more and a model with a spring unit.
For a small room, look at Patrik: four widths let you match the sofa to the space exactly.
For a house with children or pets, Samba New: its cover comes off and washes.
If the sofa can never be pulled away from the wall, take Deni with its walking mechanism.
