But one family can not do without a sofa. Usually there are several such products. And each of them performs its function, has its location. Some we love, others we try to use only in case of emergency. This is due to their convenience and comfort. And how does the sofa "Karina", sold in the chain of stores "Ascona" look like in this plan? The furniture of this manufacturer has mixed reviews.
Sofa "Karina"
The main advantage of the sofa "Karina" - helarge, but takes up little space in the room. In addition, it has an anatomical mattress on which Ascona specializes (online store). It is transformed by the mechanism of MultiComfort, called "accordion". The mattress is tall, has 3 to 7 zones. The spring unit "Nanopoket" of 15 thousand independent springs is designed so that it can sit on the sofa and sleep on it comfortably.
In order to sit comfortably on the sofa, a support system for the knees was created in the mattress. The backrest has a slope, comfortable for sitting.
The design of the sofa without any complaints, it is made in the style of minimalism. Comfortable armrests provide comfort and coziness. They are covered with a cloth.
Anatomical mattresses
Anatomical or orthopedic mattressdiffers in that he himself adjusts to the contours of the person lying on it. It allows you to have a good rest, relax and prevent the development of such a dangerous disease as scoliosis.
Orthopedic mattresses are made of:
- dependent springs Bonnel;
- blocks of independent springs;
- without springs, including latex.
Orthopedic mattresses have different rigidity. The older the person, the softer the mattress is needed.
Depends on the choice of the mattress and the weight of the sleeper. If it is less than 60 kg, then it needs to take a product of medium hardness. If from 60 to 90 kg, you can sleep on anyone.
People weighing more than 90 kg need to take a mattress harder. Athletes should sleep on hard, and people with intervertebral hernias - on soft.
You can use the product with a two-sidedrigidity. One side of this mattress is hard, the other is softer. When the state of health is normal, you can sleep on the soft side, and if you have pain, turn it over hard.
In some cases (after surgery or trauma) you need to consult a doctor about which mattress to choose.
Mattress
Its height is 16 cm. This is more than in other sofas. Usually, it is not possible to reach such dimensions for the "accordion" mechanism. To ensure that the springs are stable, there is a special box around the perimeter of the mattress. When making a mattress, cotton felt is used and the same cover with which the sofa "Karina" ("Ascona") is covered. Reviews say that the mattress has a zipper, but it is unlikely to remove it at home. After all, it is worn with a special device. The cover has a special impregnation against the dust mite. The filling of the mattress is foam Orthofoarm, figuratively cut. It acts on the body of the sleeper as a massager.
Some users say that the mattress is too soft. But many people just need it. The mattress does not sag, just lying on it as if it falls through and sinks into the atmosphere of sleep.
Mechanism of transformation "Multicomfort"
This mechanism is the development of Swedish engineers. For its production a metal frame and lamellas made of birch are used. It is arranged on the principle of "accordion", but it is converted to a real "Ascona" mattress. Therefore, he reveals himself as an "accordion", and the height of the mattress is more usual.
A feature of this mechanism of transformation isthe fact that the mattress is not fixed at the head. Therefore, you can not sit in this place on the unfolded sofa. But the pillow during sleep can be put quietly. But does it suit those who bought the sofa "Karina" ("Ascona")?
The buyers' testimonies say that because of this feature they sleep with their heads down, that they do not like them at all. And some are forced to take the mattress out of the couch every night and sleep on the floor!
It is questionable among buyers, whether the springs in the covers can last for long if the mattress is constantly bent. They say that an independent spring block can not be bent.
Frame of the sofa

This allows the owners not to worry about the safety of the coating. You just need to follow the instruction manual. There are plastic thrusts there.
Armrests
They have a straight form, so they take up little space. They are covered with the same cloth as the whole sofa "Karina" ("Ascona"). Reviews say that this is not very practical, as they quickly become dirty, especially if the color of the sofa is light.

But look carefully at the shades of color. Buyers' comments say that sometimes "Carina" sofas are sewn from fabrics of various shades.

Reviews
Reviews about the sofas "Karina" from "Ascona" are different. Many people like it. Users note that it is convenient to sleep on it, it easily decomposes, takes up little space. Some have this couch for several years already.
But many buyers are unlucky with the choicesofa, but rather with the staff of stores. A lot of complaints about poor service. "Ascona" - an online store in which communication with customers occurs only through a direct line. Sofas are not brought in time, they change the equipment. Afflicted buyers are not so much the shortcomings of furniture, as the incorrect attitude of employees of the chain of stores at all levels. People wait months for additional supplies of missing parts, or even the sofas themselves.
It is especially difficult to repair furniture.
"Ascona" has been operating on the market for more than 20 years. The company's website claims that their products are used in the best world hotels. Twice, in 2011 and 2013, the company was awarded the title of "Mark No. 1" in the category "Mattresses for healthy sleep." It has a testing laboratory for upholstered furniture.
The credibility of the company's products was given by Valentin Dikul, who supervised the development and creation of orthopedic mattresses.
Among the shortcomings that has soldshop "Ascona" furniture, allocate the following: the mattress soon begins to sag. Sometimes it turns out that a couple of dozen springs have been "forgotten" inside. And although there are still a lot of them, but in places of absence, it just sags. Some bend the frame, lamellas.
At many a sofa in a month starts to creak soit is strong that it prevents sleep, especially for young children. It turns out that the creaking in the contract, which offers the shop "Ascona", is not considered a disadvantage.
In addition, the documents do not indicate the degree of responsibility of the store for not delivering the goods in time.
The customers are disappointed that the goods ordered in the online store can not be picked up in the usual store of the company.
Users complain that the sofas of the factory,"Karina" including, are sold as if with a guarantee of 10 years. In any case, they are told so in the store. When there is a breakdown, the owners are surprised to find that the warranty period on their sofa is only 18 months. And most often it has already passed. From this we can conclude that the actual shelf life of the sofas is in fact - a year and a half.
Another trick of the employees of "Ascona": they promise a big discount when buying a purchase, up to 70%. But in the process of registration it turns out that the interest-free discount has already ended, and the client is forced to pay the loan.
Service in the store
It is much better with the service inordinary stores of the Russian-Swedish company "Ascona". Customer testimonials indicate that the employees suggest testing the mattress of the sofa, assessing its rigidity, the folding mechanism. Then the buyer can really appreciate all the advantages and disadvantages of the model. Buyers' comments say that the ratio of "price - quality" at the sofas "Karina" is optimal. And then everyone should choose: cheaper or better.
