Why choose a sofa with an extendable or sliding seat?

Modern, high-tech sofas allow you to extend or slide the seat to increase your comfort experience whenever you need it and make it possible to combine the need for more space, comfort and sophisticated design.

Sofas with extendable or sliding seats – technology at the service of comfort

Choosing a sofa requires careful consideration, especially because your comfort experience for years to come depends on this decision. If a sofa is much more than a simple furnishing accessory for you and is in fact your favourite place to rest, spend time with your family, enjoy your passions and have moments of relaxation, we advise you to opt for a model with an extendable or sliding seat. These technological and high quality sofas, which can often be transformed into actual day-beds, are ideal for experiencing maximum comfort whenever you desire and their uses do not end there.

The advantages of a sofa with an extendable or sliding seat

What are the advantages of having a sofa with an extendable or sliding seat? Here’s a summary of 5 of the main points to consider:

• Space-saving. A sofa with an extendable or sliding seat is a great solution if you need to optimise your space, but don’t want to give up on a nice, comfortable sofa.

For example, by choosing a model like ‘Romeo Relax’ by Calia Italia, you can use the electric recliner function with electrically liftable headrests (operated by touch control) when you want to comfortably sit on the sofa to watch TV, read a book or rest. At all other times, you can simply switch it off and reduce the size of the sofa in your living room. It’s great for those who like to take a nap or for those last-minute overnight guests. This type of sofa is perfect for those wanting to take a rest or be prepared to receive last minute guests for the night – without having to resort to a sofa bed.

• Calia Italia’s ‘Quint’Essènza’ model is the ideal sofa for this purpose. By activating the double mechanism of the backrest and sliding seat, it can increase its size by 38 centimetres and be transformed into an actual day bed.

• It is ideal for spending evenings with friends. Sofas with extendable or sliding seats are perfect for providing comfort for more than one person. Would you like to avoid fighting with your partner over the chaise-longe?

The ‘Nicolas’ model by Calia Italia not only extends the seat up to 40cm,but in the extra-large version it also has a recliner version that can comfortably accommodate two people.

• It allows you to change the look of your living room. If you like to change your furniture often, having a sofa with extendable or sliding seats could be for you. Depending on your current mood and taste, you can keep it with wider seats or alternatively keep it in the smaller version.

• It guarantees an unprecedented comfort experience. When all is said and done, having a sofa that offers the possibility to extend the seat guarantees maximum comfort at all times of the day.

Take the ‘Toby Wing’ model by Calia Italia for example. This model is a true island for resting, dreaming and taking a well-deserved break and the back and armrests can be moved like real wings, extending the depth of the seat by 42 centimetres and the width by 25 centimetres, transforming the sofa into an actual day-bed.
