The MESSINA RELAX embodies the meeting of contemporary elegance and everyday practicality. Designed for interiors that refuse to compromise between aesthetics and functionality, the MESSINA RELAX is one of Kings Canapé's flagship collections: 6 models in several dimensions and configurations to suit every room, from the compact studio to the large family living room. This page guides you through the full range, its features, its strengths, and helps you choose the MESSINA RELAX that truly matches your living room.
Messina Relax Kings Canapé: a complete and modular collection
The Messina Relax collection was designed to meet a simple yet demanding requirement: to offer a contemporary, comfortable and durable sofa, available in multiple configurations. Every MESSINA RELAX model follows this logic: the same guiding principles (refined elegance, generous seating, choice of coverings), but adapted to different uses and spaces.
With 6 references, the MESSINA RELAX range spans 288-360 cm in width depending on the version, covering a very wide spectrum of rooms. The common thread: a contemporary aesthetic, carefully selected materials, and a build that prioritises durability over time.
Available configurations in the Messina Relax range
The MESSINA RELAX collection comes in several configurations to suit every room and every use. Here's what you'll find at Kings Canapé.
- 5 panoramic sofas: in U or extended L shapes, they structure a large living room and seat 5 to 7 people. Ideal for large families or open-plan spaces.
- 1 corner sofa: with left or right chaise (or reversible depending on the model), they define a comfortable TV corner and offer a prime spot to stretch out.
- 0 straight sofa: for long, narrow rooms or for pairing with an armchair.
- 6 relax versions: with integrated electric recliner, reclining backrest and footrest for absolute relaxation.
- Convertible: most MESSINA RELAX models are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism chosen.
Technical highlights of the Messina Relax collection
Beyond its configuration diversity, the MESSINA RELAX stands out through a series of technical features that make it a safe bet in the Kings Canapé catalogue.
Structure and seating
All MESSINA RELAX models share the same manufacturing fundamentals: solid wood or high-density panel frame, high-resilience polyether foam (HR 35-40 kg/m³) for the seat, and interwoven elastic webbing for support. The result: a sofa that holds its comfort beyond 7 years of daily use.
Upholstery and customisation
The MESSINA RELAX collection is offered in a wide choice of coverings: microfibre fabric, velvet, bouclé, leather, faux leather. This variety lets you adapt the Messina Relax to every decorating style, from refined Scandinavian to warm bohemian, through understated contemporary.
Mechanisms and comfort
Depending on the version chosen, the MESSINA RELAX includes: convertible with metal slat or grid bed, 1- or 2-motor electric relax, storage chest in the chaise, adjustable armrests or adjustable headrest. Each option meets a specific use, and Kings Canapé is here to help you identify the most relevant combination.
Which Messina Relax for your room?
Choosing a MESSINA RELAX model depends first and foremost on your room and your lifestyle. Here are the key questions to ask yourself.
What room size?
For a living room under 18 m², opt for compact models (L288 cm) that fit into tight spaces without crowding the room. For a standard 20 to 30 m² living room, most MESSINA RELAX models (around L250 cm) find their place. For a large living room over 35 m², the panoramic versions (up to L360 cm) will structure the space with authority.
What's the main use?
Daily TV and relaxation use: all MESSINA RELAX versions are suitable—choose according to size. Family use with frequent occasional sleeping: the convertible versions with HR 14 cm or 18 cm mattresses are ideal. Entertaining use: U-shaped panoramic sofas seat 6 to 8 people and structure a conversation area. Home cinema use: versions with deep seating and dark colours are recommended.
What decorating style?
The MESSINA RELAX fits into every interior thanks to the variety of its coverings. For a Scandinavian style, choose a light grey or beige fabric and a microfibre fabric. For a Turkish or oriental style, go for deep velvet. For a fully modern look, leather or matte black faux leather brings the desired character.
What's the difference between the Messina Relax models I, II, III, IV...?
You'll notice that MESSINA RELAX references are numbered in Roman numerals (I, II, III, IV...). This numbering corresponds to distinct configurations and dimensions within the same collection. The usual logic is as follows.
Messina Relax I: entry-level format, usually the most compact (often a 3-seater convertible corner sofa). It's the reference model for discovering the collection.
Messina Relax II: a slightly larger version (often 4-seater), sometimes with an additional option (storage chest, adjustable armrest).
Messina Relax III, IV, V: intermediate formats, progressively larger and with more features.
Messina Relax VI to XII: high-end versions, panoramic, or with advanced options (relax, sliding seat, integrated USB ports).
Messina Relax Relax: a specific version with 1- or 2-motor electric relax mechanism.
Caring for your Messina Relax sofa
A well-maintained MESSINA RELAX sofa keeps its comfort and appearance for 10 years and beyond. Here are the essential steps.
Vacuum weekly with a soft brush attachment, with and against the nap for velvet. Treat any stain immediately with a damp cloth—do not rub; dab to absorb. Flip the seat cushions every 3 months to distribute wear. For stain-treated fabrics, a wipe with a damp sponge usually suffices.
For electric relax versions, check the mechanism and cables once a year. For convertible versions, unfold the bed every 2 months to air out the mechanism.
Frequently asked questions about the Messina Relax collection
How much does a Messina Relax sofa cost?
Prices in the MESSINA RELAX collection vary according to the size, configuration and covering chosen. Compact models start around €1,500 for a 3-seater convertible corner sofa, and panoramic versions can reach €4,500 and more for XXL configurations with relax and storage options. Each product on this page shows its exact price; you can filter by budget in the sidebar.
What size Messina Relax for my living room?
First, identify the surface area of your living room. For under 18 m², choose a compact MESSINA RELAX (L288-{int(DIM_MIN*1.3)} cm). For 20 to 30 m², a medium format (L{int(DIM_MIN*1.4)}-{int(DIM_MAX*0.7)} cm) works well. For over 35 m², you can consider the panoramic versions (L360 cm). Also think about circulation: leave at least 90 cm between the sofa and other furniture.
Is the Messina Relax convertible?
Most MESSINA RELAX references are convertible, with occasional or daily sleeping depending on the mechanism. The standard sleeping area is 140x190 cm for 3-4 seater versions, and 160x200 cm for panoramic versions. For daily sleeping use, opt for an HR 14 cm or 18 cm mechanism mattress.
Which covering should I choose for a Messina Relax?
Microfibre fabric remains the most versatile choice: soft feel, stain-resistant, easy care. Velvet brings a chic and warm touch, but requires more care. Bouclé is ideal for a cocooning ambience. Leather or faux leather signs off a stylish, durable interior. For families with children or pets, stain-resistant treatment is a real plus.
Is the Messina Relax available with electric relax?
Yes, the MESSINA RELAX Relax version offers an integrated electric relax mechanism, usually with 1 or 2 motors (reclining backrest, deployable footrest). The price is higher than the standard version, but the comfort is incomparable for relaxation enthusiasts. The dedicated collection for relax versions offers 6 references in this category.
Conclusion: why choose a Messina Relax sofa?
