Comfort

Leather couches with a comfortable design can improve the look and feel of your home. They also can help create a an environment that is comfortable where you can relax and enjoy the company of friends or family members. You can pick from a wide selection of leather sofas that will fit your style and preferences. The kind of cushioning, the frame construction and the material used for seating will determine the level of comfort a sofa offers.

You can test the comfort of a couch by sitting on it and noting how stable you feel. Replace the cushions on your seat if they seem to sink and lose their shape. Verify the quality of the springs that are in the platform. The more springs there are and the closer they are spaced the more comfortable it will be. You can do this by lifting the corner of the seat, and then running your hands along the frame. A top-quality sinuous or coil spring couch should have at least five serpentine springs for each seat cushion, whereas an expensive model could include up to nine.

The most important aspect in determining how comfortable your leather sofa will be is the kind of leather you choose. Top grain leather may be the most affordable and popular, but it does not last as long as other types of leather. Full grain leather has a natural, natural look that gets better with age and wear thus it is the most durable leather. It also has a better airflow, which means it stays fresher than other leather choices.

Other types of leather include bonded and semi-aniline leather. Bonded leather is less expensive than top grain, but it won't last as long as the full-grain. Semi-aniline leather is soft and supple with a subtle shine however, it is not breathable.

Another option for comfort is fabric. Fabric sofas are generally softer than leather and come already "broken in." However, the type of fabric used and the quality of workmanship will determine how long the couch will last.

Durability

Many buyers are searching for furniture that will last through the wear and tear of everyday life. Leather-upholstered couches are more durable than fabric and can last for a long time, as long as you maintain regular care. You can clean leather with a damp, clean cloth and some cleaning liquid.


If you have pets, children or are at risk of spilling food or drinks onto the sofa, it's best to select the highest quality leather available. Although you might pay more than the cheaper alternatives, real leather is more durable and will appear even better as time passes. Full-grain leather is also resistant to moisture due to its tight grain.

Other upholstery materials such as microfiber, fabric, and traditional (faux) leather aren't as long-lasting. Faux leather can be popular since it is typically less expensive and has a similar appearance to leather. However, it could crack over time. Microfiber is a less durable substance that stains easily and is difficult to clean.

The best way to judge the durability of a leather sofa is to look at the structure. Avoid couches made of bonded leather, or fake leather. It's a mix of scrap pieces and adhesive that has been coated to look like genuine leather. Look for a tag that says "genuine leather" to be sure you're getting real leather, and choose frames with eight-way hand-tied springs, or at a minimum sinuous springs to ensure the longest lasting lifespan.

If you are concerned about the impact on the environment, opt for leather that isn't chrome-tanned. This type of leather is a more natural look and is easier to maintain.

Style

If you're decorating with a rustic, modern or traditional styles, a leather sofa can provide a stylish final touch to your space. Modern techniques for tanning used to make leather are resistant to cracking and sagging. The natural material also appears stunning over time, and develops an appealing look and feel that adds character to the space. Plus, it's naturally non-allergenic and doesn't hold dust mites or pet pollen.

Leather breathes, which means it is able to adapt to the temperature of the room. This is especially helpful for those with allergies or sensitive skin. When you are choosing a sofa made of leather, consider the design and color of your décor, as well as how you'll use the piece. If you plan to make your sofa a focal point in the family or living room choose a neutral or neutral-colored piece to ensure that it will match any future room renovations.

The best way to protect your investment in a leather couch is to shield it from direct sunlight, which fades the leather. If you need to put your leather sofa near a window, try placing it on the other side of the room. You can also put it under a large shade or a blind that is large to protect it from the sunlight.

Another way to preserve the life span of your leather sofa is to protect it from heat. Make sure it is at least three feet away from an open flame, and try not to place it directly on top of an gas or electric heater, which can cause the leather to shrink or melt.

Convenience

As the name implies that this kind of leather is a top choice for those looking for the finest quality. The unprocessed, tight grain of the leather protects it from scratches and spills, and lets it develop an elegant patina as gets older. The leather is also very soft and flexible.

Leather that is full-grain, however, is more expensive. This is because it takes more hides to cover a large space of a sectional or sofa, which makes it more expensive.
