Comfort

Leather couches with a comfortable design can improve the appearance and feel of your home. They can also create a tranquil space where you can relax and enjoy the company of family or friends. There are a variety of leather sofas and you can pick one that will fit your style and preferences. The type of padding, the frame construction, and the material used for seating determine the comfort of a sofa.

You can test the comfort of a couch by sitting on it and noting how secure you feel. Replace the seat cushions when they appear to lose their shape. Check the quality of springs in the platform. A higher number and a closer together of springs will provide the most comfortable seating experience. It is as easy as lifting the part of the seat and then running your hands along the frame. A good sinuous or coil spring couch should have at minimum five serpentine springs per 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 select. Top grain leather might be the most affordable and popular, but it does not last as long as some other kinds of leather. Full-grain leather has a natural appearance which looks better as it ages and wears out, so it is the most durable option. It also breathes more and is much more fresh than other types of leather.

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

Another option for comfort is fabric. Fabric sofas are soft and more comfortable than leather since they are "broken in." The kind of fabric and quality will determine the longevity of the couch.

Durability

Many buyers are seeking furniture that will last through the wear and tear of everyday life. Leather-upholstered couches will last for decades when you take care to maintain them regularly. Clean leather with a damp cloth with a little cleaning liquid.

If you have children, pets or are prone to spilling food and drinks on your sofa, the ideal leather to choose is the best quality. Genuine leather can cost more than cheaper options but it's more durable and will look better as you get older. Full-grain leather is also resistant to moisture because of its tense grain.

Other upholstery materials like fabric traditional (faux) and microfiber aren't as durable. Faux leather can be a popular choice because it is usually cheaper and looks similar to leather. However, it is prone to crack with time. Microfiber is a different material that can easily show staining, and is more difficult to clean.

You can tell the durability of a leather sofa is by looking at its construction. Avoid any couches that use bonded leather or fake leather made of a mix of scrap pieces and glue that's bonded to look like genuine leather. Look for a label that says "genuine leather" to be sure you're buying genuine leather and choose an item with 8-way hand tied springs or at a minimum sinuous springs to ensure the longest lasting lifespan.

If you are concerned about the environment choose a leather that is not chrome-tanned. This type of real leather couch has a more natural look and is easier to maintain.

Style

If you're decorating with a modern, rustic or traditional decor the leather leatherette sofa will add an elegant final touch to your space. The modern tanning techniques used to create leather resist cracking and sagging. The natural material also looks gorgeous over time, acquiring a rich look and feel that creates a distinctive look and feel to the space. Plus, it's naturally hypoallergenic and does not harbor dust mites or pet dander.

Leather breathes, which means it is able to adapt to the temperature of the room. This is especially helpful for those with allergies or have sensitive skin. Take into consideration the color and design in your home, as well as the way you intend to use the leather sofa. If you plan to use your sofa as an accent piece in a family or den area choose a neutral or neutral-colored piece to ensure that it can be matched to any future home renovations.

Keep your leather couch away from direct sunlight. This can cause fading of the fabric. If you must place the sofa in front of an open window, you should consider placing it to the opposite side of the room, or use an enormous shade to protect it from the sun.

Protecting your leather sofa from heat is a different way to prolong its lifespan. Avoid placing it near an electric or gas heater or a fireplace. This can cause the leather fabric to melt or warp.

If you're thinking of buying a leather sofa, it's worth the extra expense to invest in an American-made option.

Convenience

As the name implies, this type of leather is the top choice for those looking for luxurious. The unprocessed, tight grain shields the leather from spills and scratches and permits it to develop an attractive patina as it develops. The leather is extremely flexible and soft.

Full-grain leather, however, is more expensive. This is because it requires more hides to cover large areas of a sofa or sectional and makes them less affordable because of their the nature of it.

The good news is that even the cheapest leather sofas and loveseats are still a lot more durable than fabrics that wear out quickly due to their fragile construction. Leather couches and loveseats are more comfortable and convenient than fabric counterparts.

A leather sofa or a loveseat with power reclining lets you relax as you read or watch TV. This is especially useful for people who are older or have limited mobility and have difficulty to sit upright in a traditional chair.

Other features that you may want to consider include a headrest with a power button or lumbar support that adjusts by pressing the button. These features are offered on many of our leather recliner sofas and loveseats to allow you to customize the seating to fit your needs.

Another aspect you may want to consider is whether your new leather sofa or loveseat has adjustable armrests. This will make it easier to get into and out of the seat.
