Guidelines for Buying Leather
Furniture
The best decision is an informed decision. If you understand what to
look for, it makes your decision much easier. Few tips are dedicated to
helping you make an informed decision on your leather furniture that
best fits what your lifestyle demands.
- Select only 100% top grain leather furniture. Durable, supple and
water repellent because of its natural oils, top grain leather gets
more beautiful with age.
- Frame Construction
- Spring Materials: Quality construction demands tempered steel
springs or springs that are 8-way hand tied for a lifetime of
sag-free comfort and appearance. Watch for elastic webbing or other
"rubber band" springs that can stretch or break over time.
- Padding Material: Check for full foam padding throughout.
- Style and Color Choices
- Purchasing high-quality leather furniture is a good investment
because it is 3-5 times more durable than fabric upholstery. Choose
leather furniture that has removable seats to replace seat cores and
that will retain that great comfort for years to come.
Reason for Popularity of Leather
Furniture
Leather is the strongest upholstered materials known. The strong
physical structure of leather has been created by weaving an intricate
network of leather fibers. This strength allows the manufacturer to pull
leather down tightly without fear of tearing. Leather, because of its
special properties, will not readily burn or melt, and unlike most
fabrics and vinyl, it is extremely difficult to puncture. Leather
furniture are not only durable and long-lasting, they are also easy to
clean and timelessly elegant.
