When it comes to picking out furniture for your living room, you’re looking for three things: comfort, style, and quality. Leather is a great choice for many reasons, but full grain Italian leather might just be your best choice. Here are some of the benefits of choosing full grain, Italian leather sectionals or sofas for your living room.
Full grain leather is 100% real leather and the most durable leather you can find. The fibers come from the utmost layer of the hide, which naturally withstands weathering and wear. There are many sofas on the market that are made with bonded or split grain leather. Bonded leather, which is made up of scraps bonded to polyurethane, typically consists of only 10-15% real leather. Split grain leather is leather that’s used after removing the top layer.
Bonded and split grain leather sofas consist of layers of different materials, both leather and non leather, usually made with synthetics or polyester. Manufacturers use a combination of materials to save money, but full grain leather is entirely real leather, not just where your body touches. While bonded and split grain leather sofas are less expensive, the material is rougher and less durable. The feel of full grain leather is smooth to the touch, giving you a luxury feeling every day. The quality of full grain leather furniture is unmatched, and it can last you decades.
Not only does full grain leather have an impressive longevity, it’s also a breathable leather that retains room temperature. Full grain leather has the ability to withstand hot or cold temperatures. Therefore you won’t get too hot or cold, making for a comfortable seating experience.
More benefits of full grain leather include that it repels stains and dirt, it’s hypoallergenic, and it’s easy to clean. Not to mention, what’s a more classy look than leather?
