Leather sofas come in several types of leather

Cowhide, pigskin, horse skin, and donkey skin can all be used as raw materials for sofas.

Among them, the leather of cowhide is soft, thick, and of the best quality, and it is generally made of buffalo leather. The surface of horse skin and donkey skin is green and loose, which is easy to peel off after a long time and is not durable.

Leather fabrics can also be divided into four types: full green leather, semi-green leather, embossed leather, and cracked leather, the first two are of good quality, but the price is high; The latter two are relatively inexpensive and are used by the average household.

Leather sofas are generally made of cowhide, horse skin, etc., that is, made of animal leather, with natural pores, skin lines, very soft feel, and elasticity, so leather sofas are very popular with people, but the price of leather sofas is also relatively expensive. It can also be divided into several types, which can be divided into artificial leather, half leather, and full leather, which can be classified among the varieties of this sofa.

Creating a high-quality living environment for ourselves must be what we want to do. When it comes to furniture shopping, we definitely want to choose a good product to enhance the comfort of the room. So, which is better, fabric sofa or leather sofa?

Its soft fabric looks more fresh and natural, creating a warm, harmonious and sunny atmosphere, which is suitable for simple, transparent and bright living rooms.

The leather sofa is more calm and solemn, luxurious, elegant and generous, and the high-end texture of the fabric and the wide shape design give people a sense of generosity and luxury, highlighting the aristocratic temperament of the living space. However, leather sofas are not able to make rich and varied patterns, and the colors are limited, so there are fewer styles to choose from. It is suitable for a large living space, so as to reflect the generosity and luxury of the leather sofa.

2. Workmanship. The material of the leather sofa is cowhide, and the requirements for the production process are relatively high. It has the advantages of strong air permeability, good environmental protection and high value, which can ensure its durability. The production process of fabric sofa is simpler than that of leather sofa, so there are more types of products.

The above has summarized the characteristics of fabric sofa and leather sofa in four aspects, and now you understand the question of "which is better, fabric sofa or leather sofa"? Remember, the right one is the best!

Leather sofa is actually a general name, there are leather and imitation leather, leather is made of natural leather, mainly cowhide and pigskin; Imitation leather is artificial. There is a big difference in performance and price between the two. Liu Jinyan, director of network marketing of Shunlian Furniture City, said that the leather sofas on the market generally use two kinds of leather at the same time

Normal use can touch the position, the use of leather for leather, non-contact part is imitation leather, there are also a lot of inferior leather. Liu Jinyan said that some well-known brands of leather sofas, such as Mingjiangxuan, Fashion Square, Gies, etc., generally cost more than 10,000 yuan, and it is difficult to buy good leather sofas below 5,000 yuan. It is not excluded that some merchants dispose of model furniture at a low price, or sell it at a loss because of too much inventory.

There is no need to pursue leather too much when buying a sofa, there are too many leather grades on the market, which are unrecognizable to ordinary consumers. At present, the higher grade of artificial leather on the market, such as microfiber leather has the advantages of easy care, strong wear resistance, breathability, anti-aging, etc., the quality is better than the low-grade leather, and the price is relatively low, if the budget for buying the sofa is within the range of 2,000 to 4,000, it is recommended to buy microfiber leather, like the leather sofa purchased by Miss Chen, the quality may not be as good as the artificial leather sofa at the same price. Therefore, when buying a leather sofa, be sure to ask the merchant what kind of leather is used.

Consumer tips: How to identify the quality of leather sofas? The lifespan of an ordinary sofa is about three or four years, and a good leather sofa can be deformed for seven or eight years. Wooden frames and fillings are very important, but generally the internal structure cannot be disassembled and selected when buying, only the leather can be seen, and the leather is related to the comfort and durability when used.

Look at the pores: the pores of cowhide are more detailed, and the pores of pigskin are coarse. The leatherette surface is very uniform and has no obvious pores, while the leather will have irregularities.

Look at the back: The back of genuine leather will have very irregular fibers and fluff, etc., while artificial leather does not. Smell the smell:

The smell of genuine leather will give off some animal odors, while the smell of artificial leather can be somewhat pungent and have the smell of chemicals. Look at the feel: the leather feels soft and comfortable, full of elasticity, and the artificial leather feels rough and not breathable.

Leather sofas have always been a symbol of expensive, high-end goods, especially leather sofas, which are worth a lot of money. The leather sofa is more durable than the average fabric sofa and is easy to care for, mainly because of the material of the leather on her surface. Modern leather sofas have developed a wide variety of leathers, not just leather.

There are many kinds of leather, according to the type, it can be divided into: genuine leather, microfiber leather, environmental protection leather, west leather, imitation leather.

Imitation leather is actually PVC plastic, but the surface is made into a leather grain! The quality of imitation leather is determined by the thickness, and the national standard stipulates: thick.

The general imitation leather is thick, there is a thick ,,,, the thicker the imitation skin, the better! The color of imitation leather is very important, it must be the same color or close to the leather, if the difference is relatively large, it will seriously affect the quality of furniture! The imitation leather has the smell of the water of the sky.

*West leather is a kind of artificial leather, mainly made of PVC, thicker or thicker. *Eco-friendly leather is a new type of artificial leather, which feels very soft and has a similar texture to genuine leather. * Microfiber leather is the best artificial leather, the skin texture is very similar to the leather, the feel is a little hard, it is difficult for outsiders to distinguish whether it is genuine leather or regenerated leather.

Microfiber leather, the full name of microfiber artificial sofa leather, also known as regenerated leather, belongs to a kind of newly developed high-grade leather in synthetic leather, not genuine leather. Because of its advantages such as abrasion resistance, cold resistance, breathability, aging resistance, soft texture and beautiful appearance, it has become an ideal alternative to natural leather. Natural dermis is made up of many collagen fibers of varying thickness, which are divided into two layers, the granular layer is woven from very fine collagen fibers, and the network is woven from coarser collagen fibers.

The surface layer of microfiber skin is composed of a polyurethane layer similar to the structure of the natural dermal surface layer, and the subbase layer is made of microfiber non-woven fabric, which is very similar to the mesh layer of natural leather, so the structure of microfiber skin and natural leather have extremely similar structure and performance.

Cowhide: smooth and delicate, clear texture, soft color, uniform thickness and thickness, large skin, suitable for sofa fabrics; Cowhide, cattle leather and buffalo leather are called cow leather, but there are certain differences between the two, the pores on the surface of the cow leather are round, more straight into the leather, the pores are tight and even, arranged irregularly, as if the sky is full of stars, the pores on the surface of the buffalo leather are larger than the cow leather, the number of pores is rarer than the cow leather, the leather is looser, not as fine and plump as the cattle leather.

Pigskin: The leather is rough, the gloss is poor, not suitable for sofas, the pores on the surface of the pigskin are round and coarse, and they are obliquely stretched into the leather. The pores are arranged in groups of three, and the leather surface presents many small triangular patterns.

Sheepskin: The skin is smaller, the leather surface is finer, the texture is regular, the feel is flexible, the pores of the sheepskin grain are flat and round, the pores are clear, several are formed into a group, and the arrangement is fish scales.

Horse skin: The pores on the surface of the leather are oval, slightly larger than the pores of the cow leather, and the arrangement is more regular.
