Looking for a new sofa — a leather sofa? Look no further than Grand Home Furnishings. The question you must first ask yourself, however, is simple but important: what kind of leather am I looking to purchase?
This can depend on numerous factors. For starters, do you have pets? If you want leather, that answer alone will make a world of difference.
Did you know that real leather doesn’t easily scratch? People assume that leather is a poor option when you have furry friends running about with sharp claws that can scratch the material, but that isn’t always the case. Genuine leather is nearly as durable as it is beautiful, and oftentimes, that’s the very thing you’re paying a premium for — longevity. That said, still make sure kitty has a scratching post handy so the new furniture doesn't become one! There are other leather (or leather-like) options available for you if you don’t want to break the bank, like leather match and faux leather.
Genuine Leather, Leather Match, and Faux Leather: What’s the Difference?
Grand Home Furnishings offers a range of leather options to help make your home’s living space pop. While genuine leather is always the best option when you can afford it, other options do exist. And there are very big differences between the three options especially in how long they can hold up.
Leather Match is a piece of leather upholstery that combines real and synthetic leather. Real leather is used on all the areas that come into contact with a person’s body, while the synthetic material covers the other areas (the sides, the back, inside the sofa, etc.). This is a great option for people who want to experience the real feel of leather — and for those who own pets — without breaking the bank to make it happen.
Faux or vinyl leather is another option. Something to keep in mind with real leather or leather match is that for it to stay nice, you need to care for it. With faux leather, that isn’t always a requirement. While this type of material definitely won’t hold up as well as the real stuff, it takes less work to maintain, so it could be a nice solution for people managing busy lifestyles (or as an item in rooms where the sofas aren’t often used).
