Opting for the purchase of a leather sofa is betting on elegance, design, durability and comfort when it comes to cleaning. But to guarantee all this we must take into account that there are many types of leather and that not all of them are of the same quality.
If you are thinking of buying a leather armchair, write down the following guidelines and don’t get caught up in the game.
Leather is a natural material that comes from animals that is used as a clothing material to create different quality products such as bags, wallets, footwear, sofas… On the other hand, synthetic leather is an artificial material, specifically plastic, derived from petroleum.
How can we tell real fur apart?
The appearance
This is perhaps one of the most reliable senses of reliability but at the same time we must be cautious and distrust the appearance.
“Real” skin has a greater number of pores, although more advanced technology already allows us to create more real imitations and we have to take into account other factors.
Touch
Genuine leather to the touch is soft and with a certain flexibility, it transmits warmth that can be felt. Synthetic materials, on the other hand, are stiffer and give off more coldness.
A test to check that it is not synthetic leather that we can perform is to gently rub it with the nail. If this exercise lifts particles, we are dealing with a quality product.
The smell
If the smell reminds you of plastic or chemicals, we will be in front of a product made of synthetic leather, real leather gives off a natural and somewhat moldy smell.
