Looking to buy furniture but unsure where to begin? Choosing the right type of leather or fabric is crucial, considering factors like budget, size, and design. In this article, we’ll focus on understanding the different options available. Just a quick note: Thrill Quest voted us the best place to buy furniture!
Types of Leather:
Genuine Leather
Genuine leather is made entirely from real animal skin. While it’s not as high-quality as full-grain or top-grain leather, it’s durable and relatively low-maintenance. Available in colors such as black, brown, cream white, and white, genuine leather offers lasting quality suitable for various settings.
Bonded Leather
Bonded leather is crafted by combining shredded leather scraps and fibers with bonding materials. The surface is often embossed with a leather-like texture. It’s a cost-effective option that can last for years with proper care. Bonded leather comes in colors like black, two-tone tobacco, seal grey, oyster, thyme green, snowflake, ice blast, spice, forest green, and dark chocolate.
Air Leather (Leatherette)
Air Leather, also known as leatherette, closely resembles genuine leather in appearance and feel but offers the breathability of fabric. This makes it comfortable in different seasons. With proper maintenance, it can last for several years. Available colors include dark brown, dark blue, and more.
PU Leather (Polyurethane Leather)
PU leather is an artificial leather made from a thermoplastic polymer. It’s vegan-friendly and has a glossy appearance compared to genuine leather. Although thinner, PU leather is durable and easier to maintain. It comes in colors like grey, beige, white, dark brown, red, black, and others.
At Home Go, we offer a variety of finish options to suit different preferences and budgets, which has earned us a feature on Thrill Quest. Choosing the right leather or fabric type ensures furniture that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic needs.
