Aniline Leather

Aniline is the most natural form of Leather which has a remarkably soft, supple feel and a beautifully refined appearance that retains all the natural and individual characteristics of the hide. Only the very best hides can be used to produce Aniline Leather as it receives no chemical treatment or pigmented finish.

Semi-Aniline Leather

Semi-Aniline is a luxurious and soft top grain Leather that combines the suppleness and classic feel of untreated hide while providing some stain protection through a light surface coating.

Like Aniline, semi-Aniline Leather is dyed in a dyebath to acheive an even colouration. This careful process means that only a thin finishing layer is required, enabling the Leather to retain its soft feel and natural characteristics.

Coated Leather

Coated Leather has a stunning high-gloss finish that is achieved from the application of a film of coloured polyurethane. This coating provides "the look" and also makes the Leather more resistant to everyday spills.

Leather

Our genuine Leather is perfect for the modern day home. This stunning, real Leather withstands the pressures of day to day living and is better at maintaining its beautiful appearance over time.

It's easy to see why this Leather is so popular; any blemished and imperfections have been removed and an even pattern embossed on to the surface to achieve a consistent look all over. A protective layer is used to coat the Leather, making it more durable and stain resistant, and helping to keep it looking great.

You have quite a choice when it comes to choosing what style or type of leather you would like when you buy a leather sofa.

To break it down very basically;

Real Leather
As it says on the tin, genuine leather.

Aniline Leather
This is a fantastic quality leather which is a far cry from some leather currently on the marker as it retains its color only from dyestuffs rather than from pigment and this makes it look more natural.

Faux Leather
Again as it says on the tin, but only a fake form of material made to look and feel as though it was real leather

Colour is really down to preference unless of course you have children, so it may be an idea to choose a darker leather, either brown or black. There are plenty of other colours which look extremely nice like reds, whites etc, however these dont look as natural and are definitely not very practical when it comes to children or dirt.

Hopefully we have helped you so far with things to consider when you buy a leather sofa so why not have a look at some of our fantastic leather sofas.
