3 Seat Leather Sofa in Master Red



When sourcing furniture, we frequently consider one question: Are leather sofas comfortable and durable enough?

As a professional leather sofa factory, we would like to give a clear answer: 

Yes, top grain quality leather sofas are always a comfortable and durable choice of furniture.

Leather furniture has a long history and it has become a hallmark of seating comfort and durability.

In contrast to fabric or other materials, although leather is an expensive choice for furniture upholstery.

However, it is always in demand and has always been favoured as an evergreen choice for seating.

Leather sofas and chairs are indispensable pieces of character in the home interior or in commercial environments.

 It fits perfectly in spaces such as restaurants, hotels, clubs, bars, cafes etc.

Let's discover more and explore.

Why are leather sofas comfortable?


Leather is a natural material made from the raw hide of animals.

Leather has a unique fibre that makes it dense and smooth, 

giving it an excellent feel and comfort.

The leather contains micro-pores, which make it a breathable material.

And the leather will become softer with age for greater visual appeal and comfort.

Of course, it is not only the leather that affects the comfort of a leather sofa, but also its design, 

as well as the padding, the internal frame, etc.

If a leather sofa factory uses poor quality bonded foam or low density foam for the padding of a leather sofa, 

there is no doubt that it will reduce production costs.

But after a period of time, it will collapse and lose its elasticity.

At Iconic Society Furniture, our sofas are filled with high-density foam with fluffy down.

The quality materials ensure that our leather sofas will last for a long time without collapsing and are comfortable to sit on.

As a leather furniture manufacturer, 

our team puts a lot of energy and effort into ensuring that each of our sofas meet our high standards of comfort.

Why leather sofas are durable?


As mentioned above, leather as a natural material, with the naturalness of the fiber, 

is made from animal hides through a series of physical and chemical methods of processing, rather than the later artificial synthesis.

Therefore, good quality leather is tough, has good wear resistance, is strong enough, and is tear-resistant.

The reason for the durability of leather sofas also is that they have better protection against stains.

Compared to fabric, leather's dense surface makes it less likely to pick up dust, which can only fall on the surface of leather furniture.

It is also resistant to liquid spills, so daily cleaning only requires a cloth or a light wipe with professional leather wipes.

The average life span of a quality leather sofa is about 10-20 years, or even longer, depending on the quality of the furniture purchased.


We have written a guide on ” how long a leather sofa can last?” 


If you want to give your interior space or provide your customers with something that will last for twenty years, 

then sourcing quality leather sofas and chairs from a professional leather sofa factory would be a wise choice.

Iconic Society puts together quality materials that can be used in any of our furniture, 

including our signature leather Chesterfield sofas, sectional sofas, dining chairs, and accent chairs


What is the most durable type of leather?--Top Grain Leather


The comfort of a leather sofa depends on the type of leather.

Among the many types of leather, top grain leather is an excellent choice for making leather sofas.

Top-grain leather is made by polishing the top layer of leather to remove the hard top-grain surface layer and then coloring it, 

which can give the leather a rich color and a highly durable protective coating.

So the top grain leather sofa has easy to clean and stain resistant, durable.

Top grain leather is the best choice for furniture use with its uniform and attractive natural appearance. 

Because it has better stain resistance and rich color patterns, and the price is more acceptable than full-grain leather.

At Iconic Society Furniture, about us each piece of top-grain leather furniture is

 created by hand by our artisans with a special warmth and soul that cannot be replicated.

How to determine if the leather is top grain leather?


Full-grain leather is usually not sanded during the tanning process. 

Therefore, to identify top-grain leather, just have a look at the surface of the leather and find the polishing marks.

If you find some polishing marks on the surface of the leather, 

but at the same time it keeps some of the natural marks of the hide, 

such as scars, spots, etc., it means that it is a natural top-grain leather, 

not bonded leather or fake leather, which is durable and beautiful, perfect for furniture upholstery.

How to make leather sofa more comfortable?


In addition to the comfort of the leather sofa itself, there are several ways to make an existing leather sofa more comfortable for daily use.

For example, adding some plush or thick fabric cushions can bring warmth and comfort to your leather sofa.

Also, you can add hand-knotted sofa back blankets or sofa pillows filled with softer fabrics for added comfort.

2. Materials that make up the sofa


This determines the quality of the leather sofa.

Leather sofa's durable premise is that it has high-quality leather as a finishing material, 

rather than fake leather or artificial leather, compared with genuine leather, 

fake leather / artificial leather is easy to age and wear short life.

At the same time, choose a hardwood solid wood frame and high-density foam padded sofa to ensure that

the leather sofa can remain stable for a long time and will not shake or collapse.


3. Size


Choose the right size of leather sofa. For different spaces and uses, the right size and type of sofa varies. 

For example, a low leather sofa that is closer to the floor and has a deeper seat is more relaxing and comfortable.


4. Color


Choose a suitable color. The leather sofa color should be able to form a match with other items in the space.

If you sit on your favorite leather sofa color, this will unknowingly enhance the comfort brought by a leather sofa.
