What’s the difference between faux leather and real leather sofas?

Abstract

As a result, a lot of people who want that luxurious leather look opt for a faux leather couch instead. At first glance, a faux leather sofa can look almost as good as a real leather sofa. What exactly are the advantages and disadvantages of authentic and faux leather furniture? And can a fake leather couch ever look as good as the real thing? Longevity Longevity is always an important consideration when buying a new sofa. If you have a real leather sofa or a real leather sofa bed, you'll need to treat the upholstery every 6-12 months. If you invest in a faux leather sofa, you won't need to treat it with leather conditioner, but you will need to wash the surface every once and a while. Value If you're currently looking for a 3 or 2-seater leather sofa, you'll probably have already noticed that real leather furnishings cost more than faux leather alternatives. Looks Whether you choose a natural, pigmented, or tan leather sofa, there's no denying that genuine leather looks the part. Most people will know the difference between an authentic and faux leather sofa as soon as they touch it because real leather just has that natural feel.
