Leather couch is a good investment and lets the world know that you put a premium on excellence and taste. 3 Even though leather couch brings your home a rich look and feel, you don’t have to be rich to enjoy leather couch. Because leather wears in and fabric wears out, you’ll find that leather lasts much longer than fabric and can be a better value. 4

Some types of leather for couch are 5:

Full aniline leather

· This type is the finest leather available. This type is made from premium quality, full top-grain hides (the surface of a full-grain hide has not been mechanically altered).

· This type is also the softest, most luxurious and natural-looking leather.

· It is less stain and fade resistant, will feature noticeable range marks, wrinkle, barbed wire scars, scratches and brands.

· Aniline leather has been soaked in aniline dye with no other finishes or dyes applied. Unretouched, resulting in subtle color and shading differences from hide to hide-and even within a hide.

· Generally more expensive than other types of leather.

Semi aniline leather

· This type is a little more stain resistant but remains just as soft.

· Has a little coating or pigment to protect against fading and stains.

· High quality, high value leather, always top-grain

· Soft and beautiful, durable and practical

· Slightly more uniform in color and texture than full aniline

· Fewer noticeable range marks

· Generally less expensive than full aniline leather

Nubuck leather

· High quality, full top-grain leather buffed or sanded to a velvety, suede-like nap

· More likely to fade and stain, will feature noticeable range marks, barbed wire scars, wrinkle, scratches and brands.

Prices for leather couch can vary drastically. One retailer may sell a couch for $2500 whereas another with a couch that looks almost the same sells for $800. Probably the cost difference has to do with the kinds of leather hides used for the sofa. 6 First and foremost you must fight the temptation to buy a leather couch because it is incredibly cheap. You believe it is great value for your money. Really cheap couch with leather upholstery are usually made from off cuts and scraps of very low quality leather that have been pieced together just to cover the chair. 7
