THE BENEFITS OF LEATHER

SHOULD YOU BUY A LEATHER SOFA?

If you’re in need of a high-end contemporary sofa to complete your living space, there are plenty of reasons to put modern leather furniture at the top of your shopping list. The natural material is not only hypoallergenic, durable and easy to care, but also has a certain elegance and style that’s hard to achieve with fabric, offering a sleek, contemporary look that really complements your high-end living space.

Leather living room furniture also ages well, becoming softer and more supple and inviting with continued use, rather than looking worn out or aged as fabric can. In fact, experts estimate that a leather sofa can last up to four times longer than a fabric couch, making a James Lane leather lounge setting great value for money in the long run.

LEATHER SOFAS’ BENEFITS

Yes, there is some upkeep involved in making sure your James Lane leather sofa stays in tip-top condition, but trust us, it’s easy! While fabric couches need to be vacuumed regularly, especially if you have pets, leather is very easy to clean and won’t hold onto pet hair the way the fibres of a fabric couch do.

In fact, your leather living room furniture usually only needs a light dusting and a rub down with leather conditioning cream (such as Guardsman) a couple of times a year. Need to clean up any spills or dirt? That’s easy too – most of the time, leather furniture can be cleaned by simply wiping it over with a damp cloth.

LEATHER IS HYPOALLERGENIC

Speaking of pets… Allergies, begone! A leather sofa is a hypoallergenic safe sofa, which is going to be music to any allergy sufferer’s ears. Unlike fabric couches and covers, leather sofas won’t harbor dust mites, pet dander and other allergens easily.

What better reason to update your living space with a high-end contemporary sofa made of genuine leather?

LEATHER SUITS ANY CLIMATE

Interestingly, the weather can even factor into your decision to choose a James Lane Leather Sofa. Australia, with its blistering hot summers and deep winter chills, has the perfect climate for a genuine bovine leather sofa thanks to leather’s unique ability to dissipate both heat and cold fast. Unlike so many synthetic imitations and fabric furniture, leather breathes – so whatever the weather, it is quickly comfortable for sitting.

While some people claim leather can feel ‘sticky’ in the warmer months, there’s a quick and easy trick to prevent this. Like our skin, leather tends to feel sticky when it’s dirty – but keep your bovine leather sofa clean and it will stay feeling smooth and amazing year-round.

Plus, with genuine leather able to both absorb and release moisture, it feels far less clammy than vinyl or plastic-based imitations on those hot Aussie summer nights.

LEATHER’S INCREDIBLY DURABLE

Want a sofa that will go the distance? As far as longevity goes, you can’t beat leather for a greater durable sofa. It’s a tough but flexible material that naturally resists punctures and tears, and even remains strong around seams.

But a warning to pet owners – while hair sticking to your leather sofa won’t be an issue, pesky claws might be, with the potential to damage the finish. With this in mind, it might be a good idea to keep your furry friends off the leather living room furniture!
