Leather Myths Debunked!

Here are 5 common leather furniture myths that you should rethink before deciding on a new living room furniture set: 

MYTH #1: Leather is cold. 

False! Leather absorbs the temperature of its environment. If the room is 72°, the leather furniture is 72° as well. Leather is a better thermal conductor than fabric which is why it feels cool to touch if touching leather that hasn't been recently sat on. This also means that leather will quickly absorb the temperature of your body, warming up faster than fabric after you sit on it.

MYTH #2: Leather is bad for homes with children.

False! Leather is a very durable material that naturally withstands the worst your kids can give it. Compared with many fabrics and synthetics, leather is actually a better choice for houses with kids of any age.

MYTH #3: Leather is uncomfortable.

False! Leather furniture is available in a wide variety of thicknesses and finishes, some of which are extremely comfortable and may pleasantly surprise you. The best way to find out is to sit in it! Find out for yourself if your body likes the feel of leather furniture.

MYTH #4: Leather stains easily.

False! Leather furniture blocks many spills from absorbing, much better than most other furniture materials. Many accidents are easily cleaned and even some set-in stains will come out. For even more leather spill protection, have your furniture treated to give it a special defense that will stand the test of time.
