leather for sofa upholstery

Leather is the  favored choice for covering sofas. It looks pretty,  feels silky and stays  that way. Lots of people  appreciate leather  because it can more easily withstand everyday use than  some other materials.  But leather is not created equal. Some varieties are soft  and of good  quality; others may be stiff or wear  out quickly.  How  about when you’re  choosing leather for a sofa? When selecting leather by which to be horrified in the  future, consider how it will feel, how it  will look  after some wear and tear and also how easy  it is to  clean. At Wejoy, we understand how important it is to choose the perfect leather when making sofas that people love to lounge on –  and we leave no stone (or hide)  unturned. For those looking for high-quality upholstery materials, our Wejoy Home Textile Upholstery Fabric is an excellent choice.

How to Choose High-Quality Leather for Sofa Upholstery Wholesale Orders

When purchasing large quantities of leather for sofas, the quality matters a lot. The leather should be thick enough to wear well but still soft to the touch. Sure, some leathers are dyed all the way through, ensuring they’ll retain their color for longer. Others are only colored at the surface, and as a result they may  show scratches more  quickly. At Wejoy, we seek out leather that has natural marks,  such as little scars or wrinkles,  because they demonstrate the hide  is  real, not fake. But too many marks or large scratches could indicate the leather is weak. A second consideration is the tanning  process. Leather tanned with harsh chemicals may feel stiff or smell  bad. Take vegetable-tanned leather for example; it feels nicer, wears with  a good patina and therefore will look better as time goes on. And also  look at  the backing of the  leather. If it is too rough or has glue, the leather can  peel  and crack once it’s  on the sofa. And whenever you’re ordering in bulk, if  nothing  else, please get a sample first. Touch the leather, flex it and see how it holds up without cracking. A decent supplier  will let you do so before you buy a lot.  Wejoy are strictly tested our leather before  selling, so customers get only the best products.  But  leather that is sublimely supple yet strong enough to hold up will produce sofas that last for decades and stay beautiful.
