There are few types of furniture in our homes that are as decorative as a leather sofa. Its ability to create an environment, to attract all eyes, is incredible and that gives it a very prominent relevance. If you dress your living room with a nice leather sofa, you will not need many more elements so that space has a special air.
And although this also happens with upholstered sofas in other types of fabrics, the variety of models, designs, colors, and qualities is very varied, so you will surely find the most suitable sofa for your home.
But, as you already know, a sofa should not only be beautiful. It also has to be comfortable and in that the universe of leather sofas include a huge number of designs, so it will not be difficult to find a model that you like and that, in addition, is very comfortable.
Your advantages, in detail
In our opinion, the biggest advantage of leather sofas is their easy cleaning and maintenance. Normally, simply pass a slightly moistened cloth to easily remove the accumulated daily dust and most of the stains. A couple of times a year we can protect the leather with a special cream and be able to be recommended by the same manufacturer of leather.
Another advantage is its greater durability. A leather sofa can last for many years “as new”, while a fabric sofa, although we can wash the covers or the upholstery is anti-stain, deteriorates and dirtier more quickly. Remember that for greater durability you have to treat the sofa with the right products and never set low-quality quality products or with what different people are telling us.
Finally, we must not forget something as important as design and presence. The leather gives an elegant finish and as such, transmits that nobility to the sofa and this one to the room it occupies.

The drawbacks, find out before deciding
Not all are advantages when it comes to having a leather sofa. There are certain disadvantages that it is necessary to value and take into account before buying it, so as not to regret later.
The first negative factor is the high price of this type of sofas, which are usually not affordable, since they can cost more than twice as much as a sofa upholstered in fabric. Also, in this sense, it is better not to skimp and choose a quality model even if you have to invest more money. In the long run, you will appreciate it.
Another negative factor that leather can have is the fact that it is cold in winter and hot in summer. This happens with natural leather (although much more if it is synthetic skins). In winter, other types of upholstery such as chenille or velvet are warmer. And for the summer there are tapestries that mitigate the sensation of heat or, at least, they do not increase it as, for example, the cottons and the linens.
Now, with all the data in hand and with the advantages and disadvantages well learned, you can now decide if you want to put a leather sofa in your life. They still look special, elegant and very beautiful to me. And you?
