Leather reigns supreme for many reasons, all of which add up to comfort, style, aesthetics, and more.

2. Longevity: Durability’s partner. With the right care and maintenance, a quality leather sofa can last for many years.

4. Maintenance: Leather is easy to clean, it can be as easy as running a damp cloth over it once a week. Dry with a soft cloth and you are done. If needed, you can vacuum your leather furniture using the soft brush attachment before you wipe it down. You should condition your leather sofa every 6-12 months with a good leather conditioner.
