Different types of leather used for manufacturing furniture

1) Full Grain Leather
It’s one of the leather type commonly used for manufacturing types of furniture like couch, sofa, chairs, and upholsteries. It has a smooth layer making it extremely durable and stiff material type.

2) Top Grain Leather
The outermost layer of top grain leather is very smooth making it durable. It’s known for making leather upholsteries and furniture of course. Although coated with a protective finish, this material type continues to soften eventually if roughly used. Therefore, make sure to take good care of your leather furniture if you want it to last in the long-run.

3) Split leather
Basically, split leather is naturally soft and delicate as it is the lower layer of the top grain and full grain layers. Unlike full and top grain leather material; this is not commonly used in making large pieces of furniture because it’s thin and not durable. Nonetheless, despite all the drawbacks, this is still a popular leather choice.

4) Bonded Leather
Bonded leather is another popular option for upholstery manufacturing. Unlike the other types of leather material like the top and full grain, it isn’t crafted from full hides. Instead, this material type is extracted from the leather scraps which are blended together and made into a large sheet. However, furniture made with bonded leather is not as durable as top and full grain leathers. Moreover, the layer is thinner than other types of materials.


Whatever the leather type is, furniture made with genuine leather material is beautiful, natural, durable, and timeless. Be it is a leather sofa, black couch, or chair, leather furniture as a home décor is a brilliant option.
