Which is best Fabric or Leather Sofa?
There are many factors to consider when picking a sofa. During the process, one is faced by the big question or confusion whether to go in for a leather sofa or a fabric one. To be truthful, the choice totally depends on the user’s preferences.Both materials have their pros and cons and it is left to you to pick the one that is best suitable for you.
-Comfort: Generally,fabric tends to be an overall softer, warmer material than leather; just like your leather car seats, leather sofas can feel hot and sticky in the heat season and cold in the rainy season, and leather sofas tend to feel firmer than fabric sofas.Even though it can be accessorized but it will loose out on it lustrous look.
-Care:Leather is very easy to clean usually requiring a light dusting or rub down a couple of times a year—whereas fabric needs to be vacuumed and cleaned regularly. Leather is durable and can last for decades if cared for properly. However, while leather doesn’t require constant attention, it should be conditioned consistently to prevent cracks and splits.
-Cost: The cost of both types of sofas is determined by quality. Undoubtedly, good fabric and framing are expensive. In the end, however, the same leather piece will cost you the same (if not more) as buying a high-quality fabric sofa. The best strategy is to compare prices and features such as ease of cleaning, comfort, and durability. When making your decisions, take your own preferences into account.
-Durability : Leather is more durable (10-15 years if maintained well), used in rugged conditions, but will fade in sun and degrade with time.Leather is also susceptible to cracking or splitting. However, leather tends to last significantly longer than fabric before it needs replacing. Fabric tends to fade, stain and wear out more quickly.
-Style:Fabric couches offer infinitely more choices than leather, with a dizzying array of patterns, colors, shapes, and upholstery techniques. On the other hand, nothing matches a high-quality leather couch for making a sophisticated impact on a room. Once again, it comes down to personal choice. Do you want your sofa to be the main design element in your living room, or do you want pillows and side chairs to perform that function? If you're okay with the couch being neutral, you can opt for leather and augment with additional patterned pieces.
