The leather sofa is fashionable in appearance. It can not only show the master's status but also highlight the high-end style of home. Therefore, many people have a special preference for a leather sofa. But how do we decide whether the sofa we buy is genuine leather when we choose and buy it? What are the criteria for identifying leather sofas?


1. Look
When you see a group of "flawless" leather sofas, you should be vigilant, because it may be artificial leather. Generally speaking, animals will produce some "natural signs" in their life cycle, such as tinea, obesity, gestational stria, acne scars, scratches, branding and so on. The scars on the leather sofa often represent the pure nature and original taste of the cortex.

2. Touch
Touch the skin of the sofa to see if the thickness of the cortex is uniform and the feel is soft. (Friction test can be done with sensitive wrist inner skin) and, in general, the leather sofa cortex is very tough, smooth, clear and delicate lines, comfortable and skin-friendly, and conversely has a stiff and rigid feeling.

3. Every part of the top quality leather sofa is carefully designed according to the principle of ergonomics. The design is ingenious and the shape is beautiful. When people sit on the sofa, the waist and back can be close to the back of the sofa, and the body relaxes properly. This can be referred to as the American Le Zhibao sofa sitting feeling. On the contrary, if the sitting feeling is unsatisfactory, even if its appearance is gorgeous, it is not applicable.

4. Kukahome's leather sofa has certain water absorption. When a drop of clean water drops onto the surface of the dermis, the water will slowly penetrate into the inside of the human fibers. Then it evaporates slowly. (Note that try to find a place where the sofa is not open-faced to test or buy a piece of test leather because some of the dermis will leave watermarks. ) The "synthetic leather" water does not penetrate inward, and the water droplets only adhere to the surface (most of the water droplets are oil droplets). ) This is also the reason why some consumers feel stuffy and uncomfortable when they use sofas. Compared with the dermis, this sofa has poor air permeability, so we should be cautious when buying it.
