Which cover is best for you?

Leather has an average lifespan four times longer than that of fabric. Today’s active lifestyles require a furniture cover that can meet the demands of everyday use and look great for years to come. As a natural material, leather has the ability to breathe, making it cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.    

 

LEATHER:

Naturally finished leather is soft and natural, displaying nature's characteristics and markings. It ages beautifully and develops a soft patina over time.

    * The most supple and sumptuous leather

    * Receives the least amount of processing; aniline dye permeates the full-grain hide, leaving its natural character intact

    * Exhibits healed scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, and subtle differences in grain and shading

    * Every hide accepts dye differently; dye lots will vary

    * Should not be placed in a location with direct sunlight

    * Requires normal leather care and maintenance


Brushed leather maintains the softness of naturally finished leather while providing an incredible brushed look and feel.

    * A beautiful leather with a lush nap

    * Exhibits noticeable natural marks and grain variation

    * More durable than a true suede, but requires more care than a natural leather


Bicast leather has a pigmented finish applied to the surface for protection from stains and to improve the consistency of color from hide to hide.

    * More uniform color and texture; natural grain is still evident

    * Durable, less likely to fade

    * Ideal for young families with children and pets, or for high-traffic areas

    * Easiest leather to clean and care for
