Leather Upholstery: Timeless Elegance & Enduring Quality

Leather Upholstery

Our leather upholstery collection brings together sofas, recliners, chairs and footstools that epitomise luxury and durability. Leather has a distinctive grain and rich colouring that adds warmth and sophistication to any room. Unlike fabric, leather is naturally resistant to stains and spills, so a quick wipe with a soft cloth keeps it looking pristine. Its supple nature means it conforms to your body, providing comfortable support that improves with age. Over time, leather develops a beautiful patina, enhancing its character while maintaining strength. For allergy sufferers, leather is a smart choice because it doesn’t harbour dust mites or pet dander. With proper conditioning twice a year, a leather sofa or chair can last for decades, making it a worthwhile investment.

Our range includes 2 seater, 3 seater and 4 seater sofas, plus manual and power recliner sofas for effortless relaxation. Chairs come in various styles, including manual recliner chairs, power recliner chairs, swivel chairs and lift‑and‑rise chairs that gently help you to your feet. Matching footstools provide extra seating or a place to rest your feet and some include hidden storage. Frames are crafted from solid hardwood and composite boards, with high‑density foam seat cushions and sinuous springs for balanced support. Fibre‑filled backs and optional feather‑filled scatters add plush comfort. If you like to customise, choose from a palette of leathers—from classic browns and blacks to contemporary greys and blues—and select stitching details and leg finishes that suit your décor.

When selecting a leather piece, consider your room’s size and layout. Allow at least 60 cm of clearance around sofas and chairs for easy movement and space for recliners to extend. Decide whether a manual recliner, power recliner or riser recliner best meets your needs: manual models offer simplicity and freedom from cables; power versions adjust at the push of a button; riser recliners aid those with limited mobility. Leather is versatile—it pairs beautifully with natural wood, metal and glass and works in both modern and traditional settings. With free delivery, optional room‑of‑choice assembly and flexible finance, upgrading your living space with leather upholstery has never been easier.

FAQs

1. Why choose leather upholstery over fabric?
   

   Leather combines durability, elegance and ease of maintenance. It resists spills and stains, wiping clean with minimal effort. Leather doesn’t harbour allergens like dust mites or pet hair, making it ideal for those with allergies. Although it costs more upfront, a leather sofa or chair can last decades, developing a beautiful patina that fabric can’t match. Its natural flexibility means it conforms to your body, providing supportive comfort that improves over time.

2. How do I care for a leather sofa or chair?
   

   Maintenance is straightforward. Dust your leather furniture regularly and wipe up spills immediately with a soft cloth. Condition the leather every six months to keep it supple and prevent cracking. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight or near radiators, which can dry out the hide. If you own a power recliner, ensure the mechanism is kept clear and use a surge‑protected socket. With these simple steps, your leather furniture will stay looking beautiful for years.

3. Are leather sofas comfortable year‑round?
   

   Yes. Leather adapts quickly to body temperature—staying cool in summer and warm in winter—so it’s comfortable whatever the season. It moulds to your body shape, offering personalised support without losing its form. High‑quality foam and spring interiors beneath the leather enhance comfort and ensure the sofa or chair retains its shape. Many people find leather more supportive than fabric, especially when combined with high‑density cushions.

4. What’s the difference between manual and power recliner sofas?
   

   Manual recliner sofas use a lever or push‑back action to raise the footrest and recline the back; they’re lighter, cost less and don’t need a power source. Power recliners are operated by buttons—sometimes with dual motors—allowing independent adjustment of the back and footrest. They glide smoothly into position and stop at any angle, offering more control and ease of use. Choose manual if you want simplicity and flexibility; choose power if you prefer convenience and effortless adjustment.

5. Do leather sofas suit families with children or pets?
   

   Absolutely. Leather’s smooth surface makes it easy to clean—it doesn’t absorb spills as fabric does, so most marks can be wiped away. It’s also less prone to harbour allergens, which benefits families with allergies. While claws can scratch cheaper leathers, opting for high‑quality, thicker hides reduces the risk. Regular conditioning keeps the leather supple and helps disguise minor marks. Many families choose leather for its resilience and longevity.
