How to identify whether a leather sofa is genuine or not

Sheepskin: The leather is smaller, the leather surface is finer, the texture is regular, and the feel is flexible, but due to the adaptation of processed fabrics, it often needs to be spliced, which affects the appearance.

Pigskin: The leather is rough and the gloss is poor, so it is not suitable for sofas.

Cowhide: smooth and delicate, clear texture, soft color, uniform thickness and thickness, large leather, suitable for sofa fabrics. Leather is divided according to the place of origin, and there are imported leather and domestic leather.

Imported skins are mostly from Italy, and domestic skins are mainly from Sichuan and Hebei.

Good leather feels delicate, good toughness, large thickness, good elasticity, wear-resistant, and the difference between imported leather and domestic leather is about 50 yuan per sheet.

Imported leather and domestic leather are mainly due to the different processing technology, and the chemical agents added to the imported leather during processing are less than those in China, so the fine pores can still be clearly seen on the skin surface, and the sense of reality, breathability and touch is good.

According to the processing technology, leather can be divided into full green leather, semi-green leather and embossed leather.

Pure green skin, also known as the first layer of skin, refers to the thick skin of hair and meat, really dyed and lightly sprayed to fill the scars of the adult skin, this kind of leather breathability, comfort is good, because less chemicals are used in processing, but also harmless to health.

Semi-green skin, also known as two-layer skin, refers to the original skin, that is, the whole green skin peeled off the lower layer of a thicker epidermis, compared with the whole green skin, there are more scars and fly eyes, and it needs to be moderately polished to be used as sofa leather. Because the semi-green leather finished sofa is still realistic, the look, texture and comfort are better, so it is still the top quality of the leather, ** is much cheaper than the full green leather sofa, and it is the choice of most consumers.

Embossed leather: A layer of thin, semi-green skin that is cut after the original skin has been peeled off. This kind of skin has heavy scars and deep fly eyes, so it needs to be deeply polished and then filled with sofa leather.

Because the appearance and texture of the leather surface are poor, in order to make up for this deficiency, most of the processes are embossed. But it's rich in color and varied in style, making it easy to choose.

Sipi: It belongs to imitation leather, that is, artificial leather. The feel is very different from that of genuine leather, but the ordinary imitation leather of leather is thick and soft to the touch.

Oily skin: between imported semi-green leather and full green skin, it feels better than semi-green skin, which is more troublesome in terms of maintenance, and it is difficult to clean it stained with oil.

Since many people don't know much about leather sofas, for this reason, they don't know how to distinguish when buying. So how to distinguish the genuine and fake leather sofa leather? PChouse will take you to find out.

1. Look at the corners.

In order to reduce the cost, some leather sofas use high-quality leather on the top of the sofa, while the back or corners are mixed with some inferior leather.

2. Look at the material.

Leather sofa is actually a general name, pigskin, horse skin, donkey skin, cowhide can be used as sofa raw materials, you must figure out what kind of leather is used. Among them, the cowhide leather is soft, thick, and the best quality, and the sofa is generally made of buffalo leather, which is thicker and thicker, and the best is yellow cowhide and green cowhide. The skin texture of horse skin and donkey skin is similar to cowhide, but the surface skin is green and loose, easy to peel off after a long time, and is not durable, so it is cheap.

3. Look at the filler.

The filling mainly refers to the sponge, which is divided into three types: high elasticity, high elastic ultra-soft and medium elasticity according to elasticity. The specific method is to press the armrests and backrests of the sofa with your hands, if you can clearly feel the existence of the wooden frame, it proves that the filling density of this sofa is not high, and the elasticity is not good enough. Wooden frames that can be easily pressed will also accelerate the wear and tear of the sofa jacket and reduce the life of the sofa.

4. Look at the wooden frame.

Look at whether the sofa skeleton is strong, which is related to the service life and quality assurance of the sofa. The specific method is to lift one end of the three-person sofa, pay attention to whether the leg of the other end is off the ground when the lifting part is 10cm off the ground, and only the other side is also off the ground, and the inspection is considered to be passed.

Here are a few ways to help distinguish a leather sofa from a faux leather sofa:

1.Observe the appearance: Leather sofas often have the texture and traces of natural leather, which are different from the smooth and sculpted texture of faux leather.

The surface of the real lead trail leather sofa will also have folds and subtle irregular shapes, features that are usually less common on faux leather.

2.Smell: Leather sofas often have the smell of natural leather, which may have some bitter or pungent flavors. In contrast, faux leather usually has no smell or may have a plastic or chemical smell.

3.Touch: The surface of a leather sofa is soft and elastic, but at the same time, it feels heavy and the temperature changes with the environment. In contrast, faux leather is usually smoother and harder, and feels lighter and stiffer than a leather sofa.

4.**: Leather sofa is more expensive, this is because of its characteristics, durability and higher quality, and through the test of time and changes in use preferences, it will also have a better value retention rate.

Compared with this, artificial leather is usually more accessible, but it has a shorter life and is prone to pitting or fading.

It should be noted that when distinguishing between a leather sofa and a faux leather sofa, it is best to compare it through several aspects in order to have a more objective judgment on its quality.
