Leatherette Sofa

To date, technology has developed to such an extent that materials have appeared that would have previously very much surprised consumers. There was a lot of replacements of all the favorite fabric - leather. Many people choose artificial leather sofas.

Leatherette sofas are in demand since they appeared on the shelves.

The main advantages of such furniture:

• low cost;
• practicality;
• stylish simplicity;
• moisture resistance;
• in the manufacture of no one was hurt;
• more office type;
• easy to clean.

Disadvantages:

• possible ignition if the furniture is close to the heat source;
• instability to mechanical damage (sharp objects, animal claws);
• substandard substitutes may have an unpleasant odor.

Such furniture has many shapes and colors, different cost and a large set of performance characteristics. A straight sofa in leather substitute is a good alternative to a bed. It is well suited for a living room or hallway, it will look good in the bedroom. If there is a shortage of bed, the sofa converts into a bed in a second. Corner models of kozhzam furniture are perfect for a small office or kitchen. Recently, such products began to be introduced into family cafes - maximum free space and comfort. For such furniture is extremely easy to care for. The angle can move both right and left, which allows you to find an option for absolutely any room.

For convenience, modern furniture should be divided into the one that is regularly used as a bed, and guest. A prerequisite for the first is to have a strong, safe layout mechanism. At the moment, double and corner designs of sofas are most often equipped with a "dolphin" type device. There are also mechanisms "accordion", which are being pushed forward and require free space, which must be remembered."Eurobook" lays out a sofa along the wall, which helps to save space in a small apartment.

Separately, I would like to note eco-leather This is a material that is very pleasant to the touch and practically does not differ from the natural. Ecoskin is a product from polyurethane which has a set of micropores that allows air to circulate well (which ordinary skin does not allow). For example, if a person sits on a sofa made of genuine leather painted with acrylic, he will sweat and the body will stick to the surface of the furniture. If you are on eco-leather, then this will not happen.

Faux leather is very durable. Studies have shown that it can last ten times longer than natural material. This type of leatherette is also frost resistant than the original. It can withstand temperatures up to -35 ° C, which is a very important indicator for our country, it lets less moisture through. Eco-leather non-allergenic and durable. The warranty on most products made from this material is five years.

There are a lot of color solutions. If genuine leather will look better in natural shades (brown and brown), then in the environment of imitation leathers fantasy may well be roaming.Dazzling white, gothic black, gorgeous red, cozy “coffee with milk” and much more - everything that the soul wants. But it should be borne in mind that very unnatural colors (green, blue, orange) may look coarse - compared to more subtle counterparts.

To choose the right sofa, you need to understand how it will be used. After that, ask yourself a few questions, the answers to which repeat the consultant. Think about which room (kitchen, living room, hallway, or even in the office) will be furniture. Decide whether the sofa will be a separate sleeping place. Determine whether a sharp temperature drop in the room is possible. Track the quality of the design (for sleeping, furniture with a frame consisting of many beams, and not a single crossbar) and upholstery (a thin and smooth coating will very quickly lose its appearance, the presence of animals and children will accelerate the process). Pay attention to the seams, they must be durable. There should not be large holes in the puncture site, in any case should not diverge thread. To check the quality of the material, you can sit on the seat for two or three minutes and then see how quickly the sofa will restore its shape. This should happen in 20-30 seconds (no more), otherwise the leatherette will sell quickly.

Do not allow the appearance of defects due to mechanical stress. Wipe the furniture once a week with a soft microfiber cloth moistened with soapy water, then remove the soap with a damp cloth and dry the surface (excessive moisture on the fabric can accelerate corrosion). To prevent stains from entering the leatherette structure, remove the dirt immediately after it appears. "Difficult" spots (from ink, varnish, pencil), remove the alcohol solution.

Never use brushes when cleaning, even with a soft nap. Avoid chemicals that contain acids and chlorine. It is recommended to preserve the aesthetic appearance of the sofa occasionally to treat its surface with water-repellent agent. Drying products should occur under natural conditions.You should not wash the sofa before the arrival of guests, and then in a hurry to dry it with a hairdryer.

Focusing on customer reviews, we can draw the following conclusions:

1. Sofas and armchairs made of artificial leather are just perfect for offices and rooms where a lot of time passes a lot of people (cafes, restaurants, reception rooms, waiting rooms of superior comfort). There are qualities of durability (provided proper care and no deliberate damage), elegance, versatility.
2. When buying too cheap furniture, the buyer may receive a low-quality product. This may threaten the divergence of thread, loss of color of kozhzam, loss of seat shape, too strong heating of the fabric from the skin (which will cause sticking to the upholstery).
3. Furniture with a substitute leather cover is extremely uncomfortable as a bed, because it is very smooth. Bed linens and bedspreads will simply slip, which can interfere with quality sleep.
4. In the presence of a house of naughty animals, you need to think carefully before making a purchase,as the sofa is great for molting pets (you can easily sweep the wool with your hand or vacuum the surface), but sharp claws and teeth are dangerous, the traces of which will be extremely difficult to disguise.
5. Kozham is a great option for the kitchen and living room, because it does not absorb odors. Contaminations are easily removed with a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth. These products are comfortable as seating. They will accommodate many relatives and guests.
6. It should be borne in mind that absolutely any skin substitute will begin to lose color, so it will be better to get darker options that will not cease to be attractive.
