Information on Leather Grades


Leather sectionals are the perfect addition to your home. You can put a leather sectional in your living room, family room, den, or entertainment room. They offer a clean comfortable look and feel. There are different grades of leather so make sure when it comes time to purchase your leather sectional that you do some research. The quality and grade of  leather can make all the difference in the world when it comes to comfort. The better the quality the more comfortable the leather.




Here are a few different examples of leather chairs and sectionals by their leather grade.


Aniline Leather Sectional: Analine is a type of leather is a material created through the tanning of hides and skins of animals, primarily cattle hide.Typically, leather is colored both for aesthetic reasons and to conceal blemishes. However, aniline leather is not colored. Often the term naked leather is used. This allows the leather to breathe better, making the leather more comfortable in both hot and cold weather. However, extra care is required when using furniture made from this leather. It is particularly susceptible to discoloration by sunlight and vulnerable to liquid spills.


Top Grain Leather Sectional: Top Grain leather is the second-highest quality and has had the "split" layer separated away, making it thinner and more pliable than full grain. Its surface has been sanded and a finish coat added to the surface which results in a colder, plastic feel with less breathability, and will not develop a natural patina. It is typically less expensive, and has greater resistance to stains than full-grain leather, so long as the finish remains unbroken.

Corrected Grain Leather Club Chair: Corrected Grain leather is any leather that has had an artificial grain applied to its surface. The hides used to create corrected leather do not meet the standards for use in creating vegetable-tanned or aniline leather. The imperfections are corrected or sanded off and an artificial grain impressed into the surface and dressed with stain or dyes. Most corrected-grain leather is used to make pigmented leather as the solid pigment helps hide the corrections or imperfections. Corrected grain leathers can mainly be bought as two finish types: semi-aniline and pigmented.

How to Choose Leather Sectionals

Leather Motion Massage Sectional Sofa

Sectional sofas work well in large rooms, providing the maximum amount of seating for the space. Although many fabric materials are available for sectionals, leather sectionals are popular due to their durability, ease of cleaning and upscale look. Hundreds of  leather sectionals are available on the market, so learn how to choose the best one before you spend money on a sectional that doesn't fit your needs. Below, you'll learn how to choose leather sectionals.

Choosing Leather Sectionals:

  1. Measure the room. Measure the room in which you plan to put the leather sectional. Sectionals come in a wide range of sizes, from very small to relatively large. Plan the configuration of furniture you want, and then measure to find a range of sizes that make sense. Most people forget to measure for a minimum, but keep in mind that a sectional sofa that is too small may look strange.
  2. Measure your doorways. Although most sectional pieces are small enough to fit through standard-sized doorways, your home might have door frames that are narrow. Measure to make sure you'll be able to fit your new leather sectional into your house.
  3. Compare leather grain. Leather is divided into two categories: top grain and split. Top-grain leather is most durable and natural-looking, but it's also the most expensive. Split leather is slightly less durable and is usually one consistent color, without desirable leather patterns; it is, however, the less expensive option. Both top-grain leather and split leather can be corrected, which is a process that sands away imperfections.
  4. Choose a color treatment. The most durable leather for sectionals is treated with pigments, but this gives the leather a less natural look and feel. Aniline leather is at the other end of the spectrum; this type of leather is natural, with no dyes, but that also makes it less durable and less stain-resistant. A happy medium is semi-aniline leather, which is treated with a light wash and allows some of the natural pattern to shine through.
  5. Consider suede and nubuck. These soft leather materials come from buffing split leather and top-grain leather, respectively. They give leather the feel of velvet but require more maintenance and protection from stains.
  6. Choose a cushion style. Most leather sectionals have attached back cushions, but some have back cushions that are removable for easier cleaning.
