Top-Grain vs Full-Grain Leather Sofa – Deciding on a New Leather Couch

August 9, 2019 By Naz

It’s time to get a new couch and you’ve decided you want to go with a leather sofa. Top-grain leather and full-grain leather are the two highest quality leathers, but how do you know which one is right for you? It comes down to three things –appearance, durability, and price.

Full-Grain Leather Sofas

Appearance – Full-grain is the most natural leather. It’s rustic and unique and best suited to things like accessories, equipment and other instances where you don’t need a uniform or smooth appearance.

Durability – Because full-grain isn’t altered or sanded, it doesn’t always stand up to life’s little messes. Stains can soak right in to the untreated leather and stay there.

Price – Full-grain is the most expensive leather. It’s not as flexible or easy to work with, so it’s more expensive to the manufacturer and subsequently, the consumer.

Top-Grain Leather Sofas

Appearance – Top-grain leather is made by sanding away the topmost part of the leather hide and imprinting it with a uniform imitation grain. Top-grain leather is considered the best for furniture, because it allows for a uniform look that’s still natural and authentic.
Durability – Top-grain is more durable than bonded and corrected leather. It can last for several years and the added top-layer can withstand large amounts of pressure, stains, and natural wear and tear.
Price – Top-grain leather is more expensive than “genuine” leather or “100 percent” leather, but it’s the leather to choose if you want a high-quality leather sofa. At Leather Expressions, we help by offering the best deals on the highest-rated top grain leather brands. Give our clearance section a look for the lowest prices we offer!
