When shopping for Italian style couches and sectional sofas, it helps to have a good knowledge of the various types of leather you can buy. This guide covers key differences in the many labels used to help you find the best product for your needs. If you happen to have sensitive skin, full-grain, pure-aniline dyed leather is perhaps the best choice. It typically has fewer irritants as opposed to those labeled as a genuine leather sofa, leather match and especially faux leather.

* Please do note some products listed and titled on this page as real or genuine may be top-grain, full-grain and so forth. If in doubt, it’s best to contact the retailer/manufacturer on specific details.

What’s the difference between: Full-Grain, Top-Grain, Genuine Leather, Split Leather, and bonded / faux leathers?

There are so many labels and types used that it’s certainly easy to get confused. Here are the most commonly used and a short description outlining key differences.

• Full-Grain

Although widely regarded as the most durable and highest in quality, it also tends to be the most expensive. Made of the outermost layer of hide, it offers a superior level of durability. Reserved for high-end products, it’s also used for designer bags and other items to carry things. If you want the best leather upholstery, be sure to look for full grain leather sofa on the listing.

• Top-Grain

More commonly used than full-grain for furniture, it’s flexible and soft to the touch while retaining most of the durability and longevity of full-grain. Due to these characteristics, 100% top grain leather sofa tends to be thinner than full-grain. The tanning process usually involves a light buffing and sanding treatment, which produces a rich, supple feel.

• Split-Grain / Genuine Leather

In many cases, products seen labeled as “real genuine leather” is actually split-grain. It’s cheaper and lower in quality than the aforementioned types. The top layer is “split” from the surface, and usually has an artificial layer applied which is embossed with a leather grain.

• Bonded/Faux

Lastly, bonded leather is made of leftover scrap that is shredded to a pulp. These shreds are then bonded together with a latex or polyurethane sheet. The amount of leather fibers in the mix can vary anywhere from 10% to 90%.  Faux products on the other handed are usually 100% polyurethane, 100% vinyl, or a combination of the two.

What’s the most durable and longest lasting leather sofas?

In general, top-grain and full-grain, depending on the dying method (more on that below). Because of full-grain’s high cost, furniture manufacturers typically opt for more affordable alternatives. Top-grain and split-grain are more commonly used for a leather sectional.

What’s the most comfortable leather sofa?

For most people, full-grain and top-grain, and even genuine italian leather sofas that are pure-aniline dyed for their hypo-allergenic benefits. Some have a sanding and buffing treatment, offering a supple feel to its texture. You may be surprised to find it’s actually quite breathable, being much cooler than synthetic products such as faux (vinyl). It’s also remarkably warmer than many other fabrics due to its insulating properties. Because the tanning process involves minimal impurities, pure-aniline dyed is regarded as best for those with sensitive skin.

There are of course other underlying factors such as other materials used. Particularly, in the seat and back cushions and whether it is a sectional sofa or not. Hypo-allergenic down feathers, high-quality foam, eight-way hand-tied suspension, etc.

What are full-aniline, semi-aniline and pigmented leathers?

There are generally three methods in which the leather has been either dyed or dyed and then pigmented.

• Full-Aniline or Pure-aniline dyed

It’s the most natural process and often referred to as Pure Aniline or Full Aniline. The process involves adding color with a water-soluble dye without insoluble pigments. It’s generally seen only with full-grain leathers. However, it does tend to stain and mark more easily than those treated semi-aniline. Those with severe skin sensitivity should look for this type of dye process on the label.

• Semi-Aniline dyed

In contrast, semi-aniline dyed leathers contain a light amount of pigment. This process adds a thin protective coat which resists scratches and stains. It’s mostly used and best suited for top-grain leathers. Those with high traffic households and pets may opt for this type to keep their sofas looking new.

• Pigmented

As with the two aforementioned types, it’s dyed completely through the hide, and then a layer of protective topcoat which includes pigments is added. However, it does this at the expense of reducing the deep rich color and luxurious feel you’ll find with full-aniline and semi-aniline dyed leathers. Those with severe skin allergies may want to look for better options with upholstery.
