Why get a leather sofa bed?
- Easy to clean – Unlike fabric, which marks very easily (especially in light colours), leather resists spills and splats; simply wipe it down with a damp cloth for clean up after those movie snacks.
- Durability – Leather goes through some serious tanning processes which make it highly resilient. This is why leather sofa beds are considered to be more hardy than fabric options.
- Timeless style – The smooth and sleek surface of a genuine or faux leather sofa bed gives it a classic look that has a place in every home.
- Versatility – After a sofa bed that works well with your favourite boucle armchair? Leather usually comes in neutral colours that pair beautifully with most other types and colours of furniture.
- It ages beautifully – While a fabric couch will often sag and become stained, leather just gets better with age.
