Coleman Furniture

There’s nothing quite like leather furniture, but if you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, you might consider leather match or leather mix furnishings. Leather is soft and supple and has the wonderful smell that you’ll remember, if you’ve sat in real leather chairs before. Each piece is a bit different, based on the piece of leather it was created from, so that makes each furnishing somewhat unique, as compared to others.

Leather can be pricey, so you may opt to purchase leather mix recliners, sofas or sectionals, instead of going with all leather. Leather mix will still offer you leather on the parts of the sofa or chair that you touch, and the rest is a durable blend that includes poly cotton and polyurethane.
In contrast, leather match furnishings are upholstered using vinyl along with real leather, and the two types of material are dyed the same hue, so that you almost can’t tell the difference. Leather match furniture is more affordable to make, and thus cheaper to buy, than all leather furniture. The “look” is very similar to leather, and since real leather is used anywhere you touch or sit, it feels like you’re sitting in an all-leather chair or sofa. The tops of the back rests, arms and cushions are all leather, giving you that “all leather” experience, at a lower price.
A leather mix or leather match sofa or chair will not age as well as a true leather furnishing, since the vinyl or other materials may have oils that are absorbed into the leather. This will cause the vinyl to eventually crack, since the leather has pulled its oil from within. In addition, leather and vinyl don’t age at the same rate, so as the furniture gets older, you will be able to tell that it’s not all leather.
All-leather furniture is quite popular, both for use in the home and in places of business. It gives an air of polish and professionalism in an office space, but it finds its most comfortable place in homes. In a home, each person and guest has a chance to experience the luxury of leather, in chairs, recliners and sofas that are so easy to sit down in that you don’t want to get up. Leather is cool to the touch in the summer, which makes it a perennial favorite in many luxurious homes.
You can purchase leather, leather match and leather mix furnishings online, with clear photographs, so that you can tell exactly what you are buying. If you are budget-conscious and style-savvy, you may opt for the lower prices of leather match and leather mix furniture, since in all likelihood, many of your guests won’t even be able to tell that they are not real leather.
Do keep in mind though, if you plan to keep your sectionals or chairs for a long time, that the look of leather mix and leather match will change more with time, in a negative way, so that it’s easier for the casual observer to tell that a chair is not all leather. Leather chairs themselves will wear in a wonderful way and become distressed and even more attractive than they were when you purchased them.
