Genuine Leather vs Fabric Upholstery

Choosing the right upholstery depends on the finish you prefer, your budget and how you plan to use your sofa. Concept Lounging offers genuine leather as our premium upholstery category, as well as a range of non-leather upholstery fabrics including Embossed Buffalo, canvas, velvet and other suitable fabrics, subject to current availability.

Simple pricing rule: all non-genuine-leather upholstery options use the same standard fabric price tier. Genuine leather is priced separately at the higher genuine-leather rate.

Genuine Leather

Genuine leather is our premium upholstery option. It has a natural look and feel, is breathable and develops character as it ages. We offer genuine leather across static, reclining and console-equipped configurations.

Warranty: Genuine leather sofas carry our 5-year warranty against covered manufacturing and structural faults.

Fabric & Non-Leather Upholstery

Our standard fabric pricing applies across suitable non-genuine-leather upholstery choices. Depending on the design and what is currently available, this can include Embossed Buffalo, canvas, velvet and other upholstery fabrics. Choosing a different non-leather fabric does not move the sofa into the genuine-leather price tier.

Embossed Buffalo: This remains one of our popular standard upholstery choices, offering a leather-inspired appearance in a practical upholstered finish.

Canvas and velvet: These provide alternative textures and looks while remaining within the same standard fabric pricing structure. Exact colours, fabric ranges and suitability for a particular sofa design are confirmed before production.

Warranty: Standard fabric sofas carry our 2-year warranty against covered manufacturing and structural faults.

Which should you choose?

Choose genuine leather if you want the premium natural material and longer genuine-leather warranty. Choose from our non-leather fabric range if you prefer canvas, Embossed Buffalo, velvet or another suitable upholstery finish at the standard fabric price point.
