Textile leather - also known as imitation leather

Imitation leather - simply practical for furniture

Not only animal-friendly restaurants like to use vegan leather. Textile leather is often visually indistinguishable from genuine leather. In comparison, imitation leather usually has a textile backing that is coated with plastic, whereas real leather often appears with a more irregular grain pattern. In terms of robustness and longevity, artificial leather is in no way inferior to real leather. Due to the various properties, it is particularly suitable for processing upholstered furniture and offers an enormous variety of designs and applications. With attractive looks, authentic structures and trendy as well as classic colors, individual seating and sleeping furniture can be designed for different areas of use.

Durable and easy to care for

The material is soft to the touch and resistant to flammable sources, making it ideal as a durable and hard-wearing upholstery fabric for public spaces. After all, furniture in properties and hotels is exposed to heavy daily wear and tear that they have to withstand. In addition, leather imitations are uncomplicated and light. The material weighs less than natural leather, is easier to work with, has a pleasant feel, is abrasion-resistant and easy to clean. Upholstered furniture with textile leather covers can simply be wiped clean with a damp cloth. A dash of soap or disinfectant cleaner is also recommended. In addition, imitation leather is ecologically harmless and animal-friendly in production.

Quality features of high-quality textile leather

There are strong material differences, especially among imitation leather versions. High-quality imitation leather can be recognized by certifications and some quality features. Tear resistance protects the material from premature tears and gives it its resilience. That is why good imitations are always made of high-quality and stable materials. Due to sufficient elasticity, the material remains stretchy and protects upholstery covers from tearing. The level can also be determined by the feel, because the best textile leather never feels firm, but is similar to real leather when touched. The best artificial leather is always odorless or even subtly imitates the smell of real leather and is always silent when sitting down or standing up. Another factor is lightfastness. High-quality leather imitations rarely fade, but retain their original color for a long time.
