Faux leather sofa covers – what to focus on!

October 6, 2015 by Jean-Marc Chateigner Leave a Comment

Today, I would like to talk about faux leather sofa covers! I know that most people are never going to think about such items, because they think that faux leather sofas don’t need covers, because they are cheap, and not very “sophisticated”!

If you don’t think this way, then you are a rare breed, because from my experience, as a faux leather expert, I know that most people still view faux leather as a low-quality material, and a less reliable fabric so to speak!

For all your faux leather maintenance, I highly recommend saddle soap. Click here to get it!

It’s not true, faux leather is very durable and stylish as well, and the proof is that many manufacturers have turned into making products and upholstery items using this fabric which is amazing.

Now, let’s talk about the things you need to focus on when selecting the right faux leather sofa covers for you.

The first one is to always shop for microfiber faux leather sofa covers.

This is probably the most important advice you need to take from this post, it’s the fact that faux leather, although it may be very resistant and highly durable, is very easily scratched, and unlike real leather, when you scratch faux leather, it doesn’t look very good, which is not the case with real leather, the older it gets, the more beautiful it becomes!

This means that when you are shopping for faux leather sofa covers, the first thing you need to have in mind is to always choose microfibers one, in other words, faux leather sofa covers that are made with quality fabric, they are not going to scratch your faux leather sofa and are even going to make it highly durable and resistant to scratches and other hurts and damages.

The second thing you must focus on is a darker color.

And in this case, I’m not suggesting this for aesthetic reasons, but because faux leather is very sensitive to sunlight and other hurting and damaging elements as well, such as humidity and heat.

When you use dark faux leather sofa covers, they are going to get damaged instead of your sofa and this is going to keep it looking good over the years.

And the third thing to have in mind is related to the price.

For all your leather and faux leather items, I highly recommend Saddle soap. Click here to try it!

Most people are going to say that faux leather sofa covers are going to cost a lot, which is not true, the best quality ones, the ones we use as well, cost less than thirty dollars, and they will last you for many years, and the wonderful thing is that if you buy two sets, you can wash one in the machine and replace it immediately in order to keep your faux leather sofa protected and damage free.
