A leather reclining sofa is the perfect addition to any family room. You can relax and enjoy your favorite show on a large flat screen TV or catch up with friends while enjoying a beverage. Leather reclining couches come in a variety of styles and colors that will complement any living room decor. They can be a statement piece with tufted details and hardware accents or they can be a more subtle style to blend into your existing furniture. You can also find a wide range of leather protection levels that will help to protect your upholstery from spills and accidents.

There are several important factors to consider when purchasing a new leather reclining sofa. The first is what type of leather you prefer. You can choose from top grain, full grain and bonded leather. Top grain leather is the best quality from a durability standpoint. It is made from the entire hide leaving the tough grain layer intact. Then manufacturers add in a layer of synthetic protection to keep the leather looking great. This makes it long lasting and stain resistant. Full grain leather is more expensive but it is also a great choice from a quality standpoint.

Bonded leather is a cheaper option but it can peel and crack over time. This type of leather is made by cutting up the leather pieces and mixing them with a bonding agent. It is usually a very cheap way to get leather furniture and you need to be very careful not to damage it. If you are going to buy a bonded leather reclining sofa, make sure that you are not getting it from a very cheap retailer.

You will also need to decide if you want a manual reclining sofa or a power reclining one. A manual reclining sofa requires that you pull on a lever or handle to recline the backrest and footrest. A power reclining leather sofa has a built-in mechanism that allows you to recline with the touch of a button or remote control. You can even find models that allow you to independently adjust the headrest and recline the footrest for a personalized sit.
