People who like leather sofas but can't afford leather sofas are usually confused about what kind of imitation leather sofa to buy.Now the more common imitation leather materials on the market mainly include microfiber leather, technical cloth, PU leather fabric, PVC leather and so on.

Today, let's compare which of these materials is better.

Conclusion first:

As a sofa fabric, in terms of performance, microfiber leather≈tech cloth>PU>PVC, and the price is roughly in this arrangement

Let's talk about PVC and PU, that is, artificial leather.

1. PVC Leather

PVC leather is coated with polyvinyl chloride resin and non-woven as the base. Due to the characteristics of polyvinyl chloride resin, PVC is easy to harden and embrittle during use, and then dry and crack, and the service life is not long. Therefore, it is more used for decorative purposes, and less used in places that are easily damaged such as sofa seats. Cheap.

2. PU Leather

PU leather is coated with polyurethane resin, and non-woven or knitted fabric is used as the base. The coating of PU leather has better wear resistance than the coating of PVC. The physical properties of PU leather are better than that of PVC leather. It is resistant to torsion, soft, high tensile strength, and breathable. It is more suitable for sofas and other wear-prone scenes than PVC, and its price is higher than that of PVC.

Take another look at microfiber leather and technical cloth, both of which are synthetic leathers that imitate the physical structure and properties of natural leather.

3. Microfiber Leather

Its base is usually a superfine nylon fiber non-woven fabric with a porous three-dimensional grid-like structure that imitates genuine leather, and the surface layer is also a grained structure that imitates genuine leather. Compared with PVC and PU leather, it has better moisture absorption and air permeability, and is far superior to PU leather in terms of wear resistance, mechanical properties, and color fastness. Of course, the price is also higher than that of PU leather.

4. Technical Cloth

The technical cloth fabric was first launched in the European and American markets and was well received. The English name is Leathaire, and it is also known as "the fabric that breathes". From the perspective of material structure, technical cloth can be said to be a kind of microfiber leather, but there are two kinds of cloth feeling and leather feeling in manufacturing, and the styles are very rich. The leather-like technical fabric has the texture and color of genuine leather, and at the same time has the breathability of fabric.

With the advancement of technology, the technology cloth is also constantly being upgraded. For example, we used the eighth-generation microfiber technology cloth in the newly launched Qumei customized new product series, which has many advantages:

1. It is closer to the leather texture and has an excellent hand feeling, which makes the sofa feel more luxurious and has a stronger sense of value.

2. It has super breathability and is more comfortable to sit all year round (even in summer).

3. Super wear-resistant, longer service life

4. It is easier to maintain and clean than ordinary fabric sofas. 5. Strong environmental protection performance and high comfort

6. Never hydrolyzed, peeled or cracked

7. Bionic design, the texture is very natural

8. Has super flexibility

9. Excellent color fastness, never fade
