Buying a new sofa is not something that you should rush. Quality sofas will cost RM1,000 and beyond, so it is worth taking the time to decide what is really suitable. The main decision that you are going to need to make before choosing a sofa is whether you go with leather or upholstery.
If you are on the lookout for a Leather Sofa, you are spoilt for choice, one of the more popular manufacturers in the Malaysia are LORENZO. Here are a few things to consider:
Style
Generally, leather is going to look a lot classier and more stylish than upholstery. They are definitely suited to the modern and contemporary homes and even offices. Upholstery tends to be suited to older homes that are beaming with character.
Durability
When you are spending this amount of cash, you really need to be focused on durability. Unfortunately, upholstery loses out here; big time! A sofa using upholstered material is like to last 2-3 times less than a leather equivalent. So if you are purchasing an upholstered sofa, then your budget needs to be 2-3 times less.

Warmth
Most people assume that leather is a cold material. It is true, when leather first touches the skin, it does feel a lot colder than upholstered material. That said it takes just over 10 seconds for the average leather sofa to warm up to body temperature, so this is not as much of an issue as most people think.

Sofa care
Treating sofas is what helps them to stand the test of time. Upholstered furniture is incredibly hard to treat. Dirt, water and dust can make their way through the fabric and into the cushions. For this reason, then get dirty quickly and they can even start to smell.

This is not the case with leather sofas. Wiping them down once a week with a damp cloth and treating them with a solution that protects leather once a year will keep them looking like new!
