Types of Leather Explained
| Type | What it is | Feel / Ageing | Care |
|---|---|---|---|
| Full-grain | Natural top surface of the hide | Natural character, develops patina | Condition periodically |
| Saddle | Robust leather traditionally used in saddlery | Strong, structured hand | Condition; avoid harsh sun |
| Aniline | Dyed with little surface coating | Soft, natural look; shows marks | Gentle care; sensitive to sun |
| Semi-aniline | Light protective layer | Balance of look and practicality | Easier everyday care |
| Nabuk | Buffed surface | Soft, suede-like | Specialist cleaning |
Leather Sofas in the Cyprus Climate
Leather performs well in air-conditioned Cyprus homes when kept out of harsh direct sun. Without cooling, leather can feel warmer than fabric in peak summer. Strong sunlight can fade sensitive aniline and nabuk finishes, while dry winter air-conditioning can dry leather if it is never conditioned.
We help you choose the right leather grade for sunny rooms, coastal homes and air-conditioned spaces, and we provide care guidance at delivery.
Leather Care
Dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. Keep leather away from harsh direct sun and approximately 50 cm from strong heat sources or air-conditioning vents where practical. Condition the leather according to its specific grade. We supply the manufacturer’s care notes with every order.

Leather Sofas FAQs
-
Full-grain leather uses the natural top surface of the hide and develops a rich patina over time. Top-grain leather has been sanded and finished for a more uniform look and greater stain resistance.
-
Prolonged exposure to harsh direct sunlight can dry and eventually crack leather, especially aniline and nabuk finishes. Position the sofa out of strong direct sun and condition it periodically.
-
Full-grain and semi-aniline leathers are more practical with pets than delicate aniline or nabuk. Sharp claws can still leave marks. We advise on the most durable options.
-
Dust regularly with a soft cloth. Blot spills immediately. Use only products recommended for your specific leather type. Avoid harsh cleaners.
