Faux Leather Sofa FAQs

• Is faux leather good for a sofa?

  Faux leather combines classic style with durability, for sofa styles that make an impressive statement. At Swyft, our faux leather sofas perform and feel exactly like the real thing, without the need for real hide. The result is a beautiful perch that's timeless in style, and long lasting. 

• How long does faux leather furniture last?

  We use the industry standard Martindale abrasion test to make sure all our faux leather sofas stand the test of time. Boasting a score of 45,000, you can be confident in the knowledge that Swyft faux leather sofas and sofa beds will hold up to whatever life throws at them. 

• Is faux leather real leather?

  In short, no. Leather is derived from animal hides, most commonly from cattle. Faux leather, on the other hand, is a man-made product which is often made up of a combination of strong cotton fibres, with a layer of PES (Polyester) that helps protect from wear and tear.

• Is faux leather durable for dogs?

  Yes- faux leather sofas are a great practical option for dog owners. Thanks to their soft surface, pesky hairs from shedding won't cling to the sofa, making lighter work of vacuuming as opposed to a fabric sofa. In addition, choosing a faux leather sofa can eliminate or significantly reduce pet odours. This is especially useful if you've got more than one dog.
