In previous blogs, we have focused on different fabric options for your upholstered bed and headboard. In this blog, we will look at the application of leather in the construction of bed frames, while providing a few pointers as to why this might be the material of choice for you.

Leather Bed

What is leather?

We are sure you know the answer but, just in case, leather is a material created by tanning animal rawhides and skins. The most common raw material used cattle hide. The earliest record of such products dates back to 2200 BCE. Furthermore, it is one of the most versatile materials in the world, mainly due to its capacity to resist water or to be completely waterproof. Meanwhile, its softness is relative to its thickness: in other words, the thinner it is, the softer it will be.


Why leather in the bedroom?

As previously mentioned, leather can provide sleepers with the natural softness they are looking for. But it can also lend your bedroom the highly personalised statement you are looking for, with its offer of dramatic style, bold sophistication and enduring modernity. Moreover, soft furnishings perfectly complement the simplicity of this material and the colour palette it is available in. For example, to create a more contemporary look, you could match white leather upholstery with red or green.


Luxury at an affordable price

Our customers are increasing wanting to purchase leather beds from us, mainly because this fabric is associated with the utmost luxury without an expensive price tag. Indeed, a good quality leather bed is almost always cheaper than what our customers are expecting. More than that, choosing this kind of bed, in part due to its simplicity, can open up so many design ideas for your bedroom decor.

Put another way, leather beds can be as modern and sleek or as classic and traditional as you want. They are also available in a range of styles and colours, while bed frames using this material are as robust as other, more traditional upholstered models. That’s because you will find the underlying frames to be sturdy and made of wood, irrespective of the fabric upholstered over the top.

Easy to maintain

Compared with other fabrics used to upholster bed frames, leather is easy to maintain: a quick vacuum and a wipe with a damp cloth on a regular basis should be enough. Furthermore, rubbing appropriate conditioner twice a year into the leather will allow it to remain supple and prevent cracking.

Excellent Service and goods are of excellent quality, the only thing that would have made it better is if it came with screws to attach to the wall
