4 Reasons to Choose a Leather Corner Suite When You Have Kids

Posted on

Adding a corner suite to your home can work perfectly when you have kids. Corner suites give the whole family room to sit and socialize together, and they provide a perfect space in the middle where young children can play under your direct supervision. Of course, there are still a few decisions to make even after you decide on a corner suite, and one of the most important is whether to go for leather or fabric.

This is likely to prove an even more important decision when you have children. Since leather suites tend to be more expensive, many parents assume they aren't the best choice. However, leather suites actually offer several compelling benefits that can make them ideal for families.

Here are just four.

1. More Robust

Children have so much energy, and they don't tend to be very careful when they're expending it. As such, it makes sense to pick furniture that can put up with plenty of abuse. Leather will come out ahead of fabric in this regard. It's a much tougher and more durable material, so leather sofas will retain their shape and resist damage even after kids have jumped all over them. That means you'll be less likely to need a replacement in a few years.

2. Easier to Clean

One of the most compelling reasons to choose leather over fabric for your furniture is that leather is considerably easier to clean, and this is obviously going to prove an even more important factor if you have younger children. If they ever have an accident on your sofa or knock something over, you can simply wipe a leather sofa down to have it looking as good as new. In contrast, a fabric sofa will absorb liquids and take stains easily, so even one minor spill can ruin its appearance forever.

3. Hypoallergenic

Children often suffer from allergies, and they tend to be more vulnerable to allergens in furniture than adults since their faces are closer to the material. Fabric sofas can be a problem since they can trap things like pet dander, dust, and dust mites. This shouldn't be a problem with leather sofas since the impermeable surface makes it very hard for allergens to gain a foothold.

4. Odour Resistant

Even if a fabric sofa looks fine, everything the fabric absorbs over time can lead to unpleasant odours. Children tend to introduce certain ill-smelling bodily fluids to furniture when they are young, and they are also more likely to drop bits of food or spills drinks. Even if a fabric sofa isn't stained, it can develop odours over time. With leather sofas, this shouldn't be a problem.
