Have you ever wondered if La-Z-Boy Recliners are built with real leather?

In this article, we’ll answer the question, “Are La-Z-Boy Recliners built with real leather?”
What Does La-Z-Boy Consider Real Leather?
We consider genuine or real leather to be made out of 100% cowhide.
When genuine leather is processed at the factory, the cowhide is cut into two equal sections.
- Top Half = Top Grain Leather
- Bottom Half = Split Hide Leather
Top grain leather is buttery soft, highly durable, and breathable enough to keep your body from getting too hot or cold.
Split hide leather is slightly thicker and rougher to the touch. But it looks great and is often used on the sides and backs of furniture.
Both of these types of leather are considered 100% genuine because they are made from the whole skin of the animal.
Are La-Z-Boy Recliners Built With Real Leather?
Yes! La-Z-Boy Recliners are built with top grain leather along with split hide leather.
Everywhere your body touches will be upholstered with buttery soft top grain leather.
Then we will use split hide leather on the sides and back of your recliner.
Does La-Z-Boy Use Bonded Leather?
Bonded leather is made with bits of genuine leather that fall off during processing.
This type of leather isn’t as durable as genuine cowhide. However, it is much cheaper.
At La-Z-Boy Home Furnishings & Décor, we offer bonded leather options for customers who want the look of real leather at a fraction of the price.
In the long run, saving your money and selecting one of our genuine leathers instead will turn out to be a better investment.
