La-Z-Boy® Top Grain Leather

La-Z-Boy® and leather: An investment in comfort and style.

Genuine top grain leather is always in style. Like fine wines, leather matures with age. The longer you own it, the more comfortable it becomes. Leather is more than just a good financial investment ... it's an investment in enduring comfort. 

The best quality leathers are taken from the top layer of the hide. The premium surface quality is known as "top grain". Nature itself has worked into the texture of every piece of genuine leather small healed scars and scratches that are the true hallmarks of quality. 

How durable is genuine top grain leather furniture?

Genuine top grain leather is one of the strongest materials known to man, lasting three to five times longer than fabric. Nature has created leather's physical structure by building up millions of coil-like molecules into tiny fibrous strands, twisting the strands together into bundles of fibers, and finally interweaving the fibers into an incredible random weave that defies wear and stress, tears, and punctures. 

How comfortable is leather?

Because of leather's natural physical structure, it "breathes." This means that unlike many man-made fabrics, leather is comfortable to the touch ... even on hot sticky days. It is fresh in the summer and cozy in the winter. It is also flexible under weight pressure. And when you combine these qualities with the comfort found only in La-Z-Boy® products ... you've discovered the ultimate in comfort! 

Top grain leather is the hallmark of quality.

It has a special texture and warmth. Like good wood or marble, leather can NEVER be imitated. Genuine leather, unlike many synthetics that come and go, will always be in style. 

Care and cleaning of your La-Z-Boy® natural leather product.

Using a clean white cloth, dampened with distilled water, gently pat the stain and area surrounding it to remove as much of the stain as possible. Allow to air dry. Repeat this process as needed. Do not expose to direct sunlight or heat. Periodic dusting or vacuuming is recommended for normal maintenance of the leather. 

Cleaning & Maintenance Instructions:

Leather is a natural material and, if properly cared for, will maintain its beauty and usefulness for many years.

Direct exposure to strong light can cause any leather color to fade, so always protect leather from direct sunlight and other intense light sources.  It is also advised that leather products be kept away from radiators or other generators of heat.

Maintenance: Periodic dusting and vacuuming is recommended for normal maintenance of leather.  For daily or weekly dusting use a soft clean lint free white cloth dampened with distilled water.

Cleaning: For deeper cleaning of pigmented leather, use a solution of one-half mild soap such as Neutrogena or Dove and one-half distilled water on a slightly dampened sponge working up a foam to clean.  Avoid excessive rubbing with a cloth. Repeat this process as needed. Blot any remaining soap residue with a clean white soft cloth or paper towel dampened with clear distilled water.  If stains or soiling persists consult a professional leather cleaning service.

Note: Always test-clean on a hidden area to confirm results.  The use of any commercial leather cleaners or leather protection may cause damage to the protective finish.  Lighter colors may require more frequency of maintenance than darker colors, depending on use.

Shade Standards: This leather will have shade variations.
