While faux leather or pleather as it is sometimes called can look like real leather, nothing beats out real top grain leather for comfort. Easily cleaned with the right cleaner, leather gives and breathes in a way unequaled by any manufactured cover. Commonly available in brown, black or white, a real leather recliner can be the leading feature in your study or den. It doesnt have to be reserved for the man cave. It works perfectly well in more feminine or family venues.
