Leather & Faux Leather Beds: Luxury or the best of both worlds...?

There has always been a certain appeal to leather; any item made of leather carries with it a luxury status, an opulence even, from the lowliest leather bookmark to the shiny new car on the drive, always arriving complete with that "new leather smell".

These I’m sure are some of the reasons real leather upholstered beds are to this day one of our best selling ranges, especially with beds such as the Eclipse and Orbit, or the new Mira and Capella for example.

However there has been another option available for quite a while now, with the look, feel and general appeal of real leather, but without some of the drawbacks – Faux Leather, with beds such as the Pulsar bed and the aptly named Faux Leather Bed all being made of that material.

You see real leather, being a natural product, needs some care and attention form time to time, in the form of a little "hide food" to stop it getting dry and cracked in its old age, faux leather however doesn’t need this, being man made, however, it doesn’t have that wonderful leather smell either!

The prices differ less than you might think between real and faux leather beds, though in terms of value for money faux leather still wins, albeit only just.

I love leather, and that’s why I sleep on a faux leather bed, That way I get the best of both worlds!
