Reasons to love leather

Outlasts fabric 4 to 1

Leather is naturally strong and resilient, lasting up to four times longer than
fabric upholstery. With a life expectancy of 15–20 years, it’s an investment
in enduring comfort.

Leather breathes naturally, staying cool in the summer and cozy in the
winter — ensuring all-season comfort in every setting

The natural oils within leather prevent cracking, flaking, and peeling, even at stress points like
seams

Over time, leather becomes even softer and more luxurious while maintaining its structure and rich
texture.

Each hide is finished with specialized dyes that penetrate deep into the grain, maintaining rich tones throughout years of use.

A quick dusting or gentle wipe keeps it looking pristine — no complicated care routines required.

Types of Leather — Choose thePerfect Fit for Your Lifestyle

At La-Z-Boy, we offer a curated selection of premium leather types designed for every lifestyle — from active family homes to refined, formal interiors. Each type showcases natural beauty while ensuring long-term comfort and easy care.

PERFORMANCE

Performance Leathers are crafted to endure the everyday demands of modern living. Perfect for families and homes with children or pets, these top-grain hides undergo specialized treatments for added protection and consistency.

  • Description: Designed for durability, these leathers combine strength with softness, standing up to daily wear without losing their luxurious touch.
  • Characteristics: Subtle textures and uniform color achieved through modern techniques such as embossing, protective coatings, and corrective finishes.
  • Benefits: Exceptionally easy to maintain with a quick wipe, Performance Leather offers long-lasting beauty and a supple, comfortable feel that suits any space

AUTHENTIC

For those who value individuality and craftsmanship, Authentic Leather (also known as Full Aniline) offers a one-of-a-kind appeal.

  • Description: Each hide is a masterpiece of nature, showcasing its natural markings, character, and unique texture.
  • Characteristics: Enhanced with pure, transparent dyes that highlight the leather’s distinctive grain, wrinkles, and scars — every piece tells its own story.
  • Benefits: Naturally soft and durable, Authentic Leather develops a beautiful patina over time, growing richer and more inviting the longer you own it.

PERFORMANCE vs AUTHENTIC

The difference lies in preparation and purpose. Performance Leathers are gently corrected and treated to handle the rigors of daily use, making them perfect for high-traffic living spaces. Authentic Leathers, on the other hand, remain closer to their natural state — ideal for those who prefer genuine character, texture, and artistry.

Both are finished with La-Z-Boy’s specialized coatings for added protection while preserving the natural elegance and tactile warmth of real leather.

Leather Care & Maintenance — Keeping Your La-Z-Boy Beautiful for Years

At La-Z-Boy, we believe that genuine top grain leather deserves the same care and respect as any fine natural material. When properly maintained, leather not only retains its elegance and strength — it becomes even more beautiful over time.

Our Leather Recliners, Recliner Sofas, and Power Recliners are made from premium- quality hides designed to age gracefully. With a little regular attention, they’ll reward you with decades of comfort and timeless style.

General Care Guidelines
Leather is a living material that breathes, flexes, and adapts. To help it maintain its rich texture and color:
•Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure to sunlight or intense light can fade the color of your leather. Keep your furniture away from large windows, radiators, and heat sources.
• Allow Natural Ventilation: Leather benefits from airflow. Avoid tightly covering it with plastic or heavy fabric for extended periods. • Handle with Care: Treat your furniture with the same respect you would fine wood — avoid sharp objects and abrasive cleaning tools.

Regular Maintenance
The best way to protect your La-Z-Boy Leather Recliner or sofa is through gentle, consistent maintenance: • Dusting: Use a soft, lint-free cloth to dust weekly. For light cleaning, slightly dampen the cloth with distilled water to remove surface dirt. • Vacuuming: Occasionally use a soft brush attachment to remove debris from creases and stitching. • Conditioning: Leather naturally contains oils that preserve flexibility. Conditioning every 6–12 months with an approved leather moisturizer will keep it supple and prevent drying or cracking. Pro Tip: Never use harsh soaps, alcohol, waxes, or oil-based cleaners — these can damage the protective coating and cause fading or peeling.

Deep Cleaning for Pigmented Leather
For a deeper clean, especially on pigmented leathers used in our Performance Leather collections, follow these simple steps:
1. Mix a mild soap such as Neutrogena or Dove with distilled water in equal parts.
2. Using a soft, damp sponge, gently work up a foam and clean the surface without excessive rubbing.
3. Wipe away residue with a clean, damp cloth.
4. Blot dry with a soft white towel and allow to air dry naturally — never use heat to speed up drying.
If stains persist, we recommend consulting a professional leather cleaning service for safe, specialized care.
Note: Always test your cleaning method on a hidden area first. Lighter shades may require more frequent maintenance due to their natural finish and openness to environmental light.

Maintaining Shade and Finish
Each hide used in a La-Z-Boy product has its own unique grain, tone, and character — these are the hallmarks of authentic top grain leather. Over time, minor shade variations or softening of color are normal signs of aging and use.
To preserve the evenness of your leather:
• Rotate seat cushions periodically for uniform wear.
• Maintain room humidity between 40–55% to prevent drying.
• Wipe spills promptly with a soft, absorbent cloth to avoid discoloration.

Understanding La-Z-Boy Top Grain Leather

Every piece of La-Z-Boy leather furniture is crafted from the topmost layer of the hide — the finest and most durable portion. This level of quality ensures:
• Superior Strength: Top grain leather lasts three to five times longer than most upholstery fabrics, resisting tears and stress with natural elasticity. • Comfort That Adapts: Its breathable fibers regulate temperature, staying cool in the summer and warm in the winter. • Natural Beauty: Subtle healed scars, wrinkles, and color variations add to its charm — proof that it’s genuine leather, not imitation.
Top grain leather is more than a material — it’s a statement of refinement and quality that only improves with age.

The Hallmark of Genuine Leather
Like fine wood or marble, genuine leather cannot be replicated. Its texture, warmth, and evolving character are what make it truly special. Over time, your Leather Recliner will develop a soft sheen known as a patina — a natural sign of luxury that tells the story of your home and your comfort.

Quick Cleaning Tips
1. Always use a sponge or soft cloth — avoid friction or scrubbing.
2. Let leather dry naturally before using.
3. Never apply household cleaners, lanolin, saddle soap, hairspray, mink oil, silicone, or any chemical protectants — they can compromise the finish.
4. For stubborn stains, always consult a professional cleaner familiar with genuine leather care.

Your Investment in Comfort and Style
Owning a La-Z-Boy Leather Recliner is more than owning furniture — it’s investing in enduring craftsmanship. Like fine wine, genuine top grain leather matures with time, becoming softer, richer, and more inviting.
It’s why every La-Z-Boy piece is not just designed for today — it’s crafted for decades of use and timeless beauty.
