When deciding to purchase a new couch, a big part of the buying decision comes down to the longevity of the couch. Leather sofas last much longer than typical fabric couches, but in reality, there are many variables to consider.
Leather couches, leather sofa suites and leather recliners are a classic addition to any home, in particular your living room. They’ve been used through the centuries and remain a popular choice. This is no surprise considering the amount of style and comfort that leather sofasbring into a living room.
Leather sofas can last anywhere from 5 years to a lifetime. The amount of time that your couch will last depends on a few factors such as the type and quality of the leather used to craft the leather furniture piece as well as how it is cared for and maintained.

The lifespan of your leather couch is dependent on the type of leather you purchased. You always want to choose genuine leather home furniture.
