First touch it with your hands. The leather of a genuine cowhide sofa feels better, and the touched area will quickly return to its original appearance. If the leather sofa is made of PVC material, it will not feel so soft and comfortable. A leather sofa will quickly return to its original shape after sitting on it and then standing up because of its good elasticity, but a PVC leather sofa will not recover so quickly.

Then watch. First, look at the surface of the leather. If the skin lines are very regular, it means it is fake leather, that is, PVC artificial leather. The skin texture of the dermis is irregular, because cows will experience a lot in their lives. The skin may be damaged by branches and other foreign objects during the growth process, which will leave some marks. In addition, the skin texture must be irregular. Like a human palm, the palm prints are thick, thin and bifurcated. The next step is to look at the back of the leather. There are hairs on the back of the genuine leather. If not, it means it is not genuine leather. Genuine leather is more durable and does not fade easily. After using it for a long time, it will shine where you often sit. However, PVC artificial leather does not last long and is easy to crack and fade.

The above is the simplest way to distinguish between genuine and fake leather sofas. However, leather sofas are also divided into imported and domestic ones, and imported leather sofas are also divided into first-layer leather and second-layer leather. In the above method, in addition to the hairiness on the back, it can prove that it is genuine leather, but if it is not high-quality leather, it depends on the skin texture on the surface. Irregular skin texture can prove that it is the top layer of leather and is high-quality leather. Not all leather sofas are made of leather. Only the sitting position, backrest and armrests are made of leather. The back, sides and feet of the sofa are still made of PVC artificial leather.
