My previous set of sofa was made of geniune leather from Italy which I have bought from an international furniture fair in Singapore many years back. I experienced stickiness on warm day when I perspired. When I moved to a new place, I decided to get a fabric sofa and the experience was better. I heard that geniune leather sofas are more porous and etc....etc..but my experience tells me that no matter how porous 100% leather is, it will still be sticky and warm on a warm day cos our sweat will remain on the surface of the sofa and just imagine moving our thigh around sofa..more over, I have to leather oiled it twice a year and the smell of the oil and with kids around in my house, I dont think I want to expose them to the chemical. Now we just need to send our cushion covers for dry cleaning once a year or twice a year, no leather oil, no stickiness. Anyway, just a personal experience to share.....
