Faux Leather for Sofa & Furniture Upholstery
PU, microfiber, PVC, and silicone synthetic leather in rolls for sofa and furniture makers, made to your color, texture, and backing.
Specify by Zone, Not by Sofa
A sofa does not wear evenly, so one roll specification for the whole piece is rarely the best choice. Furniture makers who specify by zone get the right look where it shows and the right strength where it wears.
Seat cushion
Repeated sitting and rubbing
Abrasion resistance, backing strength
Backrest and arms
Skin contact, the most visible surface
Texture, color consistency, hand-feel
Sides and back panels
Less wear, large areas
Thickness and backing matched to lower wear
Seams and curves
Stitching and stretch
Backing stiffness, surface slip
Which Material for Which Sofa
Fuzhou Leather makes four constructions for upholstery. Choose by the look and the surface behavior you need:
PU leather
A wide range of hand-feels and finishes; solvent-based, water-based, solvent-free, and semi-PU

Replacing a material on an existing model?
Mail us a sample of the current material. We will make a counter-sample for your approval.
Send Your Current MaterialThinner builds drape over soft foam; thicker builds hold a firmer shape.
Knitted, woven, brushed, non-woven, or microfiber. The backing sets stretch, tear strength, and how the material sits over the frame.
Matte, semi-matte, glossy, two-tone, or distressed.
Custom embossing made to your sample or artwork.
Matched to your physical reference sample, not to a screen.
Planned per color. MOQ is 500–800 meters per color, depending on the material and product page.
What Happens in Your Cutting Room
A material that looks right on the roll still has to cut and sew well. Tell us how you cut, and we adjust the construction for it.
Cutting and skiving
Backing stiffness is adjusted for clean cuts.
Stitching
Surface slip is adjusted so the material feeds smoothly under the needle.
Embossed grain
A grain has a direction. Align panels the same way when you cut, so adjacent pieces read as one surface.
Padded panels
Foam lamination is available for cushioned areas.
Matching the Material on an Existing Model
Many furniture orders replace a material that is already in production. The route is short:
Send
A physical sample of the current material, or a color and texture reference.
Approve
We make a counter-sample for your sign-off.
Produce
Bulk rolls follow the approved sample, with production parameters fixed and recorded.
Reorder
A repeat order uses the same recorded specification, so a later run matches the first.
How We Check Upholstery Rolls
Finished rolls are tested for abrasion resistance, flex durability, and colorfastness. Each bulk batch is checked against your approved sample before packing by our 10-person QC team.
