Synthetic Leather for Sofa Applications

Overview

Our sofa leather materials are designed to support mass production, repeat orders, and long-term supply, making them suitable for both premium and large-volume furniture manufacturing.

Sofa upholstery places high demands on material appearance, comfort, durability, breathability, and long-term stability. As a synthetic leather material manufacturer, FUZHOU provides application-oriented leather solutions for sofa manufacturers, balancing visual quality, physical performance, environmental compliance, and cost control.

Suitable Synthetic Leather Materials for Sofas

01.Solvent-Based PU Leather

Solvent-based PU leather is a high-performance synthetic leather with an appearance and texture close to natural leather. It is produced using high-performance PU resin and organic solvents through controlled coating and finishing processes.

This material offers excellent softness, wear resistance, breathability, and durability, and supports a wide range of surface patterns and textures according to customer requirements. It is widely used in high-end furniture sofas where visual quality and physical performance are critical.

02.Water-Based PU Leather

Water-based PU leather uses water as the primary solvent instead of traditional organic solvents. It supports various printing techniques, including digital printing and screen printing, allowing greater design flexibility.

Thanks to its low odor, improved environmental performance, good flame retardancy, and excellent breathability, water-based PU leather is highly recommended for high-end sofas with stricter environmental and indoor air quality requirements.

Compared to solvent-based PU, it is more eco-friendly, more comfortable, and safer, though typically at a higher material cost.

03.Solvent-Free PU Leather

Solvent-free PU leather is produced using 100% solid PU resin without diluents, processed through advanced extrusion equipment. This process achieves zero VOC emissions and no toxic solvents, meeting the highest environmental expectations.

With its stable physical performance and clean production process, solvent-free PU leather is widely applied in premium furniture sofas that prioritize sustainability, safety, and long-term material stability.

04.Semi-PU Synthetic Leather

Semi-PU synthetic leather combines a durable PVC base layer with a thin PU surface coating, offering a practical balance between durability, appearance, and cost efficiency.

It provides better hand feel than pure PVC while maintaining higher structural strength at a controlled price point. Semi-PU is commonly used in mid-range sofas and furniture, as well as automotive interiors, footwear, bags, and other consumer products.
