Buying a bean bag chair these days is buying a piece of furniture that veers towards the luxury end of casual living and the materials used in the manufacture of these chairs reflect this. However, although real leather is lovely to sink into and for many of us there is no alternative, faux leather can be just as luxurious and look like the real McCoy but at half the price.
Apart from the cost, there are also other considerations to buying faux leather bean bag chairs rather than real. For the growing number of us being or choosing to become vegetarian, buying anything in leather can be an anathema whereas buying faux leather provides the same luxurious quality without the emotional baggage that goes with it. Another reason to choose faux leather is that it is more suited to the nursery and heavy duty family living where spillages are common.
These days anything fake is not immediately detectable and certainly not uncomfortable. Many faux leathers are made from cotton with only a thin polymer coating which gives it the breathing quality of real leather as well as its softness and suppleness. It also ages like leather to take on an attractive worn appearance over time without losing any of its strength.
Leather bean bag chairs are increasingly regarded as the higher end of furniture production and can very easily merge in with leather three piece suites to complete the leather look in your house or apartment. However, they are more expensive and with faux leather versions coming in a very comparable second both in price and quality, the leather look can still be achieved but for a fraction of the price.
