Leather types

In general, leather is sold in three forms:

  • Full-grain leather or top-grain is referring to the upper section of a hide that contains the epidermis or skin layer. It refers to hides that have not been sanded, buffed or snuffed(otherwise known as Corrected) in order to remove imperfections on the surface of the hide. Only the hair has been removed from the epidermis. The grain remains in its natural state which will allow the best fiber strength, resulting in greater durability. The natural grain also has natural breathability, resulting in greater comfort for clothing. The natural full-grain surface will wear better than other leather. Rather than wearing out, it will develop a natural patina and change in its appearance over time. The finest leather furniture and footwear are made from full-grain leather. For these reasons only the best raw hide are used in order to create full-grain or top-grain leather. Full grain leathers can mainly be bought as two finish types: aniline and semi-aniline.
  • Corrected-grain leather is any top-grain leather that has had its surfaces sanded, buffed or snuffed in order to remove any imperfection on the surface due to insect bites, healed scars or brands. Top-grain leather is often wrongly referred to as corrected-grain. Although corrected-grain leather is made from top-grain as soon as the surface is corrected in any way the leather is no longer referred to as top-grain leather. The hides used to create corrected leather are hides of inferior quality that do not meet the high standards for use in creating aniline or semi-aniline leather. The imperfections are corrected and an artificial grain applied. Most corrected-grain leather is used to make pigmented leather as the solid pigment helps hide the corrections or imperfections. Corrected grain leathers can mainly be bought as two finish types: semi-aniline and pigmented.
  • Split leather is leather created from the fibrous part of the hide left once the top-grain of the rawhide has been separated from the hide. During the splitting operation, the grain and drop split are separated. The drop split can be further split (thickness allowing) into a middle split and a flesh split. In very thick hides, the middle split can be separated into multiple layers until the thickness prevents further splitting. Split leather then has an artificial layer applied to the surface of the split and is embossed with a leather grain. Splits are also used to create suede. The strongest suedes are usually made from grain splits (that have the grain completely removed) or from the flesh split that has been shaved to the correct thickness. Suede is "fuzzy" on both sides. Suede is less durable than top-grain. Suede is cheaper because many pieces of suede can be split from a single thickness of hide, whereas only one piece of top-grain can be made. However, manufacturers use a variety of techniques to make suede appear to be full-grain. For example, in one operation, glue is mixed with one side of the suede, which is then pressed through rollers; these flatten and even out one side of the material, giving it the smooth appearance of full-grain. Latigo is one of the trade names for this product. A reversed suede is a grained leather that has been designed into the leather article with the grain facing away from the visible surface. It is not a true form of suede.

The International Union of Leather Technologists and Chemist Societies has a glossary of leather terms that can be found at IULTCS.

Tips for a good night’s sleep
 

Nothing affects your quality of life more than the way you sleep. It's a simple truth: better nights means better days. Get the facts to help ensure you wake up refreshed, rejuvenated and ready for the day.

Common mattress questions

How can I tell if its time for a new mattress?

If your mattress is visibly sagging in the middle, it is past time for a new mattress. Also, pay attention to your body. If you are in pain after sleeping or can’t sleep as well as you used to, there is a good chance your mattress is to blame. Rotating and flipping your mattress helps prolong its life and prevent sagging.

Is a latex mattress diffrent from a memory foam mattress?  

Yes, latex and memory foam are different, though they have many of the same characteristics. Latex does not react to heat like memory foam, which means it is more resilient and pushes back against your body. Some memory foam mattresses actually have a little latex mixed in to add a bit of resilience.

What if my memory foam changes colors?

Memory foam will go through some discoloration when exposed to direct natural light. This will not affect its performance. Keep your memory foam mattress or mattress topper away from direct sunlight to avoid discoloration.
