Things You Need to Know
Before buying any sofa, here’s what you need to know to ensure it meets your needs and is worth the price you pay.
Most Leather Sofas are Made Of "Genuine Leather".
In reality, most leather sofas on the market are made of PU leather, which simply put, is PLASTIC.
Leather sofa will "crack", "peel", and it is "hard to maintain".
A PU leather sofa will crack and peel as the plastic hardens over time. Maintaining a genuine leather sofa is simple—just wipe the surface with pure lotion.
Genuine leather sofa is expensive.
At Sofa Library, customers can enjoy full genuine leather sofas at affordable prices because we are the manufacturer—NO middlemen, NO hidden costs.
How Does Sofa Library Keep Prices Low?
We can achieve ZERO MARKUP from retail to homeowners as we own the manufacturing line. We manufacture and ship leather sofa to 26 countries including those in Europe, the USA, Australia, New Zealand and more.
We began selling our sofas directly to Malaysian homeowners in 2020, removing the need for sofa dealers and eliminating retail profit margins to keep prices low.
So, how can you identify the differences between full genuine leather, semi genuine leather, and PU leather?
Low prices = low quality?
Now, let's talk about quality!
At Sofa Library, we focus 100% on our sofa manufacturing process to ensure the best quality in our product.

Our Leather
Softer, Smoother Texture with Italian Genuine Bovine Leather
All of our sofas are made of premium Italian genuine bovine leather from cattle, not buffalo. Each piece undergoes meticulous quality control, where skin imperfections are removed before being evenly spray-painted.
Bovine leather vs. buffalo leather, what's the difference?
Our Sofa Frame
Durable Structure with Solid Meranti and Pine Wood
Our sofa frames are made from solid Meranti and pine wood, carefully processed and treated to prevent pest damage. Any contaminated wood batches are completely eliminated to ensure the integrity of our products.
Our Sofa Mechanism
Silent and Space-Saving German Technology
We use the latest silent motorised inclination mechanism from OKIN, Germany. Unlike a recliner, the incliner mechanism allows you to place your sofa directly against the wall, as no extra space is needed for the backrest to tilt backward.
Leather sofa is "hot".
Genuine Leather is NOT HOT.
Made from real cow skin, it has a layer of fibres underneath, and smooth pores on top. Even without air conditioning, it won’t feel warm and sticky like PU leather.
