What is Microfiber Leather?
Microfiber leather, also known as microfiber synthetic leather, is a high-tech imitation of natural leather, made from microfiber non-woven fabric coated with a high-performance polyurethane resin.
It is a popular choice for those seeking a high-quality, sustainable alternative to traditional leather.

It’s wear-resistant, suitable for various long-lasting applications like upholstery, fashion, and automotive interiors.
This eco-friendly alternative to traditional synthetics like PVC boasts lower emissions and energy use in production.
Being synthetic, it offers comfort and breathability akin to natural leather.
Additionally, it’s easy to maintain, resisting water and stains better than real leather.



Microfiber Leather Compositon & Thickness Guide
1. Composition and Performance
Microfiber leather is composed of two main parts:
Microfibers (Base Fabric): This accounts for about 60-70% of the material. It’s made from fine nylon or polyester fibers that replicate the fiber structure of natural leather, offering flexibility and breathability.

PU Resin Coating: Making up the remaining 30-40%, this coating adds the soft touch, abrasion resistance, water resistance, and gives microfiber leather its leather-like appearance.

2. Thickness 
The thickness of microfiber leather can vary depending on the intended use:
Sofas and Chair Upholstery: Typically, 1.2mm – 1.5mm thick. This balance of flexibility and durability ensures comfort without compromising strength.
Backrests or Decorative Upholstery: For a sleek look, the thickness can be between 0.8mm – 1.2mm.
Heavy-Duty Furniture (e.g., Dining Chairs): These pieces usually require 1.5mm – 2.0mm thickness for added durability.



Microfiber Leather Abrasion & Weight Guide
1. Abrasion Resistance 
What really sets microfiber leather apart is its abrasion resistance:
Standard Furniture Use: Microfiber leather for furniture is often tested to withstand over 30,000 cycles in Martindale or Taber tests, ensuring long-lasting use.

Microfiber leather comes in a range of weights depending on the project:
300g/m² to 500g/m²: Most standard applications for furniture. The higher the grammage, the denser and thicker the material.

A higher weight usually means more durability, but it might affect the softness slightly. For furniture that’s both soft and long-lasting, it’s important to balance both.


Key Factors to Consider When Selecting Microfiber Leather
Quality Standards : Always check the abrasion resistance and grammage to ensure the material can handle high-use environments.
If the project involves heavy-duty furniture (like restaurant seating), choose a high-abrasion grade.

Customization Options : Whether it’s a hotel room or a residential sofa, select a material that fits the design style of your space. Look for materials that are easy to maintain and available in a variety of textures and finishes.

Certifications : For commercial use, especially in hotels or restaurants, you’ll want materials that meet fire safety standards such as BS5852, CA117, or Crib5.



Why Choose Microfiber Leather?
Whether you're a furniture designer, a hotel project manager, or a real estate developer, understanding this microfiber material can give you a significant edge when selecting the best upholstery options.

Durability : Microfiber leather is highly resistant to wear and tear, making it perfect for high-traffic areas like hotels, restaurants, and residential projects.

Easy to Clean : One of the biggest selling points is its low maintenance. Just a quick wipe, and it looks as good as new!

Eco-friendly : Unlike traditional leather, which involves animal products, microfiber leather is cruelty-free and more sustainable, which is great for companies focusing on green initiatives.

It’s primarily made of ultra-fine fibers (mostly nylon or polyester) that are densely woven and then coated with a layer of PU resin to give it a durable, leather-like finish. This makes it one of the most versatile and durable materials available today!
