Nubuck Leather
Nubuck leather is produced from full grain leathers. The grain is buffed to create a light surface nap. This can be adjusted to produce either a very fine nap or a longer, softer nap. Nubuck leather would be considered by most people to be the softest and most comfortable leather available. This leather, although its comfort appeal is very high, is a difficult leather to clean and repair and should only be attempted by a professional technician.
If you have young children or pets and are looking for furniture that will hold up in a family room or dining room setting with frequent use of food or drink, this type of leather should not be on the short list of leathers you are considering to purchase. However, if you are looking for an ideal leather for a sitting room, formal living room, and possibly a formal dining room, Nubuck leather can supply all the charm and aesthetics that you are looking for in your home decorating motif.
