What Material are the Leather Chairs on the Car Made of?

The materials of car leather chairs usually include leather and imitation leather. Generally speaking, one kind is animal skin and the other is non animal skin. Leather is certainly more expensive than imitation leather, because leather is generally made of cowhide, sheepskin and pig skin. In the past, only high-end cars had leather seats. Now many car seats have leather and imitation leather. Of course, there must be a difference between the two.
The leather that car owners are familiar with includes all aniline leather, semi aniline leather and Napa leather, among which Napa leather is often regarded as the symbol of high-grade leather. In fact, Napa leather is not the name of leather, but a tanning process of softening leather. This kind of leather is breathable, fine and wear-resistant. So what are the advantages of this expensive leather seat?
Dirt resistance
Compared with ordinary seat materials, leather is not easy to get dirty. No one sits for a long time, and there is only a little dust.

Show grade
There is no doubt that leather seats are more elegant than fabric seats or other materials. Looking forward more than ten years, at that time, leather seats almost only appeared in imported cars of luxury brands.
 Easy to clean
Compared with the fabric seat, the dust can only fall on the surface of the leather seat and will not go deep into the depth of the seat. Therefore, the cleaning work can be completed by tapping with a cloth, or the stain can be wiped with a natural environment-friendly cleaner, and the seat will immediately take on a new look.


The imitation leather seat is characterized by smooth and delicate surface, concave convex pattern and fine density. The surface of leather seats is relatively rough, and the concave convex feeling is relatively deep. Intuitively, it will give people a sense of realism.
The quality and price of leather seats vary from hundreds to tens of thousands. This is only a layer of leather, and then a series of physical and chemical processes and tanning are required. In this way, it is natural that leather seats are more expensive. Leather seats are usually only used in luxury cars, because this will improve the overall grade of the car and make the price of the car higher.
