leather furniture
I'll be moving from Austin to Houston in a month and the wife and I are going to be doing a furniture upgrade.
I love the look and feel of leather couches, the wife doesn't, and the reason is that you stick to leather. At least, you stick to the leather in my car.
Is this true of all leather couches?

We have one. Not my experience. Of course the more sweaty your skin...well...then yes I guess. Overall I LOVE my leather couch. Very nice.
Be careful though...and if you have already shopped you'll know this..."leather" is a broad term meaning that there is an incredibly wide range of leathers from the kind I would never let any kid (mine included) near...to pretty sturdy varieties. The much softer varieties (less sturdy) also less "sticky".
Don't know if you have kids...but that may affect your choices.
Also...painted vs. stained are different things.
Good luck. Have fun.
I have a leather chair at home and, well, I stick to it during the summer. But, Houston isn't known for it's *arid* climate, so I surmise that it's caused by the humidity.
On the other hand, have you looked at "micro-fiber" couches? The look and feel like suede, but are synthetic (and therefore easily cleaned). The wife and I bought one about a year ago, and it's da b0mb!

Without a doubt. I do not allow it to go above 75 degrees in any weather.
If I can keep it ~70 I'm a happy guy.

HELL YEAH!
Thanks for the feedback, everyone.
Leather couches don't stain easily and cleaning them is a snap. With leather you just have to choose the right design...well hell with "any" couch you have to choose the right design. Put your foot down and exert your dominance here Grove. She's got "bling bling" on the finger now I'm sure she wouldn't mind you getting a nice couch to watch some UT sports :P
Italian Leather Sofa
She doesn't care whether or not he's an island
She doesn't care just as long as his ship's coming in
She doesn't care whether or not he's an island
They laugh they make money
He's got a gold watch
She's got a silk dress and healthy breasts
that bounce on his Italian leather sofa.
She doesn't care whether or not he's a good man
She doesn't care just as long as she still has her friends
She doesn't care whether or not he's an island
they laugh, they make money
He's got a gold watch
She's got a silk dress and healthy breasts
That bounce on his Italian leather sofa
She's got a serrated edge
that she moves back and forth
It's such a simple machine she doesn't have to use force
When she gets what she wants,
she puts the rest on a tray in a ziplock bag
[REPEAT]

I have a leather reading chair that is very possibly the best purchase I ever made. I avoid sticking to it by a) living somewhere that isn't tropical and b) wearing clothes.
Which makes me question the premise of the Cake song...
This thread was last active almost 2 years ago!
Fare-trade hemp grown on sustainable plantations that provide an economic alternative to rainforest devastating subsistence agriculture.
But that's OK, you just go ahead and get that leather sofa so the PAIN AND TERROR OF A SLAUGHTERED FELLOW CREATURE CAN LEACH INTO YOUR ASS EVERY TIME YOU SIT DOWN.
Which I'm pretty sure causes cancer. Of the ass.
If you went ahead and got that sofa I would get yourself to an ass doctor, ASAP. Murderer.
What? This all happened two years ago? Never mind. Although.....

Native Americans were assholes. And murderers. Good riddance, I say.
