Leather Upholstery | Sofas, Chairs & Footstools at Whitmore Jones
Leather Upholstery at Whitmore Jones
Elegant, durable, and timeless leather pieces made for real life. If you are looking for leather sofas, chairs or footstools, you want something that adds class, holds up to wear, is easier to clean, and suits your home style. Our leather upholstery range is built to solve the problems many people face: cracked or stiff leather, awkward proportions, squeaky recliners, and colour mismatch.
Common Leather Upholstery Issues We Solve
Leather that cracks, dries or gets stiff — Many leather pieces use lower grade leather that loses suppleness. We pick high quality hides and finishes that stay soft, survive regular use, and age gracefully.
Colour mismatch or fading in sunlight — Leather tones vary and light changes them. Our collection offers a wide range of natural & dyed leather colours, and we show pieces in showroom lighting so you can see tones in real-life settings.
Uncomfortable or squeaky recliners & mechanisms — If you have power or manual recline, shaky or noisy mechanisms destroy comfort. We only select models with tested, durable mechanisms so recline adds comfort, not issues.
Wrong sofa size or shape for room layout — Leather sofas can dominate a room if scale is off. Our sizes include large 4-seaters, 3-seaters, compact 2-seaters, corners, and matching chairs or footstools so you can pick what fits.
Hard to clean surfaces or maintenance problems — While leather is easier to wipe than many fabrics, spills and oils still take a toll. We provide leather treated for stain resistance or easier cleaning and give care advice so your piece stays looking good.

Yes in many ways. Spills can be wiped off quickly, and leather does not absorb liquids as easily as some fabrics. However it still needs care — avoid sharp objects, use conditioner, protect from direct sunlight.
What leather finish types do you offer?
We offer full grain, top grain, corrected grain or bonded leather finishes depending on price point and usage. Each has pros and cons in look, durability and cost. Our showroom can show samples so you can compare feels and finishes.
Does leather fade or crack over time?
It can if exposed to direct strong sunlight or not conditioned. We select hides with good tanning and finish, and we advise care routines so your furniture ages well.
How do I choose the right size for a leather sofa?
Measure your room, leave space for walking around, consider doorways and stairs for delivery access. Also think about proportions — depth, seat height, and whether a corner or a standard layout works best.
What warranties or guarantees are there for leather furniture?
We provide manufacturer warranty on frames, skin finish and movable parts. Specific periods vary by product. Check individual product pages for warranty details.
