Beautiful Ekornes Leather Types and Information

Learn about the finest leather available that is incorporated into leather Ekornes Stressless Recliners and Ekornes Furniture. Smooth, silky to the touch, durable and extremely comfortable- Common words used to describe the most stimulating leather options available on leather Stressless recliners and Ekornes furniture.

Ekornes inspectors incorporate a rigorous selection process, which includes the most stringent international standards as a very minimum requirement for controlling the leather quality. Our customers constantly tell us that after owning a leather Stressless recliner or Ekornes leather furniture piece, no other leather will do (of course we feel the same way).

Ekornes hand selects its leather from the highest quality tanneries around the world. Because leather is a natural product, color nuances are normal and colors will vary slightly from one product to another (this only adds to the customized nature of owning a Stressless. Some Ekornes or Stressless colors are enhanced with a two-tone effect which makes the resulting leather even more beautiful.

Standard Factors for Ekornes® Leathers

• Top Grain selected from around the world
• Aniline-Dyed to maintain integrity for years and years
• Protection- Durable and virtually maintenance free (Ekornes leather conditioner is all you'll need)

Common Attributes in All Ekornes® Leathers

• All Ekornes leather colors are through-dyed.
• Some colors have been enhanced with a two-tone effect (e.g. Chocolate Paloma).
• Some colors are shinier than others.
• Color nuances are normal and add to the recliner characteristics.
• Leather absorbs moisture and breathes. Treating your new Stressless Recliner or Ekornes furniture with the enclosed leather conditioner (included with your Stressless order) will keep your recliner safe from common stains and looking like new.
• Color changes will occur with time as a result of use and the effect of light or UV rays. As with most fine leather and fabrics, we advise folks to not position their leather furniture in direct sunlight if possible.

Ekornes® offers four types of leather- each in a full range of colors.

Royalin Most exclusive (and more expensive) Great Hand Natural appearance / Rich grain pattern Is thicker than Paloma Soft to the touch, with a warm glow A "taste of coating"

The heaviest and most exclusive Ekornes® leather type. Royalin is an aniline-dyed, upholstery leather with a natural pebbled grain with visible natural marks. A very light surface treatment has been added for protection. A natural leather that breathes well, Royalin has a soft feel and a rich, warm glow. "Some customers tell us that this leather is so smooth that they can't believe that it's really leather."

Paloma Natural grain/Visible natural marks Soft, rich, friendly feel More protection Wide range of colors

Our most popular Ekornes leather (and our own favorite). Paloma is an aniline-dyed upholstery leather with a combination of dyes and pigments in the finish. Paloma has a natural grain pattern with visible natural marks. The light finishing treatment improves the physical properties and provides a more standard, uniform color. Paloma has been developed to produce a very soft, rich and friendly feel. Paloma is the preferred choice for those who want a soft, authentic look in leather that breathes well.

Classic Less corrected than Batick Thicker Cut Heavily embossed and Pronounced grain User Friendly

Classic is a corrected aniline-dyed, pigmented and grain-embossed upholstery leather that has a larger, pebbled grain and is thicker than Batick leather. Most of the natural marks are removed, but some may still be slightly visible. A protective layer of lacquer allows most types of spills to be easily removed. For this reason, Classic is a available option for many families with small children or relaxing pets.

Batick Corrected, embossed and dyed throughout Surface pigmented Uniform, durable surface Easily maintained

Batick is a corrected aniline-dyed, pigmented and grain-embossed upholstery leather, which has had most of its natural marks removed. The protective layer of lacquer allows spills to be easily removed. Easy to clean and priced well for budget-conscious relaxation-seekers, Batick is a popular choice for those who want a more resilient leather.
