There are many types of leather and it is important to know how leathers differ from each other. There are two main types of leather, top grain and split. Cowhides are much too thick to be used as they are. They must be cut into layers in order to make them workable and comfortable. The smooth top layer of the hide is referred to as top grain. This leather is softer, smoother and more durable. The coarser lower layer of the hide is referred to as split leather. This type of leather should only be used on inexpensive chairs and items that will receive little traffic because split leather lacks good durability.

Leather upholstery is offered on almost all types of office chairs. Big and tall office chairs have become very popular in leather. Big and tall leather chairs are usually built for individuals weighing more than 250 lbs and/or over 6’6”. Make sure to check the weight rating on your big man leather chair prior to purchasing to make sure that the durability will be adequate. Leather computer chairs have also become very popular. Leather does not stain and is relatively easy to clean making the upholstery ideal for computer rooms and labs. The most widely purchased leather chairs are executive office chairs. Executive chairs are almost always upholstered in leather because of the prestige that leather brings. There are also a wide variety of leather ergonomic chairs like the Ergohuman LE9ERG.
