The Big Sofa Material Decision

Leather or fabric? The biggest sofa decision — and more nuanced in Singapore's tropical climate. Both have real strengths and trade-offs. At Mega Home Furnishing, we carry both types curated for local conditions.

Climate Performance

Leather

• Can feel sticky without aircon
• Needs conditioning every 3-6 months
• Dust-mite resistant — great for allergies
• Develops beautiful patina over time

Fabric

• Breathes better on bare skin
• Absorbs moisture and odours
• Modern performance fabrics mitigate most concerns
• Removable covers are a game-changer

Durability

Leather: 15-25 years. Fabric: 7-15 years. Covers can extend fabric lifespan.

Simple Framework

• Leather if: aircon regular use, easy cleanup wanted, no clawed pets
• Fabric if: bare-skin comfort priority, young children, wider colour range wanted
