Wait, so is this leather…?

Not exactly. Ultraleather materials delivers the look and luxurious feel of leather but with the added benefits of durability, stain and abrasion resistance, and easy care—all qualities of a high-performance fabric.

How does Ultraleather compare to leather?

While our collections take inspiration from the look of traditional leather, our performance far exceeds it. Key advantages include:

  • Exceptional durability with superior abrasion and hydrolysis resistance
  • Easy care—no special leather cleaners or treatments required
  • Built-in thermal regulation to keep seating comfortable and cool
  • Does not get hot or sticky in direct sunlight
  • Low VOCs, ensuring better indoor air quality with no harmful off-gassing
  • Consistently flawless surface with better yield compared to natural leather
  • Color and texture that remain vibrant over time without fading

Why is the price higher than other materials?

Ultraleather is a selection of premium materials that combines aesthetics, performance, and comfort. Our collections feature iconic, timeless design that’s engineered to last for years. This longevity and superior quality come from the use of top-grade ingredients, proprietary manufacturing processes, and rigorous testing, all of which contribute to its higher price.

So, this is indestructible?

No material is truly indestructible, and we don’t make that claim. However, Ultraleather materials are built to last. Our collections are contract-grade quality and designed to withstand heavy use in high-traffic environments like healthcare facilities, restaurant lounges, and airline seating. They also resist powerful chemical-based cleaners used in these settings. While not indestructible, Ultraleather materials can confidently meet the demands of even the busiest homes.

Is Ultraleather pet friendly?

Absolutely! Ultraleather materials are safe for all family members, including furry loved ones. We avoid harmful chemicals such as PVC, plasticizers and formaldehyde, ensuring that our materials do not release harmful odors or cause skin irritation.

Is it waterproof?

Ultraleather’s Outdoor collections are water-resistant, making it suitable for light-to-moderate exposure to water, like splashes or brief contact. However, they’re not designed to withstand submersion or prolonged exposure to large amounts of water.

Does it get hot and sticky?

No, Ultraleather materials are designed for thermal comfort, providing a cool, comfortable seating experience. Its moisture-permeable and climate-regulating technology helps dissipate body heat, ensuring you won’t feel hot or sticky, even during extended use.

Will this fade?

No, Ultraleather materials are designed with colorfast properties to resist fading from light exposure. Our Outdoor collections also feature enhanced UV resistance to ensure that neither color nor surface quality will fade or deteriorate over time.
