From highly-protected to naturally beautiful, Performance and Authentic leather make it easy to find the La-Z-Boy leather that matches your style and your way of life.
Performance Leather
Performance leather is soft, yet tough and is ideal for active families. Known for consistent overall color, Performance leathers also feature protective coatings and surface techniques (like embossing) that make their beauty last. If you have small children and pets, you’ll love Performance leather.
Authentic Leather
Authentic leather is elegant, supple and durable. It takes more than 10 different tanning processes to create that silky smoothness. But it’s worth it. Pure, transparent dyes bring out leather’s unique characteristics and markings and create dramatic color variations.
Leather is a natural material which, when properly cared for, will maintain its beauty and appearance for many years. It is also the easiest to care for of all upholstery materials. For best results, contact your local dealer for cleaning instructions specific to your piece of furniture.

Tips to remember
- Keep your furniture at least 12” from intense heat to prevent drying and cracking and avoid prolonged exposure to the sun.
- Depending on use, lighter colors may require more maintenance than darker colors.
- Never use harsh cleaners, chemicals or saddle soaps as they may damage the finish.
- Some darkening is to be expected and many stains will naturally dissipate into the cell network of the hide.
- Take extra care with sharp instruments and animal claws as tears are difficult to repair.
