There’s a whole list of pros and cons when it comes to faux leather furniture in general and some of those are more or less relevant in the case of specific items such as a bed for example. Faux leather beds can definitely look glamorous and chic in the bedroom but are the pros more relevant than the cons?

The Nuba bed by Mauro Lipparini is definitely attractive. The beautiful curved headboard combines perfectly with the bedframe and the overall look is that of a really cozy and comfortable piece.

Faux leather beds usually require little maintenance and are easy to clean with just a clean damp cloth whereas real leather requires a little more attention and care.

The beautiful white capitonné finish of this bed and its elegant headboard doesn’t pose any problems. It will keep its crisp and clean look easily and it will impress with its contemporary charm for quite some time.

Although some argue that faux leather can be very durable, especially the poly materials, it’s also true that it wears out more quickly than real leather and, when it does, the view is not pretty. Faux leather beds will get torn easily and they won’t get the same beautiful patina as real leather beds.

A bed such as this one (Onda designed by Paolo Piva) is likely to start showing signs of wear and tear relatively quickly, especially at the edges of the platform and headboard.

But perhaps the most important aspect is the fact that faux leather doesn’t breath that well, especially the PVC types. This is really important in the case of a bed. In addition, it doesn’t have the same hypo allergenic qualities as real leather, another important aspect in this case.

One solution would be to only opt for a faux leather headboard white the bed itself has a wood frame. The zeno bed is a lovely example in this case. It has an elegant design inspired by traditional beds but, at the same time, the headboard is available in a variety of different colors which makes the piece quite versatile.{found on lorigine}.

But if you favor looks and wish the bed to make a statement, then you’ll be happy to know that faux leather comes in basically any color, style or pattern and you can customize it however you want.

For example, take a look at the Premium bed which beautifully combines classic and modern details in a bold and stylish design. Both the headboard and the bed itself come in 15 different colors, some of which are quite eye-catching.{found on gautier}.
