5 alternatives to a leather office chair

Do you want something other than a standard leather office chair? There are plenty of alternatives! We have listed five high-quality types of upholstery for you.

Slightly different

Of course, everyone is familiar with the classic leather office chair. Not surprising, because leather is comfortable and lasts a long time. But what if you want something different now? Maybe for ethical reasons or just because it's not your style? Then there are plenty of alternatives! You can opt for leather-like upholstery, but also completely different fabrics.

1. Faux leather

Let's start with the most obvious alternative to leather: faux leather. Office chairs with faux leather upholstery are most similar to genuine leather office chairs. Therefore, if you want a similar look, then faux leather is a good alternative. Please note that the term 'faux leather' is rather broad. It is available in all kinds. With cheap variants, you may compromise on quality. Choose a reliable dealer and invest in high-quality materials. Then you can enjoy your faux leather office chair for a long time to come! Our office chairs are available in black faux leather.

2. Trevira

Don't like smooth leather-like upholstery? Do you prefer warm and soft? Then choose an office chair with Trevira upholstery. This is a wool-like fabric. The coarsely woven upholstery is super hard-wearing. It is therefore a perfect alternative to leather. Trevira is long-lasting and available in different colours (combinations). So you can go in all directions with it.

3. Stamskin

Stamskin feels and looks leathery. If you want your chair to take a beating, choose Stamskin. It is super durable. In addition, it is antibacterial and moisture-repellent. So it's not surprising that you often see Stamskin in hospitals, for example. You can easily wipe it off with some water and mild soap. This upholstery is available in various colours. It is therefore a great alternative to a leather office chair.

4. Flex

Flex is a finely woven fabric made of 100% polyester. It is a fabric with structure, just like Trevira. However, Trevira is more coarsely woven. With Flex, you can go in any direction. So it's ideal for upholstering office chairs and it's completely different from leather. Do you want a modern look? Flex is nice and sleek and also subtly shiny. You can get it in all kinds of colours.

5. Polyurethane

Do you want an extremely sturdy chair that can be used in any environment, from industry to healthcare? Then a chair with a polyurethane (PU) seat is the perfect choice. This robust material withstands all kinds of moisture and dirt. Unlike leather office chairs, it can be cleaned with strong cleaning agents such as chlorine and alcohol — without compromising on comfort. PU seating is very comfortable and prevents a sticky feeling.
