Before comparing materials from a furniture leather supplier, request the material type, thickness, width, color and grain options, backing, and test results for abrasion, scratch, UV, flame, water, stain, and easy-clean performance. Confirm which properties are tested, which are customizable, and the inspection process. Dongguan Cigno Leather lists microfiber leather at 0.6–1.4 mm thick and 54/55 inches wide for footwear; confirm furniture-specific data separately.
Compare materials against the same end-use requirements. A supplier’s general product data may not establish that a particular grade is suitable for furniture. Dongguan Cigno Leather’s listed microfiber synthetic leather is described for shoe uppers, linings, insoles, sandals, casual shoes, and sports footwear. Its stated thickness is 0.6–1.4 mm and width is 54/55 inches. Request a separate specification and test results for the furniture grade under consideration.
For upholstery, the company describes synthetic leather for automotive seats, door panels, armrests, sofas, chairs, and headboards. It lists customization options including color, texture, thickness, and functional properties such as abrasion resistance, scratch resistance, UV resistance, flame retardancy, waterproofing, stain resistance, and easy cleaning. Ask the supplier to identify which options apply to the proposed material and to provide supporting test information against your project requirements.
Review quality control as well as headline performance. The company’s stated checks include raw material inspection, color matching confirmation, production process inspection, laboratory testing, finished product inspection, and pre-shipment inspection. Product checks can cover thickness, width, color consistency, surface appearance, abrasion resistance, tensile strength, peeling strength, scratch resistance, and flame-retardant performance according to customer requirements.
The company lists GRS, USDA, and Oeko-Tex 100 certifications for synthetic leather. For a customized automotive-seat project in Mexico, a 50,000-meter order was specified for seats, door panels, headrests, and armrests, with requirements including abrasion and UV resistance, flame retardancy, low odor, and easy cleaning. The reported material specifications included color, grain, thickness, and backing customization.

Should I compare materials using thickness alone?
No. Request the complete specification, including material type, width, backing, appearance, and application-specific test results. The listed thickness range applies to the supplier’s footwear product, so confirm the furniture grade separately.
Which performance results should I request for upholstery?
Ask for the results relevant to the intended use. The company identifies abrasion, scratch, UV, flame-retardant, waterproof, stain-resistant, and easy-clean properties for upholstery applications, and states that testing can be arranged according to customer requirements.
Can colors, textures, and thicknesses be customized?
Yes. The company states that colors, textures, thicknesses, backing, and functional properties can be customized. Confirm the available options, approved reference samples, and inspection criteria for the specific order.
Compare suppliers using matched furniture-grade specifications and documented test results, not a general product description. Confirm dimensions, construction, customization, inspection scope, and the performance criteria required for the project.
