Stressless Material Options

Stressless offers a range of material options to suit various preferences and needs. Their luxurious leather options include Batick, a corrected leather with a robust finish, and Paloma, a semi-aniline leather that balances softness and durability. For those seeking fabric, Stressless provides a variety of choices such as Calido, a wool blend known for its natural breathability, and Daisy, a silky-soft, eco-friendly fabric made from recycled materials. Each material is crafted to deliver exceptional comfort, durability, and easy maintenance, ensuring a perfect fit for any lifestyle and interior design.

Leather

Batick

Batick is a corrected, pigment-enhanced, grain-corrected upholstery leather with most of its natural imperfections removed. It may feature a two-tone color effect (sauvage) to add vibrancy to the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, although its color will gradually change with use and exposure to light. A heavier protective layer simplifies cleaning, making Batick easy to maintain. Its straightforward cleaning, excellent durability, and favorable price make Batick a smart choice.

Paloma

Paloma is a slightly corrected leather that blends dyes and pigments to smooth out some of its natural grain composition. Variations in grain structure and minor color nuances may still be visible in different parts of your furniture. Natural marks, scars, and insect bites are preserved, adding to its authentic look. A thin lacquer coat provides protection and simplifies cleaning, though Paloma does not offer the same heavy-duty durability as Batick. Its soft, natural, and comfortable feel makes Paloma a very popular choice.

Noblesse

Noblesse is the most luxurious leather offered by Stressless. This full-grain semi-aniline leather is dyed throughout and has only a thin protective topcoat, preserving its natural softness and luster characteristic of first-class furniture leather. Noblesse retains its original grain and structure as a natural material, with minor color nuances and skin blemishes adding unique character. These individual details may cause slight variations across different parts of the furniture. Despite the topcoat providing some protection, Noblesse is the most delicate leather used by Stressless. It easily absorbs moisture and is more susceptible to wear and tear, heat, sunlight, spills, and perspiration. Regular maintenance is crucial to maintain its attractive appearance.
