Stressless® Leather Options Explained

BATICK
Batick is a corrected, pigment-enhanced, and grain-embossed upholstery leather with most natural imperfections removed for a smooth, uniform appearance. It may feature a subtle two-tone effect that adds depth and visual interest to the surface. Batick is resistant to fading, though some color change over time is expected with regular use and light exposure. A durable lacquer coating provides protection and makes cleaning easy. With its practical durability, low maintenance, and attractive price point, Batick is a smart and reliable choice.

PALOMA
Paloma is a slightly corrected leather that uses a blend of dyes and pigments to gently smooth the leather’s natural grain pattern. While some of the texture is evened out, variations in grain structure and subtle color nuances may still appear throughout the piece. Natural characteristics like marks, scars, and insect bites are preserved, adding to Paloma’s authentic appeal. A thin lacquer coating offers light protection and makes cleaning easier, though Paloma is not as heavy-duty or protective as Batick or Cori. With its soft feel, natural look, and inviting comfort, Paloma remains one of the most popular choices.

VELARO
Velaro is a thick, full-bodied leather with a refined grain and naturally elegant appearance. It’s dyed through and features a lightly corrected surface with minimal coating, allowing its organic character to shine through. A subtle embossing helps even out grain variations, though natural markings, texture differences, and color nuances are part of its authentic charm. While Velaro offers a soft, luxurious feel and a light protective topcoat for easier cleaning and some stain resistance, it’s not as heavy-duty or durable as Batick.

NOBLESSE
Noblesse is the most exclusive leather offered by Stressless. As a full-grain semi-aniline leather, it’s dyed through and finished with only a thin protective topcoat, preserving its natural softness, rich texture, and elegant luster—hallmarks of premium furniture leather. Because it retains its original grain and structure, you may notice subtle color variations, natural marks, and minor imperfections that give each piece a unique character. While the light topcoat offers some protection, Noblesse is also the most delicate leather in the Stressless® collection. It easily absorbs moisture and is more sensitive to wear, heat, sunlight, spills, and perspiration. To maintain its luxurious look, regular care and maintenance are essential.
