Connecting with those you care about in a comfortable environment has never been more important to you. At Bradington-Young, we are dedicated to providing luxurious seating comfort in fine leather upholstery that will help you relax and connect in your family room, living room or home theater.

At Bradington-Young, it all began over 25 years ago with one simple philosophy: “Build high quality products for a fair price.” A humble beginning, combined with a burning desire to be the very best, molded Bradington-Young into the premier furniture manufacturer it is today.

Operating as a complete upholstery resource with a special dedication to leather, we offer an extremely diverse palette of styles and covers. Traditional, transitional, classic or retro – whatever the style – each piece is meticulously hand-crafted with the enduring quality that distinguishes Bradington-Young as an industry leader.

To complement our extensive product line that includes upscale recliners, club chairs, sofas and loveseats and reclining sofas and sectionals, we offer over 250 leathers and 300 fabrics. We shop the world over for leather and fabrics to ensure that our covers represent long-lasting quality and value.

Each style begins with a simple sketch. Our skilled artisans then carefully construct the frames from only the finest kiln-dried select hardwoods. Our sofas, loveseats and chairs feature genuine eight-way hand tied custom coil construction that is unsurpassed in terms of comfort and lasting quality. All of our reclining pieces, whether single or multiple seat, offer a deeply luxurious ride unparalleled within the industry.

Leather Care

Bradington-Young is one of the nation's largest manufacturers of leather furniture. Our size and buying power grant us access to the world's finest leathers.

Because we buy leather from global sources, we are able to play to each tannery's strength when selecting our offerings. Some tanneries specialize in pigmented or finished leathers, some make only aniline leathers, while still others produce only nubuks. Our in-depth knowledge of the world's leather market allows us to provide our consumers with the finest leathers available anywhere, no matter what your individual needs are.

We offer only the best, most natural hides available. Our leathers will exhibit all of nature's hallmarks that verify the leather's authenticity. Healed scars, scratches, insect bites, shade and grain variations, etc. should be expected and appreciated. These natural markings ensure that each piece that we manufacture is as unique as the individual using it.

We have classified our leathers into five basic categories: Finished, Aniline-Plus, Aniline, Bycast, and Nubuk. The following descriptions will help explain what characteristics are inherent to each category and will detail how to care for your leather. Please contact your local retailer (See Dealer Locator) for more in-depth information concerning your leather choice.

Finished leathers are practical for active households. These types of leathers are finished to provide resistance to staining and offer overall color consistency within a hide. These leathers are less affected by the harmful rays of the sun. Compared to other leather types, Finished Leathers generally require much lower maintenance.

Characteristics Hand: Variable Cleanability: Excellent

Aniline-Plus leathers are quite simply aniline leathers PLUS a slight protective coating. This protective coating can be light pigmentation, staining, or a protective top-coat. These leathers offer the hand of an aniline while adding a slight coat of protection. These leathers are more affected by the harmful rays of the sun simply because they are not as heavily protected as finished leathers.

Characteristics Hand: Excellent Cleanability: Moderate

Aniline leathers are the closest to a pure and natural form. These leathers are tanned and colored with transparent dyes exclusively. The transparent dying process allows you to see the rich color hues unique to each hide and shows off each hide’s one of a kind grain pattern. The rarest of Aniline leathers reflect the unaltered full top grain of the surface and have a remarkable skin-like feeling. Aniline leathers can also be made to highlight effects such as wax or oil pull-up, pebble grains, sauvages or distressing.

Characteristics Hand: Excellent Sun Sensitive: Yes Cleanability: Moderate

Bycast leathers have a very unique appeal. This type of leather is created by applying a polyurethane coating to either a split or a top grain hide. Bycast leathers can be made in heavy or light pull-ups, pebble grains, hand-wiped effects or distressed effects. Because Bycast leathers are coated with a polyurethane finish they are very sensitive to light and heat.

Characteristics Hand: Moderate Sun Sensitive: Yes Cleanability: Moderate

Nubuk leathers have the most varied and unique textures of all leathers. As soon as you sit down and feel the surface, you will know why people love Nubuk. These leathers are also dyed with transparent dyes, but the surface grain is machined with fine brushes to create the texture and famous Nubuk effect. It is almost like having a velvet leather. This effect gives the leather color depth and shading not found in any other type. Nubuk leathers can be made to create many different looks, from the most formal and refined to rugged casual.

Characteristics Hand: Excellent Sun Sensitive: Yes Cleanability: Moderate

GENERAL CARE TIPS FOR ALL TYPES OF LEATHERS Try to maintain at least two feet between your furniture and heating sources. Avoid placing your furniture in direct sunlight. All materials will fade over time when placed in direct sunlight. Take extra precautions to safeguard Aniline, Nubuk and Bycast leathers from sunlight. Like all items in your house, leather will accumulate dust. Vacuum on a weekly basis to keep the dust particles from settling in the grain of the leather. All leathers perform better when preventative maintenance is practiced. For specific cleaning information contact:
