What are fur stools?
Seating is an absolute must in every home. But have you ever thought about upgrading your home with a fur stool instead of using regular chairs?
Fur stools are stools that are characterized by their sheepskin-covered surface. Due to the cozy and shiny sheepskin, sheepskin stools are particularly popular as trendy and comfortable pieces of furniture for those who want to make their living space both cozy and modern. Fur stools are probably one of the best ways to combine luxury and comfort in your living environment.
Why choose a fur stool?
Fur stools offer many advantages over conventional seating options. They combine comfort and practicality, which makes them an absolutely versatile decorative element. Thanks to the soft and fluffy sheepskin, fur stools offer the best possible seating comfort, not only at the dining room table, but also in all other living spaces. As a stylish accent, fur stools adapt to the living environment in every room and skilfully enhance your rooms.
product overview
Not all fur stools are the same. There are many different types and designs of fur stools. The fur material alone makes big differences in appearance and quality.
Basically, there are fur stool variants from sheepskin, faux fur, cowhide to exotic furs.
We use real sheepskin for our fur stools and would like to tell you the 6 most important advantages of real sheepskin over other furs.
1st Sheepskin is more pleasant on the skin and cozier than most other furs, making it exceptionally soft to sit on.
2nd Sheepskin has a temperature-regulating effect. Sheepskin keeps you comfortably warm, especially in winter, while it can have a cooling effect in summer.
3. Sheepskin has hypoallergenic properties, making it ideal for a household with allergy sufferers.
4th Sheepskin is particularly easy to care for and often more durable than other skins.
5th Sheepskin is dirt and moisture repellent.
6th Sheepskin is sustainable because it can often be used for many years without loss of quality and is biodegradable.
real fur vs. faux fur
If you have decided to choose a sheepskin stool, you should consider whether you prefer a fur stool with real fur or faux fur, because faux fur and real fur differ in many ways.
optics
If you compare faux fur and real sheepskin directly, the visual differences are immediately apparent. Real fur has a denser fur structure than faux fur.In addition, faux fur often looks relatively matte, while real sheepskin has a shiny appearance. The visual differences are due to the fact that real sheepskin has its beloved properties, such as shine and fur density, from nature, while synthetically produced faux fur fibers can hardly imitate these natural advantages. In addition, if you compare them more closely, you can see that the material on the back of both furs is different. The back of sheepskins is usually made of leather, while the back of faux fur is made of artificially woven fabrics.
haptics
Sheepskin also differs from artificial fur in terms of its feel. Real fur fibers are significantly stronger, but at the same time much softer and fluffier than artificial fur fibers. This offers the advantage that sheepskins are more robust and often more durable than synthetic furs, while offering a higher cuddly factor.
Care
There are also some differences to consider when it comes to care, which are due to the composition of the fur. In contrast to artificial fur, real sheepskin contains lanolin. Lanolin is a fatty substance that coats the sheepskin like a protective film, giving it self-cleaning and dirt-repellent properties. These properties make real sheepskin particularly easy to care for, so regular brushing, shaking and airing are usually sufficient to care for real sheepskin.
Faux fur, on the other hand, does not contain natural lanolin and therefore does not have any dirt-repellent or self-cleaning properties. This means that dirt and dust can accumulate much more easily in faux fur, meaning faux fur needs to be cleaned more often than real sheepskin. In general, you should also brush, shake and air faux fur regularly so that you can cuddle with your fur for as long as possible.
care and maintenance
If you have decided on a fur stool, the question arises as to how you can best care for it in order to preserve its longevity and beautiful appearance.
As mentioned above, sheepskin has a dirt-repellent function, which makes sheepskin quite easy to care for. The type of sheepskin care is much more important than the frequency. Basically, it is sufficient if you regularly brush the sheepskin of your fur stool, shake it out and air it out if necessary. When airing it out outside, you should definitely protect the fur from direct sunlight and rain. In order to brush the sheepskin as gently and carefully as possible, you should only use special sheepskin or wool brushes.
If you accidentally spill something on your sheepskin, you should try to remove the fresh stain immediately by carefully dabbing it with a damp towel. Be careful not to use too much water. If the stain cannot be removed with water, you can use a mild cleaning agent. Special wool detergents are best, as they clean the natural fibers of your sheepskin as gently as possible and also care for them. To prevent the sheepskin of your fur stool from becoming brittle or matted, you should not use hot water when cleaning it, but rather cold to lukewarm water.
When caring for your fur stool, the basic rule is: "Less is more." If you follow this principle, your fur stool will comfortably decorate your home with its velvety soft fur and set a trendy accent for many years.
