I went to survey on a nice sofa set to fit my living room. The sales person (two different shops) told me that leather sofa is not hot in a non-air-conditioning living room. Man-made leather will be hot. But pure leather like buffalo won't as the hot air will be "dispersed" to the entire cushion beneath the leather. And to maintain its line from cracking, you'll need to apply some "wax" to clean and shine it.

Now my living room is running on fan, so how far is the truth the sales person told me on the hotness? Because from what I know is, leather sofa is meant for cold room. 1 + 2 + 3 seaters leather sofa will cost me about RM 2.8k (retail price = RM 3.3k). Is this genuine leather?
