Description
The Cordoba Tan Genuine Leather is a three-piece recliner lounge suite — a 3-seater, a 2-seater and a single chair. Six seats, five of them reclining.
The 3-seater and the 2-seater are each what most people mean by a recliner sofa or a recliner couch, and the single seat is a recliner chair. Here all three come as one suite, so you are not matching pieces up later.
At R49 999 you are buying direct from Glyde-X. No retail chain in the middle, no markup stacked on a markup.

What it is made of
Genuine leather over solid pine and plywood, pocket-sprung seats
This suite is upholstered in tan genuine leather — top grain hide on every panel, including the backs and the sides.
The frame
Solid pine and plywood, glued and fixed with both screws and staples. Every seat is rated to 130 kg per seat.
The seats
High-density foam over pocket springs, with zig-zag springs beneath those, rather than foam on its own. It is the more expensive way to build a seat, and we build them that way because of how a seat ages. The backs are polyester fibre filled for a softer lean.
The mechanism
Imported steel, fitted in Johannesburg. So far no Cordoba has come back with a mechanism fault.
How the recline works
Hand-operated. Nothing to plug in
All five reclining seats are hand-operated. No motor, no cable, no transformer, no load-shedding problem. Nothing electrical can fail because there is nothing electrical in it, and the suite can go anywhere in the room instead of near a plug point.
You open the footrest with the handle on the outside of the seat. You close it by pushing back with your legs, not with the handle.
The backs and the wings clip on, and come off again by pressing the release tab — never by forcing them. That is how the suite gets through a narrow door.
The pull handle and the release cable are deliberately the common ones rather than a part only we can supply, so a replacement is easy to find if one is ever needed.
The centre seat of the 3-seater is fixed. Six seats, five of them recline.
Air leather or genuine leather?
The same suite in two coverings — side by side
| Feature | Air leather | Genuine leather |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | Man-made upholstery. Not animal hide | Top grain hide on every panel, including the backs and sides |
| Look and feel | Consistent colour and finish | Natural grain and tone; varies from hide to hide |
| Everyday care | Wipe with a warm, damp cloth and dry off | Damp cloth, water only; condition every 6 to 12 months |
| Warranty | 1 year | 2 years |
| Colours | Grey, Brown, Black, Biscuit, Blue (sold out) | Tan |
| Price, 3-Piece suite | R19 799 | R49 999 |
Both are built on the same frame, springs and mechanism. The difference is the covering, and the price follows it.

Warranty and care

What customers say about Glyde-X
★★★★★4.9 out of 5 from 165+ Google reviews Read them on Google →
These are reviews of Glyde-X as a business — our service, delivery and the suites people bought — not of this colour in particular.
Subject: Outstanding Service from Glyde‑X – Kudos to Mr Nkabinde (and Mr Mkwanazi) I recently purchased a lounge suite from Glyde‑X after seeing the company on Facebook, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very first contact, the team was professional and reassuring. I was initially worried about paying R24 000 upfront, but Mr Mkhwanazi (the salesperson) made me feel confident and explained everything clearly. He kept his promises, went the extra mile, and even arranged for the delivery to happen in just three days – exactly as he said. A special shout‑out also to Mr Mkwanazi for his support throughout the process. The suite arrived on time, exactly as described, and the whole transaction was smooth without me ever having to visit the premises. Thank you, Glyde‑X, and especially Mr Mkhwanazi, for turning what could have been a risky online purchase into a fantastic experience. I will definitely be referring friends and family your way!
They have good customer service. I'm very much Happy of the products
The quality is very nice
