Description
The Cordoba Brown Air Leather is a three-piece recliner lounge suite — a 3-seater, a 2-seater and a single chair. Six seats, five of them reclining.
At R19 799 you are buying direct from Glyde-X. No retail chain in the middle, no markup stacked on a markup.
Will it fit?
Manual recline — 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.
Built to be sat on for years
The frame is solid pine and plywood, and every seat is rated to 130kg. The reclining mechanism is imported steel, fitted in our Johannesburg factory, and carries a 1 year factory warranty — backed by us directly, not by a call centre in another country.
Pocket springs, not just foam
The seats are 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.
Honest about the material
This suite is upholstered in brown air leather. Air leather is a hard-wearing man-made upholstery — it is not animal hide, and we would rather say so plainly than let the word “leather” do work it has not earned.
It is a genuinely good choice for a family lounge: it wipes clean, it takes daily punishment from children and pets, and it costs a fraction of hide. If you want the real thing, we also offer the Cordoba in genuine leather — hide on every panel, including the backs.

Both are built on the same frame, springs and mechanism. The difference is the covering, and the price follows it.
