Yes, bed bugs can absolutely live in leather chairs. While it is a common misconception that the smooth surface of leather is a deterrent, the material itself does not make furniture immune to an infestation. Bed bugs are not concerned with the upholstery material as much as they are with finding safe, dark places to hide close to a food source.

A leather chair provides numerous ideal hiding spots for these pests. Bed bugs will infest the seams, piping, tufts, and folds of the leather. They can also live in the crevices of the wooden or metal frame, within the internal workings of a recliner, behind buttons, and underneath the chair itself.

The primary attraction for bed bugs is a resting human, and they are adept at finding harborage in any crack or crevice nearby. Therefore, if a leather chair is used frequently for sitting or sleeping, it is just as susceptible to an infestation as any fabric-covered furniture. A thorough inspection of all seams and structural components is necessary if you suspect bed bugs in a leather chair.
