can bugs live in leather couches

[GabrielleDella]

Yes, bugs can live in leather couches. Based on the information provided, leather furniture is not immune to infestations from certain types of pests, particularly bed bugs.

The sources confirm that it is a misconception that bed bugs cannot infest leather. A post from Bed Bug Solutions and Solutions Plus Pest Control explicitly states, "even leather couches can become infested with bed bugs." While the bugs may not live on the smooth leather surface itself, they can still find refuge in the seams, crevices, folds, and the internal structure of the couch. Therefore, owning leather furniture does not eliminate the risk of a bed bug infestation.
