We've been offered a couple of rather nice sofas albeit one of them has a bit of cracking on a seat cushion.

Can anyone recommend anything to bring it back to life? [url= http://www.furnitureclinic.co.uk/How-To-Restore-Leather.php ]Furniture Clinic's balm[/url] and other places make out they're up to the job but are they real or BS?

Don't think you can repair the cracks but any oily moisturiser will restore suppleness. I would use Waxoyle, which as far as I can see is the same as Nikwax but much cheaper. Once the solvent dries off the leather should lighten up a bit.

depends on the size and probably not suitable but you can get swish sticky leather patches on amazon to hide holes and maybe small cracks, although I guess yours are probably larger.

Its been used on vintage leather car interiors for donkeys years, no reason why it wouldnt work on a leather sofa, made just down the road from the Singletrack office too.
*edit - just noted they have a section for leather furniture too.
