My mother used to have a fabric sofa, a 3 +2 seaters. She prefers fabric sofa because she could change the sofa covers every quarterly months. In addition, she could order made different patterns and designs of the fabric sofa of her choice.
However, I prefer genuine leather made sofa. There is another option, half genuine leather sofa on the seatings with half man made leather for the head rest and the back of the sofa. Although genuine leather sofa cost more than fabric and man made sofa, it does provide a longer lifespan compare to the both. I had been using my leather sofa for the last 16 years. Yes, there are torn portions but the sponge and spring are still durable and usable.
So, what type of sofa do you have?

that is the best thing about genuine sofa, it can be upholster again, much cheaper isn't it?

@peachpurple Our sofas are made with Nubuck Leather, it's not cold. Nubuck is made using the rawhide from cattle, that is sanded to give it a suede-like, soft appearance. I had Top grain leather sofa in Monte-Carlo, where winters are not cold.

i have tried both. the fabric was best until kids were in the house with it all the time. i would just say as long as it is taken good care of any works fine

we still have the wooden sofa and chairs and table, like the one where our dog Macy slept on. but we have upholstered sofa, 2 big seats, and 2 foot stools.
