Choosing between a fabric and leather sofa can be tricky. Each offers distinct benefits in terms of comfort, style, and practicality. In this guide, we break down the pros and cons to help you decide which is best for your lifestyle and home.

Fabric Sofas: Soft, Stylish and Versatile

Fabric sofas offer a plush, cosy feel and are available in a wide range of colours and textures. They're perfect for modern homes and growing families.

Pros:
- Wide variety of colours and styles
- Comfortable for long lounging sessions
- Generally more affordable

Cons:
- More prone to stains and wear (though washable covers help)

Leather Sofas: Timeless Durability
Leather sofas bring a sleek, sophisticated look to any room. They’re especially valued for their durability and easy maintenance.

Pros:
- Easy to clean and wipe down
- Develops a beautiful patina over time
- Highly durable and pet-friendly

Cons:
- Can feel colder to sit on in winter
- Fewer colour options

Special Mentions: Velvet and Boucle
Looking for something different?
- Velvet Sofas offer rich texture and bold colour.
- Teddy Boucle Sofas are on-trend and ultra-comfortable.

Which is Better for Pets and Kids?
- Fabric: Softer and more forgiving, but may stain.
- Leather: Easier to clean, less absorbent.

If you have young children or pets, consider a durable fabric with stain-resistant treatment, or a mid-tone leather that disguises wear.
