Generally, leather sofas are more durable and easier to clean than fabric sofas, but they’re often more expensive than fabric sofas. Because leather sofas tend to be cool to the touch, depending on the weather where you live, a leather sofa may be more comfortable than a fabric sofa. Since leather generally only comes in a few colors, your color and pattern options will be limited when choosing a leather sofa.

If you prefer the feel of something soft against your skin, fabric sofas can be more comfortable than leather sofas. Fabric sofas come in a wide range of colors and patterns. Since fabric is prone to staining; however, fabric sofas may not be as durable as leather sofas and can be harder to clean.

Ultimately, the choice between leather and fabric sofas comes down to personal preference and intended use. Leather sofas are better suited for high-traffic areas and homes with pets, while fabric sofas are better suited for homes where comfort is the top priority.
