Microfiber!!!!! Costs a fortune, but lasts and lasts. I have cleaned pee, poop, puke, you name it, off the fabric and it still looks good 8 years later.

Nuh uh. We have three dogs and two cats, and I can't imagine having a fabric sofa. The dog hair brushes right off, spills are easily wiped up with a wet wipe, and scratches and scuffs buff out with leather polish.

I LOVE my leather sofas. Will never own anything else.

Oh yeah, we also have a 3.5 year old.

I'm less concerned with fur and surface scratches than I am with an animal using it as a scratching post. Once leather's damaged, it's damaged and needs replacing or it looks like crap.
