What is the best sofa: leather or fabric?

Leather looks more upscale. They clean up better and lasts longer but costs more unless you get fake leather. Fabric is warmer to the body and you do not stick to it in the summer. Elderly prefers fabric so they won't slip off. You have more choices in color and design. What's better depends on your needs. If you have allergies then dust might be a problem so go with leather.
