Both can last years. The right pick depends on your household, not on which looks better in a showroom.
Cleaning and spills
Leather wipes clean in seconds, which is why it wins with small kids and frequent snackers. Fabric hides dust better but needs prompt blotting; performance fabrics resist stains well.
Pets
Claws can scratch leather, though the patina bothers some people less than others. Tight-weave performance fabric resists snags better than loose weaves or chenille.
Comfort and climate
Leather feels cool at first and warms to you; fabric stays more neutral year-round. Keep leather out of direct sun to avoid fading and drying.
Budget
Quality fabric usually costs less up front. Full-grain leather costs more but ages well. Both are available at warehouse pricing here.
