Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

Which one do you have/prefer??

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

We have a microfiber couch and my DH can't wait to get leather ones. I like my microfiber couches, they're soft and comfy to lay on...but leather couches wipe up fast with spills and they don't stain.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

We "had" the micro suede..I thought it was very comfy & homey at first but it seems to look frumpy after a while... we just replaced it with leather,I'm much happier.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

we have a leather couch and recliner. I prefer leather becuase it is easier to keep clean than microsuede. My mom has a chair that she has the back done in microsuede and if you brush up against it you can see the weave of the fabric shift and it looks messy. I love the look of microsuede, but I think it is a lot harder to keep clean. However, if I had pets I would do the microsuede b/c the ability to puncture the leather would kill me and I would just suk up the fact that I had to keep the microsuede clean.

We have the microfiber with the Guardian Stain Guard. We love them..So soft and Comfortable. I dont like leather....In the summer you stick to it and in the winter it is just so cold.

we have a brown leather couch- we love it- so easy to keep clean

if you get the micro suede- get the stain resistant coating- my sister got it- and she spilled coke- it sat on top of the fabric and she just wied it up- nothing happened!

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

I have leather in my den and would love to eventually get micro suede ones. I like leather, but I think fabric couches are so much more comfortable.
Leather is really durable though, we have had that furniture for a while now and it still looks great.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

I have leather and just bought the suede one this weekend, I love it!
cant wait to get rid of my leather one.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

We have a microfiber couch from Jennifer Convertibles and we LOVE it... so comfy and if the kids spill something it just wipes right up... personally I don't like leather because you stick to it, I like to lay down and melt into the couch

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

i've always stuck to leather. yes micro suede is cozier, but leather can be too, u just need to find the right one, i love mine, very comfy and soo easy to maintain

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

I love my microsuede couch! We have a stain guard on it, so it cleans really easily. It's so comfy!

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

Our couch is microfiber and we love it. We have had it about 3 years and it still looks perfect. The only complaint I have is that it attracts pet hair, but it is easy to clean with a lint brush.

Here is a pic off of the website. We dont have the loveseat, 2 chairs instead. The color is stone:

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

i have heard that after a while the microfiber gets shiny.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

I will never have a leather couch again. I hated being on a leather couch in the summer - it was one of the most uncomfortable things I have ever tried to relax on. We have had our microfiber for a few years now. We had it protected and any spills we have had cleaned up perfectly

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

Do you mean microfiber or microsuede? I 'm not a fan of the look of microsuede. We used to have a leather couch and loveseat in our old place and I thought it was very comfortable. My only issue was we have a cat and she would scratch it jumping on and off the furniture. We now just bought microfiber. Don't have it yet so can't say which I prefer.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

I have leather in my livingroom and we luv it! Very easy to clean and comfy. We just ordered a microfiber couch for our basement. I can't wait to get it! I think they are both comfy!
