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.

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.

That's exactly what I was going to say.

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.

Re: Leather Couches VS. Micro Suede Couches

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

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 couchChat Icon

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

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 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.

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!
