Fabric or leather sofas

For nearly ten years, we have had leather sofas and I hate them, especially in summer when I often have bare arms and legs, because I stick to the leather when I get hot!
I would love to have our old, fabric sofas back, but they were destroyed by son's ex's cat!

I have fabric now,which I prefer,but only because I do not have any animals now.

I would prefer to have animals.

We bought a leather suite but got rid of it after a year to return to fabric. It was never comfy, cold sticky in summer and I was forever sliding forwards I hated it. Each to their own.

Leather every time. Our leather suite is 12 years old it has been used in every way by our dgc. Jumped and bounced on, rolled on, been tent etc
It still looks well with not a scrape. Chairs are like new despite daily use.
We have just the one living room.

I love it.
Never find it cold but I do always wear trousers or leggings.

I might consider fabric if I had a good room.

Never leather, hate my bare legs sticking to it!

We have two leather sofas in one room and two loose cover sofas in the other room. The loose covers mean I can wash them and also change colour scheme. No real preference though.

Fabric. Leather is not comfortable. Also don’t like the look of it especially pale leather......all those awful Hollywood mansion with white leather sofas
