Easier to clean. A little cool to the touch in winter. Recommend darker colors if you use it a lot.

I like leather in recliners but prefer fabric in sofas - just more comfortable when reclining.

We just bought a couch and love seat and love it. We have always had leather in our den or family room as it is much more durable, assuming you buy good quality. Also if you have a pet they hold up very well.

No need to worry that the leather will be hot in the summer and cold in the winter. You are in a climate controlled house.

Many folks love leather furniture. Not me. I find it cold in the winter. And if it's hot in the summer and you're wearing shorts, you stick to the leather.

Leather. Improves in character as used and ages. Easy to clean. Stay with natural VS dyed colors....doesn't matter dark or light....what ever matches your need.

Summer and winter characteristics of leather...in either case it is a lot more forgiving than than folks say.

And if it is good for cowboys the world over....there must be a good reason.....eh?
