Different types of materials have different properties such as strength, durability, stain resistance, and cost. If the sofa will stand in direct sunlight, fade-resistant sofa fabrics are best. In general, synthetic fibers are more resistant to everyday wear and tear than most natural materials.

    Leather is one of the most popular sofa materials. It's durable, easy to clean, and evolves over time. Plus, nothing beats the luxurious feel of soft leather that gets softer and more comfortable over time. Because it is easy to clean and unaffected by pet shedding, leather is generally recommended for those with pets and young children. However, leather is not very resistant to sharp objects. It is easily damaged by pets' paws or metal edges and tends to be sticky in hot or humid weather. Leather is also a higher quality material, so leather sofas are usually more expensive than upholstered sofas.

    Cotton is not as stain-resistant or durable as synthetic materials. Depending on the tightness of the weave, cotton can be prone to damage and wrinkling. A tighter weave results in a stronger fabric. Textured cotton is a popular choice for quiet location sofas, and cotton tends to become softer over time. While it looks good, it wears off quickly and tends to trap dirt in the grooves of the fabric.

    Linen has similar properties to cotton. While it's not the most durable fabric, it's beautiful and a great choice for a sofa for a home without kids and pets or for a more formal occasion. Linen is a high-maintenance fabric because it tends to wrinkle and stretch and often requires professional cleaning or dry cleaning.

    Wool is durable and beautiful, but is more expensive than other fabrics and is fairly rare as a sofa upholstery. It's easy to clean and maintain and has natural moisture-wicking properties, so spills stay on the surface rather than being absorbed into the material. Wool is also hypoallergenic and works well in humid climates.

    Silk is smooth and smooth, but brittle. It's difficult to maintain but elegant and rich, perfect for a room that's infrequently used. Although it is a wrinkle-resistant material, it is not recommended for use in high-traffic areas.
