We have fabric throws & pillows... the pillows don't really fall off on their own, but yes, it's hard to keep the throw 'thrown' perfectly. Janelle brings up a good point- cat scratches. We don't have scratches from Tuck & he tries to sleep on one at least once a day, but I'm not sure about a cat. I like how well ours have stood up to 4 moves (we bought them in Seattle)... plus how easy they are to clean up after children & a very hairy, shedding dog.amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03985776672924884691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-45376217353566644112010-03-18T22:31:45.298-04:002010-03-18T22:31:45.298-04:00i say fabric. i think leather is a nice look but i...i say fabric. i think leather is a nice look but i don't think it's as comfortable and it seems you'll want comfortable and cozy over form. <br /><br />additionally, cows are really kind, sweet animals and it breaks my heart they are slaughtered. save a cow, buy fabric!<br /><br />PS- Did you see Reese Witherspoon is going to play Ree in The Pioneer Woman movie?!Britthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12367052698728841152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-76668983791222396332010-03-18T16:08:42.930-04:002010-03-18T16:08:42.930-04:00I think leather looks really nice.

My parents couch is very firm and you can't lay on it without sliding over the surface.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02419181037966053541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-42171938549932175602010-03-18T15:04:57.489-04:002010-03-18T15:04:57.489-04:00I like fabric!

Mostly because I think cows are cute. :) And I'd like to have as little cow in my house as possible.KChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02810152245027472474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-68620402574331946292010-03-18T13:45:56.042-04:002010-03-18T13:45:56.042-04:00My parents got a leather couch after i moved out, ...My parents got a leather couch after i moved out, and i was totally against it. Until i sat on it... and watched it hold up really nicely over the years. Fabric looks frumpy by comparison, we're couch shopping as well and only considering leather. Maybe buying one this weekend!<br />As for the cold, my parents house is FREEZING, and so is their couch, but they just keep a bunch of throws around, and i wrap myself up in them before i sit down. It's not cold or sticky as long as it's not skin on leather...<br />and yes, you can still accessorize with throws and pillows, just like a fabric couch!lizziebluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10706570750652157152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-66065708656893052092010-03-18T13:37:06.506-04:002010-03-18T13:37:06.506-04:00Oh and you can put fabric pillows and a throw on a...Oh and you can put fabric pillows and a throw on a leather couch but the tend to slide off a lot :-)JayZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034123620584816809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9159715211538254313.post-83254788864023192412010-03-18T13:36:01.275-04:002010-03-18T13:36:01.275-04:00I still go back to leather being cold, especially ...I still go back to leather being cold, especially in a basement. You're going to have to put a blanket on the couch and sit on it to keep the cold away. I used to have to do that with my parents leather couch in the winter. But I do like the look of leather. I would worry about the cat's claws though. I just imagine little scratches everywhere. It's the reason we went with fabric for our couch.JayZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14034123620584816809noreply@blogger.com
