Leather comes in many different colors and styles and is appropriate for everyone. It is easy to clean--all you need to clean stains and spills is a damp rag. Conditioning products can be used once or twice a year to keep leather supple. The up-front cost of leather furniture may be more than other furniture; however, while many other fabrics wear out over time, leather only gets better. Leather furniture is very comfortable. It stays cool in the summer and will warm to your body heat in winter. Do try to keep leather furniture away from windows and the sun as this will heat it up and may fade the color. Children and pets can be hard on furniture, but leather can withstand their abuse. There are special sealants that can provide added protection. It is, however, pretty durable and care-free with the cushions only needing to be turned and fluffed once a week along with light dusting or vacuuming. You do need to wipe up any spill promptly as with any other furniture. Taken care of properly, your leather furniture should last you for quite some time.
