Microfiber is another less-durable material that is prone to showing staining and is more difficult to clean.
The best way to judge the durability of a leather sofa is to look at its construction. Avoid sofas that make use of bonded leather or fake leather made of a mix of scrap pieces and glue that's coated to resemble genuine leather. Look for a tag that says "genuine leather" to ensure you're getting real leather, and choose an item with 8-way hand-tied springs, or at the very least sinuous springs to ensure the longest life span.
