Actually this is a bit deceiving. We're talking about a microfiber leather sofa...which is not a sofa that is part microfiber and part leather. Sounds nice, but that's more of a custom item.
What we're talking about are a few sofas that are available in either microfiber or leather upholstery. This is actually more common with sectionals, but there are a few sofa we've found that fit this description.
Microfibers are very fine fibers that are, in fact, finer than silk. Microfibers, when packed together tightly, give a great deal of body and depth to the fabrics from which their made. Microfiber fabrics drape very well, are light, and very fine, although not flimsy.
Now why use microfiber in furniture?
1) Shape - microfibers hold their shape very well, which is good for a sofa, especially the cushions which tend to stretch out over time
2) Durability - in relation to fabrics of the same weight, microfiber fabrics tend to be more durable
3) Stain Resistant - By Nature, microfiber resists stains, no scotch guard needed
