Our couch is microfiber.

Our dogs like to jump on the couch and fly off of it while they're playing. It's gotten a lot of beating but the fabric looks really nice still. To get any slobber stains/hair off, we vacuum it and then wipe it with a damp towel.

Someone else mentioned it being very hot.. I agree. After laying on our couch for a while I burn up. Sitting on it is fine, but laying on it becomes very hot, even if it is incredibly comfortable.

We're actually in the middle of getting a new couch. The material has worn quite well, however, we've had problems with the back support ever since we got it. It was the show model and they don't make it anymore so we took their model. It really is a nice couch, we just happened to get a crappy one.
