Sensuede is a marketing name for a Microfibre. All microfibres are not the same, if you are looking for a fabric that will clean easily than go for a microfibre that is made up of mostly polyester, as this will not stain. Ones of Nylon can, after any stain repellant has worn off. In the case of a poly Microfibre it cannot, due to its cell structure composed of plastic. Stains will repel or go right thru not attaching to the fiber itself. The issue of it stretching is I believe due to the cushion, not so much the fabric, unless the fabric was not backed at all. Microfibre does stretch, but a good Microfibre will have a backing on it to help eliminate this problem. Also like leather, microfibre is a very soft and drapeable material, it will follow the lines of the cushions and fill so any creases or softening will appear more exaggerated than any other regular fabric that is thicker and not smooth on top. Go for the innerspring cushion, it will help make that cushion last longer over time helping suppress the softening which occurs on any foam cushion just depending on the density and weight of the foam used by the manufacturer.

Our DS has a futon with a microfiber- covered cushion, and it is still in good shape after years of college dorm life, and moves and people and dogs sleeping on it. It even survived life in a fraternity house! And years ago I had a pair of navy slacks in a microfiber fabric that I used to take on trips. They were really and truly miracle pants. They didn't stretch, sag, stain, or go limp, and were actually wash and wear with no ironing needed----and I have EVERYTHING ironed, even my sheets, so that is saying a lot. If you can find something you like in microfiber, I wouldn't hesitate to buy it.

I wish I had suggestions for you. I too have had my Kincaid couch replaced twice. The second one: Springs are popping (same as the first couch). Seat cushions are a little better than the first couch .. they still cave in when sitting on. Back cushion also caves in when sitting, leaving a round hole impression. I switch & flip all cushions every couple days. Had other numerous issues .. bottom black material was torn .. nail coming out, back of couch, legs .. chipping paint. The numerous items were fixed by Johnnie Janosik Furniture repair personnel (Where I bought the couch). I was told by them, nothing is wrong with the springs. Is it normal for springs to pop & creak? If I ordered a 3rd couch, they said the back cushions would be the same way! I was told to go to Michael’s, buy a bag of stuffing, cut the plastic inside, fill with additional stuffing. Really! I need to do this with a new couch! There is where I’m at with my replacement Kincaid Couch! Where do I go from here?

Here's the type of fabric I'm thinking of. This is my living room. It's the ottoman I'd like to change...sorry about the low light.
