Keep in mind that this is FAUX leather, which is basically plastic ("faux" means fake in French). That means it'll split and crack in a few years even if unused. That's just a result of aging. And while it's somewhat waterproof, so easier to clean, it's not puncture proof. Linen, like all woven fabrics, can recover from small punctures, e.g. from a ballpoint pen. Rips are also somewhat easier to repair on fabrics. If you don't care about appearances, you can just iron on a patch using heat-activated glue. You obviously can't iron plastic. I prefer heat glue because bonding is instant once cooled. You can also use fabric glue, which would work on plastic as well. But it's much harder to find a suitable plastic patch. And yes, you need to use fabric glue because of its flexibility. Other household glues dry hard or semi-hard, and crack if flexed, e.g. if sat on.
But to answer your question, fabrics are much more comfortable to sleep on than sticky plastic. That said, fabrics do absorb sweat do you might want to place a sheet over it. Sweat won't be a problem if you wear pajamas and the night is cool. But if you use sheets, then plastic is just as comfortable. So it comes down to durability and for my lifestyle, linen wins. If you tend to spill stuff, then plastic might be better.
FYI - Having owned one, they are worth equal to the current price. It's a JosABanks pricing scheme - ie., you get a $100 suit for $100, not a $1200 Italian suit for $100.
This looks uncomfortable and poorly made... (Amazon video shows what looks like a sagging canvas dust cover below the right side of the couch, left in video)
Wonder if it would be comfy enough to be a console gaming couch? Any thoughts?
Yeah I was already passively looking at others of this similar size for my "Mancave/gaming room" my new place and this price undercuts the hell out of everything in it's size class. Probably for a reason, but reviews be damned, I'll give it a shot lol. I picked up the gray linen one (hell no to leather in FL humidity) from Amazon and they say the color looks more denim too (which is what I was going for if anything).

For the price, don't worry about tossing it in a couple of years after kids destroy it.
Better than paying triple for rooms to go to do the same thing.
Exactly and I figure since it'll be mostly used by me and the occasional guest staying overnight, it should be able to hold up if I just use it as intended and keep it away from my SO's cats! Haha

This Harvey Weinstein casting couch uses wooden legs. Wouldn't last a minute with those demonic Baphomet demons
