New Fabric for Settee - HELP?!

[schoonerdog]

So we put it off figuring our son would trash the settee anyhow as he went through the toddler years. Turned out to be quite true. Now the cushions are SO worn we have actual holes (which Zach thinks are places to store treasure, thus rendering the holes larger every day).

Currently the fabric is a leather (or faux leather) -- dull beige blah.

We thinking of making the switch to red. Wondering what a nice looking/ feeling fabric would be that will hold up to kid abuse. We live aboard full time so it gets the every day rub.

I have heard ultrasuede and Sunbrella are pretty popular -- was hoping for pros and cons on those + other ideas.

Thanks!
