Hard wearing (and cat proof) sofa recommendations please

Looking for recommendations for a cat proof (scratchy cats….) and hard wearing sofa please. I have 2 very young children as well (so smooshed bananas, slobber, accidental spillage are expected, something easy to clean would be fab)

or feel free to tell me because I have young kids and cats I might as well get a cheap sofa and accept that it will look crap until my kids are grown and then get a lovely velvet sofa which is apparently more cat proof than others

If they refuse to use scratching posts/mats the best option is regular trimming of claws.

Velvet, though maybe not cotton velvet as I think that can be stained by water.

Sorry, missed the smooshed bananas, maybe not velvet just yet 😬

Smart velvet or cotton my cat has zero interest unlike the wool fabric chair.

Yes, clip claws and encourage use of scratch post. Smart velvet is brilliant a mid grey colour is good. All the milk, mashed bananas etc will just wipe off. Marks , John lewis and Next have good selections. Not so much DFS or Furniture Village
