Family friendly sofas?

We are buying 2 large sectionals for 2 different rooms. One is a "casual" TV room and the other is a slightly more formal room that will have a bigger couch and more likely to have guests using it. We are planning on buying both of them from sofa.com in the UK. We have 3 children and it's in the country, plus there is a chance that we may rent the house out at some point. I find Sofa.com's fabrics a little limiting as they advise against Velvet for kids and the linens crease a lot, so once you rule out certain colours, you have a small choice. I really liked the tweeds they did but they've discontinued them. You can use your own upholstery fabric but I don't know where to start looking. Obviously if we use our own fabric I'm sure it will be more so I need to be careful how much it is per metre. The sofas have loose covers. I am unsure of colour at the moment (although one or both could be blue). I love light coloured couches but not very practical. Any idea how much I'd be looking at for a mid range fabric. Also, which fabric type should I look at (I think textured will be more hard wearing and hide marks?) and also, which sites shall I look at. I don't live in the UK at the moment and this is all VERY overwhelming! Any help appreciated.
