What is a black recliner sofa?

A black recliner sofa is a sofa in which each seat can recline independently — the backrest tilts back and a footrest extends to support the legs in a fully reclined position — upholstered in black leather, Leather Aire or fabric.

Is black leather or black fabric better for a recliner sofa?
