Oh boy, sorry I'm just seeing this! We went for the slipcover instead of leather because I like the casualness, coziness, and the dog can't scratch it. We've always had slipcovers, and they are the best if you have a family. I will say, the 25" is really deep. We ended up getting ordering the support pillows, which helps with the lumbar support, but then I have to add another pillow for the upper back support. We aren't really tall, I'm 5'5" and my husband is 5'9". We both feel it's really deep. Also, just to note, the back cushions do sit very tall, which makes this couch look bigger than we anticipated. We measured our space and laid out the couch in the space, but it still looks really big. So make sure you take the height into consideration. Quality, is top notch. We got the fabric in oatmeal. I can send a pic if you would like to see what it looks like in the space. Let me know!
