Microfiber or any smooth surface is good. Don't get anything that has

you're getting new furniture, why not invest in a nice floor to ceiling
cat tree?

I'd imagine micro fiber has one bad trait and that is its inability to
self seal puncture holes. Such as from back claws that a cat launching
off could cause. Stab a needle in the fabric sample swatches at the
furniture store to find out for sure.
