Unfortunately that happened to my roommates and I this morning.
So I decided to take it upon myself to research how to cure this all to common party fowl.
One website says this:
What is the best way to get the urine out of a couch or sofa? Most results on Google just bring up pet products and no actual help. Anyway, this sofa has a fabric cover, and the part that got peed on is actually a sectional recliner. Oh, and we're not talking about just a little bit of urine here. Yeah. What are good products and methods to use? Thanks!
ANSWER:
If it were me, I would look into replacing the foam insert/cushions in addition to cleaning the fabric cover. If the covers are not zip-off, look for a seam in an inconspicuous place where you could open the cover, replace the insert and reclose with Velcro. Otherwise you'll have to rent a steam cleaner that will penetrate the fabric and the cushion to the same depth as the urine. Test the fabric first to be sure steam cleaning won't ruin it.
As for cleaning the fabric, check out medical/hospital supply outlets. They have special cleansers designed to eliminate the odor from urine stains.
You don't explain the circumstances, but if this situation could occur again, you might want to look into plastic covers - like mattress pads - to put inside the fabric covers to save soaking the cushions in future.

I've had a lot of success using Bi-O-Kleen's Bac-Out Stain & Odor Eliminator to get rid of cat urine smells.
