vinyl seat

Synthetic leather chair

A vinyl seat is a seat with upholstery made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC), a synthetic plastic material.

Vinyl seats are common in cars, diners, and public transit because they're durable, easy to clean, and cheaper than leather—though they can stick to bare skin in summer heat: The vinyl seats in my dad's old truck would burn your legs in August.
