vinyl upholstery

Synthetic seat covering

Vinyl upholstery is synthetic plastic material used to cover furniture, car seats, and other surfaces.

It mimics leather at lower cost and resists moisture and stains, making it popular for restaurant booths, medical exam tables, and vehicle interiors.

The material can crack or peel over time, especially in heat: The vinyl upholstery in the old pickup was splitting at the seams.
