softside vinyl
If you want the polished look of leather with a softer hand and easier care, softside vinyl is worth a close look. This supple upholstery vinyl drapes and stretches more readily than stiff, traditional vinyls, so it wraps cushions, curves and tufted details with fewer wrinkles and a more comfortable feel.
Why Choose Softside Vinyl?
Soft upholstery vinyl combines the wipe-clean practicality of vinyl with a pleasant, leather-like touch. It's a favorite for busy households, restaurants and vehicles where spills happen and seating sees daily use.
Popular Uses
- Dining chairs, bar stools and booth seating
- Headboards, ottomans and benches
- Car, RV and boat interiors
- Bags, accessories and craft projects
What to Look For
Check the backing first: knit-backed or expanded vinyl offers extra stretch for shaped pieces, while firmer backings suit flat panels. Consider the surface grain, from smooth to pebbled faux leather texture, and choose a color that hides wear in high-traffic spots. For outdoor or marine settings, look for vinyl described as suited to sun and moisture exposure.
