When searching for the perfect material for disability chairs, you have to think about functionality, practicality, durability, and comfort. Many materials check all these boxes, such as leather, vinyl, and wool.
Leather is one of the most durable upholstery materials because it is a naturally tough fabric. It is adaptable for everyday use and is resilient against tears, punctures, and scratches that other materials may not be able to withstand. It is also a waterproof material, making it easier to clean with a cloth if spills or staining occur. Vinyl is also very similar to leather in that it is durable, comfortable, and waterproof.
Nylon is another material suitable for disability chairs because it is easy to keep clean and wash. The material can withstand water very well, and it can be cleaned with any water-based cleaning product. The fibers in nylon are also very strong and are abrasion and elastic resistant, making the material extremely durable.
