PVC Leather Thickness Guide for Sofa Upholstery

Thickness is only one part of a PVC upholstery construction. Confirm it together with weight, backing, surface, hand feel and the furniture production process.

Thickness selection

Use ranges as a starting point

These ranges help buyers structure a discussion. Final suitability is confirmed through the target application and physical sample.

0.6 mm

A lighter, economical direction for suitable furniture and upholstery applications. Known reference: approximately 250–260 gsm.

0.9–1.0 mm

A commonly discussed range for sofa and general furniture upholstery. Known 0.9 mm reference: approximately 340 gsm ±5%.

1.4–1.5 mm

A thicker direction considered when the finished application requires more material body. Exact weight and construction must be confirmed.

1.8–2.0 mm

A heavy or custom development range. Suitability depends on the application, backing, hand feel and processing method.

Confirm together

Do not specify thickness alone

  • Finished sofa, chair or furniture application
  • Knitted, woven or non-woven backing
  • Target gsm where available
  • Surface grain, hand feel and color
  • Cutting, sewing, wrapping or gluing process
