Diamond Quilted Vinyl Headliner Material 2.1 yd x 55 in - Foam Backed

In this review the SmoothNovelty diamond quilted vinyl headliner material is evaluated for DIY upholstery and automotive interior upgrades; the bottom line is that it suits hobbyists and small shops who need a ready-to-use, foam-backed faux leather that is easy to cut and trim. The single biggest reason to buy is the factory-quilted 2" x 3" diamond pattern with foam on either side that saves time over buying plain vinyl and separate foam - it arrives at a usable size of 2.1 yd x 55.12 in and can be shaped for headliners, seats, or decor.

Key Features

• Customizable Size: Packaged as 2.1 yd x 55.12 in x 0.2 in so users can trim panels to exact shapes for car headliners or furniture without needing extra layering.
• Quilted Design: Each 2 in x 3 in diamond is finely stitched to provide a consistent plush look that upgrades interiors with a tailored appearance.
• Foam Backed: Foam padding on both sides gives a soft hand and light insulation, making it comfortable for seating surfaces and headliner use.
• Durable Materials: Made of PVC patent leather with polyester backing, the material resists wear and keeps a soft feel while standing up to typical interior use.
• Versatile Applications: Suitable for automobiles, motorcycle interiors, boats, furniture, speaker covers, headboards and more where a quilted leather look is desired.
• Easy Restoration: Wrinkles from shipping can be smoothed by ironing over a damp towel, restoring a sleek finish without special equipment.

Who It's For

The material is best for DIYers, upholstery hobbyists, and small repair shops that want an instant quilted surface without the time and labor of stitching foam to vinyl. It is particularly useful for automotive headliners and seat panels where pre-quilted foam backing reduces installation steps.

People who need full-width, commercial-grade upholstery yardage or exact automotive OEM-matched materials should look elsewhere, since this product is a general-purpose faux leather intended for custom cuts and repairs rather than full factory restoration projects.

Pros & Cons
