MOTUKA 118in x 60in Grey Suede Headliner Fabric with Foam Backing

Our review of the MOTUKA 118in x 60in grey suede headliner finds it best suited for DIYers and repair shops who need a large, ready-to-cut piece of soft synthetic suede with built-in foam. The single biggest reason to buy is the integrated 3/16in polyurethane foam backing that keeps the material stable and helps prevent sagging, making it a practical replacement for automotive interiors, boats or furniture. The fabric arrives folded, so expect some creases at first, but overall it delivers strong material quality and a pleasant, soft finish.

Key Features

• Size: The 118in by 60in panel provides enough coverage for most car roofs and many furniture projects without seams, reducing installation time.
• Foam backing: The 3/16in high-elastic polyurethane foam backing adds cushioning and structure so the headliner resists deformation and stays in place once installed.
• Soft suede face: The synthetic suede surface is smooth and soft to the touch, improving interior aesthetics and comfort in automotive or home applications.
• Wide usability: It is suitable for automotive headliners, sunroof panels, RV and marine interiors, door panels and even sofa or mattress padding for versatile repairs.
• Install tolerance: The foam-backed construction makes the material forgiving during shaping and adhesive application, which helps when replacing an old headliner.

Who It's For

This material is aimed at car owners, upholstery hobbyists and small shops needing a cost-effective, ready-to-trim headliner replacement that comes with foam already attached. It is a good pick for projects where a soft, uniform suede appearance and moderate insulation are desired.

People who want a perfectly crease-free, factory-rolled material or who need custom-cut widths exceeding 60in should consider professional upholstery supply sources instead. Also, if you require a fire-rated or specialized marine-certified textile, verify suitability before purchase.
