Chieftain Multistretch Faux Leather is a soft, flexible 4-way stretch vinyl designed for medical, rehab, and care settings. It’s built for use on profiling beds, postural chairs, therapy tables, and anywhere movement matters. Unlike standard vinyl, it bends and flexes with the foam beneath — reducing friction, improving comfort, and maintaining hygiene.
In care environments, upholstery doesn’t just need to look good — it needs to perform. Multistretch offers the best of both. Thanks to its flexible surface, it stretches in every direction, making it ideal for seating or beds that tilt, rise, or shift.
More importantly, it’s tough. Whether in a hospital ward, care home, or physio clinic, Multistretch lasts.
✅ 4-way stretch vinyl – ideal for profiling and adjustable equipment
✅ Crib 5 fire-rated – fully compliant for commercial and care use
✅ Waterproof and urine-resistant – no absorption, easy to clean
✅ Antimicrobial and antifungal – effective against bacteria and viruses
✅ 200,000 Martindale rubs – hard-wearing, long-lasting
✅ Soft, pliable, and breathable – supports comfort and pressure care
✅ Phthalate-free and REACH compliant – safer for vulnerable users
Because it combines flexibility, safety, and hygiene, Multistretch is the go-to fabric for equipment manufacturers, contract specifiers, and upholsterers in the care sector.
Thanks to its stretch and strength, this fabric performs especially well on:
Profiling hospital beds
Riser recliner chairs
Wheelchairs and cushions
Physio tables and treatment couches
Specialist postural seating
SEN and challenging behaviour equipment
While some fabrics crack, peel or fight back when stretched, Multistretch flexes with the surface — which helps prevent damage and pressure build-up.
In healthcare, hygiene is everything. That’s why our Multistretch faux leather is waterproof, stain resistant, and easy to wipe clean. You can disinfect it quickly, and it holds up to regular cleaning.
How to clean it:
Use mild soapy water and a soft cloth
Avoid solvents, harsh chemicals, or abrasives
Remove stains from oils, blood or ink immediately
Dry thoroughly after cleaning to maintain the surface
