Barbara from Poland<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<p class=\"Body\">Hi Barbara: You will find a large section in Offshore Cruising Encyclopedia on upholstery and cushions. Regarding leather, if it is properly treated and well ventilated, it works quite well. We&#8217;ve used it on some of our boats. But you need good ventilation, or it will tend to mildew. As for bunk cushions, our preference is for a waterproof vinyl of some sort, so that if there are any leaks you have better chance of keeping the foam mattresses dry.
