Vinyl or fabric — which is the better upholstery choice for office lounge chairs?

It depends on the environment. Vinyl is moisture-resistant, wipes clean in seconds, and holds up well in healthcare settings, breakrooms, or anywhere spills are likely. Fabric breathes better and is more comfortable for extended sitting, and a performance fabric rated for 100,000+ double rubs can actually handle heavy commercial use quite well. For medical or food-adjacent spaces, vinyl wins on practicality. For corporate reception or collaborative zones with moderate traffic, a good performance fabric is worth the added comfort.
