The material should be Ultraleather which is a premium synthetic that is UV resistant and is the OEM material used by Flexsteel. It costs about $63 per yard wholesale to the trade (us). Labor will be about $60 per hour and material is marked up 30%. Each seat will require about 3-1/2 yards. I would estimate a negotiated price of about $400-$500 per seat. That should include new foam and all removal and installation. Shop around as these are not difficult but I would advise to stay away from cheaper marerials as they are prone to crack and feel stiff.
