Frequently Asked Questions About Furniture and Upholstery

Is reupholstering furniture worth it?

Reupholstery may be worthwhile when the furniture has a strong frame, comfortable proportions, sentimental value or a size and style that would be difficult to replace. Severely damaged, low-quality furniture may not justify extensive restoration.

What does furniture reupholstery include?

Complete reupholstery generally includes removing the existing fabric, inspecting the frame and support system, making necessary repairs, replacing worn padding and applying the selected upholstery material.

Can sofa cushions be replaced without reupholstering the entire sofa?

Yes. Cushion foam, fiber, down and covers can often be replaced separately when the sofa frame and remaining upholstery are still in suitable condition.

What type of foam is best for seat cushions?

The appropriate foam depends on the cushion size, desired firmness and amount of use. High-density upholstery foam is commonly used for seat cushions, while softer foam or fiber may be used for backs.

Can loose or sagging sofa seats be repaired?

Many sagging seats can be improved by repairing springs, replacing webbing, rebuilding cushions or reinforcing the frame. The furniture should be inspected to identify the actual cause.

Can leather furniture be reupholstered?

Yes. Leather furniture can be completely reupholstered or repaired by replacing selected panels when compatible material is available.

Can torn vinyl furniture be repaired?

Small vinyl damage may be repairable, while larger tears, peeling surfaces or widespread deterioration may require replacement of the affected panel or complete reupholstery.

Can a broken furniture frame be repaired?

Many wood frames can be repaired through regluing, reinforcement or component replacement. Repair feasibility depends on the location and extent of the damage.

Can an old recliner mechanism be replaced?

Many recliner cables, handles and mechanisms can be replaced when compatible parts are available. The furniture design and condition should be evaluated before repair.

What fabric is best for homes with pets or children?

Tightly woven performance fabrics with good abrasion and stain resistance are commonly selected for active households. Color, texture, cleanability and the pet’s behavior should also be considered.

What upholstery is best for commercial furniture?

Commercial-grade fabric, vinyl or leather should be selected according to traffic, cleaning methods, appearance and any performance requirements that apply to the property.

Can antique furniture be made comfortable without changing its appearance?

Padding and support materials can often be improved while retaining traditional lines and decorative details. Significant antiques should be evaluated carefully before original materials are removed.

Yes. Dining chair seats are among the most commonly reupholstered furniture components. Fabric, foam, batting and support materials can be replaced as needed.

Can furniture be refinished and reupholstered together?

How much fabric is needed to reupholster furniture?

Fabric quantity depends on the furniture’s size, number of cushions, pattern repeat, fabric width, skirt style and desired pattern placement. The piece and selected material should be evaluated before fabric is ordered.

Can restaurant booths be repaired without complete replacement?

Many restaurant booths can be reupholstered, repadded and structurally repaired. Complete replacement may be necessary when frames or bases have widespread damage.
