About Furniture Reupholstery

How Professionals Measure and Quote

Measurements are taken seam to seam, including cushion covers, arms, and skirts. A three-seat sofa typically requires 18 to 22 yards of 54 inch wide fabric. Quotes should itemize fabric, foam, labor, and any structural work. Beware of flat-rate quotes that hide low-grade foam or reused padding.

Webbing, Springs, and Structural Repair

Ask whether the professional will replace the jute or elastic webbing, retie the eight-way hand-tied springs if present, and inspect the frame for loose joints. Squeaky frames usually need regluing and corner blocks replaced. These hidden repairs often add 1 to 3 days of labor but prevent early failure.

Understanding Foam Density

Seat foam is sold by density, not firmness. A density rating of 1.8 pounds per cubic foot lasts around 8 years for daily use. Ratings below 1.5 will flatten within 2 to 3 years. High-resilience foam at 2.5 or higher feels firmer but supports more weight without bottoming out.

Choosing the Right Fabric

Measure the double rub count: 15,000 rubs suits light residential use, while 30,000 or higher handles daily family rooms. Cotton blends breathe well but stain easily. Microfiber resists spills but can pill. Leather and performance weaves last longer but cost 40 to 80 percent more per yard than standard cotton.

Common Pieces That Get Reupholstered

Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, ottomans, and headboards are the most frequent projects. Wingback chairs, antique settees, and recliners also benefit because replacement pieces of similar quality are hard to source. Office task chairs with worn seats can usually be reupholstered in under 2 hours per unit.

Signs Your Furniture Needs Reupholstery

Look for fabric that is faded, torn, or thinning at the seams and armrests. Flat cushions that no longer hold shape, exposed foam, or sagging springs are also clear signs. Wooden frames showing through the upholstery indicate the fabric has stretched beyond recovery. Stains that resist cleaning, especially on light fabrics, often push the decision toward reupholstery.

What Furniture Reupholstery Actually Does

Reupholstery replaces the fabric, foam, and padding on your furniture while keeping the original frame, springs, and wooden structure intact. It is different from a simple slipcover. A full job covers seat cushions, back cushions, arms, and any visible piping or trim. Most people choose this service to preserve a piece with sentimental value or solid hardwood construction.

When Replacement Beats Reupholstery

If the frame is cracked, the springs are broken, or the cost of new fabric and labor exceeds 50 percent of a comparable new piece, replacement is often the smarter choice. Mass-produced flat-pack furniture rarely justifies reupholstery because the frame cannot be repaired properly. Solid wood or vintage frames almost always deserve a second life. Ask the professional for a frank opinion before committing.

How Reupholstery Affects Warranty and Insurance

Reupholstering does not restore the original manufacturer warranty, which usually covers defects, not wear. However, the work itself should carry a separate shop warranty, often 1 to 3 years on craftsmanship. Keep the invoice and fabric swatch in case future repairs are needed. For insurance, send updated photos to your provider so the recorded value reflects the new cover.

What the Pickup and Delivery Process Looks Like

Most shops offer pickup and delivery for a flat fee based on distance and piece size. Items are usually wrapped in moving blankets to protect the new fabric. Delivery drivers will not remove doors or hoist pieces upstairs beyond a landing. You should clear the path and the room before the crew arrives. Ask whether the fee includes placing the furniture back in its spot.
