About Furniture 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.
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.
How Frame Condition Affects the Job
Before any fabric goes on, the frame has to hold weight for years to come. Pros check for loose corner blocks, cracked rails, and split dowels. If joints are wobbly, they need gluing and clamping or full replacement. Kiln-dried hardwood frames survive reupholstery better than particleboard. A weak frame will make even premium fabric sag early. Always ask for a frame condition report in writing.
How Location in the Home Changes the Plan
Furniture in sunny rooms fades quickly, so UV-resistant fabric or protective window film helps. Pieces near kitchens or fireplaces need stain-resistant treatments. Basement storage can cause mildew on old foam, which means the new fill needs anti-microbial additives. Outdoor furniture uses marine-grade fabric and quick-dry foam. Tell the professional where the piece will live so the right materials are chosen.
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.
Typical Timeframes for the Job
A single dining chair takes 3 to 5 working days from drop-off to pickup. An armchair averages 2 to 3 weeks. A full three-seat sofa usually needs 4 to 6 weeks, especially if the shop outsources cushion filling. Rush jobs cost 20 to 30 percent more and should be confirmed in writing.
What Happens to Cushion Fill During Reupholstery
Cushion cores can be reused if they still spring back and feel even. Most pros recommend new high-resilience foam wrapped in dacron batting for a softer, rounded look. Down-and-feather wraps cost more and need regular fluffing. Old foam loses shape and density, so reusing it usually shortens the life of your new fabric. Ask whether the quote includes new fill or just a cover change.
Why a Written Quote Matters
Verbal quotes lead to disputes when the bill arrives. A written quote should list fabric cost, labor, foam, trim, hardware, and any structural repair as separate line items. It should also state who pays for extra work found during disassembly. Ask for the quote by email or printed form with a signature line. This protects both sides if the scope grows mid-project.
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.
What Drives the Final Price
Three main factors control cost: fabric choice, frame condition, and cushion complexity. Down-wrapped cushions, tufted backs, and skirted bases add labor hours. Hidden frame repairs discovered mid-project can raise the bill, so ask for a written estimate with a not-to-exceed clause before work begins.
