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.
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.
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.
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.
Choosing fabric purely by color without checking rub count leads to early wear. Skipping the frame inspection allows squeaks and cracks to return within months. Failing to vacuum and rotate new cushions weekly causes uneven compression. Finally, placing newly upholstered furniture near radiators or in direct sunlight fades most fabrics within 1 year.
Fabrics with stripes, plaids, or large motifs need careful alignment at every seam. Matching a pattern across the back, arms, and cushions uses extra yardage and more labor. A small chair can need 15 to 20 percent more fabric than a solid cover. Misaligned patterns are one of the most common visual defects in rushed work. Confirm the matching plan before approving the quote.
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.
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.
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.
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.
