Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy foam or fabric here without having furniture reupholstered?
Yes, A-1 Foam & Upholstery operates as both a retail fabric store and an upholstery service. You can purchase foam, fabric, or other materials for your own DIY projects without committing to any service work.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A good rule of thumb is that solid wood frames in good structural condition are almost always worth recovering, especially on older pieces built with better joinery than most modern furniture. The shop can assess your frame during an estimate and let you know if any structural repairs are needed before new fabric goes on.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in Bloomington?
Most standard pieces like dining chairs or a single sofa take two to four weeks depending on the shop's current workload and whether materials need to be ordered. Larger or more complex jobs with custom details can take longer.
What types of fabric work best for homes with kids or pets?
Performance fabrics with tight weaves, such as crypton, outdoor-grade polyester, or microfiber, tend to hold up well against stains and claws. The shop can help you pick options that balance durability with the look you're going for.
Do you work on commercial furniture, or just residential pieces?
Many upholstery shops in Bloomington work on both residential and commercial projects, including office chairs, waiting room seating, and restaurant booths. It's worth calling ahead to confirm capacity for larger commercial orders.
Is it cheaper to reupholster a sofa or just buy a new one?
For a quality piece with a solid frame, reupholstery often costs less than replacing it with something of comparable build quality. If the existing sofa is a lower-end piece with a weak frame, replacement might make more financial sense, and the shop can give you an honest assessment.
