Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy foam and fabric to reupholster furniture myself?
Yes, and shops like A Foam and Fabric Place are set up specifically to help with that. They can advise on the right foam density for your project and sell you the yardage of fabric you need. First-time DIYers often find it helpful to describe their project in detail so staff can guide them toward the right materials.
What foam density should I use for sofa cushions?
Most sofa cushions use medium to high-density foam, typically 1.8 to 2.2 pounds per cubic foot for everyday seating. Higher density foam holds its shape longer and is worth the extra cost for pieces that get heavy use. Staff at a foam shop can recommend the right grade based on how the furniture is used.
How much fabric do I need to reupholster an armchair?
A standard armchair typically requires four to six yards of fabric depending on the size of the chair and whether the fabric has a pattern that needs to be matched. Pattern-matching can increase that number significantly. When in doubt, buy a little extra because fabric from the same dye lot may not always be available later.
What's the difference between upholstery fabric and regular fabric?
Upholstery fabric is woven more tightly and rated for higher rub counts, meaning it's tested to withstand more friction before showing wear. Decorator or garment fabrics aren't built for that kind of repeated stress and will break down much faster on a heavily used piece of furniture.
Can outdoor furniture foam get wet?
Standard foam is not designed for outdoor or wet conditions and will break down if it stays wet. There are open-cell and quick-dry foam options made for outdoor furniture that allow water to pass through and dry out more quickly. For Tucson's monsoon season, using the right foam type on patio furniture really matters.
Do you sell fabric by the yard, or only in full bolts?
Most fabric retailers and upholstery supply shops sell by the yard, which is the standard for upholstery projects. You only buy what you need, which keeps costs down on smaller jobs. It's always smart to measure your project carefully before you go in so you don't come home short.
