Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Bowden's Upholstery specializes in furniture reupholstery covering everything from dining chair seats to large sectional sofas. The process involves removing old fabric and padding, inspecting the frame and springs, making any necessary structural fixes, and applying new material using professional-grade techniques. Clients can choose from a range of fabric types, including woven textiles, velvets, leathers, and performance materials built for everyday use. Cushion replacement is often part of the job, restoring the original height and firmness that older pieces tend to lose over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstering and refinishing furniture?
Reupholstering involves replacing the fabric, padding, and sometimes the springs on upholstered pieces like sofas and chairs. Refinishing applies to the wooden or metal surfaces of furniture, changing stain, paint, or finish without touching the fabric components.
How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A good frame check involves pressing down on the piece to feel for wobble or flex, and looking at what the frame is made from. Solid wood frames are almost always worth saving, while particleboard or staple-heavy frames may not hold up to a full reupholster.
Does Bowden's Upholstery work with interior designers?
Many local upholstery shops in the Triangle partner with interior designers on residential and commercial projects. If you're working with a designer, it's worth asking them or the shop directly about trade pricing and project coordination.
Can you reupholster just the cushions without doing the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only work is a common and cost-effective option when the base fabric is still in decent shape. The shop can match fabric to your existing sofa or help you choose a contrasting accent if you prefer a two-tone look.
How much fabric do I need to reupholster a dining chair?
A standard dining chair seat typically requires half a yard to one yard of fabric, depending on the size and whether the back is also being covered. The shop can give you an exact measurement after inspecting your chairs.
Are there eco-friendly fabric options available for reupholstery in Apex?
Yes, sustainable fabric options like recycled polyester blends, organic cotton, and plant-based textiles are increasingly available through upholstery suppliers. Ask the shop what they currently have access to, or bring a fabric you've sourced yourself.
