Services & Process

Custom upholstery covers a wide range of projects, from recovering a beloved recliner to completely transforming the look of a sectional with a new fabric choice. The shop works with homeowners to select materials that match their decor, then handles everything from frame inspection to final stitching. Cushion work is a common request too, whether that means replacing compressed foam cores, adding extra batting for softness, or rebuilding a cushion that's lost its shape entirely. For pieces with tufting or nail head trim, the custom element really shows in the finishing details.

Service Area

Buddy's Custom Upholstery serves Cabot and the surrounding Lonoke County area. Communities like Beebe, Ward, and Austin are all within easy reach. The shop is also accessible for customers coming from the north Little Rock suburbs who prefer a less congested drive.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 'custom' upholstery actually mean?
Custom upholstery means the work is tailored specifically to your piece and your preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach. You have input on fabric, cushion fill, and finishing details like welting or trim style.
How much fabric will I need to reupholster a sofa?
A standard three-cushion sofa typically requires between 12 and 20 yards of fabric depending on the pattern repeat and the complexity of the design. Your upholstery shop will give you an exact yardage estimate once they've measured the piece.
Can antique or vintage furniture be safely reupholstered?
Yes, and it's one of the most rewarding types of upholstery work. Skilled shops will inspect the antique frame carefully, make any necessary repairs, and choose materials that suit the piece's era or your design vision.
Is leather upholstery harder to maintain than fabric?
Leather is actually quite easy to maintain with routine wiping and occasional conditioning. It's resistant to most spills and doesn't trap pet hair or allergens the way fabric can, making it a practical choice for busy households.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering permanently replaces the fabric and often the padding, giving the piece a refined, tailored finish. Slipcovers are removable covers that sit over the existing upholstery, which is a more affordable short-term option but doesn't address underlying wear.
Do you work with interior designers on client projects?
Many custom upholstery shops in the area work closely with interior designers, often receiving fabric directly from design firms and coordinating timelines around renovation schedules. If you're a designer, it's worth calling ahead to discuss how the shop handles trade accounts.
