Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Cohen's Upholstery focuses on furniture reupholstery, covering everything from dining chairs and accent pieces to sofas and sectionals. The work involves removing old fabric and batting, inspecting the frame and springs for damage, replacing worn-out components, and applying fresh upholstery material. Customers typically choose from fabric samples provided by the shop, with options ranging from durable synthetics to natural textiles. For St. Louis homeowners with older furniture from the city's many pre-war bungalows and craftsman homes, getting a piece reupholstered is often more cost-effective than finding comparable quality at a furniture store.

Service Area

Cohen's Upholstery serves Saint Louis city residents and can typically accommodate customers from close-in suburbs like Maplewood, Brentwood, and University City. North and south city neighborhoods are both within reasonable range, making it a practical option for a large portion of the metro's urban core. Customers from Clayton and Ladue also find it accessible depending on the location of the shop.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the cost range for reupholstering a sofa in Saint Louis?
Sofa reupholstery in the St. Louis area typically ranges from around $600 to over $2,000 depending on the sofa's size, the fabric chosen, and how much structural repair is needed. Getting an in-person estimate is the most reliable way to get an accurate number for your specific piece.
Can you match the original fabric on a piece of furniture?
Matching original fabric exactly is often difficult since specific patterns and materials may no longer be in production. However, a shop can usually find something very close, or help you choose a complementary fabric that works well with your existing decor.
Is it cheaper to reupholster or buy new furniture in St. Louis?
For high-quality or sentimental pieces, reupholstery almost always wins on value. Mass-produced furniture at a similar price point typically uses lower-grade frames and padding, so you'd be trading a solid piece for something less durable.
Do you work on commercial furniture, like restaurant or office chairs?
Many upholstery shops handle commercial jobs, including restaurant banquettes, bar stools, and office seating. Commercial fabrics rated for high-traffic use are available and are usually specified for jobs where durability is critical.
How do I prepare my furniture before dropping it off?
You don't need to do much beyond removing any loose cushions or items stored in the piece. The shop handles disassembly and stripping as part of the job, so there's no need to remove old fabric yourself before bringing it in.
Can cushions be replaced or refilled without doing the full reupholstery?
Yes, cushion replacement or foam refilling is a common standalone service that costs significantly less than a full reupholstery job. If the fabric on your piece is still in good shape but the cushions have gone flat, this is a smart and affordable fix.
