About D & S Upholstery

D & S Upholstery is based in Arnold, Missouri, a Jefferson County community located along the Meramec River south of St. Louis. With a perfect 5.0 rating from its first review, the shop is off to a strong start. Arnold serves a largely residential population, and its proximity to Imperial, Barnhart, and the Jefferson County suburbs creates solid demand for furniture repair and reupholstery from homeowners looking for local, trustworthy service. Small shops like this one often offer a more personal experience than larger operations.

Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

D & S Upholstery handles furniture reupholstery for home furnishings of all types, including sofas, recliners, dining chairs, and ottomans. The process involves pulling off worn or damaged fabric, replacing foam padding that's lost its support, and recovering the piece with new material chosen by the customer. Recliners require particular skill because of their mechanical components, and a shop experienced with these pieces will know how to disassemble and reassemble them without affecting the reclining mechanism. Fabric choices typically include upholstery-grade wovens, microfiber, vinyl, and sometimes leather or faux leather.

Service Area

D & S Upholstery is located in Arnold, Missouri, and serves customers throughout Jefferson County and southern St. Louis County. Nearby communities including Imperial, Barnhart, Festus, and Byrnes Mill are all within a short drive. The shop is a convenient option for residents south of the city who don't want to travel all the way into St. Louis proper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is reupholstering a recliner more expensive than a regular chair?
Recliners do typically cost more to reupholster because of their mechanical parts and the extra labor involved in disassembly and reassembly. Expect to pay somewhat more than you would for a standard armchair of similar size.
What kind of foam is best for replacing sofa cushions?
High-density foam, usually rated at 1.8 to 2.5 pounds per cubic foot, holds up well for everyday seating and maintains its shape longer than bargain foam. A good upholstery shop will help you choose the right density and firmness for your use case.
Can you reupholster outdoor furniture?
Yes, but the fabric choice matters a lot. Outdoor pieces need solution-dyed acrylic or marine-grade vinyl that resists UV fading, mold, and moisture. Make sure the shop you choose has experience with outdoor applications.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
A pickup truck or cargo van works well for most sofas. Some shops in the Arnold area offer pickup and delivery services for an added fee, which can be worth it for heavy or awkward pieces. Ask when you call to schedule.
Does reupholstering a sofa include replacing the cushion inserts?
Not always. Some shops quote fabric replacement separately from foam replacement. If your cushions have gone flat or lumpy, ask specifically about replacing the foam inserts as part of the job.
How long should reupholstered furniture last?
With quality fabric and proper foam, a well-reupholstered piece can last 10 to 20 years, especially if the underlying frame is solid. Regular cleaning and avoiding direct sunlight will help extend the life of the new material.
