Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Foam replacement involves cutting new foam inserts to exact dimensions and density specifications to restore the feel and support of cushions in sofas, chairs, window seats, and other furniture. Canvas work covers fabrication of outdoor furniture covers, boat canvas, cushion covers for patio sets, and similar projects where durability against sun and moisture matters. Furniture reupholstery using both foam and fabric together is the core of most projects, combining the structural cushion work with the visible exterior covering. Customers can select from various foam densities and fabric weights depending on whether the piece lives indoors, outdoors, or on the water.

Service Area

Hoffman Foam and Canvas serves the San Diego area, with particular demand from boat owners docking at Shelter Island and Mission Bay who need marine canvas and seat cushion work. Homeowners throughout San Diego County bring in patio furniture and indoor pieces for foam replacement and reupholstery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Hoffman Foam and Canvas replace just the foam in my cushions without reupholstering?
Yes, if your fabric covers are still in good shape, they can remove them, cut new foam inserts to match your dimensions, and reassemble everything. It's a cost-effective way to restore a saggy cushion without replacing the whole cover.
What foam density should I choose for a sofa versus outdoor furniture?
Indoor sofa cushions typically use medium to high-density foam for a balance of comfort and durability. Outdoor cushions benefit from open-cell or quick-dry foam that doesn't retain moisture after rain or splashing.
Do they work on boat cushions and marine upholstery?
Yes, foam and canvas work naturally extends to marine applications. San Diego's boating community regularly needs seat cushions, helm pads, and cockpit cushions replaced with materials that hold up to saltwater and direct sun.
How long do new foam cushions last?
Quality foam cushions typically last 10 to 15 years with normal indoor use. Outdoor foam exposed to the elements may have a shorter lifespan, though marine-grade materials and UV-resistant covers significantly extend durability.
Can I order custom-sized foam cuts for a window seat or built-in bench?
Custom foam cutting is one of the practical advantages of a foam-focused shop. Bring your dimensions or the piece itself, and they'll cut foam to fit exactly, which is especially useful for non-standard built-in applications.
What canvas fabrics work best for San Diego's outdoor conditions?
Sunbrella and similar acrylic-based fabrics are the standard recommendation for San Diego's sun-heavy climate. They resist UV fading, dry quickly, and hold up well to the occasional coastal moisture without mildewing.
