Services

Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery here likely includes cushion replacement alongside traditional fabric work, which sets foam-focused shops apart. Cushion cores break down over time, and replacing the foam is often the reason a sofa starts sagging even when the fabric looks fine. The shop can cut custom foam to specific dimensions and densities, meaning your replacement cushions will match the original feel or improve on it. Full reupholstery jobs layer the new foam with appropriate batting and then wrap the piece in your chosen upholstery fabric.

Service Area

Kentuckiana Foam serves Louisville and the broader Kentuckiana area, including southern Indiana communities like New Albany, Jeffersonville, and Clarksville just across the Ohio River. Jefferson County and surrounding Kentucky counties are all part of their regular service area. Their central Louisville location makes them accessible from most parts of the metro.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my sofa needs new foam or just new fabric?
Press down on the cushion and see how quickly it bounces back. If it stays compressed or feels lumpy, the foam is likely broken down. If it springs back but just looks worn or stained, new fabric may be enough.
What foam density is best for sofa cushions?
Most residential sofas use foam rated between 1.8 and 2.5 pounds per cubic foot. Higher density foam lasts longer and holds its shape better, so investing in 2.0 or above usually pays off over time.
Can you replace just one cushion instead of all of them?
Yes, it's possible to replace a single cushion, though there may be a slight variation in feel compared to the others if they're significantly worn. A good shop will try to match the original density as closely as possible.
Is reupholstering furniture in Louisville environmentally friendlier than buying new?
Generally yes. Reupholstery keeps usable furniture frames out of landfills and reduces the demand for new manufacturing. It's a practical way to reduce waste while keeping a piece you already like.
Do you work on commercial furniture like office chairs or restaurant booths?
Many upholstery shops handle commercial work in addition to residential pieces. Restaurant booths, hotel room seating, and office furniture all get reupholstered regularly. It's worth calling ahead to confirm capacity for commercial volume.
How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
Rent a cargo van or truck if you don't have one, and bring help to carry it. Some shops offer pickup and delivery for an additional fee, which is worth asking about for oversized pieces.
