Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between reupholstering and slip-covering furniture?
Reupholstery involves completely replacing the fabric, foam, and sometimes the springs inside a piece, which produces a more durable and tailored result. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that go over existing upholstery and are a more temporary, less fitted solution.
How many yards of fabric does it take to reupholster a sofa?
A standard three-seat sofa typically requires between 12 and 20 yards of fabric, depending on its size and the pattern of the material you choose. Fabrics with large repeating patterns require extra yardage to ensure the pattern lines up correctly across cushions and panels.
Can you reupholster a sectional sofa?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they require more fabric and labor than a traditional sofa because of the multiple connected pieces. It's worth getting a detailed quote since pricing varies quite a bit based on the configuration and size of the sectional.
What fabric types are best for homes with pets?
Performance fabrics and tightly woven materials like microfiber, canvas-weight cotton blends, and synthetic options marketed as pet-friendly tend to hold up best. They resist punctures, are easier to clean, and don't trap pet hair the way some looser weaves do.
Do you reupholster headboards?
Yes, headboard reupholstery is a common request and a relatively straightforward project that makes a significant visual difference in a bedroom. You can change the fabric, adjust the padding thickness, or add button tufting during the process.
Is the cost of reupholstery worth it compared to buying new furniture?
It depends on the piece. Solid-frame furniture, especially hardwood pieces, is almost always worth restoring because modern furniture at similar price points often uses lower-quality construction. The math changes if the frame itself is damaged or if the piece holds no sentimental or design value to you.
