Frequently Asked Questions

How do I transport a large sofa to an upholstery shop?
For large pieces, you'll need a truck, van, or SUV with the rear seats folded down. Some shops offer pickup and delivery services for an additional fee, which is worth asking about when you call. If you can't transport the piece yourself, renting a cargo van for the day is usually the most economical option.
Can you reupholster a sectional sofa?
Yes, sectionals can be reupholstered, though they require more fabric and labor than a standard sofa because of the multiple connected pieces and additional seams. The upholsterer will likely want to see the piece in person to assess how it comes apart and how the sections connect before quoting accurately. Plan for a longer turnaround time than a simple chair or loveseat.
How long does foam typically last in upholstered furniture?
Quality foam in sofas and chairs generally holds up for ten to fifteen years under normal use before it starts breaking down and losing its shape. Lower-density foam degrades faster, especially in pieces that get heavy daily use. When you reupholster, replacing the foam is usually worth the added cost because new fabric over tired padding won't look or feel as good.
What's the difference between reupholstering and slipcovers?
Reupholstering removes and replaces the fabric that's permanently attached to the furniture frame, giving you a like-new result that looks built-in. Slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over the existing upholstery, which makes them easier to wash but they rarely look as tailored. For furniture you're keeping long-term, reupholstering is almost always the better investment.
Can I supply my own fabric for a reupholstery project?
Most upholstery shops will work with customer-supplied fabric, but it's important to confirm this upfront and ask what yardage you'll need for your specific piece. The shop may also want to check that your fabric is appropriate for upholstery use, since decorator fabrics vary in durability and suitability for furniture. Buying a little extra beyond the quoted yardage is always a good idea in case of cutting errors or pattern matching needs.
Is there a minimum job size for an upholstery shop like this one?
Policies vary by shop, but most upholsterers are happy to work on single chairs or smaller pieces, not just full sofas. A dining chair cushion, an ottoman, or a single accent chair are all reasonable jobs for a focused upholstery shop. Calling ahead to describe what you have is the quickest way to find out if it's something they'd take on.
