Furniture Reupholstery

Services & Process

Furniture reupholstery at Roy's means stripping down a piece to its frame, evaluating the internal structure and foam, and rebuilding the upholstered surfaces from the inside out. Cushion replacement is a core part of this process, including selecting the right foam density for comfort and longevity. Fabric selection is part of the job too, and experienced upholsterers guide customers toward materials that fit both the piece's construction and the household's practical needs. Whether it's a formal wingback chair or a well-worn sectional, the goal is a piece that looks new and holds up to daily use.

Service Area

Roy's Upholstering is located in Salem and serves customers throughout the capital area and surrounding Willamette Valley communities. Residents from Keizer, Dallas, and the West Salem area regularly access upholstery shops based in central Salem. The shop's central location makes it convenient for most mid-valley customers making a drop-off or pickup trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my furniture frame is worth reupholstering?
A solid hardwood frame that doesn't wobble, creak excessively, or show signs of rot is almost always worth recovering. An upholsterer will check the frame during the initial assessment and give you an honest read on whether it can support new work.
Can you match a specific fabric pattern I found online or at a store?
Most upholstery shops can work with customer-supplied fabric if you purchase enough yardage for the job. Just confirm the shop's policy beforehand, since some have minimum quality requirements for materials they'll work with.
How much fabric does it take to reupholster a standard sofa?
A typical three-cushion sofa requires roughly 12 to 15 yards of fabric, though tufting, patterns, and arm styles can push that number higher. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact yardage after examining the piece so you don't under-order.
Can you replace just the cushions without reupholstering the whole piece?
Yes, cushion replacement alone is a common and cost-effective option if the rest of the fabric is still in decent shape. New foam cores or wrapped batting can dramatically change how a sofa or chair feels without the cost of a full recover.
What's the difference between reupholstery and slipcovers?
Reupholstery permanently replaces the fabric by rebuilding the piece from the frame up, while slipcovers are removable fabric covers that fit over existing upholstery. Reupholstery gives a cleaner, more tailored look and lasts longer, while slipcovers are more affordable and easier to change out.
How long should reupholstered furniture last before needing work again?
Quality reupholstery with good fabric and fresh foam should last 10 to 15 years under normal household use. Choosing a higher-grade fabric and having the internal padding replaced properly during the job makes a big difference in longevity.
