Services & Process

This specialization typically includes sofas, accent chairs, dining chairs, window seats, and headboards. Customers can expect help selecting from a range of fabric options, including performance fabrics suited to high-use pieces and pet-friendly households. The work usually involves replacing worn foam and padding as well as the outer fabric, so the finished piece feels as renewed as it looks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Tho's match the original fabric style of my furniture?
Experienced upholstery shops can often source fabrics that closely match an original pattern or texture, especially for traditional styles. If an exact match isn't possible, they can recommend similar options that maintain the piece's original character.
Is it possible to reupholster just the cushions instead of the whole sofa?
Yes, cushion-only reupholstery is a common request and a cost-effective way to refresh a sofa when the frame and outer fabric are still in decent shape. New foam and fabric on the seat and back cushions alone can make a significant visual and comfort difference.
Do I need to bring my furniture into the shop, or can someone come to me?
Most reupholstery work is done in the shop since it requires specialized tools and workspace. However, some shops offer in-home estimates or even pickup services for large items, so it's worth asking when you first contact them.
What's the best fabric for a sofa in a Brighton apartment with pets?
Performance fabrics like Crypton, Sunbrella, or tightly woven microfibers are popular choices for pet households because they resist scratches, stains, and odors better than natural fabrics. An upholstery professional can show you swatches and help you pick something durable and stylish.
How do I know if my furniture is worth reupholstering?
The main thing to assess is the frame. If it's solid wood and structurally sound, reupholstery almost always makes sense, especially for quality pieces. A shop like Tho's can take a quick look and give you an honest assessment before you commit to anything.
Can dining chairs be reupholstered affordably?
Dining chair seats are actually one of the most affordable and impactful reupholstery projects. A set of six chairs can often be refreshed at a reasonable per-chair cost, and the visual difference in a dining room is immediate. Drop-in seats are especially quick to redo.
