Services & Process

As both a fabric store and reupholstery shop, UFO offers customers the ability to browse and select from a wide range of upholstery-grade materials, including vinyl, microfiber, velvet, and patterned fabrics suited for different furniture types. Their reupholstery service covers sofas, chairs, ottomans, and dining seating, where old fabric and worn foam padding are stripped away and replaced with fresh materials. Cushion replacement is part of the process, addressing sagging or flattened foam that makes furniture uncomfortable even when the outer fabric still looks decent. Customers can bring in swatches or photos to match existing decor.

Service Area

UFO-Upholstery Fabric Outlet is based in National City and regularly serves customers throughout the South Bay corridor, including Chula Vista, Bonita, and the broader San Diego metro area. The shop's location along the I-5 and SR-54 corridors makes it accessible for residents coming from both the south county and central San Diego neighborhoods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I buy fabric here without having my furniture reupholstered?
Yes, the retail fabric side of the shop operates independently from the reupholstery service. You can purchase yardage for DIY projects, slipcovers, or other home sewing needs without booking any repair work.
How do I know how much fabric to buy for a sofa?
The staff can help you calculate yardage based on your sofa's dimensions and the fabric's pattern repeat. It's always smart to bring measurements or even photos of the piece so the estimate is as accurate as possible.
What types of furniture can be reupholstered?
Most upholstered furniture is fair game, including sofas, loveseats, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards, and ottomans. The shop can assess whether a piece's frame is sturdy enough to justify the investment before any work begins.
Is it worth reupholstering an old couch versus buying a new one?
If the frame is solid hardwood and the piece has sentimental value or quality construction, reupholstery often costs less than replacing it with something comparable. Cheaper modern furniture sometimes isn't worth the reupholstery cost, so it's worth asking for an honest assessment.
Do you carry outdoor or marine-grade fabrics?
Many fabric outlet shops in the South Bay stock solution-dyed acrylic and vinyl fabrics rated for outdoor or wet environments. Ask specifically about UV resistance and moisture tolerance when selecting fabric for patio furniture or boat cushions.
How long does a typical reupholstery job take in National City?
Most standard furniture pieces take between one and two weeks from drop-off to pickup. Larger sectionals or projects requiring frame repairs may take longer, and turnaround can vary during busy seasons.
