Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth reupholstering a sofa, or should I just buy a new one?
If your sofa has a solid hardwood frame and good bones, reupholstering can give it another decade or more of life at a fraction of what a comparable new piece would cost. Many newer sofas use cheaper frames that won't last as long as a properly restored older piece. It's also a more sustainable choice than sending furniture to a landfill.
Can Upholstery Today match a specific fabric pattern I already have?
Pattern matching is a real skill in upholstery, and it's important to discuss this upfront so the shop can account for extra fabric yardage in the estimate. If you have an existing fabric you love, bringing a swatch helps the team find something complementary or identical if it's still available. Most experienced upholsterers have access to a wide range of fabric suppliers.
Do you replace foam and padding, or just the fabric?
A good reupholstery job almost always includes evaluating the foam and padding, not just recovering the piece with new fabric. Old foam breaks down and compresses over time, so replacing it alongside the fabric ensures the finished piece is comfortable and looks right. Your upholsterer should discuss this with you before finalizing the quote.
How much fabric will I need for a standard armchair?
A typical armchair requires roughly three to five yards of fabric depending on the style, size, and whether you're matching a pattern. Sofas can require anywhere from eight to fifteen yards or more. Your upholsterer will calculate the exact yardage needed and factor pattern repeats into the estimate before you order.
Can you reupholster a headboard or just traditional furniture?
Headboards are a very common reupholstery request and are generally straightforward to work with. Whether it's a simple padded panel or a tufted design with buttons, an upholstery shop can strip the old fabric, refresh the padding, and apply a new material in whatever finish you choose. It's a great way to update a bedroom without replacing the whole bed frame.
What's the price range for furniture reupholstery in Newton, MA?
Pricing varies widely based on the size of the piece, fabric choice, and condition of the existing padding and frame. A dining chair might run a couple hundred dollars, while a full sofa could range from several hundred to over a thousand depending on complexity. Getting an in-person estimate is always the most accurate way to budget for the project.
