What clients expect and what professionals need to know
Upholstery services reupholster sofas, chairs, dining seats, headboards, and custom furniture with new fabric, foam, and batting. Upholsterers remove old fabric, inspect and repair the frame, replace failed webbing with jute or sinuous spring systems, rebuild cushion cores with high-density foam (1.8+ lb density for seat cushions) and a Dacron batting wrap, then cut and sew new fabric to the original template. Fabric selection accounts for rub count (Wyzenbeek method — residential minimum 15,000 double rubs; contract 30,000+) for durability appropriate to the use.

Common questions from clients looking for Furniture Upholstery services
Quality solid-frame sofas (hardwood frame, eight-way hand-tied springs) are worth reupholstering — the internal frame and spring quality often exceed what is available in new mid-range furniture; low-quality particleboard-framed sofas are not worth the cost of professional reupholstery.
Seat cushions should use a minimum 1.8 lb/cubic foot density high-resilience foam, 5–6 inches thick; 2.0–2.5 lb density provides firmer, more durable support; wrapping with 1–2 inches of Dacron batting softens the feel while the high-density core maintains support.
For heavy-use sofas, select fabric rated at minimum 30,000 Wyzenbeek double rubs; plain weave fabrics (linen blends, velvet, faux leather) wear best; avoid loosely woven fabrics that snag; fabric width (54-inch minimum) affects how many yards are needed and seam placement.
A sofa typically takes 2–4 weeks; a dining chair takes 1–3 days; lead times extend when custom foam orders and fabric sourcing are involved; most upholsterers work from their workshop with pickup and delivery scheduled separately.
Eight-way hand-tied is the traditional premium sofa construction where each coil spring is tied to its neighbors in eight directions with sisal cord, distributing weight evenly across the seat; it provides superior support longevity compared to sinuous (S-spring) or webbing-only construction.
