Is Your Furniture Worth Reupholstering?
Furniture Worth Saving
Reupholstery allows you to preserve a piece you already love while creating something completely custom. Instead of settling for whatever is available in stores, you can choose fabrics, trims, cushion comfort, and details that fit your home and your lifestyle.
Whether you’re restoring a family heirloom, updating a favorite sofa, or giving thrifted furniture a second life, professional upholstery offers a sustainable way to invest in furniture you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Furniture is often a great candidate for upholstery if it has:
- Comfortable proportions
- Solid hardwood construction
- A frame that feels sturdy
- Sentimental value
- Designer or vintage quality
- A style worth preserving
Custom Covers Call for Custom Inserts
Your fabric may be what you see first, but your cushions and pillows determine how your furniture feels every single day.
When reupholstering, it’s often the perfect opportunity to replace worn-out foam, restore lost support, or completely change the comfort level of your furniture, but we can give you our expert advice if this is needed immediately. Limiting textile waste and all the goes along with reupholstering furniture is a key component in our workroom at Threadul Things. We can examine your existing inserts and revitalize them for another 1-2 years depending on wear.
Whether you’re looking for a plush sink-in sofa or a firmer seat with lasting support, we’ll help determine the best option for your furniture and how you actually use it.
We can source high-quality cushion materials designed for a variety of comfort preferences, including:
- Soft, Medium, & Firm Comfort Levels
- Indoor & Outdoor Safe Options
- Custom-cut replacement inserts
- High-density Polyurethane Foam – wrapped in a synthetic batting for a smooth finish
- Natural Latex Foam – wrapped in cotton batting for a smooth finish
Love The Frame But Not The Fabric?
Choosing the right fabric is just as important as choosing the right furniture.
Every home has different needs. Families with children may prioritize stain-resistant performance fabrics, while pet owners often need fabrics that resist snags and wear. Other projects call for luxurious textures, natural fibers, or designer statement fabrics.
At Threadful Things, we’ll help you compare fiber content, durability, cleanability, texture, pattern scale, and color so your finished piece not only looks beautiful but performs well for years to come.
We also have access to hundreds of upholstery fabrics from trusted mills and designer collections.

Upholstery FaQ
Fabric yardage depends on the size of your furniture, the style of the piece, pattern repeat, and whether your chosen fabric has a directional pattern. During your estimate, we’ll calculate the required yardage so you can order the correct amount without unnecessary waste.
In the meantime, Explore Our Starting Pricing & Yardage Estimates.
We’ll discuss your furniture, evaluate its condition, review your goals, and help you select fabrics and cushion options. You’ll also have the opportunity to ask questions about construction, timelines, pricing, and any repairs your furniture may need before upholstery begins.
The best fabric depends on how your furniture is used. Homes with pets or children often benefit from durable performance fabrics, while formal spaces may prioritize texture or designer aesthetics. We’ll help you compare durability, cleanability, color, and feel to find the best fit for your lifestyle.
Yes. We can replace foam, alter existing cushion covers, or create completely new custom cushion inserts and covers depending on the condition of your furniture and the level of comfort you’re looking for.
Explore Our Custom Cushions.
A professionally upholstered piece using quality materials can last many years. Longevity depends on the condition of the frame, the quality of the foam and fabric, and how heavily the furniture is used. Investing in premium materials often extends the life of your furniture significantly.
Our high density foam is known to last 7-10 years.
The best candidates for upholstery typically have solid wood frames, sturdy construction, and stable foundations. Even if the fabric, foam, or webbing is worn out, many well-built pieces can be restored.
During your consultation, we’ll evaluate whether reupholstery is a worthwhile investment or explore whether a custom slipcover is right for your piece.
If your furniture is structurally sound but showing worn fabric, faded upholstery, flattened cushions, or outdated style, reupholstery is often an excellent option. It’s also a great choice when you can’t find comparable quality furniture at today’s prices.
Our lead time ranges from 4-6 weeks for custom upholstery, but many projects can be completed within the first 4 weeks!
