Foam and Cushion Replacement

The usual signs are cushions that no longer spring back after you stand up, seating that feels like you're sinking toward the frame, uneven height between cushions, or having to push yourself up to get out of the chair. If you're unsure, send us a photo and tell us how it feels to sit on — we can usually tell from there.

Not always. Straightforward jobs can be done in your home. More complex work — where cushions are sewn in, or the frame and webbing need attention — is done in our workshop. We'll let you know which applies when we quote so there are no surprises.

Yes. Where the webbing or support underneath has stretched or given way, replacing it is included in the per-seat price. There's no separate charge for it.

In-home jobs are usually completed in a single visit. Workshop jobs depend on the complexity and the size of the piece — we'll give you a timeframe when we quote.

Yes. Fixed and sewn-in cushions can be opened up, refilled and closed again. It's more involved than a removable cushion, which is why this type of job is usually done in the workshop rather than in your home.

That depends on the density of the foam and how much the piece gets used, but properly specified foam should give you many years of comfortable use. We'll recommend a density based on how you use the furniture — a daily-use family sofa needs something different to a formal lounge chair.

If the frame is solid and you're happy with the covering, replacing the foam is almost always the better value — you keep a piece you already like at a fraction of the cost of replacement. If the frame has gone or the covering is at the end of its life, we'll tell you honestly and talk you through the alternatives.

Yes. We can replace or top up feather and fibre-filled cushions, or convert them to foam if you'd prefer firmer support. We'll talk through the options and how each one will feel before we go ahead.
