What’s the best upholstery fabric for pets/kids?

Look for durable, stain-resistant fabrics like microfiber, performance velvet, or tightly woven cotton blends. Avoid loose weaves or delicate materials. Many modern fabrics come with performance coatings that make them easy to clean.

How much does upholstery cost?

Costs vary based on the size and complexity of the piece, and fabric choice. A simple chair might cost $200–$800 to reupholster, while a sofa can range from $1,000–$3,000. DIYing it can reduce costs significantly.

Can I reupholster over old fabric?

Technically yes, but it’s not recommended. Removing the old fabric allows for a better fit, cleaner finish, and ensures the frame and padding are in good condition.

How do I fix sagging cushions or frames?

For cushions, replace or add foam and batting. For frames, check for broken joints or webbing and use wood glue, screws, or replacement support materials to reinforce the structure.
