Under the leather

The frame and foam come first

New hide over a wobbly frame or flat foam creases within months, so the inside is repaired first.

Down to bare wood

Old covers, staples and tacks all come off.

Tighten the frame

Joints that wobble get clamped, reglued and screwed.

Webbing and coils

Tired webbing replaced, springs tied again.

Fresh cushion cores

Worn foam changed before leather is fitted.

Before you choose

Leather-match or leather everywhere?

Close-up of a leather-match sofa with hide on the seat and vinyl on the outer side

Leather-match: Genuine leather on the seats, backs and arm tops; color-matched vinyl on the outer back and sides. Common on store sofas, and cheaper.
All-leather: Hide on every panel, so the sides don't crack years ahead of the seats.
What we suggest: Put the leather budget where hands and legs land. If the vinyl sides have already cracked, choose all-leather this round.

Common questions

Sofa Reupholstery CT FAQ

More on this topic:

Does reupholstering a leather sofa make sense?

When the frame is sound and you still like its shape, it usually does. With sofa reupholstery CT customers keep the old frame and get new leather and new foam, and the total often comes in below a similar new all-leather sofa.

Can the sofa come back in a different color?

It can. Every before-and-after above either changed the color or refreshed it. The leather, its grain and the exact shade are your call.

Can a fabric sofa be redone in leather?

Often, if its frame and padding suit leather. Hide has less give than cloth, so we look at how the arms and back are shaped before we say yes.

What does leather-match mean?

It is a build where real leather covers only the parts you sit on and vinyl covers the back and sides. When we reupholster, you can switch to all-leather or stay with leather-match to keep the bill down.

Is the foam replaced as well?

In most cases. Fresh leather over flattened foam turns baggy inside a few months, so each cushion gets checked and the worn ones are changed.
