Van Seat Upholstery

Work van seats rebuilt so a long day does not wreck your back

Vans

Van seats are a workplace. Foam goes on the driver side, cloth picks up dust and tools, and the passenger seat is a temporary desk. Recovering or re-foaming a sound seat is cheaper than a new van interior and kinder on a bad back.

Say whether it is a single cab, crew cab or a converted van. Crew seats and boxes are different patterns.

  • Driver seats
  • Crew cabs
  • Work foam
  • Wipeable covers

Van seat foam and covers restored for work use
Vehicle seats come to the bench. Most cars, taxis, vans and motorcycle seats unbolt and travel to Hayes. Camper cushions usually do too. Mention airbags, heating or odd brackets in the first photos.
What this actually includes

Explained, not just listed.

01

Driver foam

The collapsed side recut so you sit level at the wheel.

02

Work covering

A cloth or vinyl that can take dust, bags and workwear.

03

Passenger seat

A second seat recovered only if it needs it.

04

Base check

Runners and tilt checked — covering a seized seat is wasted money.

How the job runs

From photos to a piece you can sit on.

A clear path from first pictures to workshop finish — so you always know what happens next.

  1. Photos in the cab

    Seat, bolster, and the van type.

  2. Choose toughness

    Looks come second to a cover you can wipe.

  3. Workshop

    Seat out, foam and covering on the bench.

  4. Back to work

    Returned so Monday starts on a level seat.
