Domestic Upholstery

Domestic upholstery means keeping the furniture that still fits your home, and changing the parts that have worn out. Sofas, armchairs, dining chairs, headboards, ottomans and benches all follow the same workshop path: inspect the frame, restore comfort, then recover with a fabric that matches how you actually live.

From Hayes we collect, strip, repair and sew so the piece returns looking new without the waste of replacing it. If you like the shape and the timber is sound, recovering is usually the more practical choice.

  • Sofas and chairs
  • Beds and headboards
  • Foam and comfort
  • West London collection

Honest comparison

Advantages & disadvantages

What this service does well — and what to weigh up before you commit.

Advantages

  • Keeps furniture that already fits your room and your habits
  • You choose cloth, foam firmness and finish — not a showroom compromise
  • Usually costs less than replacing a solid hardwood-framed piece
  • Workshop repair can fix wear before it becomes a full recover

Disadvantages

  • A weak or chipboard frame may not be worth covering
  • Lead time depends on fabric order and workshop queue
  • Photos give a first quote; inspection can change the price
  • Pattern matching on busy cloths needs more fabric and care

This page is a good fit if…

  • Family sofas with a solid frame
  • Dining sets that no longer match the room
  • Armchairs you would rather keep than replace
Quick answers
