The restoration and reupholstery of an Antique Chaise Lounge

A chaise lounge is an upholstered sofa in the shape of a chair that is long enough to support the legs.

This rather lovely 100 year old chaise was restored and reupholstered by BJ Upholstery – below you can see it on its journey.

Bespoke replacement foams

Replacement Cushion Foams

Replacing cushion foams on your sofa/chair can bring it back to life, and make your furniture look better and more comfortable.

Replacement, cushion, foams.

New Foam inners - completed
Foam cut to size

All our replacement cushions are made to order in our workshop, bespoke to each case and your preferences.  We fit the replacement foams correctly to your cushion cases and can collect and deliver if required.  The replacement foams are fire retardant and come with a  fibre wrap and a stockinette outer for a soft touch.

Pricing

Depending on the size and shape the price for an average 26″ x 23″ x 6″ is in the region of £125 each. A large two seater sofa pair of seat foams tend to be about £275 – less if we can.  Please contact us for an accurate price – remember to include dimensions and your location if you require collection and delivery.  Our prices include the correct fitting to the case but not the disposal of the old foams. *Due to recent price increases, I am afraid, please check with us for the updated pricing.

Wingback Chair reupholstered

Our reupholstery policy

This fine wingback chair was delivered today.  As with most of our reupholstery jobs we strip the chair back to its wood frame, fix and correct the joints as needed and replace the springs and webbing.

Body Foam padding – should I replace it?

We replace the body foam on nearly all reupholstery jobs as its best advice to do so while the furniture is stripped down.  Also old foam is not fire retardant and it is often fatigued and can turn to almost dust when exposed. Yes always replace the body foam padding. It also shapes the furniture better to look better.
