Benefits of Sustainable Furniture?

Household Options At South West Upholstery

The benefits of upholstering your furniture is an incredibly rewarding feeling. With years of experience, we are able to offer you a range of domestic upholstery options depending on your needs. Whether you require traditional household upholstery or modern household upholstery, we can do both! Perhaps you’re after completely new upholstery, with new foam, or simply looking for a re-vamp with some household re-upholstery.

As your domestic and household upholstery experts, we are very open with the type of upholstery you will be getting. It’s important for you to state with us whether you would like to upholster your piece traditionally so that we can use traditional, natural fillings (i.e no foam!) to upholstery your furniture piece. This technique requires much more time to complete and cannot be rushed.

Highly recommend southwest upholstery! The lady in reception (Leanne I think), responds very promptly to any query and the chair is unrecognisable from the dog chewed and completely flat one I left them with. Only problem now is its too perfect to sit on...

We had spoken with other upholsters and quite frankly not only were we unimpressed, we began to worry if we would find anyone who could help us reupholster our two much loved large sofas and armchair. Then we came across a TV interview on South West Upholstery and their approach to sustainability. We went along to see their set up and what they had to offer. From that very first visit to selecting the fabrics with their guidance, placing our order, collection of the items and then receiving our newly upholstered furniture back, we received a first class professional service throughout. Without exception, everyone we have met or spoken with at SWU have gone above and beyond in helping us get a fantastic outcome to our treasured sofas and armchair. We are so pleased with the work SWU did for us.

A helpful and friendly service from the first phone contact to final delivery of 6 upholstered kitchen chairs. Having a local service offering a collection and delivery service was ideal. The van drivers were friendly and did all the carrying of heavy oak kitchen chairs. The estimated time for completion of the project was around 30 days but we were pleasantly surprised to receive a phone call a week later that the chairs were ready. The finished project was excellent- we are very pleased with the quality of the work. We highly recommend this company and will return to them if we have other projects to complete.

We will strip down your furniture, make any repairs to the frame that are required to ensure a solid foundation for us to work from. Any loose joints will be doweled, glued and screwed. We always remove the original layer of cloth and never go over the top of your existing upholstery.
