Leather Recling Sofas - Re Padding?

skyking_comms

I have a 2 seat and 3 seat leather sofas. They were bought from MFI but a couple of the seats have gone flat, so I was wondering if they can be repadded? The padding appears to be held in by woven straps.
Grateful for any advice

Anybody any ideas? Ideally looking for a company who specialise in repadding leather sofas in the Gloucestershire area.

Hi
Contact the AMU (Association of Master Upholsterers) who will help you find someone in your area.
Hope this helps

This is a money saving method,get a 12"x12"x2" foam square and part the elastic webs in seat base and feed the foam square into the seat.This will give you a nice dome to your seat.This is how a DFS/SCS/FV service upholsterer would tackle the issue.
Anybody from the AMU would charge you loads of money.

You just pull the webs to the sides,might help if you have a pal helping,scrunch up the new foam and push it in the gap between the webs then fold the new foam flat.
Otherwise you have to strip the covers off and detach the seat frame.
