Re-covering seats

Post by Nij »

Hey guys, just wondered where you got the material from for re-covering seats/matresses? Pref someone Hudds/West Yorks area

I can find a load of material for curtains, but struggling with the seats :(


Thanks

There are lots of options coming up for upholstery fabric on Ebay, although you do have to fight your way through the chintz. I bought a thick cord for my bed (again from an Ebay supplier), it wasn't expensive but is hard wearing and looks smart.

My problem with eBay is you cannot tell the quality of the material.
Do you have the item/seller saved?

Cheers

Many will send you a sample first if you ask. I'll go through my (far too many) EBay purchases and see if I can find the name of the store I used, their prices were very reasonable and they had a wide choice.

Found it! This is the Ebay trader I used, I got a chunky cord and it's working well - I did consider the denims too. They offer samples for £1, worth a try if you're not sure what to choose.
