A NEW DIRECTION, PERSONALLY CONSIDERED Skip the journey ↓
THE BRIEF / CONSIDER EVERY DETAIL
Comfort that respects the movement.
A folding backrest needs to work throughout its normal range. The upholstery pattern must account for the hinge area, adjoining panels and the spaces available when the seat is folded.
Discuss your piecesExplore the planning sketch

THE PRACTICAL DETAILS
Photograph the movement before the material.
01Show both normal positions+
Photograph the backrest raised and folded using its existing mechanism. Include adjacent cushions and the narrowest clearances; do not force a damaged or obstructed seat to move.
02Separate upholstery from hardware+
Explain any stiffness, loose fitting or damaged support. Recovering the pad does not repair a faulty hinge or structural mechanism. Agree who assesses the hardware before the new upholstery is patterned.
03Check bulk at the hinge+
Seam placement, piping and added foam can affect a folding edge. Discuss the finished thickness and confirm the movement with the agreed pattern or fit-check method.

BEFORE WORK BEGINS
Your questions,
considered.
Can you add more padding to a folding backrest?
Possibly, but only if the construction and movement allow it. Show the current clearance and describe the support you want; more depth is not automatically a better fit.
Will you repair the folding mechanism?
This page covers the upholstery brief. Any mechanism repair must be separately assessed and agreed with the appropriate party; do not assume it is included in recovering the seat.
FAST QUOTES & UK-WIDE COURIER
