Why Reupholstery?

New furniture in most stores is now made over seas, and is not built to last. Sure you don't pay much for it and guess what your not going to get much for your money.I have been in the furniture business for over 30 years andI have seen the quality go down very quickly in the past 10 years. If you are old enough to remember when things that were made in China were cheap and poorly made, well things have not changed very much. When you see sofa for $400 on TV you know that it be much of a sofa. Well if you buy it and it last 2 or 3 years and then you buy an other one and then an other one and so on, you end up spending more then just buying a good sofa or having the sofa you already have reupholstered. Because quality lasts. Think you want a whole new look restyle your sofa or look at consignment stores and have one of those reupholstered. With thousands of fabrics to choose from re upholstery is a far better option then buying cheap throw away furniture every 2 years. And it is better for the enviorment, much less goes into the land fills no trees are cut down
and most of the old furniture is recycled.

Choose Upholstery Fabrics @ La Costa Upholstery

I talked about thread count, now I tell about fiber content. One of the things that make upholstery fabrics different the thread count, an other part of the fabric is what the fabric is made of. Fiber content can make fabric soft or rough, it can made colors bright of muted and it be the difference in how long a fabric with last.

Fabrics with rayon ( i know you hate it clothing) but it's great in upholstery fabric. It is very durable, the dyes in rayon are brighter and have better separation between colors. Cottons also have dye brighter and have good color separation and can be durable. Fibers that have tighter spun threads are not going to fray or pell and start looking worn and tired after a short time. The lower prices fabrics look old and worn where fabrics with better fiber contents look better and last longer and that makes them a better value. You get what you pay for and in the world of furniture.

Upholstery Fabrics Are Not All Made the Same

If you have gone shopping for upholstery fabrics and asked yourself why are some fabrics $50 per yard and others $19.95 per yard? How can the outlet stores sell fabric for $19.95 and what looks like the same fabric sell for $39.95 at an upholstery shop? Well not all fabrics are made the same, many companies make different grades of fabrics in the same patterns. This companies make lower grade fabric just for the outlet market . The difference is the fiber content, the thread count and the weight of the fabric. What looks like the same fabric may be very different the $19.00 fabric well have a much lower thread count, just like bed sheets the higher the thread count the better the fabric will wear.Next I talk about content.

La Costa Upholstery for Headboards

We have thousands of fabrics to choose from so you can get the exact material you need, you are not limited to what the department store have.We have many styles and can make any size you want.Call us and we come to you with fabrics and get the look you want.

La Costa Upholstery Asks Why is New Furniture so Cheap?

You may have a sofa that you are thinking of having reupholstered,but then see a ad on TV for "Jerry's" Furniture in San Diego for a new sofa for $499. Well that is so cheap it's doesn't pay to have your old sofa recovered, but wait. How can Jerry sell a sofa that was made in China shipped across the ocean, put on a truck, stored in a where house, then pay to advertise it on TV and still make a profit on the $499 sofa.

It's simple, the sofa is junk. They use the lowest grade foam that may last a year and then needs to be replaced. The frames may be made of plywood that is stapled together and will become loose when you use it. And the fabrics are of the lowest grade that will split and fray and look old in a very short time. So then the sofa ends up in the landfill and you go out a but an other piece of junk.

Now here's what to do, reupholster that well built sofa you already have with a good quality fabric that will last for years. You have a frame that is built to last for years and if the foam cushions need to be replaced, we'll do that with foam that holds it's shape.

So save your money, save the environment and get that furniture reupholstered by La Costa Upholstery.

Reupholstery by La Costa Upholstery

When looking for an upholsterer to do your furniture there are many things to concern.Are they use quality materials? The foam that is used to refill your cushions needs to be able to hold up with every day use. Polyesther fiber that is 3/4oz will last longer then thinner polys. Nylon zippers hold up better then metal zippers, they don't rust and the teeth don't break as often. Cotton thread breaks much easier then nylon thread. So ask what kinds of supplies the upholstery shop uses, because the better the products that go into your furniture the longer it will last.

New Foam in your cushions may be the Fix.

If that sofa or chair of yours is needs a little lift. If the cushions have flatten out it's time for new foam in the cushions. Most of time it's just a matter of unzipping the covers and replacing the old foam with new firmer foam and polyester. We can breath life into those old cushions and make that sofa or chair look and feel new.

Now foam comes in many firmness and you have to make sure that you get the
type that will last and keep it's shape. If you go with a foam that isn't resilient enough it will just flatten out in a short time. So ask about the different types of foam and ask to see and feel samples of the foam. The difference in foam type can be felt and seen.

New furniture what's it made of ?

You have an older sofa or chair that is sooo comfortable it just fits
you like your favorite jeans. Now it time for new fabric because
the old fabric just isn't looking so good. That piece may be made of solid hard wood that is doweled together and is made to last.
Your parents had furniture that was made the same way real wood and real springs.

Well today it's harder to find that in new furniture. There are some places that still sell it but you'll have to pay the higher prices for it. Much of today's new furniture is made of composite materials ( particle board, plywood and plastics) no springs instead elastic webbing and the grade of foam that they use in low quality and doesn't hold up over time.


So why aren't you having that old sofa reupholstered? You love the way sits and it fits you and your room. It's made much better then that new sofa on sale again this weekend for $ 600. How good can a $600 sofa be? With 1000s of fabrics to choose from you can find lots of great fabrics that will look great on your sofa.

When you reupholster that favorite sofa or chair you are not only keeping something that you love you are saving money. Why? Because it will out last that $600 new sofa because it will just last longer because it's made better.

Call us to see the new fabrics for your furniture. 760-744-1360 or e-mail lacostaupholstery@yahoo.com

Who is doing your upholstery and where?

There are many upholsterers in the area and some have been around for years.

Most customers call someone to have them come out to see the furniture and
give them a quote and that's it. They never see who is doing the work or where.

Many shops are very small and store furniture in an outdoor storage area that is
exposed to the elements. Wind, dirt, rain, birds and insects can all get to it.

The wood finishes, cotton and foam padding can get damaged.
And many other shops don't do their own work they send it out to other shops
in the area or south of the border.


When you are thinking of having something reupholstered ask if they do the work themselves and where is the work done. Are they insured for fire, thief, transportation and works comp. These things matter. Do you want to find out that your chair fell off the back the truck on the freeway and is now in pieces?
