Why Recover you older furniture ?

Quality. The quality of your sofa is another factor that deserves consideration. If you have splurged on your sofa but need to cover a, it is logical to get it upholstered instead of replacing it with a new one. Usually, older furniture is considered high quality as it has heavy hardwood frames, high density foam, horsehair or cotton padding and eight-way, hand-tied coil springs that enhance its durability and increase its value. On the other hand, newer furniture , is often made of plywood and particular board and doesn't have springs.
They use elastic webbing and isn't made to last more then a few years at best .
For almost 38 years of business we have seen the quality of furniture continually go 
down hill , much of it is not worth keeping .
So if you have older furniture consider getting it re upholstery and have something of 
value and will last for years.

Much of today's new leather upholstered furniture is very poorly made. The frames are
made with particle board and cheap foam . Neither hold up to a family's use.
Even the leather , if it's real leather is a low grade that hasn't been processed correctly
and can peel after a few years of use. That is how you can buy "leather furniture for less
today then 20 years ago.
Because 20 years ago the furniture was made of real wood , springs  and high grade foam .
La Costa Upholstery carries top quality leather from Wipelli , Greenhouse  and others.
Leathers that will stand the test of time . We can re upholstery your furniture or make you
a new sofa or chair , and you'll have something that will last for years.

Reasons for reupholstering

Reasons for reupholstering

You may want to leave your sofa the way it is for as long as you can, but when is it time to give it a face lift?
Type. Your sofa could be an antique piece of furniture or one that carries a sentimental value. This type of sofa is hard to replace as it has unique craftsmanship and features that modern furniture lacks. Many of such sofas come with either plain or elaborately carved frames made of durable wood which is not only valuable but also irreplaceable.
Quality. The quality of your sofa is another factor that deserves consideration. If you have splurged on your sofa but need to cover an unmovable stain, it is logical to get it upholstered instead of replacing it with a new one. Usually, older furniture is considered high quality as it has heavy hardwood frames, high density foam, horsehair or cotton padding and eight-way, hand-tied coil springs that enhance its durability and increase its value. On the other hand, newer furniture of good quality contains a built-in mechanism made of hardwood and has solid features like maple framework and eight-way hand-tied springs.
Comfort level and stability. The comfort level depends on the softness or springiness of sofa seat, its height, its material, the width of the seat, the height of the headrest and its stability. If you feel safe and enjoy sitting on your sofa all these while, upholstering it may seem more sensible than replacing it if the fabric or leather is stained or discolored due to age. Feeling comfortable also translates to accepting your sofa as a distinctive part of the room.
Cost. As a general rule of thumb, reupholstering a piece of furniture costs about 50-65% less than purchasing a brand new one. However, the percentage depends on the type of fabric to be replaced and any structural repairs needed to be performed by an upholsterer. Perform comparison shopping by asking for quotes to gauge the cost of upholstering in order to determine whether upholstering is a better option.

La Costa Upholstery Makes Custom Headboards

La Costa Upholstery makes upholstered head boards! All sizes from Twin to King, many different shapes to choose from and you can have them made plain or with buttons. Add nail trim channels, rolls or bands for that little something extra.

What to look for in Fabric

The next thing to look for in fabrics is the fiber content. Not all fibers wear the same, some fibers peel and look fussy. Some look more plastic than cloth and feel rough, not soft, and not comfortable. Many lower cost fabrics are made of low grade fibers that don’t wear well. They look old and tired in a short time. 

Better fibers like rayon, cotton and polyester look better over the long term. Their colors are more vibrant with better color separation and more defined patterns. These fibers also wear much better and look better longer. So invest in better fabrics and your upholstery will wear well, look and clean better and last longer.


Come by our showroom and see the new fabrics for both in door and out door upholstery, we have the largest selection of upholstery sample books in North County , and with over 40 years of experience we can help you find the fabrics that will work best for you.

Reupholstery Versus New Furniture

The furniture you already have is better then most of the new furniture you find in the store today. Over the years furniture went from being made in the USA out of hard wood and having real springs to today where it's made in China with elastic webbing and "engineered wood".

What is engineered wood? Well it's a new term for plywood or particle board. The term engineered wood sounds like someone from MIT came up with a new way to grow super trees, but it's just plywood. And that's not what good furniture is made of it's "junk".

Sure the furniture looks good in the store, but when you get it home and use it; the frame will start to sag ,the webbing  stretches,  and you find the cushions get flat. And in a year your new furniture needs help , new foam in the cushions ,new springs or more.

So save yourself lots of money and get your furniture reupholstered or slip covered and have something worth owning that will last for years. La Costa Upholstery is San Diego's best choice for reupholstery and slip covers . We have the largest fabric sample selection in the area. Call, email or come by the shop.

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 flattened out, it’s time for new foam in the cushions.
Most of the 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 like 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. Just email us your cushions sizes and we can get back to you with with a price . Not all foam is made the same.

Best Leather Upholstery Line

Leather is the way to go when it comes to recovering an old chair or sofa that has a great frame. Leather is timeless; it never goes out of style. When looking for leather to recover an old piece make sure the color goes all the way through the hide, not just on the top. If it doesn't, the color will wear off. Stay away from the recast imitation leather; it peels and degrades; it doesn't last. La Costa Upholstery is a supplier of Wipelli Leather, an importer of fine Itailan leathers. Visit our showroom and see all the leather samples we carry.
