Chaise Longue Upholstery — frequently asked questions
- How much does chaise longue upholstery cost?
- A modern chaise recover is typically £700–£1,400; a Victorian button-back or scroll-back chaise, rebuilt in traditional materials with new deep buttoning, usually runs £1,500–£3,500. Fabric is the biggest variable — velvet and silk damask can add £400–£1,000 on their own.
- Can antique chaise frames be restored too?
- Yes. The show wood is French polished and any loose joints, castors or carved detail are repaired alongside the upholstery so the piece is genuinely usable again — not just cosmetic.
- How much fabric do I need?
- A typical chaise longue needs 10–14 metres of plain fabric; add 20–30% for large-pattern repeats. Send photos and dimensions and we'll confirm exact metreage before you order fabric.
- Do you offer deep buttoning?
- Yes — deep diamond buttoning is a chaise longue signature and every upholsterer in our network does it as standard. You can choose covered buttons in the seat fabric or a contrast.
- How long does the work take?
- A straightforward chaise recover is 3–5 weeks; a full traditional restoration with new springs, buttoning and show-wood work is typically 6–10 weeks.
