A well-made sofa is worth saving, and a good workshop can rebuild its frame, replace sagging foam and dress it in fresh fabric or leather for far less than a replacement. This guide to sofa upholstery in Singapore rounds up ten established, currently-operating workshops that recover sofas, chairs and headboards, restore leather and sew custom covers. Each entry notes what the workshop itself describes, so you can shortlist before asking for a quote.

1. Cotton Ware

Cotton Ware is a Ubi-based reupholstery specialist that recovers sofas of every shape, from one-seaters to L-shaped sectionals, and handles leather sofa recovery and cushion re-covering as well as full and semi-cushioned dining chairs. Alongside furniture it fabricates curtains and blinds and offers on-site cleaning, and it invites customers to choose their own fabric or leather before work begins. Its workshop sits in the Paya Ubi Industrial Park, and appointments can be booked online.

2. DESACE

DESACE runs a Tampines factory where it reupholsters sofas, sectionals, dining chairs, wingbacks, armchairs, headboards, ottomans and benches, and also builds custom furniture to order. The company says every piece is stripped, re-webbed, re-foamed and re-covered in-house rather than outsourced, with fabrics, leathers, boucles, velvets and technical textiles to choose from. It states it has been reupholstering for more than 16 years and handles its own delivery and installation.

3. Ho Soon Lee Sofa Maker

Ho Soon Lee is an Ang Mo Kio sofa maker that both builds custom sofas and reupholsters existing ones, extending to dining chairs, upholstered wall panels and bed headboards. The workshop says it has operated since 1976 and works in genuine and synthetic leather, fabric and foam, taking on residential, commercial and contractor projects as well as collaborations with interior designers. Customers select materials before the team recovers or rebuilds each piece by hand.

4. Kia Meng Trading

Kia Meng Trading is an Ang Mo Kio workshop that reupholsters sofas and re-covers cushions, and also takes on wall padding, bay-window cushions, custom-made furniture and curtains. It offers a range of fabrics and leathers for customers to choose from and says all work is completed in Singapore rather than shipped overseas. The company states it was established in 1986 and serves homeowners, interior designers, contractors and F&B outlets.

5. Soon Seng Heng Furniture

Soon Seng Heng is a family-run furniture workshop in Bedok Reservoir that reupholsters sofas along with dining chairs, wing chairs, recliners, office chairs and older antique pieces. It also designs and installs custom blinds and curtains, and provides collection and delivery. The company says it has been in the trade for more than 30 years, having started in 1979.

6. Kor Sheng Sofa

Kor Sheng Sofa reupholsters sofas and chairs in both leather and fabric, with hundreds of fabric options and custom covering for chairs, bed headboards and cushions. It also varnishes timber frames and offers collection and delivery, serving both homes and commercial clients. The business says it has more than 50 years of experience and backs its workmanship with a one-year warranty.

7. Loft Furniture & Fabric

Loft Furniture & Fabric reupholsters sofas, chairs and bed headboards, and takes on leather restoration, cushion and padding renewal and structural frame repairs, including non-standard shapes such as U-shaped and semi-circular sofas. Customers choose from a range of fabrics and leathers, and the company offers collection and delivery across Singapore. It says its work is led by a master craftsman with more than 25 years of experience.

8. Lion City Canvas

Lion City Canvas reupholsters sofas of many kinds, including L-shaped, sectional, chesterfield, recliner and sofa-bed styles, as well as dining chairs, and offers leather repair and restoration. The company says it carries more than 500 fabric and leather options and inspects the frame, springs, webbing and foam before recovering a piece, with island-wide pickup and delivery. It also produces marine canvas and outdoor cushions, reflecting a broader upholstery workshop.

9. DKS International

DKS International is a Defu Lane upholstery workshop that reupholsters sofas, chairs and recliners in fabric or leather, replaces worn foam and filling, and makes custom slipcovers and cushions. It also builds upholstered headboards and bed frames, built-in and wall-panel seating and bespoke furniture, and offers on-site fixes for sagging, tears and loose covers. The company says it has served customers across Singapore for over 18 years and also takes on commercial and outdoor projects.

10. Fabrik

Fabrik is a soft-furnishings company whose reupholstery service recovers sofas and chairs, letting owners refresh a tired frame from a broad selection of upholstery fabrics. Customers can visit its Bukit Timah Plaza showroom to match patterns and materials during a consultation, and the company presents reupholstery as a greener alternative to buying new. It also notes that any hidden frame weakness uncovered once a piece is stripped is raised with the customer before work continues.

How to choose

  • Decide whether you need a full rebuild or a re-cover: ask if the workshop strips the piece down to the frame and replaces webbing, springs and foam, or simply fits new fabric over the existing structure.
  • Check material expertise and choice: confirm the workshop handles your material, whether fabric, leather, velvet or PVC, and ask to see its fabric and leather range, since a hard-wearing weave copes better with Singapore's humidity and daily use.
  • Get the scope in writing, including how many seats, cushions and arms are covered, whether foam and filling replacement is included, and how much material the job needs, so quotes are comparable.
  • Ask about collection and delivery and the turnaround time, as most workshops take the furniture away for one to several weeks and some offer islandwide pickup.
  • Ask for a workmanship warranty and to see past before-and-after projects, and confirm what happens if hidden frame damage is found once the piece is opened up.
