New and Recovered cushions

We wanted new cushions and seat pads for our cherished sofa and went to Dee Cee upholstery for these. On visiting the store the service we got was fantastic and after discussion and advice from the lady in the store we ordered the cushion interiors and they were going to rewrap and change wadding on seat pads as the foam was okay. This was all arranged quickly and efficiently and we arranged to drop covers off so they could put them on the new interiors and the seat pads for us. They asked us to call back the following week to pick up the cushions and pads. During the week we damaged one off the seat pad covers in our washing machine so we called into Dee Cee and they said this was no problem and would put new matching materiel on seat pad and all would be available to collect as arranged within a few days. We called to collect on the Thursday and all was done as promised with new cushions and rewrapped, repaired seat pads which matched perfectly with our sofa. I would highly recommend Dee Cee upholstery for their great service and expertise.

Stool Recovered

Having just had my wing chair reupholstered I asked Dee Cee to recover a stool to match the chair. Once again they did an excellent job the chair and stool matching one another perfectly.

Our customer from Bassett was so pleased with the wing chair that we recently re-upholstered, he placed an order to have his 50 inch long foot stool re-upholstered to match in the check fabric. We stripped it out to the base frame and replaced the foam, this brought the foot stool up to the latest fire retardant standards. Thank you for your continued business.

Excellent job. The chair was looking very tired but i received professional advice on the work needed and it was then done on time and in budget at a fair price. Chair now better than new!

Our customer from Bassett returned to us after 15 years when we last re-upholstered his chair. The check fabric that he had chosen was pattern matched to the delight of our customer. We also replaced the seat cushion interior giving his chair a new lease of life.

Our customer from Pooks Green in Marchwood had a Parker Knoll 2 seater sofa and matching arm chair. Together with a Celebrity rise and recline chair re-upholstered in matching Chenille. We also applied anti stain protection with 5 year insurance backed guarantee. Our customers were so pleased with the end result, they said that they would welcome any potential customers to view our work in their home.
Sofa seat cushions

We had a problem with the cushions on a sofa we bought recently as they were too deep and lumpy. We took them to Dee Cee Upholstery who were happy to discuss our problem and then went on to alter them and renew the filling. This has improved their comfort enormously.

As a valued existing client who had bought a new sofa, we are only too pleased to help and rectify our customers cushions. The comfort level of the cushions was not good. Also, over hung by 3 inches at the front. In the first instance I advised them to take up their complaint with the furniture shop that they had purchased it from. They supplied replacement seat cushion interiors which did not solve the issue. The cushions were brought to us and we duly replaced the foam interiors with a "sandwich" foam and trimmed 3" off the back of the cushion. This course of action proved successful.

I recently left a review for work carried out by Derek and his team to re-upholster our office chair and our 3 piece sweet cushions and supply a new mattress for the sofa bed. So outstanding was the work that we decided to get our oak dining room chairs re-upholstered too. We picked them up today. First class work again and carried out very quickly. Even though the pattern of the hard-wearing covers was not critical for placement matching on each chair, Derek matched placement for all of the cushions for our chairs and they look stunning in our dining room … Derek also treated the cloth with a product to protect against soiling … an extra bonus … thank you for restoring our furniture … if it’s real craftwork you need and at a reasonable price, look no further … brilliant!

We had a sofa bed and two armchairs that needed new seating cushions plus a new mattress for the sofa bed. Also an office swivel chair that needed reupholstering. All the pieces were of good frame quality. Derek was very knowledgeable and clearly took great pride in his work having received numerous awards. Nevertheless Derek was approachable and gave us reasonable quotes. We also visited his shop in Southampton to chose the material for the work. The work was carried out in a reasonable period of time and was delivered to us today. Amazing! The old office swivel chair is now as new having been re-padded and covered to a very high quality. The mattress fits perfectly and is very supportive and comfortable with a zip fasening to enable removal of the cover for laundering … great thinking. All of the seating cushions have been meticulously re-padded and covered so that the lines on the tartan cloth we chose are coordinated and match perfectly at the edges etc. … superb craftmanship. We would thoroughly recommend Dee Cee Upholstery for providing a very high standard of care and attention and at a reasonable price … it is very hard to find, these days, small business tradesmen who take great pride in applying their expertese and skill in restoring furniture to its former glory but Derek is one of them. Thank you.

This review was one of the most comprehensive received so far , and really shows what can be achieved using all our skills as master upholsterers. When we covered the high quality mattress interior we decided to fit a long zip so that it could be removed easily by our customer for cleaning as and when required . We thank you for your kind comments in this excellent testimonial . Derek and Karen and the team at Dee Cee Upholstery
