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.

Custom cut upholstery foam
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I required upholstery foam to make extra cushions for my dinning room chairs. Karen was very helpful and patient in enabling me to choose the depth of foam required and her colleague was meticulous in creating a template for the carvers, a particularly difficult task due to the placement of the arm supports. The finished articles were completed on the date specified and were well executed. The service was professional, yet friendly. I would clarify my comment on value to say that I did not seek alternative quotes but can confirm that I was happy with the cost.

Our customer had 6 x dining chair seats and 2x carver chair seats foam cut to shape and size . In our fully equipped workshop in Portswood Southampton , we use a special air compressed foam cutter which has 2 x reciprocating blades , as one blade goes down the other blade goes up. The cost of the Bosch foam cutter / knife costs in the region of £ 800.00 plus vat . The fire retardant foam that was supplied was a firm P 38 and once the templates were made we were able to cut the foams to the required size and shape . Another happy and satisfied customer.

I asked Dee Cee Upholstery to re-cover two sofas and replace the foam cushions. As always, the quality of the work was outstanding. I return to Dee Cee Upholstery time and again as I feel that I am guaranteed to get skilled craftsmanship and a beautifully finished result. The sofas were returned to me ahead of schedule and on budget and the service throughout was excellent and very helpful. I would really recommend Dee Cee Upholstery.

Dee Cee Upholstery have given good service to a range of projects over the years and returning to solve the problem of sagging seat cushions on a small sofa did not disappoint. A friendly attitude and helpful advice, followed by speedy and efficient workmanship has resulted in a smart and comfortable sofa one again. The free delivery of the finished cushions was an added bonus. Thank you all.

I was recommended to Dee Cee Upholstery when unable to find a suitable new replacement for existing furniture. At first I was a bit concerned, but now so pleased that I made the decision to use them, they were so helpful, they obtained my choice of fabric to match my furniture, kept to their promised timescale and returned the items in absolute new condition. The standard of their work is excellent and in fact have since given them additional work. I would always and have already recommended them to others.

I recently asked Dee Cee Upholstery to cut some new foam pads for my Ercol dining chairs. They were ready in double quick time and they even put them into the covers which would have been rather awkward for me to do. The chairs look like new now!
