So, which option is more affordable--sofa upholstery or buying a new one? Generally, reupholstering a sofa tends to be more cost-effective than purchasing a brand new piece of furniture. Sofa upholstery involves replacing the fabric, padding, and springs, while the frame and structure remain intact.

Olefin / Polyproylene: It's highly resistant to stains, mildew, abrasion, and sunlight, so it's great for both indoor and outdoor use! It's also made from an up-cycled material so it's a great choice for the eco-conscious buyer. Some polypropylene upholstery fabrics are even bleach cleanable!

To give a broad estimate, reupholstering a couch (fabric only) will take 15–24 hours of work. Repairing the frame and springs and replacing the stuffing will take extra time. If you employ a furniture repair specialist to do the job, expect your sofa to be with them for around two weeks.
