Though the cost to reupholster a couch varies, quality sofa upholstery could cost 50-60% less than replacement when all things are considered. Before calling upholsterers for quotes, measure your sofa and research fabrics.

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!

Performance fabrics, like Sunbrella, are the most durable fabrics of any sofa. Performance fabrics are tested to withstand at least 40,000 rubs, meaning this sofa will be in your life for a long time. Performance fabrics are also resistant to stains, abrasions, and fading.
