I'm Sarah, Founder of NEXLOFT Upholstery, established in 2017. We provide professional couch reupholstery in Cape Town and sofa reupholstery, including 2 seater sofas, 3 seater sofas and Chesterfield sofas that need frame repair and reupholstery. Our work covers banquette rest seating for Cape Town restaurants, restaurant chairs and seat cushions built for high traffic environments, requiring strong webbing and commercial grade foam. We re-web, respring and refoam with HD foam 33-35 for comfort and durability that lasts in busy hospitality settings.
We work across homes, restaurants, B&Bs, offices, hospitals and clinics throughout Cape Town. Whether you need furniture repairs including broken springs, collapsed seats, loose joints, or custom upholstery manufacture for new ottomans, headboards, wingbacks, chaises and storage ottomans, we collect across Cape Town - City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard, Southern Suburbs, Northern Suburbs, Constantia, Sea Point, Camps Bay and surrounding areas. Collection is free and not limited to one area, we collect from your home, restaurant or workplace and deliver back once complete. Our workshop is in Strandfontein, Cape Town, by appointment only, allowing us to focus on quality without retail overheads.
Many clients ask if reupholstery is cheaper than buying new furniture. In most cases where the frame is solid hardwood, reupholstery costs less and results in a better piece than mass produced replacements, especially for Chesterfield sofas, wingbacks and restaurant banquette seating. We help you choose the right fabric for your use - performance fabrics for homes with children and pets, velvet for boutique hotels, genuine leather from Woodheads Leather for executive offices and restaurants wanting durability, and Hertex Fabrics for on-trend linens, chenilles and outdoor fabrics for covered patios. Our foam and supplies are sourced from Bartlett & Dunster, ensuring consistent quality. If you have the time we can discuss the full service offering through the lines of communication: face to face discussions, telephonically, via social media, emails, online meeting platforms, Teams calls. This ensures you understand labour from R6,500 + fabric, additional options pricing, and timeline before we start.
How long does reupholstery take? Most couches take 7-12 working days, restaurant chairs and seat cushions 3-7 days, and full banquette rest seating for restaurants 5-10 days depending on length and condition. Do you collect and deliver furniture? Yes, we collect across Cape Town and deliver back once finished. How much does couch reupholstery cost in Cape Town?

We are always open to negotiating price especially if we receive ongoing work from you for multiple chairs, couches or seasonal restaurant refreshes.
