Foam replacement and cut to size
New high density reflex foam for sofas, caravans, boats and bespoke seating. The foam can be cut to your specific dimensions and is available in multiple grades.
Advice first
We tell you what is worth doing before you spend on fabric or repair work.
Quoted clearly
Photos, sizes and fabric choices become a written price, not a vague estimate.
Built properly
Frames, foam, stitching and finish are checked so the work lasts in daily use.
In scope
What we cover.
- High-resilience, reflex, dryfast (marine) and combustion-modified foams
- Densities from soft seat pad to firm contract grade
- Cut to size in inches or centimetres, almost any depth
- Hollow-fibre and feather refills for sofa cushions
- Mattress toppers, headboards and bench seating made to measure
The foam in most sofas is the first thing to go — the cover survives long after the seat has lost its bounce. Replacing the foam, leaving the cover alone, often costs a fraction of a full recover and gets another five to ten years out of the piece.
We stock high-density, reflex, dryfast (for marine and outdoor use), and combustion-modified foams in every density you would ever need. We get it cut on a band saw to within 2mm of your dimensions, in inches or centimetres — whichever you measured in.
Drop in with an old cushion to copy, message us a photo with measurements, or send us templated paper for an irregular shape. Most domestic orders are ready in a week.

What customers say
From customers who have used this service.
“Had new foam in our caravan seats — they did such a good job we decided to have new foam in our leather settee and arm chair. What a transformation. It will give us another 10 years. Brilliant. I would recommend Valley for any upholstery work.”
Frequently asked
Common questions about this service.
- How long does reupholstery take?
- Most domestic projects take two to four weeks from collection to delivery. Caravans usually run two to three weeks. Single dining chairs are often back within a week. We agree the timeline up front and stick to it.
- Can I choose any fabric or leather?
- You can choose from hundreds of fabrics and leathers in our Stalybridge showroom — Cristina Marrone, Rosemount Fabrics, Ross Fabrics, Sunbury Designs, Warwick, Wemyss, Agua, Futura Leathers, Crest Leather, Nene Valley Leathers and more — priced from about £15 per metre to around £120 per metre.
- Can I supply my own fabric?
- Yes. We're happy to use customer-supplied fabric. We'll calculate the exact metreage you need before you order — including pattern repeats — so you don't end up short. Note: we can't warrant fabric durability on covers we haven't supplied.
