Pullman's dinette upholstery

[RichM]

I have a Pullman's dinette and in the next year or so the upholstery will need replacing. What's the best way to go about this and how much can I expect to pay? 

Cheers

We had our seats (base and backs) on the dinette recovered by Wilsons as we wanted to match the fabric on the chairs we purchased from them. As the foam had gone soft in the bases they were replaced at the same time. This cost around £400.

I had mine done by Whalin's. Cost depends on the fabrics chosen, oooooooge range to choose from.

Thanks guys. I'm probably going to go for faux leather as it's easier to clean, less absorbent and harder wearing etc etc. Did you simply send off the measurements? 

[Rob-M]

We took the current cushions to Wilsons as that was easiest for us otherwise they would have come out to the boat and measured up. I'm not sure I would have wanted to provide the measurements myself especially as our cushions aren't simple rectangles.

That makes sense, thanks Rob.

I visited them and took my measurements to them, taking the opportunity to see and feel all their fabric samples and feel their foam types. I wanted simple shapes so it was easy. What I need now is some simple cheap cushion covers to protect them when I am doing dusty diy in their vicinity. The sales campaign on her indoors has already begun... (to make them)

Not sure where your based but we recently had a full set done for our Pullman by Amtrim in lancashire. Cost is driven by the price of the foam and of course the fabric along with number of cushions required. More cushions more labour more cost.

Find a local upholsterer or a coach trimmer and get them to quote for the job. 

It doesn't have to boat specific.

Just had a quote for our dinette . Im supplying the fabric . Using the original foam ( its thicker than average) but adding softer fireproof webbing.  £480 .in Nantwich  but Maria will collect and return and we will be on the K and A . Bunny.
