The cover is fine. The seat is not.

Foam wears out long before good upholstery does. These are the signs we see in booths and banquettes, commercial chairs and theater seating.

  • Old restaurant seat foam crumbled and collapsed into layers

    It crumbles

    The foam has broken down into dust and flakes.

  • Leather seat cushion flattened where the foam has collapsed

    It stays flat

    The seat never springs back after someone stands.

  • Leather cushion opened to show crumbled yellowed foam inside

    It turns yellow

    Old foam goes brittle and discolored inside the cover.

  • Flattened theater seat foam under a worn fabric cover

    It bottoms out

    Guests feel the seat pan through the cushion.

  • Split seam on a black leather booth with foam showing through

    It splits the cover

    Loose foam lets the cover move and tear at the seams.

What we keep. What we replace.

Commercial foam replacement NYC works one layer at a time. Most of the time only the middle of the seat has failed.

How the seat is rebuilt.

In our workshop, or on site when the seating is fixed in place.

  1. Stack of foam blanks cut to size with a long blade

    Each seat is measured and new foam cut to its shape.

  2. Rebuilt restaurant seat foam with a rounded front profile

    02

    Shape the edge

    Front edges are shaped so the seat sits as it did new.

  3. New foam fitted onto a dining chair seat board

    03

    Fit & wrap

    Foam goes onto the seat board and is wrapped in batting.

  4. Banquette frame strung with new elastic webbing in the workshop

    04

    Fix the deck

    Tired webbing is restrung before the foam goes back.

Foam only, or a new cover too?

Foam only

The cover is sound

The upholstery comes off, new foam goes in, the same cover goes back on. The seat looks the same and sits like new.

Minor cover damage? Commercial repair

Foam + new cover

The cover is worn out too

Do both at once, so the seat is only opened once. Choose leather, vinyl or fabric, or replace the seating.

Every seat in the room, in one job.

One seat rebuilt beside tired ones feels wrong. We schedule the whole room so every seat matches, often overnight.

Commercial foam replacement NYC: questions.

Can you replace the foam without new upholstery?

Yes, when the cover is still sound. Commercial foam replacement NYC work usually keeps the leather, vinyl or fabric and only renews what is underneath.

Can foam be replaced on site?

Loose cushions and many booth seats can be swapped on site, often after hours. Fixed seating that needs the cover removed may go to our workshop.

How do you choose the foam?

By how the seat is used: firm high-density foam for booths, resilient foam for chairs, quick-dry foam outdoors. Samples are available before we order.

Do you do whole rooms at once?

Yes. Every booth or chair in a room can be done in one scheduled job, so the seating stays consistent.

Is new foam fire-rated?

We specify the foam to the requirements your building or venue gives us. Tell us the standard and we match it.

How do I get a price?

Send a photo of each seat type and the count. Every job is measured and priced individually, in writing.
