Covers

The Room Picks the Cover

What gets wiped down between patients needs a sealed surface. Where no clinical cleaning is done, you can have a warmer cover. Material matching keeps a new cover in line with the rest of the room.

Questions

Medical furniture reupholstery NYC questions

What does medical furniture reupholstery NYC cost?

Medical furniture reupholstery NYC work is quoted per piece after we see it, in person or from photos. It depends on the piece, the cover and whether the foam is replaced. We do not quote off a list. Start with a free estimate.

Do we have to close a room?

Usually not. Most pads come off and go back on in the room, during off-hours service. Pieces that need the shop go by pickup and delivery.

Repair or reupholster?

Repair when the damage is small — one tear, one scuff. Reupholster when the cover is cracking across the seat or fluid has reached the foam. See healthcare furniture repair.

Which cover do you use?

The one that stands up to what you clean with. Tell us your disinfectant and we will fit a cover rated for it. See medical-grade upholstery and the CDC disinfection guidance.

Can we change the color?

Yes. You can keep the current color or pick a new one for the whole practice. Keeping it is done with color matching.

Do you carry insurance for facility work?

Yes. We send a certificate of insurance naming your building or facility before the visit.
