Custom Bed Upholstery

 

When we think of upholstery we tend to think of chairs, sofas, ottomans and the like. And that is only natural. Bed upholstery, on the other hand, does not receive the kind of attention chair upholstery does but upholstered beds are very popular, and for good reason. Upholstered beds are cosy and stylish and can transform an ordinary bedroom into something truly special. At Jerome Shorter, we provide expert bed upholstery for discerning clients who want their boudoir to exude an aristocratic air.

About Bed Upholstery

 

 

Upholstery for beds is a somewhat different animal than chair or sofa upholstery, (there is, for example, no sofa equivalent to the upholstered headboard). Finding a balance between the practical and purely aesthetic can be a considerable challenge, which is why whether you are looking for upholstery for king-size beds, upholstery for platform beds or any other type of bed upholstery the right thing to do is contact the artisans at Jerome Shorter.

 

Upholstered Bed Style Considerations

 

As we mentioned, if you are remodelling the entire bedroom the upholstered bed will play a huge role in anchoring the new style. If you are aspiring to a more contemporary look you might want to consider an upholstered headboard with a plain, unbroken surface. The plain upholstered headboard has the added benefit of being low maintenance.

 

However, if you want to achieve a more classic look in your bedroom we can create a traditional, tufted and buttoned headboard that will add a timeless quality to the whole room. If you really want to push the comfort and opulence to new levels consider an upholstered sleigh bed. Or, if you already have one that is not doing it for you, let the artisans at Jerome Shorter transform it into something that will enrich body and spirit for years to come.


The Benefits of the Upholstered Bed

The quiet popularity of upholstered beds is due to a number of factors unique to this type of furniture. 

 

For starters, an upholstered bed just looks incredibly comfortable and luxurious, even if the reality is that it feels much the same as any other bed when you lay on it. So visual perceptions play a huge role in determining how someone reacts to an upholstered bed. 

 

In addition, bed upholstery, like any other type of upholstery, has the ability to retain heat, which is important at a time of sky-high heating prices and widespread concern over fossil fuel consumption. That richly-upholstered headboard will also help keep drafts off of you while you sleep.

 

Reupholstering your bed is also a great (and cost-effective) way to add a modern or traditional twist to the decor in your bedroom. Or, if you are redoing the entire room, the reupholstered bed will serve as the anchor that holds the remodel together.

For the Sake of Your Bed Resist the DIY Urge

 

During lockdowns, there was a surge in interest regarding upholstered beds with much of the interest coming from people who already owned one and wanted to try a different aesthetic approach. Internet forums were crowded with self-proclaimed experts advising people on how easy and cheap it was to reupholster their own bed. We know, because many of these people came to us to fix the mistakes they’d made while trying to follow DIY upholstery videos.

We are all for people taking charge and getting busy with their hands. But some things are best left to the professionals, including bed upholstery. There is, quite frankly, much more to the process of creating beautiful, practical and durable bed upholstery than could ever be explained or taught in a YouTube video.

Jerome’s team took on a very challenging task of reupholstering an Ottoman for me with my own fabric. They took so much care, and there was such great attention to detail. I am so pleased with the end result, it is beyond my wildest expectation. I’m really grateful to him and his team for the love and time put into it and for their ongoing communication wrt the process. Would 100% use them again and recommend to anyone looking for a job well done. Thank you so much. This piece will be held onto forever.

Jerome and his team has just completed the recovering of eight large leather dining chairs and a full set of fabric outdoor furniture (chaise, sofas and 10 dining chairs). These had all been owned and used for many years and we had feared they would require replacing. Not so! Jerome collected sad looking furniture and delivered back what looks like brand new replacements. Our furniture has been given a new lease of life and we couldn’t recommend Jerome Shorter Furniture enough. Not only is the work first class but the service and communication was exceptional. Thank you Jerome.

I can only describe the reupholster job of my large 3 seater and two chaise lounges handled by Jerome and his team as top class! It was an excellent re-enacting of my original luxury furniture, looked exactly the same! Their care and precision is commendable...I highly recommend them.

We wanted to recycle some modern leather dining chairs rather than replace them but we couldn't find the right contact who we trusted to do what we needed - we found Jerome and he immediately understood what we wanted and gave us some great advice and ideas. We are now extremely pleased to have 8 re-covered chairs which look amazing and so much better quality and value than buying new! The quality of the work is superb and we can't recommend Jerome and his team highly enough. We will be using them time and again to recycle/refresh other items which we already love (sofas, chaise longue, etc).

I had three pieces(a sofa and two wing chairs) to re-upholster which had never been in the same room together before. Mr. Shorter took pictures of the pieces and the carpet they had to coordinate with and gave me some design ideas. This did not work. He recommended stores where I could obtain swatches of fabric. After numerous attempts on my own Mr Shorter came again to my apartment and selected fabrics I had not thought to combine. A perfect choice and I could not be happier with the result-a fresh, colourful, contemporary design for the entire room. Excellent reupholstering for old furniture. I highly recommend Mr. Shorter to anyone who wishes to add new life to one or more pieces.

Jerome’s service is excellent. My company needed 3 items reupholstered and Jerome provided a quote with plenty of relevant fabric choices.
He collected each item individually and quickly returned each, keeping us up to date on the process.
Jerome’s customer service and punctual turn around of the items was great.
Well recommended.

John, Tunbridge Wells

We had four porter-style antique armchairs, a sofa and a chaise-longue extensively repaired and re-upholstered by Jerome. His work was meticulously professional, completed to a very high standard and delivered on time and to budget. His artistic judgement is thoughtful, helpful but never intrusive. This was a complicated and expensive job which he excelled in. We are already repeat customers.

Mr Paine, Horsmonden

Jerome’s work is amazing and he is a pleasure to do business with. I and my chair thank him!

“Thank you so much for the fantastic work and all the guidance you gave us along the way. We would recommend Jerome again and again.”
