Customers often ask us how much fabric they need for their upholstery projects. We always recommend that you discuss specifics with a professional before placing your order. For a ballpark estimate, consult the chart below:
ON LOUNGE CHAIRS:
6–9 yards (Varies by chair size, cushions, skirts, and arms)
ON 72" SOFAS:
12–15 yards (Standard sofa with loose cushions)
ON 84" SOFAS:
14–18 yards (Larger frames, deeper seats, or extra cushions increase yardage)
ON SIDE CHAIRS:
4–6 yards (Armless vs. armed chairs can differ significantly)
Please note:
- Large pattern repeats, stripes, plaids, or directional fabrics may require 10–20% additional yardage
- Details such as skirts, tufting, channeling, or contrast welting will also increase fabric needs
- Always confirm final yardage with your upholsterer before ordering
