What to know locally in East London
Fabric and foam shops in the city sell upholstery fabric off the roll and cut seat foam to size; ask for quick-dry foam for stoep and boat cushions.

Upholstery cleaners deal with mould and odour after wet spells, and hire shops rent extraction machines for a weekend; check the cleaning code before you wet a fabric.
East London: the homes, the climate and the workshops
A river port with a car plant beside it, East London mixes motor trimming with plenty of household work. Trimmers near the West Bank and Wilsonia recover car and bakkie seats, fit roof linings and supply leather conversions, while furniture upholsterers recover lounge suites and dining chairs in Vincent, Berea, Nahoon and Beacon Bay. Mdantsane, one of the largest townships in the country, has many home workshops recovering couches and making headboards. Government offices in Bhisho and Qonce send office chairs and boardroom seating. Holiday homes in Gonubie and along the coast need outdoor cushions and mould-resistant fabric, since the humid sea air rusts springs and leaves foam damp.
Typical cushion covers requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: zipped covers for kombi bench cushions and camper van bed cushions
- Offices and businesses: durable covers for reception couch cushions and breakaway room seating
- Churches, schools and halls: hard-wearing covers for church pew cushions and school library seating
