Supplies & care in Ladysmith: local notes
Upholstery fabric and foam are limited in town, so many people order through an upholsterer who brings them from Durban or Pietermaritzburg; ask what is in stock before you choose. For cold winters, a warm velour or chenille suits lounge suites, while outdoor fabric suits stoep cushions. Upholstery cleaners from larger towns visit on set days, and machine hire is a practical choice for cleaning a lounge suite yourself.
Ladysmith: the homes, the climate and the workshops
Sitting where the N11 meets the road to the Drakensberg, Ladysmith gets upholstery work from both directions. Truckers and transport firms on the N3 near Van Reenen need cab seats rebuilt, while lodges, resorts and guesthouses in the foothills send lounge chairs, headboards and patio cushions. Old battlefield guesthouses and Victorian buildings in town hold antique chairs and settees that need careful restoration. In Ezakheni and Steadville, families recover lounge suites and headboards, and Ezakheni's industrial area holds factories with office and canteen chairs. Upholsterers are few, so many work from home and travel. Hot thunderstorm summers and frosty winters mean leather dries and cracks, and foam ages faster than you expect.
The requests we see from Ladysmith usually come from:
- Homeowners and tenants: new scatter cushion covers and couch seat covers to refresh a lounge without recovering
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: zipped covers for kombi bench cushions and camper van bed cushions
- Upholsterers, makers, designers and DIYers: interior designers and decorators ordering batches of covers in their chosen fabric
