Supplies & care in East London: local notes
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. Automotive cloth and vinyl are easier to find here because of the motor trade. 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.
Upholstery work in East London
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 upholstery foam requests in the area come from:
- Car, bakkie and taxi owners: seat foam rebuilds for bakkie, kombi and taxi seats, cut and shaped for the trimmer
- Offices and businesses: replacement foam for reception couches, boardroom chair seats and waiting room benches
- Churches, schools and halls: pew cushion foam by the metre for churches, school halls and auditorium seats

Asked for most in East London: car seats and roof linings, lounge suites, office chairs, outdoor cushions. Where the workshops are: west Bank, Wilsonia and Arcadia, plus home workshops in Mdantsane. A useful tip: ask whether the springs and frame are checked for rust when the couch is stripped.
Upholstery Foam usually suits seats, backs, cushions, boats and patios. The job: cut to size and wrapped in fibre wrap. For car, bakkie and taxi owners, the biggest group here, that usually means seat foam rebuilds for bakkie, kombi and taxi seats, cut and shaped for the trimmer. On the climate side: humid sea air with salt; damp foam, mould and rusted springs near the coast.
