Built for quality or built for price?
Upholstery is often a neglected part of furniture. People assume that it adds only an aesthetic value to furniture, but with the right materials and build, good upholstery can add many years to your pews or chairs.
Unfortunately, in a lot of churches around the country, pew upholstery starts to deteriorate early. This is because a lot of church furniture just isn’t built to last. And we totally understand that replacing furniture can often be a daunting expense.
So, let’s break down the causes of damaged upholstery and see how Kivett’s can help you avoid having to replace your pews entirely.

Why are there cuts and tears in my upholstery?
When furniture isn’t upholstered with the right fabric, it’s more prone to tears when exposed to sharp objects like pens, pencils or even shoe heels and jewelry. Once some of the threads start to unravel, it’s only a matter of time before a larger tear in the fabric is exposed. And if the rest of the fabric is under pressure, the tear is likely to expand quickly.
Is damaged upholstery really a problem?
That honestly depends on the extent of the damage. A minor tear may go unnoticed or uneven compressions in the foam might not be a huge deal, but these problems tend to worsen over time. For example, uneven compression in foam will get amplified with use, since weight is no longer being distributed evenly across the surface.
Similarly, a tear in the fabric exposes the padding and the foam, which is more likely to trap dirt, and deteriorate faster.
