We have a couple of Multiyork Natalie sofas that are 20+ years old and showing their age a bit. The cushions, frame etc are still rock solid it's just the covers that are a bit threadbare. As we find them very comfortable we're considering just having new covers made rather than a total replacement. Looking online there's plenty of companys that appear to already have the patterns and will make new ones but just throwing it out there for any recommendation from anybody who might have done similar?

Considered it last year but was not economically viable for us. YMMV.

We had two Multiyork sofas, two armchairs and a foot stool, plus associated cushions recovered the Christmas before last.

It cost £4800.

We were very pleased with the outcome.

The firm is near Nottingham; PM me if their name is of use.

This is why you can buy large throws.

Covers will look st. But getting sofas reupholstered can be just as expensive as buying new.

When I was faced with this dilemma 10 years ago I bought new, and wished I hadn't - the new ones may have looked fantastic but they quickly subsided and were made of hardboard and rubber bands (Natuzzi Editions).
