RC2018 Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 My rig has a 74" wide Sofa/Air Bed. The vinyl outer layer is delaminating from the base fabric. Has anybody had the sofa air bed re-upholstered? Did you have any issues? General cost? Any input would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klcdenver Posted December 29, 2023 Share Posted December 29, 2023 I had mine done at a local upholstery shop. I took the components off my self and carried them into shop. Just unbolt from floor and pull it out. It comes apart pretty easy. I had good leather material and about 800 in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC2018 Posted December 31, 2023 Author Share Posted December 31, 2023 Thanks for your input Ken. I received 2 bids for the project from local shops and they both were approx. $1200 with me removing the sofa and taking the pcs to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dads Dog House Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 I also unbolted my Sleep Comfort airbed from the floor and dis-assembled it in place in the coach. When I took the upholstered panels into several local upholstery shops I was quoted $1000 to $1200 for labor, I had to provide my own fabric, those shops fabric prices were $60 to $100 per yard! I found some quality upholstery fabric online for $49.00 yard with a very regal pattern in a Burgundy/gold colors. Shop had fast turn around of only 5 days, good fit and trimmed out superbly.

Russell Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 I want to follow this particular string, so I thought making a comment might make that happen. It seems that these sofas can cost $3K and upward of $4K so redoing the surface seems to be about 1/3 or less the cost of a new one??? We also have a 2003 motorhome. Our J-lounge couch has seen better days. I'm going to get new cushion foam because they are crushed and no longer firm, but this couch in ours, is either genuine leather or some very high quality facsimile. I've researched having it restored and dyed but the labor involved seems to be nearly as much as just replacing the entire unit. d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC2018 Posted January 9 Author Share Posted January 9 Bump for this topic. I was hoping for more comments. Maybe I should shop for a new sofa bed? Any suggestions to best value suppliers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobkat11208 Posted January 10 Share Posted January 10 When we bought our coach, it came with 2 still in the box new Rec-Pro cushions. The prior owner replaced the air bed with an actual mattress as well as the cushions. They set him 4 vice 2. I know they are brown-ish (?). If you think these might work I can take some pictures.

diplomat don Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 I replaced the jackknife sofa in our old coach with a new airbed sofa from shop4seats.com in the L.A. area. They shipped to Washington. This was about ten years ago was around $1500 delivered. Came apart into 4 pieces to get thru the door. I was happy with it. Good luck, Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy, Just to clarify, the 2 extra seat cushions I have are for the hide-a-bed on the road side. The jackknife sofa on the camp side is more beige/white ish and has 3 cushions, if that helps.

Thanks for the offer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
