Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Stevan Plavsa via CnC-List]

The cushions on Suhana are all in good shape, but they're the old C
beige/brown stripes.

(not
my image)

Those cushions are really well made and mine are in great shape. However,
there was definitely boat funk stunk right into them. We removed all the
covers and washed in the laundry with a bit of bleach then air dried. I
also took the foam home a few at a time and soaked them in a bleach
solution (a few percent, not too strong) in a kids wading pool out in the
driveway. Those foam cushions sure hold a lot of water!They took days or
even weeks to dry but the stink is gone. I like to think that the cushions
are now "reconditioned". Just washing the covers made a big difference.

Getting the buttons back in through the cushions is another project for
another time :)

or you could "inherit" cushions more suitable for a livingroom than the boat.  
They are off-white.  It is an attractive, good quality material; living under 
towels to protect them

 Sunbrella
 is pretty pricey.  Look at fabrics for patio furniture. 
 Most are a fraction of the cost of Sunbrella.  Heck, even
 Home Depot sells outdoor fabrics.
 
 Guess I'm lucky, Touche's cushions are in
 decent shape.  However the pattern is definitely 70's

I had the cushions in my previous boat (35 Mk II) done in UltraLeather.
It's a little pricey but incredibly durable, comfortable and attractive.  I
have it on my new boat.  Its 14 years old and look brand new.

We are having the cushions redone on Corsair by the yard that we do our winter 
storage.  They have already done cockpit cushions, Bimini and dodger for us.  
Didn't even ask a price.  We really need new cushions.  The old ones are 
disintegrating.  They will do the backs on the boat as Dennis said.  We will 
need the new cushions next year when the boat is in White Lake and we are 
weekending instead of days ailing.

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

My settee alone is 8 cushions - 3 bottom, 3 back and 2 ends.  The dinette
is probably 10 with the table top cushions.  I don't have the patience to
do 18 cushions, and the Admiral isn't interested.
Looks like I need to shop around.  I have some friends in the car
business.  I can see if they have people who do their work.

Part of me says get it done over the winter, part of me says wait until
after the Bermuda race.

Thanks for all the help!

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

Hi Joel,

I'm curious as to why you spec'd Sunbrella? It's 
forte is colour-fast after years of sun exposure 
and it's not the most comfortable fabric to sit on.


I suggest talking about proper upholstery fabric 
when dealing with your supplier.


My saloon is done in leather but that might not be the best for your style.

Russ,

It's what they offered as their standard, and I thought it would be easy to
compare prices from different places that way. I'd love leather, but not

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Joel Aronson via CnC-List]

Dennis,
My cushions came off of Howard's boat when he replaced all of his!

My boat pillows are from Home Depot. Didn't know they sold fabric.  Heck,
probably cheaper to buy patio cushions just for the fabric than buying
Sunbrella from a marine outlet!

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Many of you are fortunate to have all separate removable cushions, bottoms
and backs.  Touche's dinette and settee backs are single rolled and pleated
wraparound units stapled to the cabinetry.  I like the look.  It would be
very pricey to replace because the workman would almost certainly have to
come to the boat.

Many owners have removed this look and gone with separate cushion backs.

Sunbrella is pretty pricey.  Look at fabrics for patio furniture.  Most are
a fraction of the cost of Sunbrella.  Heck, even Home Depot sells outdoor
fabrics.

Guess I'm lucky, Touche's cushions are in decent shape.  However the
pattern is definitely 70's retro.  Who knows, in another 40 years it might
be back in style.

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - now if cushions could talk

[Dennis C. via CnC-List]

Funny you should say that.  One of the "joys" of owning a "storied" boat
is, of course, the stories.

The Admiral was at a fundraiser a few years back when the conversation
steered around to interests and then sailing.  An older couple asked the
Admiral what boat she sailed on.  When she replied Touche', they rolled
their eyes and said they used to cruise to Pensacola on Touche' with the
previous owners.  They alluded to a few interesting times "in the old days"
but wouldn't elaborate.  Maybe I'll ask the cushions the next time I'm on
the boat.  :)

My settee alone is 8 cushions - 3 bottom, 3 back and 2 ends.  The dinette is 
probably 10 with the table top cushions.  I don't have the patience to do 18 
cushions, and the Admiral isn't interested.
Looks like I need to shop around.  I have some friends in the car business.  I 
can see if they have people who do their work.

Part of me says get it done over the winter, part of me says wait until after

Many of you are fortunate to have all separate removable cushions, bottoms and 
backs.  Touche's dinette and settee backs are single rolled and pleated 
wraparound units stapled to the cabinetry.  I like the look.  It would be very 
pricey to replace because the workman would almost certainly have to come to 
the boat.
Many owners have removed this look and gone with separate cushion backs.

Yup, the red, white and blue plaid is what Touche' has.  I found some extra
on the boat and saved it.  Came in handy a couple years ago when I had an
upholsterer patch some in on the quarterberth cushion.

Fabric isn't bad but the stitching gives out.  Have gotten a couple
cushions re-stitched.  Cash speaks loud to small upholstery shops for the
occasional small job.  :)

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Jim Watts via CnC-List]

Our V berth cushions were upside down in the broker's advertising and in
real life, which is weird when you finally notice the taper is going the
wrong way. The tops of the cushions were literally a bunch of longitudinal
strings joined by occasional pieces of the (is it the weft or the woof, I
can never remember) crossways. I could only imagine what hard use those
cushions got when the boat was in charter.

[Al Serrato via CnC-List]

I'm in the San Francisco Bay area and I'm having all the cushions re-covered in 
Sunbrella material at a local shop for $2,600. I got a list of upholsterers 
from a shop that sells foam and after calling around found a place that was 
about $2000 less than all the other estimates. The only drawback is I'm waiting 
about three months for the fist half of the cushions to be done.

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Josh Muckley via CnC-List]

Sailrite is pretty good at providing detailed instructions and $2200 will
provide quite a bit of materials and tools for you to learn with.  Once
it's done you will have the knowledge and tools to make any number of other
canvas projects.   Imagine the life time of savings.  If foreign
destinations are in your future imagine the value of not having to find a
canvas (or even sail)  maker.  Sunbrella is not difficult to work with.
It's not hard to find and its not terribly expensive.  If you were talking
about a priceless museum piece or using Italian leather it would be a
different story.

 Just my 2 cents,

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Rick Brass via CnC-List]

I don’t know about the Annapolis area, but here in Eastern North Carolina that 
price would be obscene.

 

I’ve completely redone the upholstery in my 38 in the past year. Total cost 
about $1600 for the following:

 

2 v berth cushions – new 6” foam and medium brown Ultrasuede, Pfeifertex mesh 
on back

Quarter berth cushion – ditto

2  6 ft settee cushions – new 4” foam and medium brown Ultrasuede, both sides 
so they are reversible

8 box cushions for settee backs and arms – new 3” foam and nautical pattern 
upholstery material and Pfeifertex on the backs

Used some of the leftover 6” foam to make 2 bolsters to lean against when 
reading in the v berth – used leftover Ultrasuede

6 throw cushion covers made of fawn colored Ultrasuede – think of a #10 
envelope big enough to hold a pillow and with a button to hold the flap closed. 
Picked the idea up from a cruiser and use the pillows to store bed linen when 
not on the various berths.

A comforter and 2 pillow shams for the v berth in a nautical upholstery cloth 
that was originally intended for the seat backs. (I didn’t ask before buying 
what I thought was enough material to do the 8 cushions. How was I supposed to 
know to allow extra for the pattern match? Sailrite probably has a video on how 
to do it correctly. So the upholstery shop suggested making a pie shaped v 
berth throw/comforter and not letting the material go to waste.)

 

As you can tell, the sewing was done by a local shop that does upholstery and 
interior decorating. The labor was probably well under half what a boat canvas 
shop would charge. Furniture upholsterers don’t seem to care if you supply your 
own materials.

 

Bought the foam, fabric, Pfeifertex mesh, batting, and piping for the edges 
from a fabric discount store in New Bern. The stuff was also available on line 
from the same company. 

 

Another avenue you might try is to ask around among friends who are liveaboard 
cruisers. I have found that a surprising number of them have Sailrite sewing 
machines and regularly do upholstery and canvas work to feed the cruising kitty.

Sounds expensive, we were just over $3K 10 years ago, but we replaced
everything. New 4" foam everywhere with and additional 2" of memory foam in
the V-berth, top end furniture grade Ultrasuede covers. I think you could
do better, but that's just my Scrooge coming out.

Stus-List Cost to recover cushions

[robert via CnC-List]

Joel:

I had all the upholstery replaced on my C 32 with a Sunbrella fabric  
(V-berth, main salon, quarter berth, seats and backs) for all in taxes, 
$1,600.  No new foam...not needed.


A company that normally does canvass awnings for businesses did it. Was 
the job perfect, no not perfect, but not many people would tell the 
difference.  Meaning, a few corners on the cushions were not 
perfect.meaning not every corner was the same, but every corner was 
sewn secure.  And the Sunbrella fabric is as good as it gets.with 
mine, you can spill a rum and coke or a glass of red wine and take the 
cushion and pour the drink back into the glassthe cushion is not 
stainedam I sure this is true...been there, done that!


I think there are places where you might get a better price.

stainedam I sure this is true...been there, done that!

I think there are places where you might get a better price.

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[bobmor99 . via CnC-List]

Concur with Jim Watt's experience of 10 year's ago. 13 pieces, all new foam
including additional memory foam in V and quarter berth.   Sunbrella with
stripes (a little harder to work with). Lots of zippers and underside mesh.
This was 8-9 years ago. Foam was a big cost. All totalled, ~3K USD. Made
very locally.
As for DIY, life's too short to get good at this.

Re: Stus-List Cost to recover cushions - ouch

[Joe Della Barba via CnC-List]

There is an upholstery shop in West Annapolis we are going to try. I got a 
quote of something like $200 per cushion.

I don’t know about the Annapolis area, but here in Eastern North Carolina that 
price would be obscene.

 

I’ve completely redone the upholstery in my 38 in the past year. Total cost 
about $1600 for the following:

 

2 v berth cushions – new 6” foam and medium brown Ultrasuede, Pfeifertex mesh 
on back

Quarter berth cushion – ditto

2  6 ft settee cushions – new 4” foam and medium brown Ultrasuede, both sides 
so they are reversible

8 box cushions for settee backs and arms – new 3” foam and nautical pattern 
upholstery material and Pfeifertex on the backs

Used some of the leftover 6” foam to make 2 bolsters to lean against when 
reading in the v berth – used leftover Ultrasuede

6 throw cushion covers made of fawn colored Ultrasuede – think of a #10 
envelope big enough to hold a pillow and with a button to hold the flap closed. 
Picked the idea up from a cruiser and use the pillows to store bed linen when 
not on the various berths.

A comforter and 2 pillow shams for the v berth in a nautical upholstery cloth 
that was originally intended for the seat backs. (I didn’t ask before buying 
what I thought was enough material to do the 8 cushions. How was I supposed to 
know to allow extra for the pattern match? Sailrite probably has a video on how 
to do it correctly. So the upholstery shop suggested making a pie shaped v 
berth throw/comforter and not letting the material go to waste.)

 

As you can tell, the sewing was done by a local shop that does upholstery and 
interior decorating. The labor was probably well under half what a boat canvas 
shop would charge. Furniture upholsterers don’t seem to care if you supply your 
own materials.

 

Bought the foam, fabric, Pfeifertex mesh, batting, and piping for the edges 
from a fabric discount store in New Bern. The stuff was also available on line 
from the same company. 

 

Another avenue you might try is to ask around among friends who are liveaboard 
cruisers. I have found that a surprising number of them have Sailrite sewing 
machines and regularly do upholstery and canvas work to feed the cruising kitty.

All,

 

Just got a quote to have the cushions in the main salon - U shaped dinette and 
straight berth with back cushions- recovered in Sunbrella.​  Estimate was at 
least $2200 depending on fabric/extras.  Is that a reasonable price?  Is there 
any good way to DIY if you don't sew?
