Eco-Friendly

Papendieck's Upholstery has gone "green". We Now offer recycled & 100% natural products to fully reupholster any piece of furniture.

Not only is reupholstery a great way to leave a smaller footprint on our planet, it is also a great Value. A good quality wingback chair reupholstered with a high wear fabric will last 20 years. During the same 20 years,three poorer quality chairs would have worn out and ended up in the landfill. There is no need to litter the landfill with shabby furniture when a good reupholstery job could give your furniture life for years.

Latex Pincore

Naturally supportive, latex adjusts to you. Latex give you that unmistakable comfort, contouring gently to your body while giving outstanding support. Derived from the hevea brasiliensis, or the rubber tree, latex is the most naturally durable cushioning material available. How is latex different from memory foam? Latex is made from a rubber-based product versus memory or visco elastic foam which is derived from plastics. Latex provides "instantaneous recovery" as it contours and supports any body movement, while memory foam provides "slow recovery".
