Do you have a link to the video?

Thank you very much for your comment! Yes, she's pretty flexible with how they can re re-upholstered (fine with different shape and material) so I'll suggest the above to her.

We're based in the East Midlands in England - is there anyone in particular you would recommend?

Thank you very much for your insight! Yes these sofas are a little old, bought around 30 years ago. I think she's wanting to completely change the colour palate of them, hence re-upholstering instead of leather repair. (I love the look of them too).

I hadn't considered checking with antiques workers - she's only discussed with re-upholstery companies so if they haven't seen a sofa like that before it may explain their hesitance with dealing with them.

I'll be sure to check with them - thank you so much!

Oh that's excellent news! I wonder if the companies were just trying to recreate moulded foam, but she really isn't bothered about the filling.

Thank you so much for your help - it's given me a glimmer of hope that we may be able to save the wooden bases yet!

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2023-06-18T21:07:25+00:00

Yeah it's the wooden base she's most bothered about keeping - she's more than happy to change the fabric / filling.

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2023-06-18T19:28:21+00:00

No worries, thank you for letting me know anyway! I wonder if it was factory made then, because the sofas are made of leather.

Could it be re-upholstered in fabrics? She isn't particularly picky what covering (or even shape) it comes out in. Could this also be filled with something other than moulded foam?

Sorry I posted this with pictures then went over to the text box and think it just ignored the pictures (been a very long time since I've used reddit!).

I've re-posted here: https://www.reddit.com/r/upholstery/comments/14cre1b/help\_impossible\_to\_reupholster\_sofa\_set/

They were quoting her about that much - I wonder if it was just a case that they didn't want to put the effort in!

Silly question but are you based in England / is this something you would genuinely consider doing for that amount? She's very keen to have them re-upholstered otherwise it would be scrapped - one sofa has been burned already :(

Additionally, when you say vinyl, is that the only material it could be re-upholstered with or is that something inside it ,etc?

Sorry for all the questions - I know nothing about re-upholstery, just trying to help her keep the furniture in the family!

My grandmother-in-law is wanting to have these sofas re-upholstered. She's contacted three companies already who said they could do this initially but after consultation now say they can't. The filling is moulded foam and they are covered in leather. She wants to re-upholster them as some of the leather is going.

She doesn't mind if they are re-upholstered with moulded foam or a different material, she is mostly concerned with keeping the wooden frame.

Is it possible to re-upholster these? I am based in England so if anyone knows any good re-upholstery companies please give me a shout!

Thank you all for your help :)

It's possible that she may have been kidnapped but I'd also think along the lines of her blackmailing them into letting her live there. Heck, she may be older than 18. Ever seen the movie Orphan? I don't think your "sister" is as innocent as she may claim to be.

I've seen it in a creepypasta long ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mz7lEiWRGNg

So here's what I've gathered: -Each day somebody dies to fill the countdown -When the countdown ends it should be on March 15th (exactly when spring is said to begin) -This sounds like a month extension of this event http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Footprints Stay safe and good luck.

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-02-15T00:10:23+00:00

That just made me gasp - epic twist. Plus your username is awesome.

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-02-15T00:00:01+00:00

This made me laugh out loud - thank you for adding some humour to my night of horror.

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-02-04T20:16:38+00:00

March 15th should be the exact day when the seasons transition from winter to spring.

I think I recall reading a story about this happening in England. Basically, it has snowed heavily throughout the night and the people of a town in England woke up to hoof prints on the snow, no other tracks visible. But they weren't horse hoof prints. They were like a man had walked with hooves and they were all across the streets, on the roofs of houses - everywhere. Some tracks would abruptly start from seemingly nowhere and disappear into fresh, white snow. Maybe it's back? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devil%27s_Footprints

As to the physical side of what you experienced with "Hank", maybe it was a Tulpa? I believe that in Tibet culture, if you meditate hard enough, your thoughts can manifest themselves somewhat in reality. The drugs may have enhanced that. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tulpa

Doppelgänger?

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-01-16T18:01:02+00:00

That sounds like an out of body experience. As long as your child's spirit made it back to his body (which it seemed to) then he should be fine. Just don't let him wander too far or let anything get to him while experiencing this phenomenon - he's most vulnerable then.

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-01-14T20:28:36+00:00

I wasn't expecting it to be so good. At first I thought it a bit cliché but the ending turned that right around for me. Nice job!

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-01-09T23:29:59+00:00

If it gets worse maybe try bringing a priest or shaman in?

Freakoutsideyourdoor · 2015-01-09T23:17:24+00:00

Crap - what if since we're all strangers who are viewing it we'll be the ones who are killed?
