Sofa Reupholstery Cost in Dubai (2026 Price Guide)
How much does sofa reupholstery cost in Dubai? Real 2026 price ranges for 2, 3 & L-shaped sofas, fabric vs leather, foam replacement & majlis reupholstery.
If you are searching for sofa reupholstery cost in Dubai, prices in 2026 typically range from AED 900 for a single armchair to AED 6,500+ for a large L-shaped or U-shaped majlis. The final price depends on four things: sofa size, fabric grade, foam replacement, and frame repairs.
Average sofa reupholstery prices in Dubai (2026)
- Single armchair reupholstery — AED 900 to AED 1,600
- 2-seater sofa reupholstery — AED 1,800 to AED 2,800
- 3-seater sofa reupholstery — AED 2,400 to AED 3,800
- L-shaped sofa reupholstery — AED 3,500 to AED 6,500
- Majlis reupholstery (full set) — AED 5,000 to AED 15,000
These ranges assume mid-range Turkish or European upholstery fabric. Premium Italian velvet, boucle and full-grain leather can add 30 to 80 percent to the total.
What actually affects the price
1. Fabric type and grade
Fabric is usually the single biggest line item. Standard linen-blend runs around AED 90 to AED 160 per meter in Dubai fabric souks, while premium velvet, chenille and performance fabrics like Sunbrella can reach AED 300 to AED 600 per meter.
2. Foam and cushion replacement
High-density HR foam replacement adds roughly AED 250 to AED 600 per seat. If your cushions have gone flat or your majlis has lost its shape, this is where comfort is restored.
3. Frame and spring repair
Broken frames, snapped webbing and sagging sinuous springs are common in older sofas. Budget an extra AED 300 to AED 900 depending on the damage.
4. Pickup, delivery and workshop time
Reputable Dubai upholstery workshops include free pickup and delivery within Dubai. Typical turnaround is 5 to 10 working days.
Is reupholstering cheaper than buying new in Dubai?
For any solid-frame sofa above AED 4,000 original price, reupholstery is almost always the cheaper and greener option. You keep a frame that is already broken in, and you choose a fabric that actually matches your interior.
A well-built sofa reupholstered every 8 to 10 years will outlast three flat-pack replacements — and cost less over its lifetime.
