Report
I bought a sofa which started to sag after 3 years. I called Hindson upholstery on Friday 23rd March 2018, a gentleman came to my house on Monday 26th March and offered me various options that would help my sofa. I opted to have new foam inserts in all the cushions. The cushions were taken away at 11:30 the same day and returned to me at 15:30 the same day. A very impressive service and the cushions were amazing and come with a 10 year warranty. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone who needs a sofa repaired or new cushions
