r/upholstery on Reddit: Reupholstering old recliner with piping
March 5, 2018 -
Hey all!
I'm fairly new to this sort of thing, however I will try to keep it simple and I welcome all helpful responses as I know you're all the experts on this.
I have an old wooden reclining chair (like this one) that has two cushions as well as an ottoman with an additional cushion. The chair and the cushion pattern is a bit dated, and I'd like to reupholster the chair and possibly refinish the wood. It's all in great condition, just not in great style.
My problem is that these cushions have piping. I am wondering if when I reupholster, is it necessary to add new piping, or can the job be done without? If so, how would that affect the cushions?
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

Piping is purely decorative (imo) and fairly old-school.. One could argue leaving the piping off could make it look more modern. Maybe a nice top stitch on the border depending on the material choice?
Good luck! Looks like a fun project!

I have over 30 years experience in upholstery and I totally agree with Rusty, piping is just for decoration a nice neat top stitch is more current and looks great

April 22, 2025 - Up until this project, I had recovered a few dining seats, but I’d never actually reupholstered anything. The main difference being, I’d never made or used welt cord or double welt piping. My prior projects we’re as simple as unscrewing a chair seat, stapling fabric to the underside and then reattaching it with the four screws back to the chair frame.

I think it's a pleather material and if so there are repair kits you can buy on Amazon or wherever. They're probably 20-25 dollars and you mix to match a color and essentially paint it on.
