Hi all,
Had my very tired looking 14 year old seats reupholstered
Very pleased with the results
Before:
After:
Also had the R'N'R mattress done.
Nick Wilmot from Comfortzleisure did all the hard work
Top man and fellow Bongo owner. Also supplied me with spare material (Dark Merlin) and spray adhesive for the door cards.

Very nice, did you get the foam redone or just the covers?
Ours is the other way round, that the foam isn't very supportive anymore but the covers are OK. Would obviously look to get the whole lot done though.

Hi,
I originally set out to have both the foam upgraded and the seats recovered. I then decided to additionally have my newish R'N'R mattress recovered to match the rest. Nick from Comfortz Leisure offered a seat swap-out. I'll provide a politician's answer to the price - depends on what you want doing and what material you choose and any specific individual requirements. I don't know what Nick actually did to the foam but before the work - I could feel the sharp tin edges through the seat
and now I can't
With hindsight I should have chosen the mattress covers with a couple of stitched panels (but I'm not complaining). More importantly SWMBO likes the look.
I'd approached a couple of local upholsterers and they produced stunning portfolios of work done on prestige vehicles e.g. vintage VW split-screen camper vans retailing around £30K upwards. These guys weren't really keen on working on something so ordinary but they were keen to charge between £550+ to £1200+ for 2 front seats
. Nick was significantly cheaper and that included the 3 piece mattress covers.
Became a no-brainer.

Nick does a first class job on things like this.
We have had some seat covers and other bits and pieces from him for our VW and his quality is second to none at far better prices than a lot of the other people.
Always willing to have a go at something new if you have an idea for something out of the ordinary as well.
