How to Reupholster an RV Sleeper Sofa Backrest

Your RV is your home on wheels, so why not give your RV furniture the attention it deserves? Giving new life to an old jack knife sofa is easy with help from Sailrite. In this video, we’ll show you how to reupholster the backrest for a pull-out jack knife sofa from start to finish — from replacing the foam to attaching the cover to the metal frame. This is an easily customizable project. We’re adding a fabric pull and decorative pleats to give our backrest extra flair. Let’s get started!
