How to Reupholster an RV Sleeper Sofa Seat

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 seat portion of this 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 help keep the fabric in place when an occupant sits on the sofa. Let’s get started!
