How to Reupholster a Dual-Bolster Backrest for a Dining Area

In this tutorial video, we will reupholster a dual-bolster backrest for a boat’s cabin dining area. It is time for a refresh in color and style, so we will be using Outdura® Upholstery Fabric from Sailrite®. Outdura fabric comes in many styles and colors and is very UV, stain and water resistant. We will be using the old foam and taking measurements from it to pattern the new fabric. This backrest cushion features two separate sections, which are zippered on the back side to insert each of the bolster foam pieces. Since the backrest cushions take a curve, the decorative fabric will naturally create gorgeous pleats that will accentuate the beauty of the dining area. Learn how to upholster your own by watching this tutorial video and buying your supplies from Sailrite.
