Calvin’s Upholstery is a family-run upholstery business founded in 2004 in Vancouver. They specialize in custom upholstery, and we liked that all their furniture is locally made. 

We were impressed by their ability to accommodate embroidery work on almost any fabric for chairs, beds, draperies, headboards, and other items.

Calvin’s Upholstery’s antique restoration services were our favorite because we all know how attached we can become to our furniture. 

We also believe it is an environmentally friendly service because restoring old furniture is a great way to preserve its quality rather than throwing away old furniture.

Calvin’s Upholstery also provides furniture refinishing, resizing, slipcovers, and other services. We think this establishment is ideal for clients who already know the design they would like as they offer custom-built and made-to-order upholstery projects. 

Perhaps the only drawback of this company is that we believe their website could be more user-friendly. We also think they could improve their website’s overall design because they have many services to showcase.

Moreover, they are also closed on weekends, which we think limits their availability. Nonetheless, we felt Calvin’s Upholstery deserved to be on our list because they are a one-stop shop for upholstery services in Vancouver.

Established in 2014, Xeno has been providing upholstery services across Vancouver Mainland and Vancouver Island.

We appreciate that they provide free consultations for clients because we believe this allows customers to discuss the end product they want to be made thoroughly.

What we noticed right away about Xeno is that they specialize in custom services for upholstery, sofa cushion replacements, marine and RV upholstery, and custom designing and patterning.

We were impressed by their wide range of upholstery services, which include residential, commercial, restaurant, and healthcare.

This company is unique in that they provide custom foam cutting for a wide variety of foams that they also sell in their shop. We found it convenient that customers only need to provide the size and design they desired, and Xeno would handle the rest.

With that said, we were a bit disappointed that they don’t offer auto upholstery services. We only wish they also offered this service as it would’ve been a good addition.

Nevertheless, we appreciate the fact that they provide customers with multiple designs, grades, and color options, as we believe this is ideal for matching every customer’s taste.

On a whole, if you’re looking for a full-service upholstery shop, we think you should check out Xeno Foam and Upholstery.

Great customer services and reasonable prices

“I hired them to reupholster an antique couch and chair. It was a complex job so I wanted to use a company with the skills to do it right. I have to say, they more than met my expectations.

The couches look fantastic in my home. Highly recommended.” -Matt P.
