Where to buy upholstery materials, by country. 59 suppliers across 5 countries — traditional materials, foam, fabric, tools, sundries, and the fabric houses themselves. Free to use, and nobody pays to be listed.
How this list is checked. Every website here was fetched and read on 2026-08-01. That confirms the site was live and trading-looking on that date — it is not a statement about whether a company is solvent, which nobody can check from outside. The list is re-checked every six months.
No supplier has paid to appear and there are no affiliate links on this page. One listing is a business I run myself; it says so on the entry. If a listing is wrong or a supplier has closed, tell me and I will fix it.

Know one that should be here?
Suppliers you actually use are worth more than anything I could find by searching. Anywhere in the world — the list is thin outside the countries above and I would particularly like Ireland, South Africa and mainland Europe.
