Acme-Western Upholstery Supply

this place is a dream for anyone that wants to do some DIY furniture reupholstering. I think they are a wholesaler, but they were happy to work with me. I bought some kitchen chairs off craigslist and they needed a new foam cushion. since Jo-​Ann fabrics has a depressingly limited selection of upholstering necessities like foam, I was looking for where the pros shop. western was PERFECT. it was busy, so we had to wait 5 minutes for someone to help us, but they had a lot of foam from which to choose. we didn’t buy our fabric there, but they had TONS. and they also have all the fixings for upholstering. it’s one of those type of places that if they don’t have it, either it doesn’t exist or you probably don’t need it.

What a find this was. Thank you, Unilocal!
I just started my first upholstery project and was struggling through the «sales» prices for supplies at certain chain craft stores in town. No more I tell you!
Go check this place out. They have literally everything you need for a project and are very polite.
Also, ask to see the close-​out section in the back!

These guys are remarkably helpful! I no nothing about upholstery, and they helped fill all my needs for my first upholstery project. Not only a great selection of upholstery fabrics, vinyl, and leather, but all the additional materials like foam, as well as all the tools necessary for the job.

This place is the holy grail of upholstery supplies. (Ok, at least for Denver.)
These guys have everything from the tools you’re going to need, to pre-​stitched welting in a rainbow of colors, vinyl, discount commercial grade fabric, foam, and even the sparkly vinyl for diner seats. They don’t do any upholstering in-​house, but most of the counter guys have been doing it for years. I talked to a guy named Vince, who not only gave me a great run down of what they do, but cut samples and offered advice.
Keep in mind, it’s a warehouse. I wouldn’t suggest wandering in after work in your heels and silky shirt. (That, and you’re going to get eyed by the guys shooting the breeze and picking out vinyl for their boat seats.) Also, it’s a Wholesale warehouse. They seem pretty flexible on whether or not you need a tax ID to actually shop there (because they seem to get plenty of industry business), and their prices are roughly half of retail.
So forget the 9^th circle of hell that is jo-ann’s, and get on down to western upholstery.
