how much fabric to reupholster a camelback sofa

[ElenaRose]

Hello there! That's a great question. Figuring out fabric yardage can be tricky, but we can get you a solid estimate based on typical requirements.

Generally, the amount of fabric you'll need for a camelback sofa depends on its specific length. For a sofa with loose cushions that is between 60 and 72 inches long, you'll need about 13 yards. If your sofa is larger, from 73 to 84 inches, you should plan for 16 yards. For a particularly long camelback sofa, from 85 to 96 inches, you'd need around 18 yards of fabric.

Another estimate for an antique-style camelback sofa suggests you might need around 11 yards. The variation in these numbers comes down to the specific design of your sofa, such as the number of cushions and the height of the back.

A very important factor to keep in mind is the pattern of your chosen fabric. If you select a fabric with a large, repeating pattern, you will need to purchase extra yardage to ensure the pattern matches up correctly across the different sections of the sofa. It's always a good idea to measure your specific piece or consult with a professional upholsterer to get the most accurate measurement before buying your material.
