Nu-Rest Upholstery is more than just a business; we’re a family, and have been for three generations.
What started over 60 years ago as a small family-run upholstery workshop has grown into a trusted name in furniture restoration, built on craftsmanship, care, and a deep-rooted passion for what we do. The knowledge and skills we use today have been lovingly passed down from generation to generation.
Now led by a husband-and-wife team, James and Mindelle, Nu-Rest remains a close-knit operation where every customer is treated like extended family. We pride ourselves on being approachable, honest, and always willing to go the extra mile. Whether you’re looking for expert commercial upholstery, want to breathe new life into your beloved three-piece suite, or need professional French polishing to restore an antique dining set just in time for the holiday season, we’re here to help
When you choose Nu-Rest, you’re not just a number. You’re known by name, and your furniture is treated with the same care and attention we’d give our own. Whether it’s a cherished antique or a modern piece in need of a refresh, we take pride in restoring and transforming it with precision and pride.
We also love helping our customers understand what’s possible. We’ll take the time to talk you through options, fabrics, finishes, and our process so that you feel confident and excited about the results.
Looking to the future, our youngest daughter is set to study textiles at Central St Martins in London, with hopes of joining the family business in time, carrying on the Nu-Rest legacy into a fourth generation.

“What a fantastic company. Found them by chance when looking for an upholsterer. Very knowledgable, loads of good advise & materials to pick from to. Furniture was all returned quicker than estimated and it’s like having brand new sofa, chairs & dinning room chairs to. Delighted with the company & service provided.”

“Delighted with the workmanship, had an old ( smokers chair as it was called years ago) which was nearly dumped a few times, so glad we never. Nu -rest transformed it and it looks amazing. Now takes pride of place in lounge. Lovely people to deal with, would highly recommend”
Linda Brown
“Excellent company to do business with. Quality workmanship. Excellent customer service and quick delivery. 6 Dining Chairs recovered and now look as good – or even better than – as new. Would definitely recommend this company.”
Joan Buchanan
“Such a professional company with superb customer service!
I was a bit sceptical about having our cuddle chair recovered as I find that when most soft furnishings are redone it is very obvious. However our chair has been returned (ahead of schedule) looking better than when it went! The finish and attention to detail is excellent. I would highly recommend Nu-Rest to anyone looking for a quality upholsterer.”
