Furniture worth keeping, beautifully renewed
For homeowners across Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville, Burlington, and the GTA who want a piece to feel new again without losing the comfort, memory, and place it has already earned in the home.
Over 20 years of hands-on upholstery experience, with working shop locations in North York and Mississauga.
The best upholstered pieces feel like they were made for the space. We work with designers, homeowners, and business owners to shape the right size, comfort, fabric, leather, colour, proportion, and finish – so the final piece feels intentional, personal, and complete in the room.
From concept to crafted upholstery
Bring us a sketch, a reference photo, a room direction, or a well-built piece ready for a new life. We help turn the idea into upholstery that looks considered, feels comfortable, and is finished with care.
Our work ranges from made-to-measure seating, headboards, benches, and banquettes to reupholstery, leather work, foam replacement, cushion rebuilding, and furniture restoration. The service may change, but the standard stays the same: proportion, comfort, material choice, and clean finishing.

Why designers and
homeowners work with us
Because custom upholstery can make a room feel finished – with the right fabric, comfort, proportion, and craftsmanship behind every detail.
A workshop-based custom upholstery studio
Genuine Upholstery is built on hands-on shop work, not showroom talk. From North York to Mississauga, our workshops support designers, homeowners, and commercial clients with custom upholstery, reupholstery, leather work, cushions, and restoration finished with practical craftsmanship.
Start with our fabric and leather partners, or visit our showroom to explore options in person. We help narrow the choice by look, texture, durability, cleanability, and how the material will live in the room.

Highly recommended. Genuine Upholstery replaced the entire pre-existing fabric. We love the work done so fast and so well. We can continue using these chairs thanks to you.

I was exceptionally pleased with the service provided by Genuine Upholstery. Everything from the initial communication, to fabric selection, to production and delivery were exemplary. The services provided were always prompt and professional. The end result was excellent, and I was very satisfied with the refurbishment. I would highly recommend Genuine Upholstery for anyone looking to refurbish their chairs.

I highly recommend Genuine Upholstery. Harry is a magician and master of his craft. My request was atypical. I needed the destroyed foam cushion (courtesy of our furbaby) repaired. And it had to fit the existing cover that had been removed for a zipper repair as our sectional was custom-made. The end result was perfection. The cover fits like a glove! Even better than the original cushion insert with our model.

The owner did an exceptional job reupholstering my leather sofa, loveseat, and chair set, which was passed down from my parents. The craftsmanship was excellent, and I’m so happy with the result. I would definitely come back and highly recommend

Harry was very professional in his attention to details and suggestions. He took my thoughts on colour and fabric and provided a comprehensive selection of sample fabrics. The end result of reupholstering my wingback chair was more comfortable than before, and the quality of workmanship and fabric were exceptional.
