Refill & Raise: The Upholstery Service You Didn’t Know You Needed

Refill & Raise: The Upholstery Service You Didn’t Know You Needed

Does your favourite chair or sofa feel like it’s lost its comfort? Are you sinking lower than you used to — or struggling to stand up easily?

You might not need to replace your furniture. You might just need our Refill & Raise service.

At Blanchetts in Palmerston North, we offer a smart, affordable solution that gives your furniture a new lease on life — without buying new.


💡 What Is “Refill & Raise”?

Refill & Raise is our way of restoring both the comfort and function of your existing furniture.

We:

  • Refill sagging seat or back cushions with new high-quality foam or feather/fibre fill

  • Raise furniture height by installing custom-made legs (especially helpful for older or lower chairs)

Whether you need a comfort upgrade or better mobility, we’ll customise the solution to your needs.


✅ Signs You Might Need It

  • Cushions that sink or feel flat when you sit down

  • Low seating that makes it hard to get up

  • Back or hip discomfort after sitting

  • Chairs or sofas that have lost their shape

  • Elderly family members struggling with soft or low furniture


🛠️ What’s Included

✔ Custom-cut foam or fill to suit your cushion shape
✔ Options for firm, medium, or soft comfort
✔ New legs to match your chair or sofa’s style
✔ Local pickup and delivery available
✔ Expert advice from our upholstery team


🧵 Why Not Just Buy New?

Because if the frame is still in good condition — and you still love the shape, size or look — it’s:

  • More cost-effective

  • More sustainable

  • And more personal

We restore the comfort while keeping the furniture you already love.
