"Upholstered" refers to furniture that is covered with padding, fabric, or leather to provide comfort and aesthetic appeal. Common examples of upholstered items include chairs, sofas, and headboards. The upholstery process involves adding layers of cushioning materials, such as foam or batting, and then covering them with a chosen fabric or leather. The choice of upholstery material can greatly affect the look and feel of the furniture. Popular fabrics include cotton, linen, and synthetic blends, while leather offers a more luxurious option. Proper care and maintenance of upholstered items can extend their lifespan and keep them looking fresh and inviting.
