Upholstery is the work of providing furniture, especially seats with padding, springs, webbing and fabric or leather covers. The word upholstery comes from the Middle English word upholder, which referred to a tradesman who held up his goods. Upholstery is equally applicable to domestic, automobile, airplane and boat furniture, it can also be applied to mattresses particularly the upper layers though these often differ in designs. A person who works with upholstery is called an upholsterer; an apprentice upholsterer is sometimes called an outsider or trimmer. Traditionally upholstery which took place in earlier times used coil materials like coil springs, animal hair, cow, straw and hay.

Upholder is the archaic name which was used for ‘upholsterer’ in the past, although it appears to have a connotation of repairing furniture rather than creating new upholstered pieces from scratch. In 18th century London, upholders frequently served as interior decorators responsible for all aspects of a room’s décor. All of these individuals were members of the Worshipful Company of Upholders, whose traditional role prior to the 18th century was to provide upholstery, textiles and fittings for funerals. In the great London furniture-making partnerships of the 18th century, a cabinet maker usually paired with an upholder: Ville and Cobb, Ince and Mayhew, Chippendale and Rannie or Haig.

The major types of upholstery include the following:

1) Traditional Upholstery- This is a form of upholstery which is a craft that evolved over centuries for padding and covering chairs, seats and sofas, before the development of sewing machines, synthetic fabrics and plastic foam. Using a solid wood or webbed platform, it can involve the use of springs, lashings, stuffings of animal hair, grasses and coir.

2) Automobile Upholstery- An automotive upholsterer also known as a trimmer, coach trimmer or motor trimmer shares many of the skills required in upholstery, in addition to being able to work with carpet. Many automotive trimmers now work either in automotive design or with aftermarket trim shops carrying out repairs, restorations or conversions for customers directly. A few automobile manufacturers still employ trimmers, for example, Aston Martin.
