This is THE place to shop for your custom foam needs!! I Highly recommend!! read more

Came to the store for a custom bed that I needed for my niece. David was so knowledgeable and kind. Thank you so much she loves it!!

terrible customer service. I tried to find out the status of my order and the " owner" of the business was so rude that I was appalled. I will never do business with this company again. he said he had been in business for 62 year but i Guarantee it was his dad that had been in business that long. I'm 68 and he did'nt sound over 30 if that old. he hung up on me twice. I'm hoping I even get my order now. it was $39 for the order and $19.95 shipping $9.95 handled fee for a total of $68.90. If I don't get a shipment email today or Monday I'm filing a grievance through PayPal. no excuse for an owner to talk to a customer this way. read more

Upholstery Decor is simply the best. My sister thought she would take our late grandmother's chair and reupholster it - as you can see she did not get very far. With my heart in two pieces I brought the chair in and they saw beyond the naked skeleton of a chair and truly transformed it. They are master craftsmen working with the highest level of integrity and skill. There were no shortcuts taken. Their skill makes me see and understand furniture differently. read more

First of all, I live in Orange County and drove -/+ 10 hours (two round trips) to get the quality and great customer service Dave provided, and I would do it again! We are more than thrilled with our new dining room chairs! I explained to Dave that I wanted to update them while still keeping their original character, and of course, he did just that! They are better than I imagined and I cannot be happier! Quality 10/10 Customer Service 10/10 Timing 10/10 Dave went above and beyond and I would recommend Upholstery Decor to everyone! Thanks Dave! read more

TLDR; This business tried to withhold a rightful refund of $700+ foam order through foamonline.com. This business attempted to change website cancellation policy to avoid issuing my refund. The "manager" or owner of this business talked down to me / tone policed me when I asked for my refund and when I asked why he wouldn't issue it (I cancelled within their 24 hour cancellation window). Lied about not receiving emails. Manipulative, strange, immoral - SPEND YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE! (See attached photos at my attempts to contact / their attempts to change their website cancellation policy)! I had a terrible experience with this business / their online store foamonline.com . I purchased two custom latex foam mattresses for my camper van couch / bed. I immediately realized that latex foam was not the foam I wanted for several reasons and emailed to cancel the order within 8 minutes of placing. Unfortunately, since I had been looking at various online foam stores, I emailed the wrong foam supplier to cancel. The next day that foam company let me know they didn't have an order from me, which prompted me to email foamonline.com to cancel my order. This cancellation was within the 24 hour cancellation as per their website. This was a Friday. By Monday, I hadn't heard back for a confirmation on the cancellation. I sent another followup email. Tuesday came and still nothing from foamonline.com. I attempted to call but the line was busy two different times. Wednesday I call and finally get through. The man who answered says he doesn't see either of my two emails and he's going to check if it went into production. Either way, he'll take care of it. He emails me saying they can't find either of my cancellation emails. I send screenshots of both emails and a screenshot of my calls from Tuesday. I then get an email stating that my order has already been sent to production so I can't cancel it. He forwards their production company's email saying they can't cancel. By the way, he doesn't make the foam cuts himself, he has it done through a different business so you might as well go to a business who does it themselves. After several attempts to call, I finally get through and ask to speak to a manager. It's the same man from the previous phone call and he states he's the manager. Then proceeds a useless back and fourth of me asking why he would not refund me given I had cancelled within 24 hours as per their website. He says since he never received my emails, he didn't receive cancellation notice until 5 days after my order (my phone call on Wednesday). He says he can't take my screenshots as evidence of email. He then tone policed me by essentially telling me that being sweet might get me somewhere. He proceeded to suddenly play victim and say that he's going to try and speak to the owner of the company to get me my refund though when I asked him who is in charge of refunds he told me he was. He also wouldn't let me speak to the owner (which I believe is him). He asked me to send my original email that I sent to the wrong foam company to plead my case to the fictitious refund givers and told me if he was able to get my refund "you're going to call me back and say 'wow this guy is pretty cooool'" I hung up disgusted. There is no possible way he didn't receive my emails. Gmail sends a return to sender email if the person on the other end doesn't receive it. Both emails were in my sent folder. I did not appreciate his manipulative behavior of attempting to steal my money for some issue on his end. The worst part is when I checked back at his cancellation policy on the website immediately after speaking to him on the phone, he had CHANGED IT to "Once an order is submitted, it can not be canceled. All sales are final and non-refundable". It has since changed back to his original cancellation policy (see pictures attached). After threatening legal action (my order was over $700) over withholding my refund and sending screenshots of my original email + the other two + my phone calls, he issued my refund without saying anything other than sending the refund receipt. I'm horrified by this business and the man in charge. He clearly made a mistake on his end and instead of issuing my refund as stated in his refund policy, he literally tried to trick me out of my money. As of now he has since changed his refund policy BACK to the 24 hour policy that it was before. He only changed it in the first place to further try to change the situation in his favor. I have since read the other 1 star reviews and definitely see why I had such an issue with this person. The man who I dealt with is delusional and extremely ego-centric and all around strange. I'd HIGHLY recommend going elsewhere if you don't want to waste your time, money, and energy. read more

This place is legit. They fixed my son's recliner and were really friendly. Great price too. Highly recommend!!

My mom had a sewing business in Santa Barbara and went here for all her foam needs. Highly recommend.

I ordered foam from this store, and the incorrect foam was sent which was unusable and hard as a rock. I was, given a grocery load of empathy and excuses but no refund. I was scammed me out of $367, but God sees all. I do not recommend this Upholstery company. read more

Amazing business!! The customer service was awesome, David has such a great attitude, wonderfully priced! I was searching for some upholstery foam, online, at Michaels, etc. and then was driving on past and saw this shop - had exactly what I needed for much better prices than anywhere else i had seen. Love it! read more

This is the best upholstery shop in the Santa Barbara area and the most economical. David does a great job and it's pretty quick. They also sell custom cut foam for mattresses, cushions, boat seats, etc. I've taken in my own fabric and had cushions made, but I think they'll provide fabric as well. Nice to do business locally with nice people. read more

I found this company to be helpful, respectful, courteous and professional. I called to see if they had a piece of foam for a camping bed. David was very helpful over the phone informing me of the different thicknesses, densities and sizes he had in stock. I arrived at this business to pick up my bed and found him to be professional and willing to help me further by spending more time with me and my Indecisiveness. Then after purchasing my bed I decided to get a more firm version of the same bed. David was respectful of my decision and even let me have the new one without charging me the difference for the more expensive one. Great company! This is what good customer service looks like. read more

This shop has done some of the most amazing upholstery work I have ever seen. I would highly recommend Upholstery Decor with full confidence. I now live in the Bay Area and still believe the trip to Goleta is worth it for David's quality work. read more

Dave reupholstered my original Milo Baughman Scoop chair. He knew exactly the type of material needed and perfectly matched the color. Amazing craftsmanship. He's the best! read more

We have worked with Dave on two projects. He is The Foam Wizard. He is the nicest guy we have ever done business with. We are confused about the reviews of him being rude to customers. The one where he thought it was a prank call when asked whether or not he did upholstery after answering Upholstery Decor actually made us laugh out loud though! We weren't sure what kind of fabric to have and he sat through the entire marine fabric catalog and helped us pick a fabric for our cockpit cushions. The man has a passion for foam and reupholstering. He grew up in the shop with his dad, literally has a lifetime of experience in foam and upholstery! He offers a fair price and amazing work with an extensive knowledge of the business. Extremely helpful, friendly and professional! A+ #1 from Patrick and Alyssa, 100%. Thank you for impeccable work! read more

I called very late in the day and David Pulver, the owner, answered the phone and I asked to have a foam pillow cut and he said that he could cut it right away so I brought it into his shop and he immediately cut my foam pillow. That is what I call very good service! And he was so nice about it! Previously, my husband and I bought a foam pad from his shop for the back of our van and he cut the pad to fit our van floor. He did such a nice job then too. I would highly recommend this business! read more

David at Upholstery Decor, Inc. has beautifully completed three projects for me recently. He replaced the foam in the seat of my recliner, the foam in the seat cushions of my couch, and went considerably out of his way to help me create six perfect back cushions for use in the pews of my church. He takes great pride in providing excellent products and service to his customers in a timely way. read more

I was in desperate need of a custom foam filter for my HVAC System and by luck, I found Upholstery Decor (AKA foamonline.com). I gave them a call and got a very professional representative named Dave. He walked me through the order form on the the web site and coached me on the specific types and densities. These days, it's not often people know the products they sell, but Dave was a breath of fresh air. Their company built the filters to my exact specs and they worked perfectly. I am very satisfied with the service and product quality. Thanks for being there Dave! read more

I never beg any business to take my money David. I would not order from your business ever again.

I was debating whether to reupholster or buy new dining room chairs. Luckily, I got a quote from Upholstery Decor! I was able to redo the chairs I love at a reasonable price. The turn-around time was about a week! I am thrilled with the results. read more

I read the glowing review about how "The people go the extra mile to satisfy the customer." I had an admittedly non-standard job for an upholstery shop, but it was a pretty easy request: I had a throw rug that I wanted to be cut and stitched to keep it from unraveling. Their response was utter annoyance as if it was a bother that I was even asking them. I asked if they could recommend anyone else that might be able to do it. The guy got even more annoyed that I was wasting his time. It felt like such a put-down for a business in my own neighborhood where I have lived for decades. I just said "Have a great day." And hung up the phone. But it left me with a bad feeling. Fortunately, just a block away at Coleman Carpet they were happy to help me. They really did go the extra mile and treated me with respect. They did the job in just one day and it looks beautiful. read more

They had exactly what I needed and asked the right questions to help me make decisions. Five star recommendation

Dave is very knowledgeable about the industry and will help you figure out which type of foam you need to achieve the results you need. Without him, I could not have prototyped the products that I have. Indispensable! read more

My husband and I have had the pleasure of working with David multiple times throughout the years. He is one of the kindest most understanding individual we have ever delt with! We promote and will continue to do business with him! Thank you David for ALL that you do.... read more

David is a master craftsman. All these 1 star comments are babies. Don't listen to them. There are not a lot of people like David...get to know him and stop criticizing the way he does business. You are lucky to work with him, not the other way around. read more

David is a very talented artist. His work really shows his dedication to the trade, and his eye for perfection. The service provided was friendly and welcoming and David went to great extents to provide excellent customer service. I also purchased some upholstery accessories, which he made very reasonable and easy. My experience with Upholstery Decor was outstanding and I would highly recommend them! Thank you! read more

I have a couch with some cushions that have become pretty flat and uncomfortable so I have been looking for a local business that does reupholstery. I did a quick google search, and two of the places I had called first, either did not offer the service or had closed, even though they came up on a google search. I called this business and said "hi, I was just curious if you guys did reupholstering?" I think that's a reasonable question to ask, and let's be clear; a yes or no question at that. There was a 10 second delay, I actually pulled the phone away from my ear to see if I was disconnected, and then the man said "how about you do a google search of upholstery decor inc..." I have worked in customer service for over a decade, I ABSOLUTELY know when I'm being patronized or spoken down to, But I thought let me give this guy the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's actually referring me to a different place (I have called 2 places prior, and read the names of about 7 6 businesses at this point, I was t positive of the exact name of the business I called) so I just said "oh ok..." and he said in an extremely exasperated tone "that would answer SOOO many of your questions." And so I simply said thanks and he hung up. I don't need to spoken to like I'm a second class citizen because I've asked you a question that you deem yourself too important to answer. I've read this gentleman's responses to his negative reviews where he gives details of the high-end pieces he works on, and demeans the quality of work he's being simply asked about by other people as though it is some justification to treat people poorly, or as though answering the phone at his business is a waste of his precious time as he hand beads and stitches something that people rest their asses on. If you're too busy to answer the phone, maybe hire someone to do it for you, or get an answering machine. It would have taken him FAR less time to have just said "yes" when I called, than to behave as though I was personally attacking his integrity of work by asking him what services he offered and giving me an extremely rude response. I would never do business with someone whose character was so poorly reflected in a phone conversation that lasted all of a minute. read more

Great service, and great price! The people go the extra mile to satisfy the customer. If you are looking for someone to do upholstery work, or cut foam for upholstery etc, please visit them. read more

I wandered into Upholstery Decor last week for my second time in about 25 years. David, the owner, was again extremely helpful. Today, just as he'd done decades ago, listened thoughtfully to my project, offered his expert services and translated my dream into a "foam" reality, all while I sat and waited. There are very few craftsmen in the world who take as much pride in their work, and it's a pleasure. As a small shop, I don't imagine all jobs get "while you wait" promptness. But, if quality work is a priority, I would always make Upholstery Decor my first call or visit. read more

Wow!!! Is all I can say!!! This guy helped me so much!! I am so thankful to Dave. I was working on some cushions and went to him for the foam. I got so much more than foam!! He took the time to explain how to measure the foam just right for what I needed and also explained the different kinds of density for different applications. He even gave a bunch of upholstery tips I really needed to know. He has a wealth of knowledge and his craftsmanship shows it. I've seen his work. With his direction and instruction (which he was so happy to share with me) the end result.... Great looking and comfortable cushions for my benches!!! I have a couple of other projects coming up and will without a question go to Upholstery Decor for my foam. Prices are really good too!!! : ) I recommend Upholstery Decor to all my friends. read more

Dave has been cutting custom cushion foam for my biz for over 15 years. Dave is so reliable, helpful, knowledgable... grateful he's there! "Therapy Comfort Cushions" wouldn't be the same without him. Thank you, Dave! read more

Could the other glowing reviewers explain exactly how this business "goes the extra mile"? Give concrete and specific examples. I had the same experience as Jill C. Do yourself a favor and call this company BEFORE you order. You will be able to evaluate for yourself what it will be like to deal with them. As the owner said he is in the top five nation wide. Find and call one of the other four. I have a standard order. I read their web site on ship times. 6 days after I ordered I called for a UPS tracking number. It is now 14 days later and I asked again for my UPS tracking number. I'm never given a tracking number, I was just criticized for wasting his time and more. I think giving a customer a tracking number is NOT going the extra mile. This business is on line as foamonline.com. The business is Upholstery Decor Inc at 5788 Hollister Ave, Goleta, CA 93117.

i am so grateful i had a project for the not for profit and he created an amazing cover for protecting a poster thanks so much johnny d gorunbaby.com read more

I admit that David is not the biggest "people" person. He isn't a big talker. But he was very kind, and DID go the extra mile for me. I hired him to remake the cushions for my couch and also for my easy chair. While doing that job he noticed some frayed areas on my slipcovers and took the time to sew them up! When I went to pick up the cushions, he was still putting the cover on one of them, and noticed another little hole, and immediately took to his machine and sewed it up as well. The cushions he made for the couch were beautiful and just perfect. The chair seat cushion, after I lived with it for a few days, I asked him to redo with a slightly firmer foam, and he did that for me. I hired David for a second job, to reupholster two mid-century swivel chairs, and he did a beautiful job, picking them up and delivering them back to my home. He has good contacts, and he sent some wood parts out to be refinished for the chairs, and those parts came back beautiful also. The chairs were expensive to have redone, but worth every penny! I plan to contact him soon because he told me of a gal that he knows who makes beautiful custom slipcovers, and I will need new ones soon. read more

They really are as good as it gets. I needed foam blocks for - you won't believe this - blocking the holes made by base posts on our LL baseball field. The blocks made by the base manufacturer were upwards of $200 for the set. Measured out what I needed, placed plastic whiskers in the center of each block and I have a better solution for under $50 including shipping. This company is terrific! read more

I wish I had an upholstery project for this shop as Mr. Pulver is indeed a master craftsman. The furniture pieces he has restored are breathtaking. I have visited his shop several times over the years but only for small, and what to Mr. Pulver must be "boring", projects (mattresses for trundle beds, foam inserts for pelican boxes, etc...). Nevertheless, this gentleman is generous with his time and knowledge. I keep coming back and refer my friends. I know he has much larger, grandiose projects that undoubtedly pay far more than my paltry projects, but he always treats me with kindness and respect. Kudos to Mr. Pulver and Upholstery Decor. read more

WORST customer service I have ever encountered. I agree with other reviewer(s) that dave gets extremely annoyed if you ask any questions.. such as regarding status of your order. The response (if you can get one) is RUDE, UNFRIENDLY, UNPROFESSIONAL and UNHELPFUL. It was a huge mistake doing business with this company. I cannot comment on the quality or condition of the ordered product as I have no idea WHEN or IF it will ever arrive. That's too big of a bother for dave. read more

Ordered some foam on line three weeks ago. Not a large amount, just enought to redo a motorcycle seat. When I had received my gel pad I ordered from China that I ordered on the same day I called to just ask if it was shipped yet. Dave told me "probably". I asked if he could confirm that with a tracking number or something. I then got a 20 minute lecture of how he actually sits in an office and someplace else cuts and ships the foam and he has no way of tracking that because the guy that use to provide him with that info has retired....He reassured me that he made his first million dollars when he was 38 years old so my measly $42 was nothing for him to refund. Oh, and in his 20 plus years he has never lost one single order....not one, millions of orders, millions.....I politely informed him that I "probably" won't be ordering from him again. And no, I still have not received the foam. I emailed him 3 days ago and have not gotten a response yet. This guy is arrogant and useless. I don't expect I will see my foam but hey, IF he does refund my money maybe I can put it towards my first million dollars:) read more

The foam i received was 2" too short in the back and 2" short in the front. Not to mention when I received the package they had jammed the foam so tight and the packaging was so awful that one side was completed dented (holes scattered across one side). I called the company up and they blamed it on me for ordering their CHEAP foam and that i wasn't educated enough to know to buy the better foam. He repeatedly made me feel like an unintelligent human being by not being a "foam master" and wouldn't let go that it shrunk in the packaging process yet once again because it was "my fault" for buying THEIR cheap foam. I asked for them to either send me a new one or refund my money. He only offered to refund my money (after a long drawn out debate) only after i ordered a new BETTER quality foam. Needless to say I would prefer not to get scammed because I did not trust this man to refund my money and I would probably end up more in the hole. I have never seen more poor customer service in my whole life!! This man was blaming everything on me, because clearly his associates do not know how to cut the proper lengths or package it properly. This has nothing to do with the "cheap"foam. Foam just does not SHRINK like that. NEVER GO THROUGH THIS COMPANY!!!! read more
