Well I have finally got my 1988 Eriba Puck home today. 1st outing next week.

I would like to have the cushions and curtains re-done.

Does anyone have any recommendations of companies that could do this please

Are we talking seats or are there loose scatter type cushions?

If you are talking about the seats then I would suggest finding a local re-upholsterer as postage on such large items would be expensive.

Seat bases in pucks are usually plywood based for strength so recovering is a better option to replacing...........some were foam and others interior sprung (an add on option at point of sale when new) Covering over the original material rather than replacing it may be a better option as some people like to return them to original.

I recently sold my puck (1989) and included the original curtains in the sale for that reason.

If talking about curtains and scatter type cushions .........I made my own


If you don't have the facilities to make your own talk to local dress shops haberdashers etc they most always have a "little lady" somewhere who does alterations and could make you some.

Edit .........forgot to say congratulations on acquiring a puck and hope you enjoy it for many years to come.

Thanks so much for the reply. It has a sprung seats so covering over is a good idea.

I had thought about buying the fabric, taking the bolster cushions in and asking them to make 2 so I will go down that route.

The curtains that are in look a doddle to make. I have a sewing machine so may try making some.


I love my little puck and I know I will enjoy taking him out 😀

I bought some curtain liner when I made mine ...............helps keep the early morning light out in summer.

I approached a local furniture upholsterer, they looked at the job and said "can do"
I bought the new foam online and the fireproof material online from a remnants
company. I had them back in a week or so.
The local Bristol based companies had huge waiting lists.
