Amia Chair Reupholstery Service
New Seat Pad:
We’re excited to announce that we are now offering a brand new seat pad on all of our Steelcase Amia Chairs!
Our new seat pad is made of high density molded foam, identical to the Steelcase OEM seat pads (including the contoured shape of the original), except we’ve chosen to add an additional 1/2″ of thickness to our new seat cushion for additional comfort. On top of that, our new seat pad is made right here in the U.S.A. and the original foam pad is sent to our foam supplier to be recycled! Win-Win-Win!!
The result is a brand new, slightly thicker seat on every Steelcase Amia chair we sell!
- Brand New Virgin Foam Seat Pad (Never Sat In)
- +1/2″ of Additional Thickness
- High Density Molded Foam
- Contoured Shape
- Increased Comfort
- Made in the USA
About Our Upholstery Department:
Crandall Office Furniture has been reupholstering office chairs since the day we opened our doors in 2002. Since then our in-house upholstery department has grown to include 6 full time upholstery techs with full sewing and upholstery capabilities.
If your Amia chair upholstery has seen better days, or you are looking to upgrade to our new thicker seat pad (more info on that below), you’re in the right place!
**Upholstery Services & All Replacement Chair Cushions are Made to Order and are Non-Returnable & Non-Refundable**
Note: The seat assemblies being used are from used chairs, and some minor dings and scrapes are not uncommon on the plastic components and trim pieces of the seats.
Amia Chair Upholstery Process:
Every pad goes through the following process:
- Seat Assembly is Fully Disassembled
- All Staples Holding Current Upholstery On Are Pulled
- Pads are Put Through our Proprietary Steam Box – This helps sterilize the foam and helps us remove the old fabric.
- Fabric is Patterned and Cut
- Back Pads are Sewn & Upholstered per OEM Specs
- New Fabric is Applied to Seat & Back
- Seat & Backs are Re-Assembled
- Upholstery is Complete and Ready to be Shipped
Refundable Pads Return Deposit:
Our upholstery service is just that, a service. We are not simply selling new seat and back pads, we are selling the service of reupholstery. For this reason, we need to make sure the original seats and backs are returned to us to replenish our inventory and make sure we can continue to offer this service.
Every order will include a $100 pad return deposit. Once old pads are returned with included pre-paid return label, this $100 deposit will be refunded to the original payment method.
2 Year Warranty:
Our Amia Chair upholstery service is warranted against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship for a period of 2 years from receiving the replacement pads.
**UPHOLSTERY WARRANTY NOT APPLICABLE TO CUSTOMERS WHO DO NOT RETURN ORIGINAL SEAT & BACK PADS**
Guilford of Maine's Open House line of fabric has been the gold standard for 100% Polyester woven commercial grade seating fabrics, and our go-to standard upholstery fabric since we opened our doors in 2002. Chosen for it's consistent high quality, and high durability rating of 250,000 double rubs, Open House is a great standard fabric that will last.
We're excited to be offering our new proprietary BioKnit fabric on all of our chairs! This unique knitted fabric is significantly softer than most traditional woven fabrics, is made of 100% recycled material, is bleach cleanable, biodegradable, and made in the USA, all without sacrificing durability.
NOTE: BioKnit is not Available on Gestures with Wrap Back or Headrest at this time.
BioKnit is 100% made, dyed, and knitted in Grand Rapids, Michigan! Keeping things local, just the way we like it!
Being a knitted fabric makes BioKnit softer, stretchier, more breathable, while also being made to size to reduce fabric waste significantly.
BioKnit has a Durability Rating of 250,000 Double Rubs; 16.6x the 15,000 required to be considered "Heavy Duty Commercial Grade"
BioKnit has a cleaning code of WS (Water or Solvent Based Cleaners), and is also Bleach Cleanable (9:1 Water:Bleach)
At the end of it's useful life, BioKnit can be recycled or sent to a landfill where it will safely biodegrade in as little as 1,278 days.
BioKnit is constructed of 100% Post-Consumer Recycled polyester, and can also be recycled again at the end of it's useful life.
Made using the same materials and process as our original BioKnit fabric, our 3D BioKnit fabric is a thicker, more breathable version that utilizes two different yarn colors, creating a unique 3 dimensional look to any office chair.
- Softer & More Breathable Than Standard Fabrics
- Thicker 3D Construction
- Constructed Using Two Yarn Colors for Unique 3D Look
- Rated at 150,000 Double Rubs (15,000+ is considered heavy duty commercial grade)
- Content: 100% Polyester
- 9 Color Choices Available
- Made in the USA
3D BioKnit Color Note: The front color is the prominent color, and covers more surface area than the back color. If you are trying to match the seat to the back, the front color (listed first) will match much closer than if trying to match the back color. (example: Gunmetal/Splash will match much better with a Gunmetal Seat than a Splash Seat)
NOTE: 3D BioKnit is not Available on Gestures with Wrap Back or Headrest at this time.
*Note: 3D BioKnit Fabric Pictured on V2 Leap Chair, but Available on All Chairs 🙂
We are now offering full-grain leather as a premium upholstery option. We took a great deal of time to source premium leather, which only come from Europe and New Zealand cattle, and provide a luxurious soft and smooth hand feel. Our leather is ~1mm thick, and has a Wyzenbeek Abrasion Rating of 100,000 double rubs.
We cut and sew every hide to-order, by hand. Because of this, every chair will be slightly unique. We also stitch every hide on every chair to match OEM stitching patterns.
We are also offering a limited selection of real leather with a Microfiber Suede coating. This leather is a split leather from Europe with a Microfiber Suede layer applied to it, providing an extremely unique and soft suede feel, while also providing stain resistance, UV protection, and high wear resistance. If you want a real leather with an extremely soft and durable suede-like feel, this a great option!
Texture Note: Our Micro-Suede Leather has a directionality to it - when you move your hand over the leather, it will change the look of the leather.
Ultrafabrics Brisa Vinyl has set the bar for premium grade polyurethane vinyl. The softness and hand feel of Brisa really needs to be felt to be appreciated - it is genuinely one of the softest, most comfortable materials we've ever upholstered with. What's more, it achieves this while providing one of the most breathable vinyls on the market, and maintaining an extreme Wyzenbeek Abrasion Rating of 300,000 double rubs.
For the first time ever, we are now offering a 100% Natural Wool based upholstery option. Our wool fabric has a two-tone weave that provides a very unique look. As with most natural wool products, this fabric has a more textured/course hand feel than a more traditional polyester based fabric, and is prone to a bit of natural pilling over time.

Our staff has been real happy with the chairs I’ve redone. They think that they are getting new chairs and we are saving a bunch of money.

It’s a month after I ordered this and I am still going back and forth with customer service to fully install these. The seat pad in vinyl is really nice. The back pad I still can’t get to fully stay on and the upholstery is stapled a bit haphazardly.

Rather than purchasing a whole new office chair, I decided to replace my old cushions with newly padded and upholstered ones from Crandall. Ordering was quick and easy, their staff emailed me requesting photos to confirm my order was for the correct chair which was very appreciated. Turnaround time from placing my order to receiving my new cushions was ~1 week and my rebate for return of my old cushions took ~1 additional week and was a very simple process. The new cushions are well-made and very easy to replace with the videos provided on your website. Thanks so much!!! Would 100% recommend Crandall for any office furniture needs. 🙂

I am beyond pleased with the look and quality of my new Amia pads from Crandall! Swapping out the old pads was super easy. The additional foam padding was worth every penny. Customer service was absolutely top notch as I decided after placing the order that I wanted to change my color selection and they had zero issues making the adjustments. I highly recommend Crandall Office Furniture!

Despite the added 1/2″ foam, I find myself really feeling the plastic under the seat after a few weeks of use. They look nice, but now honestly doesn’t it feel much different from the the pads that were on the chair before that were from 2009. Maybe the original pads just hold up extremely well, or that these really pads don’t. I’m unsure.
JEFFREY (verified owner) –
I’m I am extremely impressed. The chair is like new again. It’s a 10 year old chair and the cushions weren’t as plump as when new. The upholstery and pads have rejuvenated my chair. I’m no longer bottoming out on the seat pan. Thanks Crandall!

Beautiful job! And my custom print is out of this world! Their customer service compared to the other big 2 companies is uncomparable! All my chair business will be with Crandall from here on out!
